Pros and Cons

Lee Chang Ho

Pros

  • Good wrestling
  • Heavy ground and pound
  • Strong gas tank
  • Submission threat
  • Solid grappling
  • Good defensive wrestling
  • Strikes to wrestle well
  • Scrambles well

Cons

  • Lacks head movement

Rana Rudra Pratap Singh

Pros

  • Submission threat
  • Dangerous off his back

Cons

  • Poor TDD
  • Too comfortable off his back
  • Zero striking

Prediction: Singh is a bottom-tier prospect. In India, he’s fought nothing but scrubs. For example, he’s fought seven guys with an 0-0 record.

This is a completely one-sided fight where I think Ho runs through him. Both are wrestlers/grapplers and Ho is clearly better. On the feet Ho is still developing but he’s still going to be better than Singh.
