Prediction: Both these guys look like good prospects and both were set up with easy opponents in the first round. This is the biggest step up in completion for both guys.
Both are solid wrestlers and that’s where I see this fight taking place. I view Zhawupasi as the more physical and aggressive wrestler. Lee is tough to take down but I believe the pressure and being able to chain wrestle will work in the favor of Zhawupasi. Even if Zhawupasi can’t get the takedown Lee has some gaps on the feet. Enough gaps where I think Zhawupasi could take advantage.
I like Zhawupasi in this fight as he’s the better wrestler.
