Prediction: This is the definition of a mid-off. I don’t expect either guy to excel in the UFC. The good thing is they both could be in exciting fights and this could be a fun scrap.
Both fighters are dangerous everywhere but have big gaps. On the feet I slightly favor Kruschewsky. He throws more output and hits a little bit harder. I favor Mantello in the wrestling/grappling due to his strength. If the grappling control of Mantello was a bit better I would pick him. In a fight I believe will stay standing I favor Kruschewsky. I believe both will be swinging wild but landing big shots. I feel better about Kruschewsky being able to take damage than I do Mantello. I predict the pressure and damage add up and Mantello eventually falls.
