Prediction: Dulatov went from a tough fight in Ming Deng to a layup in Antunes on DWCS Episode 9. Antunes is riding a win streak of three but those six losses are there for a reason. Those three wins were against lesser guys too.
Outside of a little bit of striking Antunes isn’t that good. He’s not going to out-strike Dultov and he’s not going to out-grapple anyone. I like Dulatov by knockout in the first round. Antunes is too chinny and gasses after minutes. I’m 100% confident.
