This fight is a throwback and a true grappler vs striker matchup. If Kaan had better takedowns he would be a clear pick and if Kaan had more power, he would be the clear pick. This is a fairly close fight and I think they both have some success. We've seen Mairon get taken down and finished in the LFA. We've seen Kaan struggle at times to get fights to the ground and I think these odds, with Mairon as a 2-1 favorite, are a bit wide. Ultimately i am going to pick Mairon here because I think the size will be the difference. Mairon is very big and very logn for the weight class and i can see Kaan struggling to close distance or even wrap up the legs to get a takedown. Mairon is the pick, but avoiding for bets.

Kaan Ofli

Kaan Ofli is a BJJ blackbelt with ok takedowns and ok striking. He is busy on the ground and always looking for something. He is not the longest guy in the world so does rely on strength to control positions and work in sweeps. He has offensive takedowns as well but can be taken down if you stick to a wrestling gameplan against him. He's a short compact guy who can be hard to move around.

Mairon Santos

Mairon Santos is a big powerful striker with soldi takedown defense and plenty of patience. He isn't low volume per say, but he definitley plots forward and picks his shots. He has power in both his hands and feet and does a great job defending takedowns with an incredibly wide base. If he doesnt find a stoppage, he will keep his composure and continue with the gamepan.
