There was a point in time when Antonio Tricoli was a viable fighter and had himself a hot girlfriend. But we are closer to the Bears winning a Superbowl than we are to Antonio Tricoli winning a fight. His only real chance here would be to go all in on the grappling, but in order for him to do that he will have to weather a storm on the feet which I don't think he can. Tricoli is a bit of a quitter and has no problem finding a way out. Mantas is the pick and hopefully I am not screaming “Contender Series Fade” in the recap video.

Antonio Trocoli

Antonio Trocoli is a tall, long guy who comes forward striking and once the distance is closed he looks to grapple. He doesn't look like he has great power, but he has plenty of knockdowns and knockouts because of his length and his ability to hit you so far outside the pocket. His takedowns are mostly trips and uchi madas but once he gets you to the ground he is an aggressive grappler who uses that length to lock up chokes. He is coming off his 3rd finish loss in a row and somehow his second guillotine.

Mantas Kondratavicius

Mantas Kondratavicius is a kickboxer with a solid jab and good power. He is long and uses his knees and elbows really both in and out of the pocket. He doesn't offensively grapple very often but he will work forward and when you back up the cage he attacks heavy. His takedown defense is solid but relatively untested.
