I haven't seen enough of Marcio's takedown defense to be sure that he can keep this fight standing, but I do know that despite Dennis' credentials, he doesn't wrestle that often. So assuming Marcio has decent defensive, he's the pick. The striking is very impressive. He maintains power with pressure while also moving his head and staying safe. I love him in this spot and think we can end up with a finish.

Dennis Buzukja

Dennis Buzukja is a come forward striker with solid wrestling and guts. He is very tough, has clean striking technique with power and then aggressive takedowns to round him out. He stays busy on the feet and is fast enough to hang but doesn't threaten the wrestling as much as he should considering his credentials. He is coming off the close loss to Francis Marshall where he was dropped and taken down but had success striking.

Marcio Barbosa

Marcio Barbosa is a powerful and aggressive striker who throws everything with intent and opten times from his hips. He has no problem head hunting or chasing finishes. He's almost like a small Hector Lombard where he plants and throws. He does a nice job stalking his opponents and staying somewhat defensively sound. You aren't going to see much wrestling out of him, but if he does end up on the ground he continues the finish energy and pounds away.
