Modestas Bukauskas vs. Christian Edwards Pick, Prediction and Bets

BUKAUSKAS VS EDWARDS

Listen, this should absolutely be Modestats Bukauskas. He is the better overall fighter, he has the higher strength of schedule and he is light years ahead in the striking. But if this big bastard gets on top of him, then he may have some issues. I'm going to pick Modestas here because I think he will have Christian clamming up and shooting desperate takedowns within the first minute and a half of this fight. But without odds I have no idea if there is any value here, but I wouldn't hate a 2.5 round line so we can hit the under.

Modestas Bukauskas

Modestas Bukauskas is a very versatile striker who is dangerous on his feet. He can be a bit low volume which is why he has a negative striking differential. He has a 79% takedown defense and is typically a striker only. He is coming off the KO loss to Nikita Krylov where both the takedown defense sucked and he was knocked out.

Christian Edwards

Christian Edwards is an oversized ground and pound grappler that really only wants to do one thing. He will entertain the striking, but not for long. He quickly closes the distance, lowers his level and shoots. What makes him somewhat unique is that even at 6'5 he shoots real takedowns and isn't just dragging people to the ground with size. She he is on top is has good control and quickly starts working to a finish.
