Damian is fun to watch and will bring pressure, but I think John Pork is just too clean and defensively sound. For all the offense Damian has, he doesn't do a great job defending and is hittable. The real question will be what happens if Damian shoots a takedown below the hips and in the center of the octagon. Unfortunately i don't think we get an answer to that question. I think Pork controls the striking so well that even if Damian shoots, it will be a bad shot and easily rejected. Pork is the pick and the odds are probably correct.

Damian Rzepecki

Damian Rzepecki is an offensive striker who is constantly doing something. He loves throwing kicks both to the legs and the head and then enters the pocket with a flurry. He will shoot takedowns as well where he does a nice job shooting below the hips. when he hits the ground he splits between ground and pound and looking for a submission but I would say he is most comfortable on his feet. He is a busy who hunts for finishes.

Magomed Zaynukov

Magomed Zaynukov, more affectionately knows as “John Pork” is a nasty striker. In fact, in the video that earned him the John Pork nickname, Islam introduces him as a 2x world professional muay thai champion. And honestly, he fights like a Muay Thai guy. He has a high guard, forward pressure and does a great job mixing up punches, kicks, knees and elbows. He has plenty of offense and is defensively sound as well. While he is a very good striker, he isn't much of a power guy and tends to wear you down over 15 minutes. It's hard to get any real insight into his takedown defense, but against the cage, its solid and we know he is trainign with a bunch of wrestling beasts.
