Alatengheili vs. Kleydson Rodrigues
ALATENG VS RODRIGUES

Alatengheili is the exact type of guy to sneak in an upset win, especially over someone like Kleydson. While Kleydson has tons of forward pressure and is always doing something, he does make mistakes. He will get overly exposed, he will overcommit to something and then get taken down. I'm still going to lean Kleydson here because I like the pressure, but let's hope he doesn't get taken down and ridden out.

 

ALATENGHEILI

Alatengheili can be a technical striker or a busy grappler but it is not often he can do both. He has 4 fights where he decided to wrestle with a combined 11 takedowns. He was also out struck in pretty much all of them. Point being, he has almost no fights where he had success both grappling and striking. But he can out strike people and out grapple people individually. He is tough and nails but can struggle with brawlers. He is coming off the decision loss to Chris Guitirrez where he worked in 2 takedowns but was out struck 110 to 38.

 

KLEYDSON RODRIGUES

Kleydson Rodrigues is a pressure fighter who is a ton of fun. He has a very versatile striking style where he mixes in kicks really well. He has power in his hands but he throws a lot of those punches from his hips so they are a bit telegraphed. His takedown defense can definitely use some work but his takedown offense is solid. He has nice trips from the clinch and almost has a grecco wrestling style. When he's on top he does a great job of establishing his positions and then striking from there. He is coming off the finish loss to Farid Basharat where he was outclassed but had plenty of pressure and was always doing something.
