Marek Bujlo vs. Denzel Freeman

Marek Bujlo vs. Denzel Freeman

I have no idea why 75% of people on Tapology are picking Marek. Either I'm stupid or 600 of you are. Marek is bigger and a good grappler, but Denzel is a better wrestler, a better striker and a better athlete. I'm going red, white and blue here. i think Denzel lands...
