At one point in time Francis was a solid prospect and seemed like a guy the UFC wanted to push. I think that time is done and gone. Dennis Buzukja doesn't wrestle as much as i would like him to, but I still think he wins here. He has hands, has wrestling and has had a full fight camp. Francis is tough and if he offensively wrestles, could potentially make something happen, but he is a year removed from his last fight and in that fight he showed us he cant handle wrestling pressure. I bet on Dennis here at -110 and am hoping I don't get burned.

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 aggresive 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 his first UFC win over Connor Matthews where he showcased scrambling skills and power.

Francis Marshall

Francis Marshall is a heavy handed grappler who comes forward with power and speed to setup his traditional takedowns and jiu jitsu. He is comfortable striking but almost too comfortable, he will keep his hands low and throw out long jabs and hooks. When he shoots they are well timed and full of energy. He is young in his career and is hit more than he should be, but he does a nice job baiting you into a striking match before shooting blast doubles. He is coming off the TKO loss to Isaac Dulgarian where he had nothing to offer off his back.
