I'm basically blindly picking Brando here. We don't have a ton of real world experience between these 2 guys. Theres regional wins and the UFC fights that tell me nothing. Louie lost in 84 seconds to a good guy and Brando beat up a retired cop in 115 seconds. I know nothing new about these guys by watching their last fights. But i do know that Brando is fast, athletic and a very good kickboxer. If Louie is looking to spam power shots I have to assume that Brando dots him up with clean straights. Brando also has the wrestling upside, but if he's wrestling that will not be a good sign. Brando is going to be the pick, but reminder that these are untested heavyweights.
Louie Sutherland
Louie Sutherland is a heavy handed striker who has the stance of a body builder, but is surprisingly versatile for someone with his build. He uses kicks and long jabs to manage range before cmmiting to power. When he lets his hands go he has a ton of power and a good amount of speed. He can be hittable which is concerning at this weight class, but his range management keeps him away. He is buy no means a great wrestler, but he does have the occasional takedown. He is coming off the record setting heel look loss to Valter Walker where landed one big shot and then was taken down.
Brando Pericic
Brando Pericic is the a large athletic heavyweight who moves like a middle weight. He has professional kickboxing experience and like everyone else before him with kickboxing that lives on that side of the world, trains at City Kickboxing. He is relatively untested in MMA, but he obviously has high level striking with takedowns in the mix. The takedown defense is seemingly solid as well. He is coming off the quick KO win over Elisha Ellison in his UFC debut
