Last time i broke down Ramiz, i picked against him. I picked the American wrestler and said i think he will get the takedowns and stay safe. And early, that was correct. I'm going to do the same thing here and hope I don't fumble this twice. Ramiz is obviously a dog, but so is Punahele. Punahele should have more power on the feet, be the more technical striker and have better wrestling. The only real concern would be the grappling but I think Punahele can either get it done on the feet or stay safe on the ground. So Puna is the pick.
Ramiz Brahimaj
Ramiz Brahimaj is an accomplished grappler who even though he is an accomplished grappler, can get stuck on his back. When he strikes he has good power in his hands and does have some success. All 13 of his wins are by finish with 12 of them being by submission. He is definitely a finish or bust fighter and in his last three outings, he found the finish. Most recently the come from behnd win over Austin Vanderford
Punahele Soriano
Punahele Soriano is a fluid striker who has tons of power and can put most people out on their feet. He was a D3 All American wrestler who despite his wrestling credentials has been taken down 18 times in 10 UFC fights. He can be first round or bust at times, but he does retain his power later into fights. He is coming off the decision wi over Nikolay Veretennikov where he went back to his wrestling roots.
