I've said it before and I will continue to say it, SD Dumas is not very good. He is coming off a win over a striker where he used wrestling to get it done and the same gameplan could be successful for him here but I don't see it. I think Michal is just too fast and hits too hard. I think SD gets tagged up bad and even if he gets a takedown, it will be a sloppy mess. Michal is on a 3 fight skid, but those are all quality losses and every single one of those people run though SD. But while Michal is the pick, I definitely won't look at the -200 odds. SD has a chin on him and this could be a weird mess of a fight.
Sedriques Dumas
Sedriques Dumas is a street fighter who has worked his way out of the streets and into the UFC. Despite his origins as a fighter, he doesn't brawl in the octagon. He tries to keep things technical and work with actual MMA techniques. He has ok takedowns, ok kickboxing and uses techniques well. He has a solid chin and will not quite if things get tough. He is coming off the decision win over Denis Tuilulin where he went in on the wrestling but it was clear he didn't know what to do with it.
Michal Oleksiejczuk
Michal Oleksichuck is a very good striker with fast hands and a ton of pressure early. He has power as well with 6 KOs in his 7 UFC wins. While he's dangerous on his feet, he does have grappling holes and can fade as the fight goes on. He is coming off the decision loss to Shara Magomedov where he actually looked to offensive wrestling for a edge.
