Prediction: Rodrigo Sezinando via Decision
On the feet, Sezinando got heavy hands, but that’s actually where he’s at a slight disadvantage. Donchenko is the cleaner striker overall. He picks his shots well, plants on them with real weight, and once he finds that range and rhythm, he starts flowing with combinations. Meanwhile, Sezinando can get a little wild. He tends to overswing and put everything behind one shot, which leaves him open for counters and off balance if he misses. But the danger is real: if he lands clean, Donchenko can absolutely go out.
Where this fight really tilts, though, is on the ground. That’s Sezinando’s trump card. Even when fights get gritty or messy, he doesn’t panic going for sloppy takedowns out of desperation. Instead, he patiently waits for the right time to get in on his grappling entries. He approached this with smarts, and once he gets in deep, his strength and control take over. His top game is heavy, and that’s where he separates himself. Donchenko is dangerous while upright, but once he’s stuck underneath Sezinando, the fight slows down, and that’s when the control and pressure start racking up rounds.
