Prediction: Santiago Luna via Submission<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both guys are down to trade, both are hittable, and both can crack, so you\u2019re gonna get moments where it looks like either fighter could steal the momentum. But for me, I\u2019m on Santiago Luna to get this one done and here’s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luna\u2019s background in wrestling is the real separator. He\u2019s not just a wrestler that shoots when he\u2019s desperate. He\u2019s an accomplished grappler who\u2019s comfortable mixing it up on the feet because he knows he\u2019s got that \u201cget out of jail free\u201d card anytime he needs it. When you\u2019ve got power in your hands and the confidence that you can take the fight down at will, that changes how you approach exchanges. Luna\u2019s willing to stand and bang because he\u2019s got that ace in his pocket, and that gives him a huge edge mentally and tactically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quang Le is dangerous, though. His timing is clean, especially when he\u2019s reacting to opponents rushing in. He can land hard counters and he makes guys pay when they\u2019re sloppy on entries. The problem for Le is that he\u2019s just as hittable as Luna, maybe even more. He doesn\u2019t really move his head, and his footwork is straight lines\u2014no angles, no trickiness. This just means that even is he has moments on the feet he is open for take downs any time Santiago wants. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
