Prediction: Toss Up (Lean Gurule)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aguilar has all the tools to win. He\u2019s strong in the grappling, he\u2019s got legit power in his hands, and when he\u2019s on, he can rack up control time or create big moments that swing rounds. The problem is he\u2019s got this bad habit of making huge mistakes. On the feet, he\u2019ll take wild, looping swings that leave him open, and in the grappling, he\u2019ll forget the little details that either cost him dominant positions or stop him from really locking them down. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so hard to trust him even when you know what he\u2019s capable of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gurule, on the other hand, is smoother. He flows on the feet, works with high volume, and he\u2019s not easy to hold down. The moment a grappling exchange starts, he reacts instantly and fights to scramble back up, which makes it tough for someone like Aguilar to just sit on top of him. On the feet, Gurule\u2019s activity and rhythm can really rack up points and make Aguilar chase. The issue for him, though, is that he doesn\u2019t always set up his shots and his defense isn\u2019t airtight. So basically he’ll stay exposed to the danger that is Aguilar\u2019s power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stylistically, this should be Gurule\u2019s fight. He\u2019s the more consistent guy, he flows better, and he\u2019s harder to control. But when you factor in Aguilar\u2019s raw power and the fact that he can flip the fight with one moment or dominate stretches of control if he tightens up his mistakes, it\u2019s tough to call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
