Somebody is getting knocked out! Daukaus hasn’t had a fight go the distance in six years. Rozenstruik has gone the distance against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 266, but he also likes to finish fights early. The longer the fight goes the better chance Rozenstriuk is going to have to land a big shot. Daukaus will come out stronger, but will likely slow down if he can’t get Rozenstriuk out of there in a round. Rozenstriuk is the harder puncher and he appears to have a slightly better chin. He should win by stoppage in the second round.
