Antonio TrocolivsMantas Kondratavicius

Here's the thing though, we don't have much intel on Mantas Kondratavicius. No UFC history in the database, which means this is likely his promotional debut. That's a wild card situation. Fresh blood coming into the Octagon against a guy who's desperate to stop the bleeding. Trocoli trains out of LG System in Brazil and fights orthodox, but his recent performances show some serious defensive holes, especially in the grappling exchanges where he's getting his neck snatched. The technical breakdown is pretty straightforward.

Trocoli has been too willing to shoot takedowns without setting them up properly, and he's paying for it with his chin exposed. Against Gore he went 0 for 1 on takedowns before getting choked. Same story against Abdul-Malik. His striking accuracy isn't terrible, sitting around 40 to 51 percent, but he's not landing enough volume before things go south. If Kondratavicius has any submission game at all, Trocoli better have spent this entire camp working on his neck defense.
