When you compare the opponents that Aspinall beat vs the opponents that Pavlovich beat and the way he beat them, in some ways its not a surprise that Pavlovich is the favourite to win this one coming Saturday but with that being said in terms of the overall ability Aspinall is the more all around fighter and usually most of the times the more all around fighter wins, now about Pavlovich they say he's a all around fighter too because of his sambo and greco roman wrestling style of fight but I have yet to see it which is obviously not his fault because he's finishing opponents quickly with his hands before someone even attempts to grapple him and he hasn't fought against too much elite grapplers either except for Blaydes even though he didn't really try to grapple much vs Pavlovich. Overall I got Aspinall but in order for him to prevail he has turn into a actual wresler I personally feel or at least give him something to think about when it comes to the wrestling game so that open things upstairs in the standup.
