Adashev will feel confident from the fact that he will face someone of his own height. Losing to Nam and Mudaerji shouldn’t get into his head. Benoit’s offensive wrestling hasn’t quite developed yet, and he always falls in his standup game. Though he has some serious power to damage Adashev.
Adashev outclasses Benoit in a pure striking battle, as Benoit’s underdeveloped takedown game can not prevent this to not happen. So, a fast-paced slugfest sees Adashev landing the cleaner blows to seal the deal for him.
