Andre Fili vs Daniel Pineda: Analysis

Pineda is a crafty submission artist. However, he might not necessarily have the size advantage over Fili that he generally has over his other opponents. That might play a crucial role in the fight.

Fili might just be able to outbox Pineda since the start of the fight. This should make ‘The Pit‘ panic and force him to make mistakes. ‘Touchy‘ might just be too skilled a fighter to afford those casualties against. He is expected to exploit the sloppy side of Pineda and eventually earn a T/KO finish in his favor.
