Tim Means vs Nicolas Dalby: Analysis
Dalby has a great record. But he has some holes in his game too. Those have been prominent especially in his recent fights. Against an experienced campaigner like Means, that can prove to be a recipe for disaster.

Means throws some really good straight shots at his opponents. Dalby’s defense needs to be on point for that. His last opponent Daniel Rodriguez didn’t quite exploit those facts. But Means is certainly mean enough to that.
‘The Dirty Bird’ should catch Dalby with some straight shots down the line and eventually finish the fight by T/KO during the early exchanges at the start of the contest.
