KEY STRENGTHS
  • BJJ Fundamentals (Blue Belt+)
  • Top Control Pressure
  • Submission Hunting
GYM QUALITY & STYLE

Coming from a Pure Jiu-Jitsu academy in Ukraine. "Pirates Rolling" isn't just a name; it reflects a style of swarming and isolating limbs. Tyshchenko will likely look to close distance immediately to avoid Aida's striking and turn this into a grappling match.

AI PREDICTION

WINNER: MOUSTAPHA AIDA

Method: Decision (Unanimous)

"The Old Lions War." At 39 vs 40, this fight comes down to level of competition. Aida has been swimming in the deep waters of Ares FC against younger, fiercer competition like Mssaate and Pena. Tyshchenko's recent loss to Loof (KO) at 39 suggests durability issues against strikers. Aida's experience and "French Toughness" should allow him to weather the grappling storm and outpoint the Ukrainian on the feet.
