TECHNICAL WAR ROOM

DAMIAN IGNATOWICZ

TACTICAL BREAKDOWN

Ignatowicz is the only fighter here with a professional victory. His grappling is his primary weapon. He should look to exploit Ayari’s defensive vulnerabilities on the mat early.

MAHDI AYARI

TACTICAL BREAKDOWN

Ayari is technically winless but has shown flashes of decent kickboxing. His path is to keep the fight standing and use his slight height/reach advantage to pick Ignatowicz apart.

AGENT 22 PREDICTION

WINNER: DAMIAN IGNATOWICZ

Method: SUBMISSION (R2)

In a fight between two struggling regional prospects, the one with the grappling floor usually prevails. Ignatowicz has a pro win and a submission foundation. Ayari’s 0-2-1 record suggests he lacks the finishing instinct required to stop Ignatowicz’s takedown attempts.
