Cavalheiro vs. Held

This is the official discussion thread for Cavalheiro vs. Held. Let's see what you've got.

Held's never been KO'd, but I'm not sure he's ever faced this strong a striker. Then again, I'm not sure Cavalheiro's ever KO'd a guy with Held's chin. Held's been rocked before, but he recovers well, and his ground game is superb. He's good at taking things there with both wrestling and jiujitsu, and he's got a very dangerous arsenal of submissions. Cavalheiro has demonstrated vulnerability to submissions, and hasn't demonstrated a particularly strong takedown defense. He's not particularly aggressive though, and he's dangerous in counterattack, so I give Held until the second round to find the right opening. Held seems a little more likely to gas than Cavalheiro though, so I'm skeptical of the heavy odds in Held's favor, especially if he doesn't find that opening soon enough...
