To me his biggest strengths is his cardio and pressure. He's never been a technically skilled fighter and he's not much of a grappler. The only reason he beat Arnett despite being pieced up by the jab the entire fight is that he was willing to take a punch to get on the inside and get off his own, longer, combinations.
Against Morales he played more of the CK style with being patient and technical and it hurt his chances of success. Perhaps they're trying to mold him into a fighter that he is not?
Tough fight to call for me, I guess I'll lean Young based on him being younger and more experienced, that's usually a strong combination. Bilder looked a bit chinny in some fights and he's never really faced anyone good. Young always clinches against the fence though without accomplishing anything, Bilder should get his chance to grapple there at some point.

islam at some point said him and zubaira are both the same weight during fight week which in theory should be a good place to be at weight wise for zubaira but islam made the weight relatively easily and zubaira will borderline weigh in on time
