@AyyLmaonnaise 
I think so too. Both those fighters love to stand and bang. Although I can definitely see Ribeiro trying to clinch and take Zhang to the ground if needed

Quinlan lacks hate in his heart to do anything except be a nothingburger.

Commercial cut off a depeche mode entrance walkout. Not cool.

Zhang seems super fun but all I've seen is against very suspect opposition. Should be a fun one while it lasts though

Come on Ribeiro. Use your agression and crush him in the most entertaining fashion possible.

Anyone saying they're confident in their pick here is lying to themselves. All it takes is one punch from either of these guys.
