MICHAEL TRIZANO VS LUDOVIT KLEIN LOWDOWN
Michael Trizano (8-1) suffered the first loss of his career two years ago and we have not seen him since. He looked like an exciting lightweight prospect after winning The Ultimate Fighter in 2018. He earnt split decisions over Joe Giannetti in the final and then Luis Pena four months later. He then decided to drop down to featherweight where he took on Grant Dawson but became his 10th submission victim.
Ludovit Klein (17-2) also earnt the top prospect tag after crowning a superb eight-fight win streak with a stunning head kick knockout over Shane Young on his UFC debut. He is an electrifying fighter flying the flag for Slovakia and all but one of his 17 wins have ended in a finish (eight knockouts and eight submissions).
MICHAEL TRIZANO VS LUDOVIT KLEIN PREDICTION
Klein is a tough fight for anyone let alone with a two-year lay-off. He will be as dangerous as always threatening a range of kicks from his southpaw stance. His Muay Thai will cause problems but Trizano is also a striker by trade and he will be preparing for that left high kick.
Considering they are both strikers and tend to eat shots, this is likely to be a war exchanging a lot of heavy leather. If Trizano has been more active and shown some decent wrestling he would be a good shout but as this is likely to stay on the feet, you have to back Klein and his explosiveness. Klein has the power to hand Trizano his first knockout loss, but we have a feeling this is going to be a violent battle to the end.
