An intense matchup between 2 solid strikers. Both fighters have transitioned from kickboxing and both fighters need to work on their ground game. Suzuki has the quick and devastating hooks and a jumping knee up the middle. Hiramoto has crisp straight hands that goes right through the pipe. Both fighters have great forward pressure and is interesting to see who takes the center of the ring first. The key to this fight is who has the better ground game. They may not need it, but simply mixing in takedown attempts during a striking exchange will make a big change. The one with more cards to play will have the advantage in this fight.

How will Yamamoto deal with Aguon’s chess like approach and how will Aguon deal with Yamamoto’s wild scrambles. This fight has potential of being a very exciting fight, or a very slow fight.
