⭐ Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers have Hernandez as a clear favorite, but this might slightly underestimate Dolidze's skills. Let's not forget that Roman has a strong wrestling background. On paper, Anthony's takedowns and ground game shouldn't pose a significant threat to the Georgian fighter. We believe Dolidze is capable of neutralizing the American's wrestling and imposing his own stand-up game, where he appears to have the upper hand.
