Editorial Prediction
Yes, Shlemenko's prime years are behind him, with his speed and sharpness not what they once were. However, "Storm" remains a highly skilled fighter. Shlemenko is a master of stand-up, working with combinations and constantly threatening with his signature spinning backfist. He possesses immense experience and knockout power that is off the charts, and we believe this will be enough in the upcoming bout.
Of course, Cadena is a decent jiu-jitsu practitioner, but whenever he faces an opponent of above-average caliber, he runs into trouble. Against a highly motivated Shlemenko, these problems are unavoidable...
