The X Factor: On paper, Ciesnolevicz should be able to grapple-stomp Drwal, but his chin is a huge liability against someone who makes his living by going for broke with his fists. If Ciesnolevicz can’t score a takedown early or, worse yet, tries to play Drwal’s game, he’ll end up with some short-term memory loss. If only the Knockout of the Night victim got a cut of the bonus.
The Bottom Line: You’ll have to fire up the create-a-fighter mode on “Undisputed” to see Drwal invert Ciesnolevicz’s skull, as this could turn into a sanctioned curb-stomping with Drwal getting the post-fight dental work. If it’s any consolation for Drwal, he’s still the best Polish light heavyweight slugger in the UFC and that’s something I’ll never be able to say myself.
