From the corner

Chikadze's the taller, longer man here with a real reach edge and heavy kickboxing power, but he's 37 and coming off a rough stretch while Brito is younger, hungrier, and can put you on your back with real takedown volume and submission threat. If Giga keeps this standing and on the outside he can pick Brito apart, but if Brito closes distance and gets top position this turns ugly fast. The books have Giga as a bigger underdog than the fight really calls for given his power and length advantage.

What beats it

If Brito drags this to the mat early and imposes his wrestling and top pressure, Giga's chin and cardio at 37 get tested hard.
