Emelianenko gives prediction for the Brunson vs. Till fight

Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko shared his predictions for the fight Derek Brunson vs Darren Till, which will take place on the night of September 5 at UFC Fight Night 191.

"Derek has always been a standout fighter in the UFC, not a single boring fight I can recall him competing in. He's 37 years old and it feels like he's at the peak of his career. He fights very well now, even against difficult opponents. And he's not too shabby in terms of cardio either, as his fight with Holland showed.

But Brunson's grip is weak, of course, old injuries can't go away. Till is doing better, and he's nine years younger. In mixed martial arts, that's a big difference. Till can be faster and more diverse, Brunson can only do what he's told he has to do so he can't switch over quick enough.

It seems to me that the Englishman will get his way here due to his firmness and technique," Emelianenko said.
