Marco Tulio

Nationality: Brazil

Weight: 83.9 kg
Total Fights: 13
Record: 12 / 1 / 0

Marco Tulio, with a strong performance history, holds a professional record of 12 wins and 1 loss, majorly through knockouts. His striking skills were evident in his recent win against Matthieu Letho Duclos by a TKO featuring a spinning back kick and punches. Considering Duclos's similar knockout capacity to Potieria's but lower experience level, Tulio may hold an edge in understanding how to effectively control opponents with powerful strike-based tactics.

Ihor Potieria

Weight: 83.9 kg
Total Fights: 27
Record: 20 / 7 / 0

Ihor Potieria arrives with a diverse experience totaling 20 wins out of 27 bouts, posessing a broader fight catalog. His last bout resulted in a loss via unanimous decision against Cesar Almeida, indicating potential challenges handling fighters with robust defense like Tulio. Given his propensity for multiple wins through knockouts albeit lesser consistency under pressure compared to Marco's current streak, Potieria needs strategic adjustments to counteract Tulio’s aggressive style.
