Benoit Saint-Denis' Strength

Benoit Saint-Denis is a very experienced guy in the octagon. He needs to work on his anti-wrestling system or work on a blend of judo trips/body lock takedowns if he's not open to learning free-style wrestling; those sweeps from the bottom half don't work against manic ground & pound.

Kyle Prepolec vs Benoit Saint-Denis Prediction

Although Benoit Saint-Denis is coming from two losses, he remains a heavy favorite for this matchup. He has the age advantage in this match, so recovery over a 35-year-old fighter should be faster for the “God of War.” Also, he is a smart fighter who likes getting victories in the early rounds of the event. Currently, it feels like Benoit has lost all of his aura. Hopefully, Saturday night, he will get it back, even against a lower-level opponent. A win in the first round is likely to happen in this fight. Benoit Saint Denis needs to get stronger and completely rebuild his body because he doesn't have the grappling strength and discipline required against a top 10 guy in the division.
