Jacobe Smith

He expects Ko to control where the fight takes place, betting that Smith won't be able to keep him down or out-strike him standing.

Smith fights behind real forward pressure and genuine punching power, and he's found a nice wrinkle blending his leg kick into a trip that dumps opponents straight into his wrestling. His grappling is solid across the board - plenty of takedowns, a high mat-return rate, and aggressive finishing instincts once he's on top - but he tends to circulate from position to position rather than smothering opponents with heavy pressure the way his opponent does. The read favors Ko keeping this standing and out-working him there.
