TheWeasle expects Ateba Gautier to "butcher" Robert Valentine via second-round KO. At 6'4" with an 81-inch reach, Gautier is as long as Israel Adesanya but twice as thick, yet still makes middleweight. He fights tall behind a jab, straight left and punishing low kicks, keeping his hands high on both offense and defense. Valentine’s best path is wrestling—his scrambles versus Ryan Loder were solid—but TheWeasle doubts he can penetrate Gautier’s distance management. With hand traps and constant defensive responsibility, Gautier should land heavy counters until Valentine crumbles.
