FightIQ Verdict
"Donte Johnson rates 8 points higher at 76 and holds a superior, tested takedown defense, which is vital against a prospect like Susurkaev. While Susurkaev has impressive finishing numbers, his UFC-level data is less tested than Johnson's competitive track record against names like Cody Brundage and Sedriques Dumas."
The massive disparity in physical stature. Susurkaev is 6'2" with a 79" reach compared to Johnson's 5'8" and 74" reach, meaning Johnson must navigate a 6-inch height deficit against an opponent who will likely use his length to force exchanges that favor his own reach advantage.
