FightIQ Verdict
"Raul Rosas Jr. uses his massive advantage in takedown volume and younger physical prime to dictate the clinch and mat exchanges against the aging Raoni Barcelos. While Barcelos is a technical veteran, he struggles to prevent being grounded by high-volume wrestlers, and Rosas Jr.'s 6.1 takedowns per 15 minutes will create the necessary control time to secure rounds."
Casual observers overvalue Raoni Barcelos's striking volume, ignoring that he is 39 years old and has been susceptible to being neutralized in the clinch and on the mat by younger, fresher wrestlers who commit to the grappling grind.
