In what is going to be a good fight here in the strawweight division it will be hard to call. However, one thing that is going to be an issue is the fact that Hill is not coming out strong in the submission style and relies more on the striker fighting, but with the speed and ability of Gadelha it will end up going to the ground in the fight here and that will lead to Gadelha winning this fight in what will most likely be a submission battle.
