This fight might be a good time to take a bathroom break or make a beer run, because it’s going to be boring. There’s a good chance Kongo could finish Hardonk, but it’s all going to depend on which version of the Frenchman shows up. If the powerful striking version of Kongo shows up, Hardonk could go to sleep within a minute or two. If the decision-prone version of Kongo that can’t wrestle his way out of a paper bag steps in that cage, though, we’re going to be sitting through fifteen minutes of two guys rolling around and not doing anything remotely effective.
Can you tell that I’m not enthused about this fight? Because I’m not.
PREDICTION: Cheick Kongo by decision
