Gautier vs Valentin Pick
Ateba Gautier is a potentially elite prospect in the middleweight division, with incredible athleticism but a raw skillset at 23 years old; and similar to Dulatov, there's a lot that we don't know about Gautier's skillset – cardio, resilience, durability, and especially defensive grappling or wrestling abilities. However, physically, he looks like the computer-generated champion you'd have to fight in a video game.
