UFC Baku: Daniil Donchenko vs. Theodor Berggren: Prediction
A TKO/KO win for Donchenko over Berggren is my prediction, as he’s the better striker and has one-punch knockout power. Though Berggren can force scrambles and clinch battles, Donchenko could overpower him and reverse positions against the cage.
Berggren is known for his relentless grappling style, but when his opponents start defending takedowns, he gets frustrated and often blows his cardio. This creates opportunities for his opponents to beat him in the later rounds.
Additionally, Donchenko has experience competing under the bright lights of the UFC with two bouts under his belt. This will play a major role against Berggren, who will make his debut under the Las Vegas-based organization.
