Ludovit “Mr. Highlight” Klein Analysis
On the other side, there is Ludovit Klein or as he is known ‘‘Mr. Highlight’’ who is a southpaw and while not quite inactive, he does rely heavily on striking. In this category, Klein once again, has better numbers compared to Zawada, complying with significant strikes per minute 3.96%, and has a higher accuracy of 55%, while receiving a slightly lesser number of them, 3.74%. His takedown defense at 53% is not great but it is not dramatically worse than Moises and the strength of his striking allows him to easily make up for the vulnerability on the ground. Klein, during his fight with Cunningham who entered with a high grappling attack success rate at 83%, however did not allow grubbling attempts during the fight. His strategy will probably involve staying away from Moises, which will allow him to keep him at an arm’s length and use strikes as the primary means to keep Moises off for good.
