PREDICTION: so this is grappler vs grappler matchup , both fighters is purple belt in bjj and we know both fighters will trying to take each other to the ground quickly in this fight , but Piet Kriel is more experienced than his opponent inside HFC cage so i choose Piet Kriel win via first round submission
