Gautier possesses the size, power, and momentum that typically spells trouble for struggling veterans. The young Cameroonian has legitimate finishing ability that translates well to the UFC level.<\/p><p>Valentin&rsquo;s path to victory requires perfect execution and probably some luck. His best chance involves using his grappling experience to drag Gautier into deep waters. With six career submissions, Valentin could potentially catch his opponent if the fight hits the ground. However, Gautier&rsquo;s excellent takedown defense makes this scenario unlikely.
