David Zawada definitely possesses some power on his side and sneaky submissions off of his back but it is nothing that Magomedkerimov hasn't already seen before against a much higher level of competition. As long as Magomedkerimov is on his A-game he should breeze through his competition en route to another PFL playoff birth.
