Ian Heinisch sees a lot of similarities between himself and UFC 241 opponent Derek Brunson.
They’re both wrestlers. They both have a tendency to brawl and they’re both pressure fighters. But that’s where Heinisch would like to see the comparisons end.
Heinisch sees himself as being superior in the wrestling and standup and he’ll get the chance to prove it when he and Brunson fight on Saturday’s main card at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Even more importantly, Heinisch wants to show that he’ll have better results when the time comes for him to face the kinds of marquee names that Brunson has faced.
