Deyzel enters the matchup undefeated at 4-0 and has shown impressive finishing instincts, securing submissions against Benedict Mbano, Bruce Mayasi, and Patrick Steyn. His lone decision victory over Fabian Capote demonstrated that he can also maintain his effectiveness over three rounds when needed.
