Sefo is a near 40 year old kickboxer well past his prime and fighting a year and half since a horrible MMA performance against Kevin Jordan. Ringrust, lack of MMA ability, you name it, it's working against Sefo tonight.
As far as Sergei, Andre has the skills to pose problems for him. However, there's the mental factor and the styles that stick out in my mind here. Sergei is pretty aggressive and powerful with his strikes. Andre has always had difficulty dealing with aggression and his chin has been cracked so many times, a stiff breeze from one of Sergei's shots may put him out. Also, Andre seems to really dwell on his loses, including using a sports psychologist prior to the Bigfoot loss. It seems to me an extra loss since and the tentative, scared manner in which he fought Bigfoot cannot be good for Andre's psyche and his confidence going into this fight.
