The Key Differences Between Conrado and Coelho
The better wrestler and more dangerous grappler seems to be Kelly Conrado. He likes to use his Muay Thai skills with a high guard. Constantly counter-punching and looking to catch kicks to score sweeps and takedowns. He is the more technically impressive fighter, judging from the eye test.
Coelho has the experience advantage in life, training, and arguably the level of competition. He fights similarly to Kelly Conrado in striking situations but will tend to throw some wild punches with a lot of effort behind them.
It will be interesting to see how his cardio is with a 5-round title fight. When he switches to southpaw, Coelho gets caught a few times, but he likes switching stances.
