Solid combatant. Pressure fighter,aggressive,hard punching, good chin...rugged guy but by no means elite.

Never seen him on FNF? He's a completely average brawler/pressure figher with great determination and heart

Is he comparable to Carl Froch in that sense?

Lol no, more like an even more average version of Juan Diaz, or Alvarado

The fight is a mismatch. Provodnikov is an aggressive but limited fighter, not world-class. He's lacks power, athleticism, and technical skill, although he does have heart and a good chin.

He'll make Bradley look good.

There are much better Russian fighters at 140 such as Khabib Allakhverdiev and Denis Shafikov (who is actually having his next fight at 135).

I thought Provodnikov was going to be one of those well schooled but unheralded Russian fighters who is always capable of the upset. Seems not...

No not at all, he's been fighting in the US and on FNF for like 3 years now. He's a perfect FNF level opponent
