Great fight between two up and comers at FW: Burgos vs Kattar

[fortheo]

Shane Burgos vs. Calvin Kattar was announced the other day.

Shane Burgos is 10-0 from New york, and he'll be facing 17-2 Calvin Kattar in his home town of Boston for UFC 220.

These are two of the higher level, yet low key fighters at FW right now.

For those who need reminders, this is Burgos:

And this is Kattar on two weeks notice against Fili:

I think Burgos has a slight advantage on the feet, but Kattar mixes things up better. Great fight, but I'll root for Kattar since he's a local guy.

Awesome. Will Not be watching.

Thanks for the heads up. Have heard good things about both guys

Burgos is one of my favorite prospects right now by far but Kattar was really impressive against Fili.

Type of matchup where i hate to see someone lose

I remember thinking Burgos looked nasty in there, fun style.

Yeah. He's also huge for the FW division, but so is Kattar. I have no idea how either guy makes weight.

Kattar seemed really powerful for this weight.

I have only seen him in that one fight versus Fili. I remember him starting slow but getting really confident as the fight went on.

Burgos had really good footwork, defense and set ups for his attacks but I really like Calvin.

This will be a really good fight. I can't wait to see what happens

This fight is in a few days. Who do you guys got?

I'm siding with Kattar, but my brain is saying Burgos...
