[Arkridge]

This bout was reported on awhile back by Okamoto as being discussed, but it’s official now. Who you got?

I think Cub will take this one. Gracie looks unpolished to me. Dont think he'll ever be in a title picture .

 

[reddhelium]

i'll take kron. i feel like their career arcs are going in opposite directions, and cub seems to have problems with elite grapplers/sub artists.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Swanson is a good test/step up but... Kron by armbar.

 

[ToroSalvaje]

Kron by choke

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Quite a jump up in competition.

Can't help but feel he's not ready for someone like Cub.

 

[Klaavical]

Kron by submission

 

[Soul On Ice]

Classic striker vs the grappler match-up

Cub is a motherfucker, he survived five rounds with Artem Goatov. Kron shook big time.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Hard to tell what Swanson has left in the tank, but I don't expect Kron to be matched so soon against someone the UFC doesn't think he can beat.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

I see Kron getting destroyed, but then again I underestimated him even against Bruce Leroy, thought he would lose a decision in that one.

 

[standupsprawl]

Wtf no Kron vs Ryan hall!!

 

[Hardcore MMA]

Kron takes this one. If Cub loses, he’s definitely getting cut. He’s on a 4 fight losing streak, and his last W was against Artem.

Classic striker vs the grappler match-up

Thanks for the awesome analysis Goldie

 

[Thesnake101]

As soon as Kron touches Cub's neck, it's over.

 

[Area809]

Kron by massive grappling advantage.

 

[ChumpyKiwi]

Depends if Cub has learned to defend a choke... I'll be rooting for him but you never know when he faces a competent grappler

 

[Timmy Billy]

oh snap oh snap. Forget the MSG card.

 

[CieloLuce]

I wish Cub would take easier fights to get back into the win column.
I dont want to see him take another L.

Nate Diaz isn't the only one benefiting from being on the same team as Kron. I expect Kron's overall game to improve. Being the best at one thing is a good start however. What Kron does great is every bit as good as a young Olympic wrestler, maybe better because he finishes with it.
