[Arkridge]

I like this matchup, makes a lot of sense. Who do you think wins?

I'm goin with Beneil "the LW Mousasi" Dariush.

 

[Thesnake101]

Leaning towards Rashid due to his ability to exploit his reach advantage very well, he's pretty good on the feet and isn't bad on the ground either.

 

[shaffmeister]

Gotta roll with Dariush on this one

 

[Spycho]

Rashid is going to get wrecked.

Great matchup. I want Magomedov to win because Benny starched James Vick. Winner may land in the top 10. 11 vs 15.

Who would you like to see the winner up against?

 

[Arkridge]

Another guy deserving of a top 15 fight is Francisco Trinaldo.

The winner of Poirier vs Johnson, I'm thinking. The winner of both of those fights shouldn't be for a title shot yet, there are too many title shots and immediate contenders at that division. RDA and Barboza may be a win away from a shot, and Khabib has that shot now. With Cowboy and Pettis and Diaz out of the division probably at least until the end of the year, that's about everyone that's left besides Chiesa, right? I know Chiesa has a back injury but he said he could be back in a few months.

I wouldn't mind that. I do like the idea of Barboza fighting Poirier if he beats Johnson though, especially now that we have RDA/Tony and Khabib getting the title shot. Not sure how long Chiesa is going to be out but I'd like to see him against Brooks providing he beats Oliviera of course. Now if Johnson beats Poirier than I'd be even more for him taking on the winner of this fight.
