Skillswise both are top fighters and they match up well. I honestly think this fight should be the number contender fight as both guys can beat the Champ stylistically. Movsar is slept on but he is a specialist and can shout down any opponents quite easily and made Lopes look harmless. He just has that ability to negate his opponents and shout them down. He has improved his stand-up and has very quick reaction time to everything and he is a great grappler something that makes this fight interesting as Sterling himself is a great grappler hence this is gonna be a chess match.

Skillwise this is the absolute best the featherweight division can offer and also the winner of this fight is a better opponent for Topuria competitiion wise. Topuria will not run thru Movsar as his striking is good and he is good enough to take down Topuria and keep him there and I think he is just stronger then Topuria. Probably the only guy I think that can pose Topuria problems.

Sterling can also beat Topuria if he doesn´t get caught like O´malley it was honestly one in a million type of KO.. If he brings grappling heavy game plan and takes his back it could be a wrap.

OR.....they are being used to SELL the main PPV. Need to have some real fights with recognizable names in the free bit to get people hyped. Especially this card. While I think it looks like an amazing card....its likely not one that casuals have on their radar to buy.
 
Both get knocked out by Topuria, but this fight is between two surging featherweights. It should absolutely be on PPV.
 
Agreed Kron Gracie has no business being on a main card
