Both dudes in their respective primes (whenever you imagine that to be) at Welterweight.

A thread with this subject was discussed, but that was two years ago prior to Ben's UFC run. I'm wondering if the benefit of hindsight changes anything in the equation, for better or worse. It's an interesting match-up in my opinion; both are famed for having strong amateur wrestling bases that they later infused with healthy amounts of BJJ. They're also both known for having a dominant top game... and poor striking. On top of that, they've trained together in the past.
