    Will probably come down to that.

    Great fight if it stays standing though.

    Should be a fun time with the kicks. The only thing I don't like about this match-up is that it will stall one of the fighter's momentum.

    Will love or hate it.
    I don't wanna see the Bull get taken down over and over.

    Would love to see new Makdessi against motivated Penn should he actually lose though.

    I'll take the Ayraab in this one. Makdessi has good TDD. Should be a very exciting fight.

    Striking is pretty even, but Cruickshank has a much better wrestling/grappling game and a longer reach.
