Mirsad Bektic vs. Josh Emmett Set for UFC Sacramento on July 13th

I don't like it. Both guys are ranked #8 and #9, so there's very little effect on the division. Both guys should have to fight a prospect in the #10-#15. Yair Rodriguez should have gotten one of these guys.
 
People have been saying that since way back. He's in Erick Silva territory at this point.

Seems to me that wrestling never really cuts it at the top of featherweight. Chad Mendes probably had the best run for a wrestler but it was mostly thanks to big punches.
Frankie Edgar.
 
I have Emmett in this one. Bektic should win, but just got a funny feeling about this.
 
Bektic is better everywhere...which will make Emmett's win by another upset KO even more satisfying.
Josh will have his hometown mojo, too. It adds another gear to his raging defiance of expectations.
