Shoot your shot: Paul Craig or Johnny Walker

[StonedLemur]

I have zero faith in either one of these guys tbh.

Although @fortheo made a good point about Craig only losing 1 out of his last 8, so I gotta go with him here.

R3???
I can see Walker KO R1 bexause Craig is a walking punching bag, but I don't see him live 3 rounds.

I'm thinking Craig creeps to another decision but gets caught in the last minute or so

I dont have faith in him either, but he does tend to find a way to win more often than not lately. Definitely not a fight I'd bet on though.

Agreed.

He's better than Walker overall too

"Shoot your shot" is a perfect way to describe this fight. 2 of the biggest glass cannons out there.

Good fight!

I'm leaning on Walker to win this.

Walker's kryptonite is clearly his striking defence, which Craig won't take advantage of.

This could very easily look like Volk-Craig, but with an added risk factor that Walker isn't as tight, sensible, or reliable as Volk.

Paul Craig by submission after eating a bunch of damage

Craig by triangle choke!

Paul Craig has been pretty damn consistent. The guy has lost like 1 out of his past 8 fights? I think he submits Walker within two.

he's Sam Alvey in an alternate Universe were he actually wins.

Walker by KO

 

[Dorkman]

Feel like Walker clips him and takes it.

 

[NoSmilez]

Craig is a somewhat better technical fighter. He just has no physicality to implement his game. I don't think he has enough on his feet to threaten Johnny Walker either. He probably has to wait for Walker to become aggressive and try to drag the fight on the ground. Craig also has mediocre wrestling. I don't think he will be able to dictate where the fight goes.

 

[Luckyme]

Call me crazy but I'm leaning Walker. I think Paul Craig got exposed a bit in the Volkan fight. His style, while entertaining, is one dimensional and people have started to figure him out.

Walker is the better athlete, bigger, and has showed better fight IQ as of late. I still don't trust his chin but Paul Craig isn't much of a KO threat.

 

[CatsAndPot]

Craig.

Walker will do something reckless that allows Craig to get a hold of him and the tap will follow soon after

 

[Dirty Frank]

Like them both, I'd have to lean toward Craig; but it's dependent on his ability to get the fight to the ground, or get Walker so worried about the threat that he give Craig an opportunity to land a big shot on the feet.

Has Bearjew actually hurt anyone in the UFC on the feet before?
I favor and root for him, though.
Would be funny to see another goofy Johnny Walker getting KO'd in goofy faahion

Picked Walker by KO R3

Craig lost his soul after that decision slump against Volkan

Thinking Walker maybe as well. At least it won't be a decision.

Walker fights are impossible to predict, the gap between his best and worst is the biggest in the UFC.
