UFC Breakdown: Fight Night Zagreb - Rothwell vs Dos Santos

Rothwell is awkward as hell but though as nails. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he won. That being said I got JDS to win.
 
I can't help but imagine Bisping's KO face on Dos Santo's left ear. That shoop left a mark on me.
 
If JDS chin has declined to much after the substantial amount of punishment he's taken in the last few years, it might only take one Rothwell flurry to put him down?

But "the balance" of the matchup, however, favors JDS skill sets. If JDS keeps Rothwell on the end of long, straight punches and overcomes a few difficult moments to take a decision.
I mean Rothwell is also mostly a striker, though of a drastically different kind.
JDS is still faster and more athletic, the quickness of JDS allows him to get in and out behind a sharp jab and vicious straight right that he mixes up to the body and head, but Rothwell has pretty high fight-iq, and it doesn't take genius-level movement to stay away from JDS.
Rothwell is bigger, and have the durable advantage and the most diverse MMA-game.

Would've went for jds but now that his chin has deteriored so much it's hard to say since if Rothwell connects it's over
 
Interesting stuff.
 
Hardy had interesting explanations and demonstrations about how the fight could propably go between them.
More important fight for JDS then Ben . Im guessing JDS wins if he remember how he was fighting before Cain defeated him for the first time.
