That's an interesting fight. Thiago hits pretty fucking hard.
I heart cock
Look for Gustaffson's line to skyrocket into "gay" territory.

I think Thiago's edge is on the ground there. He will get picked apart with Gustaff's range IMO. Silva is an underrated grappler.

But by the same token we've seen guys with better takedowns get stuffed by Gustaffson.

Gustaffson just uses distance very well, which sort of counteracts that bulldozing style of takedown Thiago likes to employ. Alex will be content to circle around the outside and snipe, and then blitz if he has the guy hurt. Silva is going to have to get inside to get a takedown, and I'm just not sure he can do it.

Agreed. Also, Thiago has excellent sweeps and control, but he is not a strong submission finisher. Gustaffson can probably survive. I am just thinking about Silva vs. Machida.
