    this is holloways ufc profile where he claims he is a white belt in jiu jitsu. That probably means we can rule out him going for the sub but I was just watching his fight with Pat Schilling(college wrestler). He was able to stuff his takedowns so far(still watching the first round). Holloway has been training straight mma since 2007 when he was in high school. If this is a standup fight then Lawrence should have a big edge IMO given the fact that he has 150 amateur kickboxing fights + numerous striking titles. I'm going to watch a few more videos.

    This is Holloway versus Schilling if anyone wants to watch: http://fightnext.com/video/54RHBW85X...-TUF-15-Finale

    Well we don't know if Holloway will be the more active striker.

Won four or five fights. Went pro and did alrit on the ultimate fighter. He fought a d1 wrestler for three rounds and did alright according to sherdog play by play. They gave him all three rounds up until the knockout in the third. He trains at blackhouse. Holloway isnt that great. As far as i know his steiking is his greatest asset. I read he is a white belt in bjj. I think lawrence handls him.
    if Lawrence cant take Holloway down (i think it wont be easy for him to do so), it will be a striking match with Holloway being a more active striker and Lawrence having bigger power. Holloway seems to have a good chin though and he has longer reach. He can win a decision if he can keep the fight standing.

    Maybe not butcher but he has the clear advantage.

    Rory MacDonald is out of 152, per Dana. Huge cut in training on his forehead. No replacement for BJ yet.

    Yeah, I'm just not too sure about this fight. I imagine Bisping is going to win by being more technical and having a pretty damn good chin, but I could see anything happening here.
