UFC 143

If either guy comes in as any significant kind of dog then I think he's worth a bet. I think this fight could totally go either way.

How do you see them matching up style wise?

[SPX]

I've actually always thought they were very similar fighters. They also look similar. They're basically kind of like brothers.

I imagine this will be mostly a striking affair, but if one of them comes to grapple, then I think it will be pretty even on the ground too, maybe a slight edge to Poirier.

Cock is the much better technical striker in my opinion, with better T3D.

[SPX]

The "much" better technical striker? I'm not sure that either is much better than the other in any regard.

And his T3D seems to be pretty solid, but I liked how Poirier handled himself in the grappling department against Grispi, and we just saw some submission skills out of him against Garza.

It's a pretty even fight, I think, and should be a fun one too as long as they don't just cancel each other out to the point that it's one of those boring fights were not much happens.

I said "in my opinion".

Grispi sucks. He choked out a guy that could be subbed by a grappling dummy.

It should be a good fight, I just think Cock has the edge.

Cock is the better striker but I think Poirier can stall him against the fence. Does Cock train with Pettis ? their styles are so similar. anyways, i'll be on Cock.

Alex Caceres vs. Edwin Figueroa added to UFC 143

[SPX]

They need to give Caceres someone like Shannon Guggerty and build him up a little.
