Prediction: wrong Cruickshank wrong Decision

I'm not totally sold on either guy to be honest, but for now I am thinking Cruickshank by decision.

Prediction: wrong Cruickshank wrong Decision

Even though Cruickshank has very good striking, I think Makdessi is on another level when it comes to the technical aspect. However, I think the difference maker in my opinion will be Cruickshank's ability to mix in his strikes with his takedowns well. He should be able to make Makdessi hesitate when he throws sytrikes which will throw off his striking game. Cruickshank via UD.

Prediction: wrong Cruickshank wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

Hopefully the Detroit superstar can prove his last fight wasn't a one off thing. Why is it that lately, the sooner a guy gets beaten on tuf, the better he does in the UFC?

Cruikshank is such a badass name. Can qualify as a fighters nickname.

Badass fight. Wow. I think Cruickshank beats Makdessi rather handily.

Makdessi needs to work on some takedown defense. Did pretty well against Stout though.

The Bro is a better striker than Daron Cruickshank in my opinion, so I think this is an easy pick.

Prediction: correct Makdessi wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 2

Cruikshank is an exciting fighter, but he tends to get a little wild and leaves his chin exposed at times. Makdessi is very technical and showcased it against Stout. I want Cruickshank to win but I honestly think he is going to get caught. But who knows we will have to see.

Makdessi is so erratic. Never know which one is going to show up. Spinning back fist Makdessi or the Makdessi that fought Hallman and looked like a fish out of water on the ground.

Chuickshank could probably grind Makdessi if he wanted but I doubt he will, I see him keeping it standing where even tho he's a great striker he's very hittable. Makdessi via UD

Daron Cruickshank for the D. In honor of my first college roommate, Mike Cruickshank, who covered for me when the dorm RA smelled my ganja.

Hometown judging sometimes....Daron might get screwed if this is a close fight.
