Prediction: correct Johnson   correct Decision  

Johnson has a very slippery style where he hops around like a damn jumping bean without really doing a whole lot of damage Dodson has an equally fast style though so this could be an interesting fight, but I don't know if Dodson really has enough experience yet to take the championship.

Dodson hasn't had the experience with top level guys yet. Don't see him winning this.

Prediction: wrong Dodson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

As of right now I like Dodson by KO. I think his power is for real, and I know his wrestling is. That said Mighty Mouse is one of the most athletic guys in the UFC, so this will be a difficult one for me to pick. I'm surprised Mighty Mouse is favored by that wide of a margin.

Prediction: correct Johnson   correct Decision  

In my opinion the speed is pretty much equal although I give Johnson as slight advantage. However, I think Johnson also has the wrestling advantage and will be able to take down Dodson whenever he wants. In my opinion that will be the key to Johnson winning.

Prediction: correct Johnson   correct Decision  

Dodson's got the KO power, MM has got the wrestling advantage ... I think speed's kinda equal, slight edge to MM.

As you all stated, MM's got more high-level experience and I think that the wrestling + the high level experience are going to eventually decide the fight. MM mainly needs to make sure he doesn't get caught and control Dodson. 

Though I do agree with @CthulhuJones, it's not such a big margin between them, I wouldn't be shocked if Dodson wins this (especially as my gut is telling me he does and is going to be crowned as the most annoying UFC champ of all time - yes yes, including Tito).

I'm just hoping that smug Dodson will get a bit flustered once he's not the fastest guy in the cage ...

Prediction: wrong Dodson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Johnson's greatest strenghts are his speed and takedown ability.  Hard to tell his speed advantage on his opponent before fight time, but I think Dodson may be able to match his speed or at least come close.

If Dodson can match the speed and stuff the takedowns, this is his fight to win.

I gotta be honest, I didn't much like Dodson when he was on TUF, but that is the coolest MMA fighter I have met. Intelligent, funny, insightful, and humble, definitely changed any notions I had about him. (Clay Guida went in the exact opposite direction).

Both of these fighters are the kind of fighters that MMA was made for, and as a fan this is a great fight, but I don't want either of them to lose. Gonna be a tough one to watch.

What is being overlooked because of MM's speed, perhaps, is the versatile strikinig of Dodson; John gets creative and that is difficult to prepare for and defend against.
