Prediction: correct Sass   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

all of johnson losses except one are by submission.  he is fighting a submission expert. sass FTW. all of sass's wins except one have come by submission. i believer that adds up to a win by sass over johnson by submission.

Sass should take this.

Jason Young is a much better technical standup fighter then Johnson and guess how his fight with Sass went?

Prediction: wrong Johnson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Saas should some major weaknesses in the only fight I saw him compete in the UFC.  Great subs; however I think he will get dominated by Johnson.  If this guy can work on his stand-up he will have a lot of potential imo.  Still too early to tell for me.  I will look forward to this fight to make a fair assessment.  I pick Johnson KO

4 of 5 of Johnson's losses have been by submission and at least 2 by choke which is what Sass does best!

Johnson was schooling Brookins until he gassed, not sure if Sass survives like Brookins did.

Prediction: wrong Johnson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Difficult one to pick, Sass has such a good offensive guard,

Pretty much banking on Johnson stopping Sass' guard pulls and hitting Sass with big shots for an early stop. 

Either way i don't see this going out of the 1st round seeing that Johnson isn't to keen on defending subs.

Johnson has good wrestling and striking. Sass has good submissions, but weak standup. I think Johnson will be able to dictate where this fight is and do some damage on the feet.

Was pretty impressed with Sass in his last fight. I think it's just a matter of time before the fight hits the mat and Sass puts on a ground clinic.

Prediction: wrong Johnson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Johnson should want to keep this standing because Sass is a beast off his back and often pulls guard. I'm excited at the grappling we could see but Johnson shouldn't be dumb and hit him with 1-2's and 1-2-3's all day long.

As long as Johnson avoids the submission attempts after taking Sass down, he should be able to GnP him out.

Prediction: correct Sass   correct Submission   wrong Round 2  

Maybe Sass isn't all that... way too early to tell... but worth noting that 4 of Johnson's 5 losses have been via submission. Seems like a pretty clear achilles heel, if Sass is able to get his hands on it.
