Cruickshank hits a wall here.

Two guys who like to throw down but I'm taking the grittier dirtier type of fighter that is Masvidal over the flashier more polished Cruickshank

Cruickshank definitely has the momentum on his side here. He will make this his third impressive victory in a row. I see this ending via liver kick.

It's a weird matchup and tough for me to call mostly because Cruickshank can pull a KO from his ass out of nowhere.

Prediction: correct Masvidal correct Decision

Don't think Masvidal will get caught sleeping on flashy **** and his chin is crazy-good. His all-around striking game (footwork, head movement, precision) is too good for Cruickshank, imo.

Masvidal for a solid UD or even late TKO.

Though if Cruickshank does win this one, I'll finally admit he's a good fighter, I have a very high opinion of Masvidal and beating him ain't no joke.

As much as Cruckshank surprised me in the past, I think Masvidal is too much for him.

Prediction: wrong Cruickshank wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 2

I think Cruickshank will win the striking battle, and it will not take long time for Masvidal too look for the TD. I think Masvidal will avoid the striking game and grind out Daron on the mat for three rounds.

When that is said, I hope Daron gets another impressive KO, and as said above a liver kick or another headkick. This man got talent and this fight will shoot him up the ranks. Especially with a finish.

Picking Masvidal, but have a feeling Cruickshank could be breaking new ground in his game. He's got some serious momentum and confidence.
