Cochrane vs. Giagos

This is the official discussion thread for Cochrane vs. Giagos. Let's see what you've got.

This is a good of a fight that you get outside of the UFC and that's where they both should be. Both are as tough and talented as they get. With fights like this,it's extremely hard to predict an outcome. These two are both huge lightweights but Christos has both height and size advantage. He is also a few years younger but Dakota has the experience level (fought big names Varner, O'brien, Stevenson and Escudero) under control although Giagos has fought recognizable fighters also (Magakian, Tickle, Poppi) making both fighters finish percentage remarkable. Giagos lost both after dominating his opponent by not being able to control his aggression, something which seems to be fixed which also has made his boxing something to be extremely feared. Cochrane should have been in the UFC 6 fights ago but has struggled with in 2 of his last 5 outings against fighters not nearly as talented as Giagos. This is a huge fight for both men who are all but guaranteed a call from the UFC with a win, maybe even with a loss if fight turns epic. It's hard to call this one but Christos has all the tools to become a star and i believe he will prevail in the biggest test of his young career in fashion. Dakota will start off strong but Christos will find his rhythm within the first round and will out work Dakota to become the first RFA 155 Champ
