Hard fight to pick bc Garza has been great, but I think Poirier has more power in the stand-up.

Porier...because he has more explosiveness to avoid the subs Garza throws at him

going for Poirier in this one, pretty impressed with how relaxed he seems in the cage, especially when he fought Grispi

Garza's been awesome lately, but he was having a bit of trouble with Jabouin before the flying triangle. I think Poirier can stay out of any subs from Garza, I see a decision win for Poirier.

Prediction: wrong Garza   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

I think Garza shocks Poirier with a slick submission late in the 1st round or in the beginning of the 2nd round.  Poirier is a tough guy, and has been impressive lately, so if this goes the distance I think he pulls off the decision victory.  I'm counting on Garza to catch a surprise submission though.  He's so tall, lanky, flexible, and aggressive with his ground game.  I think that will spell trouble.

Also Poirier always comes in with a game plan that he executes very well

The majority is going with Poirier, but I'm not going to count Garza out.
