This is a real tough fight to pick. I'm not really sure who to pick. I know I will go back and forth on this one until the weigh-ins.

Prediction: correct Castillo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I think its all about Castillo getting the fight to the ground...Njokuani has better stand-up then "Last Call", but Danny is the better wrestler

I think Anthony will keep it standing.. b/c Danny won't take it to the ground... I just have this feeling.

I'm going to break with the Tapology community and take Castillo for the win. Having said that, I think the odds of a Castillo win are already "baked in" to the odds and I won't be wagering on either fighter: http://www.breakdownfights.com/?p=2271

Prediction: correct Castillo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Dang, Castillo is -200 and tapologists are still picking Njokuani 61/39%. I was tempted to pick the Team Alpha Male fighter, but I'm wondering if you folks know something I don't.

I'm thinking Castillo will hold his own in the standup (not get KO'd or rocked) and will be able to secure a takedown or two per round to get the UD.

Prediction: correct Castillo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Castillo already hints at what he's going to do on an interview on UFC.COM. He said he see's holes in Njokuani's style and what Castillo is good at, Njokuani is bad at..... And I know exactly what he is talking about. So knowing what Castillo's gameplan is now, I'm pretty damn confident he will win by submission or by ground dominance.... I notice once Njokuani's opponents sink a choke in he taps pretty damn quickly, so once it's solidly locked in its over.

I almost picked against Castillo in the Shamar Bailey fight.  I won't make that mistake again unless he fights a top 5 opponent.

I think this is just about a pick'em fight. Maybe slight edge to Castillo, but based on the odds, I'd take Njokuani as a very live underdog.
