Prediction: wrong Roop   wrong Decision  

Hmm a guy that beat Hioki vs a guy that just tapped to Lamas. Roop's striking is sharper and Cub will want to keep it standing. I believe Roop takes it.

Prediction: wrong Roop   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I think Roop is a promising featherweight. Never really cared for Cub Swanson, let's hope for a knee to face ala Aldo style.

Roop is underrated. He looked good against Hioki.

Prediction: correct Swanson   wrong Decision  

I expect this to be a closer fight than the betting odds are predicting. I give Roop the edge on the feet and Swanson the edge in grappling. In the end, I think Swanson grinds him out for the decision. Stat breakdown at: http://www.breakdownfights.com/?p=2806

Swanson really hasn't looked all that great lately but i really like the guy so i am gonna pick him here.
I think if he really wants to he can win this fight.

I still think Grispi is a good fighter but Roop wont get the credit he deserves because Grispi's stock dropped hard after getting whooped by Poirier.

Hope Swanson can pull this one out. I don't know how he'll deal with the range of Roop, but I think he is the better striker, and Roop is pretty hitable.
