Roller is going to be to strong and too powerful for Johnson. LnP I expect.

Prediction: correct Johnson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I dislike Shane Roller very much. A KOTN is the best I could hope for!

Prediction: wrong Roller   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Statistically, a striker (Roller) vs grappler (Johnson) match up. I'm expecting this to be a quick affair for Roller. Stat breakdown at: http://www.breakdownfights.com/?p=2819

Really? You classify an all-american wrestler as a striker? Interesting.

Prediction: wrong Roller   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Yeah I saw that. Why though? The KO on Tavares? It's his only KO win since his pre WEC days. Roller started out 3-1, then went to the WEC and finally UFC. Since joining the WEC, Roller is 7-4 with 5 wins by sub, 1 decision, and Tavares while having 2 losses each by sub and KO. How does that make for a "striker". especially when he has better wrestling and ground credentials than Johnson. Hell, if anyone is going to win this fight standing, that's where I'd give the edge to Johnson.

I think he just mixed the words up. As his pick is Roller by submission.

I expect Johnson to be gone after this fight. I'll be very surprised if he pulls this out.

I can see Johnson dominating round one, then gassing and getting taken down in 2 and 3. Roller may be able to pull off a sub. Not sure. Still probably going to pick Mike Johnson though.

just because johnson is a wrestler doesnt mean he cant get the KO i think johnson has good standup but i think he can control the fight in both areas.

I am not sure why anyone would dislike Roller?  Unless you are an OU fan possibly?  Well, I am an OU fan and I love watching Roller fight!  He is going to take this fight with relative ease.  I am interested in MJ's confidence in his stand-up abilities in his interview.  Roller doesn't lay-n-pray either, he finishes fights, another reason I like him.

I will give props to MJ's vocal cords, he sounds like lil wayne.

I just find Roller hard to pick after his last couple performances they were kind of dissapointing. Michael Johnson is an athletic guy and he has fast hands as well as a wrestling backdown.

I think Johnson dominates the first round, then gasses. I hope he wins though.

Roller is a tough dude. But I think Johnson is taking this one. I wont be shocked if Johnson gets the KO neither.
