Prediction: correct Sass   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

@thefreeman Jones used the McKenzietine, if you look at the grip it's almost identical to the way Cody McKenzie grips. I tried that grip once, it was effective but instead of applying pressure to arteries on the side of the neck, I was applying it on the trachea so when my "opponent" started making choking noises I knew I ****** something up.

Oh also, Sass wins. Volkmann's striking has one sole purpose: to transition into takedowns. And he does not want to take this to the ground.

Whereas Paul Sass is gonna be trying submissions wherever the **** he is, and he'll get one eventually.

There are very few people in the division I see beating Volkmann.
He may not be the most entertaining fighter but he's ******* good.

I am a big fan of Volkmann. I actually enjoy his sense of humor. He will pull off that Darce Choke enventually.

Volkmann's really good but I have a feeling that Sass will be spamming subs and eventually catch Volkmann with something.

I can't stand any "celeberity" that uses that staus to discuss thier politics, I couldn't care less; go vote the way you want to and ****. So, Volkmann is on a relatively short list of UFC fighters (maybe 10) I can't stand. Sass is a sub machine so he's got my favor as subs are what drew me to MMA, but I think this one goes to decision.

Sass is English so he SHOULD be susceptible to the strong wrestling of Volkmann, but I refuse to pick that guy to win.

I like Sass more though Volkmann doesnt bother me as much as he seems to bother most.  I think Volkmann will grind this out.

Volkmann and Sass, two very skilled ground fighters who will be at battle the whole fight. Sass has more of a chance of finishing Volkmann but Jacob has the skills to defend it all. Volkmann by a close fight decision.

Volkmann is slightly better on the feet, but Sass will have the height and reach advantage and is a beast on the ground. Nothing is a safer pick than Volkmann by decision, but can he really pull the grinding gameplan off for 15 minutes? I'm not so sure.
