Both fighters are very talented, but I feel Philippou's power behind his punches will be the real deciding factor in this fight.

These are two guys in my opinion that are dark horses in the MW division. They may not be world beaters but I wouldn't take my eyes off either one.

Philippou is very underrated, but ***uda is also a very good fighter. I think the main thing in this fight is just sheer power.

Agree with MMApicker. If ***uda is able to clinch up with Philippou, and make it a grinding fight, I like ***uda. ***uda has a solid chin, and I'm not sure Philippou will be able to finish him. That being said, ***uda gets hit a little to much for my liking. Costa has big power, and repeated shots from him could put ***uda on stanky legs.

Philippou is very strong physically .. there is no way in hell ***uda is gonna take him down .. and for some reason I think he is gonna be coming out to KO Riki ***uda .. honestly I think he'll even beat Chael Sonnen or Chris weidman at this point .. the guy is a VERY strong .. I don't see him being taken down by anyone in his division .. even if he is taken down he'll pop back up quickly .. he has great TDD and good boxing and HUGE KO power .. honestly I think he is like a JDS of his division but with better cardio .. at this point I don't see anyone beating Costa Phillippou except maybe just MAYBE Chris Weidman I don't give him that much of a chance either lol

He was taken down by Catone times. Court McGee was unable to take him down, but ***uda, I believe, is a better grappler than Court. We shall see. I worry of Lactor making an appearance the later the fight drags on. Should be a good test for both fighters.

Weidman & Phillippou are from the same training camp, I'm sure Weidman knows his holes in his game. They won't end up fighting...... or at least I think

Phillippou's takedown defense is 79%. McGee landed 0 of 8 attempts.

Gonna go with the fellow Cypriot :P It's not very often I get to say that and I regret choosing McGee loads, so I'm not making the same mistake again!

No love for ***uda, or is this love for Philippou taken to a new level? On paper, this is Philippou's fight to lose, which makes this a trap fight. ***uda is hungry, and I see him pulling it off.

@James .. ***uda had a very close first round against Steve cantwell IN china town where Steve cantwell seemed to not do anything but be a punching bag from the 2nd round and onwards where he seemed really gassed out .. u think ***uda is gonna win against an opponent like Philippou in the USA ?! lol

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with the psycho-nut that is jesuseatsnubs. Riki ***uda is just not on Costa's level.
