I like Njokuani's style so I am hoping he pulls this one off.

I think Dos Anjos' striking is good enough to stand with Njokuani until he gets it to the ground once on the ground its his fight

Dos Anjos doesnt do well against good strikers, I think Njokuani can pull off a late KO or get the decision.

Dos Anjos displayed a pretty good stand up against Gleison Tibau.. but i see this fight going quickly to the ground... and you guys do know what will happen if the fight goes to the ground, right?

@ezzy 3 of his losses in the UFC are to very strong grapplers and one is to Stephens who if I remember correctly he was beating until he got knocked out.

Njokuani's tdd looked good against Castillo, he lost the fight but it was very close. I give him the edge here but regardless of the outcome this should be fireworks...

The popular pick is RDA via choke, but I see him finishing via strikes(he may drop to slap on a choke, though)

I think Dos Anjos is going to be just a little bit better than Kjokuani here and gets the submission victory.

I hope Njokuani gets a quick finish, but I think Njo and Dos Anjos are gonna produce a 3 round war.

Prediction: wrong Njokuani   wrong Decision  

Njokuani is very underrated .. striking in my opinion Donald Cerrone and Njokuani are the top 2 strikers in the division .. Dos Anjos might be good but black dude is on a another level .. the only way I see Dos Anjos winning is him having a game plan like Danny Castillo and trying to grind this out or look for a submission but Njokuani has much improved TDD and I don`t think Dos Anjos is anywhere close to the level of Danny Castillo in terms of take down abilities .. and even Danny Castillo had a very hard time taking him down and when he did get him down he had an extremely tough time keeping him down

I see the Assassin destroying him on the feet early on and stuffing his take down attempts and getting a late 2nd round or 3 round TKO/KO stoppage if not winning a convincing decision pretty confident about this pick

can`t fking wait for this fight !! :)

Prediction: wrong Njokuani   wrong Decision  

@FresnoMMA you are delusional if u think that was actually Donald Cerrone who fought Nate Diaz .. he looked like absolute **** out there and if u've seen any of his previous fights u would know what I mean lol .. I still to this day think Donald Cerrone threw that fight and someone payed him off .. never have I seen him just stand there like a fool and do nothing .. each time he threw a leg kick he dropped nate diaz like a sack of **** yet he refused to do much at all and instead opted to get just stand there get punched in the face for the most part while doing little to no offense lol just my opinion

@jesus, that's nonsene, you can watch the fight again and if you pay attention you'll see Nate connecting Donald several times at the begining of the fight, he looked rocked, he just never recovered, he was htited 238 times WITH significant strikes, that just takes it out of you... and I think is quite obvious why he didn't went to the ground when he dropped Diaz with the leg kicks.

Thu,mb down for saying he sold the fight, taht's not cool
