Prediction: correct Elkins   correct Decision  

Elkins I think has fought a better range of talent he should be able to get a decision win over Siler.

Prediction: wrong Siler   wrong Decision  

I didn't expect Siler to beat Miller, I figured that Miller was too experienced and too good all round for Siler to beat him, but he proved me wrong and that really impressed me. And then in his next fight he went out and finished a nice prospect in Joey Gambino in the first round. He's young, he has massive potential and has quite a bit of experience with 30 pro bouts under his belts.
It's still a little hard to forget the image of Brandao beating the snot out of him on TUF, but nontheless I see Siler winning his 4th straight inside  the Octagon.

Prediction: wrong Siler   wrong Decision  

This fight comes down to whether Siler can stifle Elkin's wrestling. I believe Siler will fight at a distance being the much better striker and be able to stifle Elkin's TDs for at least 2 rounds, but either way this should be a very interesting match up.

Prediction: wrong Siler   wrong Decision  

Siler is a top prospect at 145 and Elkins game is pretty much only wrestling. I think think Siler will be able to stuff the takedowns of Elkins and take advantage of Elkins' weak standup.

I wanted to pick siler. But can't stop thinking about how much better elkins is at his discipline than siler is at his. Frankly, siler and his hype train will get derailed.

Siler stuffs takedowns all day and picks Elkins apart, maybe even an early sub.

one of the harder picks on the card, because neither fighter is remarkable or stands out in any way... im picking the elk via close (maybe split) decision.

I have a feeling this is gonna be a great fight! Going with Elkins, but Siler could easily pull this one out!
