It's interesting how Maguire is the best grappler Riddle has fought by miles and miles. I think Maguire can get this fight to the ground.

Prediction: correct Riddle   correct Decision  

Riddle is much bigger and stronger plus he is a very good wrestler. Although Maguire is very good at jiu-jitsu, he showed a tendency for preferring to work for submissions from the bottom rather than trying to get back up.

Prediction: correct Riddle   correct Decision  

Riddle has improved himself with each fight I see him. Win or lose, but he's hot and cold. Maguire is very dangerous off his back, and has improved his striking. I think that Riddle has the advantage on the feet, but Maguire has the advantage on the ground. However, if Riddle's submission defense has improve greatly, then he could use his size and strength to get the fight to the ground, maintain top position, and get the UD.

A very tough fight for me to pick, but for now I'm going with Riddle by UD.

Prediction: correct Riddle   correct Decision  

Riddle impressed me in his last fight and Maguire is taking the fight on short notice and will be MUCH smaller than Riddle. 

All of this adds up to me picking Riddle to win this one.

Can't believe Riddle is the favorite. He beat Clements who isn't UFC quality imo and should have dropped three straight before that (and to Martinez who's a LW). Maguire's not much better but he'll handle Riddle easily

@dietdrpepper. I agree, the only thing I can think of is Hathaway made Maguire look pretty bad in his last fight and steered clear of his ground game for most of the fight. But let's be clear, Riddle is o where near Hathaway's skill set. I think Maguire subs Riddle.

Prediction: correct Riddle   correct Decision  

Nah I'm big on Riddle here, he has all the physical edges like height, reach and is a massive WW and also younger. Maguire should drop to LW after this.

On top of that Riddle is a good enough wrestler to keep it standing and impose his will on Maguire, who got wobbled by Damarques Johnson and rocked by Justin Edwards in the stand up.

Riddle also had longer time to prepare for this, it's a short notice fight for Maguire.

All that said he could pull a Gypsy JJ move and sub Riddle but I don't think it will happen.

Both have something to prove here. Riddle just lost his last victory due to marijuana.... (whether he should have or not is another debate). Maguire just had a ****** fight against John Hathaway. I think Riddle's on more of a roll right now, so I say he takes it.
