Prediction: correct Madadi   correct Submission   wrong Round 2  

Underestimating Madadi, he has a good ground game, something which Johnson has struggled with.

Reza is beastly on the ground.  I hope he's a heavy underdog so I can pout some $$ on him.

The big question is if Madadi can get Johnson down. Jury has some good wrestling from what I saw and I haven't really seen Madadi fight a guy with the level  of wrestling that Johnson has.

Prediction: correct Madadi   wrong Decision  


True, Reza fought Esquierdo (a striker) and Marcello (a bjj guy). 

He took the striker down in the 2nd round after getting lit up in the 1st, and the Marcello fight was contested on the feet and Reza lost a questionable decision. 

Basically, this fight comes down to the takedown.

Oh, and there is also the possibility of the hometown decision :)

Johnson looked terrible against jury but I think he'll be able to rebound here and win a close decision. Madadi could win this with his wrestling though.

I feel like Johnson has the superior wrestling, and if he can use that, along with his improved hands and footwork he could take this.

Then again I though he would beat Jury easily, so what do I know...

Johnson was easily taken down by Jury and his cardio was terrible as well. Blackzillians have been crumbling lately, a lot of losses... Also overseas jet lag for him. I'm going with Madadi.

Prediction: correct Madadi   correct Submission   correct Round 3  

If Madadi stays on a solid gameplan I think he has the ability to submit Johnson, he has the chin to take his strikes and a solid ground game to work a submission.

If Reza is a huge underdog here which he probably will, I look forward to making some sort of bet on him. 

His ground game is just stupid good.

yeah MJ's  tdd is terrible, but i think his striking and speed will too much for reza to handle. look for MJ to most likely out-point reza for the dec, but i would not be surprised to see a MJ win via TKO early in the fight or late.

Johnson has a great run in 2012 and impressed many people. I think Madadi won his last fight and got robbed by the judges. I just think Johnson is a better overall fighter and athlete. He's also fought and beat higher level of competition. I have a hard time seeing Madadi replicate what Miles Jury did so I have to go with Johnson. There's also rumors Madadi is not healthy coming into this fight.

Looks like they got a little heated!

This is all I think when I see Reza Madadi due to the dude just genuinely seeming to have a screw loose......
