Means is taking this fight on late notice and versus someone with the good conditioning that Castillo has that could be a mistake.

Good cause I was having a hard time choosing between Castillo and Bobby Green, this one feels like an easier choice for me.

Honestly I feel like Means can deal with set backs in fights not saying Castillo can't,just seems like Means has the advantage here,I've got Means by Knockout here.

5'9" vs. 6'2" and 4 years younger... this is a tough pick. You'd think Means has been patching up his takedown defense after his last loss. 

But it's short notice and Alpha Male has been on fire.

Sometimes, being taller just means a higher center of gravity. Can be especially dangerous with a wrestler.

Castillo's chin is... wait, what chin? Means has KO power, Danny's got no chin. Pettis and Johnson knocked him out with ease. BUT Means needs to work on his TDD but you can get better at defending takedowns, but your chin never improves. It only gets worse so I gotta go with Means.

I'd really rather see Castillo fight Massaranduba and Means fight James Krause.

Agreed @ jaffacakehero, Castillo dominated the first round of that fight on top, Johnson caught him with a beautiful counter. there was nothing easy about that win.

Castillo IMO is always gonna have problems at 155, I want him to move down but I know he probably wont just cause of his size now.

He should be able to Control Means the same way Masvidal did.

Unanimous

And Castillo's wrestling is better than Masvidal's IMO. This is also a short notice fight for Means. If this was booked way in advance, I would definitely considering picking Means

This comes down to how Means will preform. If he can keep it standing and not let Castillo control him, I feel he will get a finish here.

Yeah 5 pounds is shocking, he didn't even attempt to cut for 2 hrs probably no point.

I've never picked Castillo in a fight, don't know why...so i'll go with him in this one especially considering Means weight.
