Prediction: correct Sass correct Submission correct Round 1

all of johnson losses except one are by submission. he is fighting a submission expert. sass FTW. all of sass's wins except one have come by submission. i believer that adds up to a win by sass over johnson by submission.

Sass should take this.

Jason Young is a much better technical standup fighter then Johnson and guess how his fight with Sass went?

Saas should some major weaknesses in the only fight I saw him compete in the UFC. Great subs; however I think he will get dominated by Johnson. If this guy can work on his stand-up he will have a lot of potential imo. Still too early to tell for me. I will look forward to this fight to make a fair assessment. I pick Johnson KO

4 of 5 of Johnson's losses have been by submission and at least 2 by choke which is what Sass does best!

Johnson was schooling Brookins until he gassed, not sure if Sass survives like Brookins did.

Prediction: wrong Johnson wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

Difficult one to pick, Sass has such a good offensive guard,

Pretty much banking on Johnson stopping Sass' guard pulls and hitting Sass with big shots for an early stop.

Either way i don't see this going out of the 1st round seeing that Johnson isn't to keen on defending subs.

Johnson has good wrestling and striking. Sass has good submissions, but weak standup. I think Johnson will be able to dictate where this fight is and do some damage on the feet.

Was pretty impressed with Sass in his last fight. I think it's just a matter of time before the fight hits the mat and Sass puts on a ground clinic.

Johnson should want to keep this standing because Sass is a beast off his back and often pulls guard. I'm excited at the grappling we could see but Johnson shouldn't be dumb and hit him with 1-2's and 1-2-3's all day long.

As long as Johnson avoids the submission attempts after taking Sass down, he should be able to GnP him out.

Maybe Sass isn't all that... way too early to tell... but worth noting that 4 of Johnson's 5 losses have been via submission. Seems like a pretty clear achilles heel, if Sass is able to get his hands on it.
