Here's the thing: if Lauzon comes out physically and mentally like he did against a much easier opponent in Gabe Ruediger, he can pressure Sotiropoulos into making mistakes, which he can then capitalize on. Unfortunately, I think Sotiropoulos is going to be cool under the pressure Lauzon breaks, and he's got the reach and boxing skill to pepper Lauzon from a distance. His guard is also probably the best in the division, so he's going to be threatening from every position in this fight.
No matter what, I'd be shocked if this didn't earn a Fight of the Night award. I'll be rooting for Joe, but I'm sticking with my original pick.

"Lauzon always comes out really strong and fades as the fight goes on. If Sotiropoulos survives the initial assault then he can come back and win. So far when Lauzon has failed to finish he's failed to win. He took an early lead against Stout then got out pointed in rounds 2 and 3 and lost a decision. I believe Sotiropoulos is the technically better fighter and if he can survive Lauzon's aggression he will win."
Lauzon gassing is pretty much what I expected in the fight. It has happened on multiple occasions with Lauzon. He doesn't know how to pace himself in a fight. Which is always why he looks so good early. He throws everything he has into the first 3 minutes and then he's done.
