Garbrandt vs. Mizugaki

This is the official discussion thread for Garbrandt vs. Mizugaki. Let's see what you've got.

Can't wait.

I'll just hope that picking cody jinxes him. Mizugaki is a durable guy that can hang with the top, but unless he is relentless with forward pressure and td attempts, I think cody lands the more meaningful strikes and could finish.

It would've been nice to see Garbrandt and Mizugaki open up the PPV and have Magny/Larkin follow them up at the 2nd slot. I like Tim Means a lot and Lim vs Perry is another fun fight. I just don't like that 2 guys making their UFC debuts are on the PPV.

I know its all about the UFC trying to capitalize on their Fight Pass subscriptions, which I have, but I still think the Top 5 fights should be on the PPV. They are also having 2 Women fights on the FS1 Prelims. Seems like they would've gone with 1 on Fight Pass (Markos/Casey)  along with Lobov/Avilla and have with Ace or Means Headline FightPass. Then throw Uda/Vettori, Pennington/Phillips, Covington/Griffin and either Ace or Means Headline FS1.

I'm fully capable of watching all the fights with my FightPass Subscription that I pay for, and my Cable that I pay for and the PPV that I pay for but I'd feel a little bit better about spending my hard earned money on the PPV with the 5 best most relevant fights. 

As for the fight this has the makings of a Garbrandt Ko/Tko. He's the far better striker with more power and he's red hot now. And Mizugaki should have trouble trying to ground Cody because Cody should be able to use his wrestling in reverse to keep this standing and have his wayon the feet with Mizugaki. I realize Cody is doing the trash talk and all the other stuff to promote himself and try and jump in front of some other guys to get a Title shot but no matter how much talking or no matter how good he looks, TJ is in front of him and the winner of Lineker/Dodson I would totally assume they would be right there behind TJ. And it was kinda weird watching Cody act all tough and talk trash to Mizugaki. Mizugaki doesn't talk trash, he's very humble and it just made Cody look odd IMO.
