Prediction: correct Rountree Jr.   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

so this is obviously a striker vs grappler type fight where both fighters are heavily outgunned in their weaknesses. i like them both, i just feel like khalil has a higher ceiling because of his power and i think he can continue to improve his tdd. again, not very confident though.

Prediction: wrong Craig   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

I am not all that impressed by Khalil Rountree so I go with the man with the best nickname to shock and submit him early. Bearjew by armbar in Round 1.

Rountree is a -250 irl betting favorite but he's 22% favored here, hmmm.

Craig's a good bet at +180 if you're confident.

I was thinking about picking Craig due to that.

I would 100% bet on Craig. I pick everybody over Khalil if they have the slightest bit of knowledge on the ground.

Should be a great fight but I am going to go with Craig. As powerful as khalil is with his striking I think that Craigs grappling will be too much for Khalil and if it goes to the ground thats Craigs bread and butter. If khalil gets some space then watch out. Great fight

Craig looked like crap last time I saw him fight. Of course Rountree loses some very winnable fights due to a pathetic ground game.

And he looked good in the fight before that. Khalil, in contrast, looked like complete garbage in the two fights he had before his last fight. Craig is a decent grappler, and Khalil has no ground game and terrible cardio. I think Craig is good enough on his feet to survive the first few minutes of the fight and take it to the ground, and as long as he does, he'll win this fight.

Not that impressed with Rountree. I expect Craig to pull off the submission.

Khalil looks like possibly the worst ground fighter in the UFC.

I like Craig but his striking defence is poor and his ability to get the fight to the ground is equally weak. If he could wrestle he might win, but he can't so he won't. Though Khalil's mental game is certainly inferior.

Great performance by Khalil, hope he's been working on fixing his ground game.
