I love seen undefeated fighters fight each other.  It makes lower-card fights more interesting.

I may regret this, but I'm going with the athletic striker over the D1 wrestler.

I've got Jacoby - in brief and brutal fashion.

After which Starks will go down to 170 if he has even one-quarter of a brain.

Prediction: wrong Jacoby   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Jacoby has really good striking with a pretty good takedown defense. Starks seems pretty one-dimensional from what I've seen. Plus I don't really like Lay 'n' Pray fighters, and from what I've seen of Starks, he likes to get his opponents to the ground and hold them there. I'm going with Jacoby on this one. Might be a more hopeful pick than anything.

I'm picking Starks simply because he headlined a Sharkfights card like a week or two ago. (Makes for less big show jitters)

Prediction: wrong Jacoby   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Starks is coming in on just a week's notice, compared to 1 month notice for Jacoby. I don't like the look of that. I also like how Jacoby has only been fighting professionally for a year. Moving up the ranks and into the UFC that fast is a good sign.

I haven't seen either guy fight before. I'll go with the guy from the better gym I guess.

Starks fought just two weeks ago and won a decision. Is that enough time for him to recover? I don't think so.
