Oh I hope so too. It would be depressing to watch Askren grind out Lawler.

Askren decisioning anyone is depressing fare really. He's basically like chael sonnen except not as interesting. Would rather watch a tortoise **** a sandal.

John Lineker vs Dom Cruz is the greatest clash of styles in the history of Prize-Fighting and will undoubtedly be fight of the year if not the century. Duran vs Leonard all over again. 

Unstoppable force vs the Untouchable object. 
Linear vs Lateral. 
Power vs Precision. 
Nomad vs a Native. 
A savage vs a Nobleman. 
Trenches vs the Blitzkrieg

The original saying is sure...I have a brain so I create my own. Besides, calling a fighter who utilizes movement and footwork more than any other the "unmoveable object" doesn't make any sense.

Cruz should win by decision pretty easily IMO. Lineker throws bricks but he's very scooty and flat-footed, not like Grabrandt. Doubt Cruz hurts Lineker at all though.

Easily? lmfao Assuming Cruz makes it healthy and his plantar fasciitis doesn't act up again, he'll be in for the fight of his life. A hungry plotter beats a mover all the time. Duran vs Leonard I for example.

I dunno. I agree with you on the injury thing but when I think about that fight, I just see Cruz tiip-tapping him and Lineker beating up a lot of air TBH.
