Prediction: correct Taylor   wrong Decision  

Taylor's inconsistent, especially against anyone who can grapple, but I have absolutely no confidence in Ruediger at the UFC level. Even the marginal, British UFC level.

Prediction: correct Taylor   wrong Decision  

To be honest, neither of these guys are very good, but I see Taylor squeaking away with a decision by utilizing his superior standup and avoiding the majority of the takedowns throughout the duration of the fight.

This is a tough pick. I'm picking Taylor to push the pace and outlast Ruediger

Prediction: wrong Ruediger   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

The only fight on the card that doesn't really interest me. Taylor has only won two of his last seven fights and Ruediger has yet to notch a UFC win. Meh.

Prediction: correct Taylor   wrong Decision  

Neither of these guys really deserve to be in the UFC, and with the LW division as big as it is, the loser will definitely be cut. Taylor can put on a good fight, and I think he should be able to push the pace, which Lauzon showed may be the best way to beat Ruediger. The only thing keeping me from seeing this fight as a lock is Taylor's submission loss to Marcus Davis, Ruediger is alot better at BJJ than Davis. I'll stick with my pick though, I think this should be a good fight, and I think Taylor can out strike Ruediger to a decision.
