Volkmann needs to wait out 15 mins to get the W
Sass needs 1 second to see a mistake and sink in a sub

I think Volkmann will use his great TDD to keep this fight on the feet. What Volkmann needs to do is make Paul Sass stand with him. I think Paul's striking isn't very good ala his fight with MJ. (Try punching him in the nose!) As long as Volkmann will keep it standing, he has the best chance at victory. Volkmann has wins over Castillo and Escudero, not to mention losses to two top-10 fighters. Overall, Paul Sass's best chance at victory is to go for broke. I hate saying it, but Sass has got to fight with no regard for preservation. He has to get this fight to the ground, and he can't somehow "hope" that Volkmann is stupid enough to go to the ground with someone with 12 submission wins.
Volkmann wins by superior TD/TDD, striking, not staying in Sass's guard, and keeping it on the feet. (But man, am I secretly hoping he gets subbed.)

Minnesota boy is going to be in the UFC for awhile. Some say he is boring but he controls the ground game, moves positions, and strikes from the ground!

Volkman has a fair number of wins in the UFC but his opponents' skill levels are questionable.
Add that to the fact that Sass seems to have submitted nearly all of his opponents, I'm going with a slick submission of the night finish

Though if I remember right, in the Rony Torres fight (BJJ black belt) Volkmann chose to become his backpack rather than try to stay in or pass his guard and he got the boring but easy victory by finding a non-neutral position without needing to pass. If Sass can keep him off his back, standing or on the mat, and make Volkmann have to try to pass a leg to avoid a standup, he'll have nullified Volkmann's offense against strong BJJ players. But if Sass' guard is no problem for Volkmann to pass then we might as well write it down 30-27 right now. I'm hoping Sass can force a tap so I don't have to hear another Volkmann post-fight interview.
