I like MJ in this one. He's got great footwork and has only been beat by much superior grapplers. He covers distance exceptionally well and he's got a surging coach & camp for striker-wrestlers (Henri Hooft at Blackzilians). He's been off for about a year due to a domestic charge. As opposed to an injury, he was able to train hard. He's also super powerful in the counter.

My line jumped back up to -155 this morning. Leaning Barboza in this one. What ontheo said is correct, MJ has great footwork and striking. The same could be said for Barboza as well. At this point, I think Barboza is just a little bit more well rounded and cleaner in putting together combinations, not to mention his body kicks and leg kicks. I think you'll see Barboza try and use those kicks early to try and limit Johnson's mobility.

Vitor is the obvious answer, but the lesser known guy I really like down there is Gilbert Burns.

Thatch's loss did hurt quite a bite. Onto the next one.
Line screams Barboza money. Hometown crowd, big MJ layoff, domestic issues for MJ. I think a lot of people will be surprised with MJ and his footwork. He's always sticking and moving with the right jab and that'll be the difference Saturday night. Give me MJ by unanimous decision.
