    I tend to bet on the guy who does his thing better than the other guy, which is to say that Vinny's BJJ is better than Krys's striking. I think Vinny will submit him.

    Nice submission by Vinnie, Krystof really has 0 ground game, I thought with the training background he had his ground game would be just a little better. Vinnie had no problem just trying to pull guard, or just doing what he wanted to on the ground. I would like to see Vinnie drop down to 185 if he can, he would be real tough at 185 I think.

    Honostly with how loaded the 205 weight class is all over MMA, not just in the UFC, there isn't any of the 205ers from this season of TUF that I think will last at 205 in the fight world. They all just have way to many holes in their fight games. Bader can't stand or submit at this stage. Vinnie isn't solid on his feet. Eliot is kind of a big waste of talent, he's good on his feet and he has submission apparently, but he can't stop a takedown and he's not to good at getting a wrestler off of him. Krystof has zero ground game at all, and the rest of the 205ers were nothing special at all. If they are able to, and their body can handle it, the good ones should look to drop to 185.
