UFC 221: Rockhold vs Romero

Two superb athletes will meet at UFC 221 for the 185lb championship. I'd say 65% chance Rockhold wins, but I won't be shocked if Yoel explodes and KOs Rockhold with little warning.

Like Chael Sonnen (below) I am really excited to see them grapple -- one of the top MMA BJJ talents (Rockhold) versus a former World Champion in freestyle wrestling. Rockhold's top game is very strong -- he might be the first person ever to control and finish Romero.

Great analysis of the fight from Firas Zahabi (Georges St. Pierre's coach) and Chael Sonnen:
