Here's my take on this one. This fight comes down to BJ's gas tank. Rory isn't going to outclass BJ in anything other than cardio. BJ can stop Rory in round 1 if things go his way. Rory isn't going to stop BJ until round 3, and that's only if BJ isn't able to maintain his technique due to running out of energy.
I know I know, call me captain obvious. Personal note, I love watching both of these guys compete. BJ is one of my top 3 all-time favorites. He's the epitome of a warrior, a true samurai spirit. Rory, well, if he keeps it up I'll be able to say the same things about him 5-10 years from now.
