T.J. Dillashaw vs. Walel Watson: This fight really comes down to one thing in my mind: how much time Watson has invested in takedown defense. If he can stuff Dillashaw’s attempts for a round or two, he can break the Team Alpha Male representative down and perhaps finish with a counter knee late. If he can’t prevent Dillashaw from taking him down, it’s going to be a long night for “The Gazelle”. That said, Walel's limbs are extremely long, and he's not exactly a submission slouch. Picking a winner here is tough; however I’m going to say Watson’s edge in experience leads him to victory. I think he knows he’s got to keep this fight vertical, and I suspect he’s invested some time working on his defensive wrestling. Walel Watson puts T.J. Dillashaw to sleep with a flying knee midway through round three.
