Prediction

Brendan Allen vs. Paul Craig: I don't see this fight being boring. Allen and Craig are dynamic grapplers happy to duke it out on the feet. The biggest mystery is how well Craig's power carries down to middleweight. Craig scored a rare TKO win against Muniz in his middleweight debut. If his power truly is more potent at 185, it could be a difference-maker between two guys who hit and get hit at an almost equal rate. Allen is the more skillful fighter. His striking is a little cleaner and his grappling is proactive. Craig's grappling is more reactionary. He's a fighter of chance. Craig often endures punishment, lulling his opponents into a false sense of security before snatching a submission off his back. He's tough and extremely precise with his preferred submission attacks. I don't suspect Allen will fall prey to such errors. It's tough to know how Craig's power will change the equation, but I'll side with the more technically sound fighter. Allen via SUB2
