Paul Sass vs. Michael Johnson at UFC on Versus 6
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
Damn I was hoping Sass would get a wrestler to choke out. He's got relatively weak TDs and his striking is pretty bad. Unfortunately I think he'll get KO'd.
Pretty gutted he's not on the UK card either when there's already 3 UK fighters that have fought there before with the UFC expected to be on it (Hathaway, Etim & Taylor). It would have been nice to see a different name there.

Sick fight, very sick fight. Johnson will want to keep this standing without a doubt.

That's an understatement. I think he has the wrestling ability to keep it standing, and that he has a huge chance of winning this fight because of it. Paul Sass may have to get his Shinya Aoki on if he wants any shot of winning this one,
because he's much more of a defensive brazilian jiujitsu practitioner
, and Michael Johnson will be well aware of that strength/weakness.

I wouldn't say Sass is defensive at all. He's pretty much as offensive as it gets. Shoot, pull guard, look for a triangle. If that's defensive, then what the hell is offensive?
Yeah Johnson will look to keep it standing and why not he is definitely a good striker and a good up and comer imo, however I dont know much about Sass apart from his first fight in the UFC and his record of course which btw is impressive but he hasnt fought the best comp by any means so should be good too see him against a good striker with a somewhat decent all round MMA game.
