Fight For The Troops 2 – Matt Mitrione vs. Tim Hague Prediction

MATT MITRIONE  (-280) vs. TIM HAGUE  (+220)

Fight Overview:  Hague makes his UFC return to face formidable opponent Matt Mitrione.  Both guys have heavy hands and a willingness to let them go, so this could be a brutal contest.

Hague’s Strengths:  Hague has heavy hands, decent submissions, and is tough to put away.

Hague’s Weaknesses:  His offensive wrestling is not very good at all and he is slower and less accurate than Mitrione.

Mitrione’s Strengths:  Mitrione has decent wrestling and very effective punching with a lot of power and deceptive hand speed.

Mitrione’s Weaknesses:  He is still very new to the sport and his skillset still has a lot of rough edges.

The Verdict:  This one favors Mitrione.  Hague has a chance on the ground, but Mitrione is bigger, stronger, and a better wrestler, and should be able to keep this fight standing, where his superior power, speed, and technique should allow him to earn a T/KO victory.
