UFC 122 - Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Goran Reljic Prediction 

KRZYSZTOF SOSZYNSKI vs. GORAN RELJIC

Fight Overview:  Two skilled Light Heavyweights go at it with their jobs on the line.  Having lost two of their last three apiece, both guys need a win here for job security.

Soszynski's Strengths:  Soszynski has heavy hands, solid wrestling, and good position from top position.

Soszynski's Weaknesses:  His boxing defense is not great, and his chin is suspect.

Reljic's Strengths:  Reljic has good boxing and punching power and very good submissions.

Reljic's Weaknesses:  He has very poor wrestling.

The Verdict:  I think Soszynski's wrestling will carry the day here.  Both guys have decent striking and good submissions, but Soszynski will control when and how this fight goes to the ground, and has good ground and pound and positional control which should allow him to earn the decision victory.

 

Fight Prediction:  Krzysztof Soszynski by Unanimous Decision.
