TUF 12 Finale – Stephan Bonnar vs. Igor Pokrajac Prediction

STEPHAN BONNAR vs. IGOR POKRAJAC
Fight Overview:  Two struggling Light Heavyweights go at it in an important bout for their careers.  Both of these guys have good boxing and submissions, so this should be an evenly matched fight.
Bonnar’s Strengths:  Bonnar has solid boxing and very underrated submissions.
Bonnar’s Weaknesses:  He is not very quick or mobile and he doesn’t have much in the way of punching power.
Pokrajac’s Strengths:  Pokrajac is a very dynamic striker with powerful punches and kicks, as well as an effective submission game.
Pokrajac’s Weaknesses:  His standup defense and his chin can be exploited and he is going to be at a reach disadvantage.
The Verdict:  I think the edge in this one goes to Pokrajac.  Both guys have similar skillsets, but Pokrajac has more dynamic striking and substantially more knockout power.  His ability to throw kicks, knees, and punches with fight ending power will make him too much for Bonnar to deal with, and eventually he will earn the T/KO victory.
