This is a sick fight! Both guys have KO power and technical stand up! I like Makdessi but not gonna count out Cruickshank that's for sure.

stand up lovers dream !!! i think cruickshank is the more well rounded guy, if he mixes in some takedowns then he should win.
Fucking great match up though, shame someone has to lose.
To me it just seems that the ufc are making better and better match ups and more frequently...just awesome
