UFC Live: Cruz vs Johnson Bleacher Report MMA Staff Predictions

In the sixth edition of the UFC Live on Versus series, Dominick Cruz defends his bantamweight title against Demetrious Johnson.  This is the first time a UFC title was up for grabs on free TV since Quinton Jackson defeated Dan Henderson to unify the Pride and UFC light heavyweight belts. 

In a welterweight bout, Anthony Johnson takes on Charlie Brenneman in a bout between two high-level wrestlers, where the winner will no doubt see a big boost in the rankings at 170 pounds.  

Pat Barry takes on Stefan Struve in a rare instance where there will be a one-foot height difference between the two fighters.  This one promises to be a hard-hitting heavyweight bout. 

The final bout on the main card features two scrappy lightweights in Mac Danzig and Matt Wiman in a rematch from last year.  Both guys are looking for blood and bragging rights in this one.  

This time around, the predictions team consists of four Bleacher Report MMA Featured Columnists: Dale De Souza, Jordy McElroy, Dwight Wakabayashi and myself, John Heinis. 

Take a look inside to see who is going to walk home with the "W" on Saturday night.
