UFC 130 is less than three weeks away and it's shaping up to be an excellent card. Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard are set to meet for a third time after their last fight ended in a controversial draw. Fan Favorites Quinton Rampage Jackson and Matt Hamill will square off. And in the heavyweight division Roy Nelson and Frank Mir will battle it out, both trying to make their way to the top of the heavyweight ladder.
This is an important fight for both fighters because they need the win to stay relevant. Both have come up short against the elite of the heavyweight division (Mir against Lesnar and Carwin, Nelson against Dos Santos) and a loss here could drop them to gatekeeper status.
Many fight fans have been flummoxed trying to pick a winner in this fight, given that the two men have such similar skill sets. Let's take a look at each element of this fight individually and see if either fighter can be given a discernible advantage, overall.
