Eliot Marshall vs. Vinny Magalhaes

This is a battle of two Team Mir members from TUF8. They both have great submission skills. However Vinny Magalhaes is the superior grappler, which means Eliot Marshall will want to keep this standing. Luckily for him, he’s probably the better striker. However ground-fighters like to use what they know best.

If Eliot is smart he’ll keep things standing for as long as possible. When this fight does wind up on the mat it’s Vinny’s to win. Given that it’s unlikely for Eliot to score an early KO ala Ryan Bader, Vinny will come out the winner.
