Predict the outcome for Saturday's title fight between Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson - who wins and how?


JASON AMADI, MMATORCH COLUMNIST

I favor Dominick Cruz to style on Demetrious Johnson like he has his last few opponents. This fight will likely be similar to the Cruz-Benavidez fights where Cruz was able to use his striking and knee taps to score points and steal rounds. At this point Cruz has gone eight rounds against a fighter just like Johnson, and he's come up trumps twice. I like "The Dominator" to score the hat trick this Saturday night and put another unanimous decision victory onto his record. 


FRANK HYDEN, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR



I think Dominick Cruz takes the dominating decision. I'm not a big believer in Demetrious Johnson, and I still think Miguel Torres won their fight at UFC 130. I don't think Johnson has the skill set to beat Cruz. I expect this to be a fairly uneventful wrestling match, with Cruz coming out on top.


ANWAR PEREZ, MMATORCH COLUMNIST

Dominick Cruz will end up winning this fight via TKO in the third round.  Johnson has been impressive but Cruz is on a (pun fully intended) cruise, and Johnson will not be the one to dethrone the champion.  Cruz will be able to close out the year as the Bantamweight Champion in search of another would-be contender.


ERIC HOBAUGH, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR



In a word, Cruz. Cruz's hard-to-hit style and overall game will prove too much for Johnson. His striking will prove the difference in the fight and should end the fight in the second round with a TKO.



MATT PELKEY, MMATORCH COLUMNIST

I'll take Cruz by decision. The real wild card is how Cruz handles not being the faster fighter for the first time in forever. But in the end, Cruz's size advantage and elusiveness will help him keep the fight on the feet for the majority of the time, and that'll be the difference, as Cruz wins the stand-up battle for five rounds.
