Mickey Mav is at the tail end of his career yet he is the younger fighter in this matchup. Max Griffin is a ripe 39 and honestly looks it. He is definitely slowing down and has lost a lot of pop. I expect this fight to be a sloppy back and forth war, but I do think Chiesa gets it done. By no means is he a super athlete, but I do think he will come forward, immediately slow the pace and get his wrestling going. This is sloppy, likely ends by decision and I may take a stab at Michael Chiesa +3.5 when it drops.

Michael Chiesa

Michael Chiesa is a grappler who is pretty one dimensional and has a straight forward gameplan. He comes forward, looks for takedowns and works from there. He doesn't have a versatile set of takedowns but the few that he uses, like body locks, do work well. Once on top he has solid pressure and can alternate between ground and pound and submissions. He is coming off the dominant win over an elderly Tony Ferguson

Max Griffin

Max Griffin is a powerful striker with some incredible knockouts and a total of 8 knockdowns in th UFC. He famously almost knocked Ramiz Brahimaj ear clean off his head. While he is primarily a stirker, he is also a solid grappler as well who averages almost 2 takedowns per fight. He is coming off the razor thin win over Jeremiah Wells back in February.
