I have to go CeeRod here. I know he has a bit of a fall from grace recently but he's losing to Andre Fili and Melk Costa, two people who would both absolutely run through Hyder Amil. Christian has a great chin, great pressure, will work in takedowns and can scrap. Of course Hyder has some power but he also has grappling holes and fades. I expect CeeRod to get better as the fight goes so he is the pick.

Christian Rodriguez

Christian Rodriguez is a slick striker with solid movement and good speed. He has decent takedown defense at 67% but has been taken down 28 times so far in the UFC. He has established himself as the prospect killer of multiple divisions. He has 6 wins in the UFC and every single one of them was over a touted UFC prospect. His losses however are to more established fighters who don't get frozen by the bright lights. He is coming off the close loss to Andre Fili where he moved forward and landed more strikes, but not as cleanly.

Hyder Amil

Hyder Amil is an aggressive striker who will walk through fire to find the pocket. He has a solid chin, solid power and sets a nice pace early. He isn't a great wrestler but he will work fights to the ground when he gets the opportunity. On the ground he will also throw heavy bombs but can give up positions. He is coming off the decision loss to Jamal Emmers where he was taken down 7 times.
