I figured some one will eventually exploit his long limbs but I haven't seen it happen. Lutter was close, I thought he reached full-guard at one point, but Anderson is very comfortable on his back. So far fight appears to be the most anticipated match up in my book. Two fighters with great opposing styles and strengths. Both combatants with strong chins and exciting skills with fight finishing capabilities. I like this match up because I can not confidently say that either champion will win. I actually hope this match does not end in the 1st round but goes the distance a-la Jackson-Henderson. Good article.

Anderson is my favorite fighter to watch. His grace and technique in the cage is something to behold (if anyone hasn't seen him outside of the UFC, do it please!). I found this article particularly great because I have no technical knowledge and hearing these breakdowns was very cool. Love this article. Anderson is my favorite fighter to watch.
