You just have to respect his power. <b>Irvin (14-5) keys to victory:</b> -Work the leg kicks. McFedries is not Anderson Silva. -Make McFedries work, I think he runs low on gas. -Take the fight to the ground work McFedries over. <b>McFedries (7 -5) keys to victory:</b> I don't know, I just see Irvin beating McFedries. He has been looking really bad in his last 4 performances. Beating Eastman is not a big deal. I think he's facing a "Win or Go Home" situation. While his KO power may be exciting, his UFC record is really bad at 3 wins out of 7 fights on a 2 fight losing streak. His sole loss outside of the UFC was to Nate Quarry. That defeat was via TKO (Exhaustion). I agree, for a really one-dimensional fighter, McFedries isn’t a technical striker. You just have to respect his power.
