Jason Saggo vs. Josh Shockley

In the first fight at UFC 174 will face debuting in the organization and strongly anonymous Canadian Jason Saggo (9-1, 0-0 UFC) with American Josh Shockley (11-2, 0-0 UFC).

Typing a duel of two novices in the Octagon is a difficult task. Apparently Shockley has more experience on the big stage, training in a better club, and will have the advantage of physical conditions, but I have a feeling, however, that Soggo have at this stage of his career, better cuts - both kickboxing and grapplingowe. For this fight Ronson showed that it has a good condition. 8 of 9 fights won by submission, and only two losses were the result of reciting Shockley, so ...
