10 Things To Watch For During UFC On FOX 12

1. Jorge Masvidal vs. Daron Cruickshank Is A Must-Watch Caliber Fight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwK9UpuGNcE I've always been a huge proponent of Jorge Masvidal. While he's been inconsistent through some parts of his career, he's so well-rounded and technically sound. You rarely see him put himself in a bad position on the feet. What has hindered him is being too conservative at times. He's always had excellent boxing, yet gets caught in wild scrambles on the ground. In his victory over Pat Healy, he was in complete control yet somehow made it look difficult. Daron Cruickshank is a blue-chip prospect, who has massive upside. He's a bit undersized for this division, but his striking is starting to put everyone on notice. His impressive head kick knockout of Erik Koch showcased his versatility. The jury is still out on his overall wrestling and grappling capabilities. Masvidal has greatly improved in both departments over the past few years. It wouldn't surprise me to see Masvidal test him there, as the fight wears on. Still you can expect a stand-up battle through lengthy portions during this fight. These are two technically sound strikers, who always want to stand and trade.
