Barao is on a 32-fight win streak, dating back to 2005. He has great striking power to go with a strong submission game on the ground. Dillashaw is somewhat of a surprise challenger. He is just 1-1 in his last two fights. Dillashaw is a strong wrestler that has improving stand up, but he is taking a big leap up in competition in this fight. He may hope to have Barao overlook him in order to pull off a big upset.

If Cormier is able to dictate the pacing of the fight, he is likely to get the win.
