Mark Hughes vs Alex Steibling (Middleweight)


The second Middleweight battle involves two newcomers to the Octagon. One name should sound familiar to MMA fans, Hughes. No, not UFC 25 vet Matt, his twin brother Mark. Mark doesn't have nearly the experience of his sibling, but you can expect some good takedown skills from Hughes. Mark will face HOOKnSHOOT veteran Alex Steibling. Steibling is an Indiana native and studies Integrated Fighting with UFC 19 & 22 veteran Jason Godsey.

MY PICK: Without having seen a lot of footage of Steibling and with Hughes winning many over on name recognition alone, I have to fall in line and give this one to Mark by submission
