I'm going with Linares too. Although wouldn't mind if Mitchell won. Second week in a row where two of my favourite fighters are squaring off. I just don't think Mitchell has it at this level.Comment

I don't think Linares is levels above MItchell but he can hit and Mitchell isn't the best at taking a solid shot. I'm picking Linares by stoppage.Comment
