The guy impressed me in his last WEC fight anyone who hasn't seen it take a look. He showed an incredible chin, and when he finally took the fight to the ground he was very very good great BJJ. He uses his wrestling and BJJ very well together the guy has a real future. Once he gets his striking up to par he's going to be a real threat. Can't wait to see how he does in the division.

You'd imagine that Jake will get the win purely on wrestling ability, Sakara has a piss poor ground game and Jake has awesome takedowns. When you get a striker who doesn't have much of a sprawl and a grappler who has some of the best wrestling in the world, the grappler usually wins so I'm gonna go with Jake, not sure how though as I haven't seen too much in the way of his ground and pound or submission game. Frank Mir was going on quite a bit how much he had taken to the submission game but I've only seen one fight so I'll reserve judgement. If he stands with Sakara then it's lights out considering his stand up looked non existent.
