UFC 157, which is set for Saturday, Feb. 23, is one of the promotion’s most highly anticipated events in recent memory. It marks the first time that a female—other than an Octagon Girl—will set foot inside the Octagon, let alone fight for a UFC title.
However, the main event is not the only reason there is a buzz around UFC 157. The card features a handful of intriguing lead-in matches, perhaps none more interesting than a heavyweight clash between Brendan Schaub and Lavar Johnson.
The two heavy-hitters will battle it out as part of the UFC 157 pay-per-view card.
In preparation of the action, we’re going to examine the matchup to determine who has the advantage where, and which of the two is likely to exit the Octagon with a W.
