The closest fight odds wise for this Saturday - what say you?

Elkins is 6-1 since making his featherweight debut in June 2012.
 
Elkins’ is known for his wrestling, but his 10 submission attempts, which are tied with Steven Siler for the most in UFC featherweight history
 
Elkins has controlled his featherweight opponents for 29.8 percent of their cage time, the second largest proportion in divisional history behind Jimy Hettes (42.6 percent).
 
Elkins’ 593 total strikes landed are the most in UFC featherweight history. Of those strikes landed, 418 have been on the ground, the most in divisional history.
 
Jeremy Stephens is undefeated (2-0) since dropping to the UFC featherweight division last year.
 
Stephens was a power-puncher at lightweight, as his seven knockdowns landed in 155-pound competition are the third most in history.
 
Stephens' knockout of Rony Jason at 0:40 of Round 1 was the fifth fastest in UFC/WEC featherweight history and is the only knockout in UFC featherweight history to stem from a kick to the head.
 

I'm going with Stephens. Will look similar to Brandao vs Elkins except Stephens won't gas out and lose.

These stats are annoying to me. Most of Elkins sub attempts where in his one fight with Siler and are not a representation of his fighting style. I'm afraid mma is going to get too statistic based which takes away from the context of the actual fights.

Now back on topic. It's going to be either a barn burner or a boring fight IMO. I would be happy with either guy winning. Phone Post 3.0

With all sports stats can be skewed, but with mma it is even moreso. I got Stephens by ferocity.
