Cage Fight Pick 'Em: Tiger vs Jordan
vs
By far the most evenly matched and difficult to call fight we've had so far this week. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. Two beastly physical specimens. Hands-down the most talented players of their respective sports in the history of the world. This fight would probably signal the apocalypse. But we'll analyze it anyway.
Tiger: If given the use of a weapon, Tiger wins this fight 10 out of 10 times. His 6-iron would easily beat out Jordan's wooden bat from his time in the majors. But anyway, time to really think about this one. Tiger lacks the height on MJ. But I'm thinking he might have a strength advantage. Tiger's a real big guy. And another thing to note -- Tiger has experience when it comes to the elements of a cage fight. In the past year, he's worked his ground game and has experience on bottom as well as on top. He has even executed side control a few times. If this fight goes to the mat, Jordan better watch out.
Jordan: MJ's seen better days. He's up into the 40's and he is far from peak physical condition. But he played in the NBA. And thus he has a size advantage. He's a big guy. And he's got a much better reach. He is battle tested. The most clutch performer we've ever seen. But there are some things you need to understand. Jordan won't get "star treatment" from a UFC referee. He can never be bailed out by a call. He'll have to rely on his raw talent. But he has a damn lot of it. And Jordan has always been focused and hasn't been dealing with a severe mid-life crisis for the past year. The mental side of the fight cannot be forgotten.
X-Factor: The key to this fight will be whether or not Tiger Woods can get his head straight after his recent problems. He came back to the Masters and turned in a nice tournament. But since then, he's been faltering again. Not the same old Tiger. Does Jordan see Old Tiger or New Tiger? Unfortunately for the guy who "sinks putts and nails sluts," it's probably going to be the New Tiger.
The Decision: The fight goes to a decision, but Jordan wins a unanimous 30-27 fight. Lands a ton of punches but cannot completely finish Tiger.
What do the fans think? Vote 1 for Tiger would beat Jordan to a pulp. Vote 5 for MJ is still the greatest to ever grace the grounds of planet earth.
