Name and grappling advantage

Kurt has fought the better comp and is the better wrestler. But he likes to stand and bang... and that may be his downfall here. I am on Patrick at +145. It may get better.

that's how i felt, thanks for the input guys.

His back problems were partly the reason why he stood and striked more after the Josh Neer fight. Assuming he's now recovered (which was the reason he semi-retired in first place) he may start using more wrestling again

Location, too. New Jersey fight card.

This is more a factor in boxing, than MMA. But Kurt will have the crowd support.

Certainly helped Miller against Bocek!

Long layoff and fighting a dynamite striker. I like Friere.

I do think his smaller brother will have smashed him.
