The problem with this is that Lyoto's pace is slow, and Gegard will be chasing him for most of the fight. He didn't gas against Latifi, and Latifi spent most of the fight backing away and eating jabs and leg kicks. Gegard is definitely the more diverse and technical striker, and I also don't think this is a bad stylistic matchup for him, but as long as he's not getting Jewed by judges, Lyoto is borderline unbeatable at 185. A lot of people think that he'd beat Weidman. I'm not one of them, not by a long shot, but I understand why people feel that way.
Anyway, in a five round fight, it's probably a bit low, yeah.
