And it is a style that will favor Maldonado. The 27-year-old Dutch fighter brings in a style that will appease the Brazilian crowd for this fight. Stringer won his UFC in March with a split decision over Francimar Barroso. Now he returns to the proper division against a proper opponent.

The durable Brazilian had won three straight fights in the light heavyweight division, and then he stepped up on short notice to fight top-five heavyweight Stipe Miocic. Records: Fabio Maldonado (21-7), Hans Stringer (22-5) Jorgensen's struggles against above average competition cannot be ignored. This is just a difficult fight to pick, but I lean toward Reis. His wrestling and power may be able to stifle Reis. Jorgensen may not want to utilize his wrestling against Reis, a jiu-jitsu world champion. In spite of coming off a win, Jorgensen may still have his back pressed against the wall. It will be very interesting to see which fight we get. This fight is a clash of styles, but also between two fighters who can throw out their gameplans and swing away. Reis dropped to flyweight and looked solid in his decision win over Joby Sanchez. Jorgensen finally got back in the win column against Danny Martinez in June to break a three fight losing skid, but he is right back into a bout against a top level fighter.

Records: Scott Jorgensen (15-9), Wilson Reis (18-5) This fight could easily go 15 minutes in a back-and-forth affair, but I think Fili can catch Arantes to put him back on the path as one of the top prospects at 145-pounds. The matchup will be a fantastic opener to the Fox Sports 1 prelims. This could be a chance for Fili to add to his highlight reel, but Arantes holds good power in his hands as well. A 3-2-1 UFC record is curious considering he holds wins over the likes of Godofredo Pepey and Maximo Blanco, but faltered against Kevin Souza and drew with Milton Vieira. He has never won or loss consecutive fights. The young featherweight showed all the promise and more in his TKO win over Jeremy Larsen, but took a step back when Max Holloway dispatched of him at UFC 172.Īrantes' UFC tenure has been up and down.
