Fight that will likely disappoint at UFC Vegas 31: Jeremy Stephens vs. Mateusz Gamrot
Jeremy Stephens was scheduled to fight earlier this year, but he missed out on that opportunity because of his own doing. The ever-controversial 'Lil Heathen' injured his opponent Drakkar Klose in the weigh-ins, leading to the cancelation of the fight.
At UFC Vegas 31, the cage veteran will make his first appearance after a year-long layoff. It will also mark his 34th UFC fight, which will put him in fourth place behind Andrei Arlovski, Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone, and Jim Miller.
Meanwhile, Mateusz Gamrot's UFC journey is only at the beginning stage. He previously found success as a two-division champion under the KSW banner before making his way to the most prestigious promotion in MMA.
As far as the matchup goes, this UFC Vegas 31 fight should go Gamrot's way. Although Stephens still has knockout power, he didn't exactly look great in his last fight against Calvin Kattar. At this stage, the idea of watching Stephens fight is better than actually watching him compete. With that in mind, this fight might turn out to be a disappointment.
Fight to look forward to at UFC Vegas 31: Gabriel Benitez vs. Billy Quarantillo
A fixture on the UFC roster for nearly eight years, Gabriel Benitez dropped back down to featherweight following a two-fight skid at lightweight. He will look to build on his TKO win over Justin Jaynes as he takes on a formidable opponent in Billy Quarantillo.
Quarantillo followed up his contract-winning performance on Dana White's Contender Series with three consecutive victories in the UFC. However, his eight-fight winning streak came to an end after falling on the wrong side of a unanimous decision against Gavin Tucker at UFC 256.
This should be an evenly matched clash between two well-rounded veterans. As both men have a history of putting on exciting fights, we can expect Benitez vs. Quarantillo to be a 'Fight of the Night' show-stealer.
