#2 John Lineker vs Marlon Vera

UFC Fight Night: Weidman v Gastelum
Dangerous underdog: Marlon 'Chito' Vera

Two of the most exciting bantamweights in the UFC will duke it out looking to move into a contender’s position in the 135lb division.

Lineker’s punch power is well documented, but he’s still to pick up a legitimate victory at bantamweight (his lone win after moving up came after missing weight against John Dodson).

Vera is on a tear, following wins over Ning Guangjou (decision), Brad Pickett (knockout) and Brian Kelleher (submission) and is in his best form since joining the UFC.

This one should be an absolute cracker, and a sleeper pick for Fight of the Night honours. It could finish quickly, or it could descend into a three-round, back-and-forth war.

But however it goes, you won’t want to take your eyes off this fight.
