UFC on FX 5 is home to an intriguing lightweight scrap between brawler Jeremy Stephens and long-time veteran Yves Edwards. It is a fight that promises to give fans a real treat.
Both men are coming off losses, so they may be even more motivated to knock each other’s heads off. I guess that isn’t that much of a changeup, as they tend to do that in most of their fights anyways.
Here is the head-to-toe matchup for their fight in October.

Dennis Bermudez showed heart tonight, as well as submission ability. Bermudez, who fought Tommy Hayden, recovered from a knee to the head to choke out Hayden with a guillotine choke in the first round.
Bermudez, a veteran of The Ultimate Fighter, has proven to be a legitimately tough featherweight. He has shown that he can take punishment in his TUF entry bout with Jimmie Rivera and his absorption of a knockout knee that Hayden threw.
From here, what’s next for Dennis Bermudez? Does he earn himself a top challenge or does he continue his build up with mid-tier talent?
Diego Brandao beat him in the TUF finale, but faltered in his second fight with Darren Elkins. Bermudez, on the other hand, beat Pablo Garza and Tommy Hayden since the finale.
If it were up to me, I would give Bermudez a top-10 opponent. But seeing that he is a developmental prospect, I doubt the UFC would give The Menace” a challenge that tough.
A fight with fellow TUF competitor Steven Siler would be plausible, as he is on a tear, but also on the brink. It would be a style contrast with fight night bonus capability.
A meeting with Manny Gamburyan, a borderline top-10 guy, would make sense in the development of his career. Gamburyan is a heavy hitter with a good ground game that would really test Berbudez’s full arsenal.
He may not be elite, but he is tough. He could definitely show us some serious potential in a big fight.

One man flourished and one man floundered tonight, as Michael Kuiper downed Jared Hamman with a vicious barrage of punches to clinch his first UFC victory.
In a fight of the night contender, Kuiper and Hamman threw hands for the better of two rounds before Hamman was conquered by the Dutchman. It was a fight that pleased the fans in Denver and had MMA fans gasping for air.
What we’ll remember about this fight
The slugfest that ensued. Hamman and Kuiper left it all in the cage for UFC 150. If this fight is not the best of the night, that means the one that is better be an all-time classic.
What we learned about Kuiper
Kuiper showed tonight that he has vicious stand-up game to go with his solid judo base. We did not get to see his full MMA game in his debut against Rafael Natal, but tonight we definitely saw his full arsenal.
What we learned about Hamman
Hamman needs to learn some striking defense, because using his chin to cushion blows is not going to win him many fights. He is as tough as they come, but he is far too careless when trading punches.
What’s next for Kuiper
Kuiper had a good win, but he needs to continue developing. Maybe a fight against a recovering middleweight like Patrick Cote would be a good challenge for Kuiper.
What’s next for Hamman
Hamman will may be cut, seeing as he has lost two in a row. If not, a bout with the loser of Jake Shields-Ed Herman would be a good bout for him.

UFC 150 may host the lightweight championship of the world, but the kickoff to the main card features a featherweight bout with excitement written all over it.

UFC 150 may be an event that you are excited to see, but if you said Yushin Okami vs. Buddy Roberts is a fight you want to see, I would probably call nonsense (censored).
The fact that Okami vs. Roberts has not received much media attention is not surprising, but for a hardcore fan like me, it’s almost an insult. Watching Buddy Roberts progress through the minor leagues has been exciting for me, yet he gets no love.
Here is the breakdown of the Okami vs. Roberts fight, which may be closer than most think.
