10 Unmissable UFC Fights To Watch In October

9. Deron Winn Vs. Darren Stewart

The UFC's middleweight division is a hotbed for talent these days. Even near the bottom half of the rankings, exciting fights are happening, including this tantalizing scrap between Deron Winn and Darren Stewart. Neither man is near the top of their weight class, but a victory for either of them could change all of that.

Winn is a product of the American Kickboxing Academy, the same gym that helped mould Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier and Luke Rockhold into former UFC champions. Clearly this place is a breeding ground for success and it looks like Winn is following in the footsteps of his predecessors so far.

The 30-year old is currently undefeated in his career and looked absolutely sensational in his first UFC outing, putting on an absolute show against tough veteran Eric Spicely. Even though he's talented wrestler, Winn has shown that his hands are just as dangerous.

However, if Winn decides to stand trade with his opponent, he could very well be knocked out as Darren Stewart has proven time and time again that he has brutal knockout power. While he didn't knockout Bevon Lewis in his last fight, he did show a new nook to his game, utilising his striking efficiently to beat his opponent up over three rounds convincingly. He'll need all of that in this fight against Winn.
