5 Predictions For UFC 189

3. Dennis Burmudez vs. Jeremy Stephens

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB--Pxs_S0M Weight Class: Featherweight Dennis "The Menace" Burmudez (14€“4) had one of the most impressive win streaks (7 straight wins) in the UFC prior to tangling with former title challenger Ricardo Lamas last November at UFC 180. Lamas managed to choke him out, and now Burmudez looks to prove that he's still the prospect many thought he was when he returns to face UFC journeyman Jeremy Stephens. Stephens (23€“11) has been fighting with the promotion since UFC 71, but has been essentially stuck as little more than a gatekeeper for some time, a fact that didn't change when he dropped from the talent rich lightweight division to the featherweight ranks a couple of years back: he won three straight against names he absolutely should have won against, then struggled against stiffer competition. Now he represents a ticket back to the limelight for Burmudez. Look for "The Menace" to earn a hard-fought decision that could wind up being the Fight of the Night.
