5. Nick Lentz vs. Charles Oliveira
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA5PrnkWFQU Weight Class: Featherweight In a fight that could shake up the top ten of the featherweight division, we havethe talented Nick Lentz (27-6-2, 1NC), ranked eighth, taking on fourteenth ranked Charles Oliveira - who has won two straight since being defeated via Frankie Edgar at UFC 162. Oliveira is probably underrated with that number fourteen ranking in the featherweight division, but Lentz is no slouch either, and is coming off a win over Manny Gamburyan. Prior to that, he dropped a fight to current title challenger Chad Mendes. This is a bout that could go either way, but we're going to give this one to Oliveira. He's on a two fight streak as it is, and has a little more gas left in the tank. Lentz has the more experienced fighter, but is probably closer to the end of his career than the beginning, and Oliveira just might prove to be hungrier. Oliveira by decision.
