4. Vinicius Magalhaes Vs Matt Hammil
The two Ultimate Fighter alumni both picked up wins at UFC 152. In the prelims Season 8 finalist Vinny Magalhaes displayed his elite level jiu jitsu skills as he submitted Igor Pokrajac. Magalhaes has worked to improve his all round MMA game away from the UFC but question marks do remain over his ability to take punishment. A match against Hammil who made his name in TUF Season 3 could answer that question. Hammils performance in beating Roger Hollett on the main card of UFC 152 was far from inspiring and the faux-retirement which saw him away from the Octagon for little more than a year cannot be used as an excuse. A stylistically awkward test against Magalhaes would offer him the perfect opportunity to rebound and make a statement.
