9. Matt Schnell Vs. Tyson Nam - UFC On ESPN 20
It's really good to see fans paying attention to the flyweight division and all the awesome fighters competing in that weight class. Luckily for us, we've got another brilliant bout at UFC on ESPN 20 between two top 125lb contenders in Matt Schnell and Tyson Nam.
If you've seen either of them fight, you'll understand exactly why they're on this list. Both men are finishers, with most their victories coming via submission or knockout. However, the most interesting part about this particular scrap is that it's a battle between specialists on two different ends of the fight-finishing spectrum.
Schnell is a dynamic submission grappler who can tap out opponents off his back or on top. His ability to switch between submissions makes him a constant threat once the fight hits the ground. However, Nam is a brutal knockout artist who has the power to take out whoever he's fighting with one punch.
It should be extremely interesting to see how both men deal with the strengths of the man opposing them.
