UFC Vegas 75: Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier keeps it moving on the prelims with a fight in the men's flyweight division between Carlos Hernandez and Denys Bondar. Hernandez is coming off his first loss in the UFC by first-round submission meanwhile Bondar lost his UFC debut fight and broke his arm in the process. With that said, check out our UFC odds series for our Hernandez-Bondar prediction and pick.
Carlos Hernandez (8-2) came into the UFC after getting a contract on the Contender Series and then subsequently won his debut but wasn't as lucky in his second trip to the octagon. He faced off against rising flyweight Allan Nascimento who was just too much for Hernandez in the grappling and submitted him via a standing rear-naked choke in the first round. He looks to rebound this weekend as he takes on Denys Bondar at UFC Vegas 75.
Denys Bondar (16-4) had early success against Malcolm Gordon in his UFC debut until he caught in an armbar and subsequently broke his arm in the process. This had Bondar out of commission for 14 months but he is fully healthy and ready to go to get back on track this weekend at UFC Vegas 75.
