Jesse Bongfeldt vs. Rafael Natal

Newcomer Jesse “Water” Bongfeldt not only has a great nickname, he’s aggressive as heck and has a submission game that flows well enough to justify his moniker. Natal lost in his UFC debut, a competitive decision to Rich Attonito.

Bongfeldt was good enough to submit T.J. Grant in an epic back-and-forth battle in the TKO organization, so the pick here is Bongfeldt by third-round submission after wearing Natal down in a fast-paced bout.
