    A much more interesting and difficult fight for Gunnar. Jorge is going to be very difficult for him to submit, and while Jorge may have the worst chin in the sport, he probably has the superior standup skills, and Gunnar isn't exactly Manhoef with his power.

    I think Gunnar takes a hard fought UD in what will mostly be a defensive ground battle. A stern test for the young prospect.

    Gunnar does have 4 TKO stoppages well 3 with one sub win by punches so it does sound like he could rock Santiago and stop him

    He's really quite talented. Just has an awful chin.

    After his second fight with Misaki, he can do whatever he wants, though. That **** was classic.

    I know he's good. Him climbing back from his release from the UFC to a top-10 middleweight was nothing short of inspirational. Capitalizing with BOTH FOTC classics with Misaki.

    But he's just going to go 0-2 (again) and be released.
