Very cool, I like this fight a lot. Vemola's beat down of Petruzelli was very memorable, and I always like to see Bonnar fight.

I think Bonnar is gonna get smashed in this one.Karlos was a beast at HW,but then he dropped, and killed Seth. This fight is gonna be a slobber knocker.

Horrible match-up for Bonnar. Give the fans someone who will stand with him. Karlos is just gonna go for the takedown in like 2.3 seconds.

this should be a good fight. I can totally see bonnar taking a huge whooping then getting a sub off the bottom. Vemola has lots of power but seems to get careless and almost got subbed by seth.. bonnar i think take take a beating and come out on top

Jesus, this is a nightmare for Bonnar. I'll be rooting for him, but this is not good at all.

I got my money on Bonnar. The dude is solid anywhere the fight goes, especially on his feet which is where Vemola is pretty sloppy and wild. Bonnar is tough as nails, too, hes not going to turn away from shots and quit like Petruzelli did. Plus Bonnar has fought his whole career at 205, and Vemola has never made it outside of like 3 minutes at 205.
^ I also wouldn't be surprised to see Bonnar get the sub. Prolly after vemola tires, he'll take the back on a failed shot, and get the choke.

Vermola's a badass m-effer and a beefy LHW with some sick wrestling and a huge upside, but I really wonder if he'll be able to hold Bonnar down and smash him long enough without getting subbed. Obviously Bonnar has good standup and submissions, but he hasn't had to fight a beast of a wrestler like this in a while and if Vermola can close the gap, I wonder if Bonnar can be bullied.
I'd have preferred Bonnar vs. Vera or maybe Diabate or Gustafsson and really don't care too much for this matchup, and honestly, it can kinda go either way.
