@Wolf I'm not that convinced he will win but I like to take an underdog on a card some times and this is the one I am going with on this card

I see what wolf is saying but only 2 of Bones' opponents that he faced before he entered the UFC currently have winning records! Same with Khabib Nurmagomedov as far as beating guys that no one has heard of! Kuiper may have faced "nobodies" but getting to 11-0 with 10 finishes takes alot of talent......He also fought 7 times in 2009......Won 7 with 6 finishes

I like Kuiper's chances in this fight. I watched a few fights on youtube and a interview in dutch. He is a Judo black belt and trains with alot of dutch Kickbox and Muay Thai guys. In one fight he showed very good TDD and he has some good stand up aswell so I hope he wins this, but it is a big step up in competition so I wouldn't be surprised if Natal can get the sub somehow.

I'm glad I didn't get on the hype train on this one. Kuiper looked good enough to warrant a second chance, and I'm still not sold on Natal as any sort of contender, but he's a good gatekeeper.
