#5 Guido Cannetti vs. Marlon Vera

Cannetti's recent run in the UFC has been anything but impressive. His inconsistency was put on display when he lost two out of her four UFC fights. Having to submit to Kyung Ho Kang really hurt his chances, but since then he has bounced back with a win over Diego Rivas via Unanimous Decision earlier this year in May.

The confidence from the win should help to tide him over when he faced Marlon Vera at UFC Argentina. Vera has had a long career in the UFC by now and has established a trend of losing critical fights. He lost his debut, and then on the back of a three-fight winning run lost to John Linekar.

His last win against Wuliji Buren gave him some momentum heading into this fight.

Brazilian fighter Cezar Ferreira is on a sort of a streak heading into UFC Argentina, as he has won the last two fights he was in impressively. He defeated Karl Roberson at UFC 224 via an arm triangle choke and will be looking to build on it to make his streak more impressive.

On the other side of things, Heinisch has suffered only a single loss in his 12-fight career. With a three-fight winning streak. He impressed in his last fight which took place on Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series.

A win for Heinisch will help establish him in the UFC.
