Heavyweight bout – Jon Madsen vs. Karlos Vemola – UFC 116 Preview
At the upcoming UFC 116 event in Las Vegas, Jon Madsen and Karlos Vemola will fight each other.
This fight, as it approaches, will carry a lot of hype around it. In their career, neither of these two fighters has lost a fight and they will have the opportunity to hold ground as they face off on July 3rd.
UFC betting odds favorite, Jon Madsen, will be making his UFC debut after spending all of his time in England. Vemola, to this point in his career has never let a match even go to the 2nd round up to this point in his career. He has gone 7-0 and has won those matches with three knockouts and four submissions in the first round.
Madsen to this point in his career is 5-0 and he will be taking part in the 3rd UFC match of his career. To this point as his two UFC victories have come by decision, he has not shown the same ability to win matches by knockout or submission. This being said, it may not be a bad thing that Madsen has not dominated his opponents early as he takes the mat against Vemola.
If a match goes the distance, it is unclear how Vemola will fare, as he has never been tested to this point. Madsen may hold the advantage over Vemola, if he can keep the match going to the 2nd and 3rd round, as Vemola has gone the distance before. Either way, this should be a good one as these two undefeated fighters square off at the MGM Grand.
