Good match up. Pokrajac is a tough draw for someone 0-2 in the UFC, but if Vinny can win, he proves that he was a good acquisition, in my opinion.

This fight is a toss up in my opinion.
Vinny needs to get this win or I can see the UFC walking him out as fast as they did last time.

Kind if a striker vs Grappler match, Igor is going to want to look for the KO while if Vinny can get it to the mat he's got a good shot there. I like Igors chances however.

Igor is the exact right type of opponent. He's not particularly likely to get a murderous stoppage, but he's good enough to show whether Vinny is the real deal these days.
