Could be a fun fight..... if Nelson wins I'd like to see a big jump in opponents and see him start a title run.

Nice. A few people called for this matchup after LaFlare's win in Abu Dhabi.

If LaFlare wins this, it's a decision in a fight that's kept standing. He wants nothing to do with Gunni on the ground.

Gunnar needs to tap this guy and move up in competition!
I wonder what (who) is keeping him from fighting the elite?

Lack of activity. Laflare is on a very good run, this is a step up for Gunnar

Good step up for Gunnar. Hate to see either lose but I think Gunnar subs him

Laflare is damn good. But I don't think he's on the same level of Gunnar.
Gunnar is destroying guys. I think he is easily in the top 10. But he needs to fight better competition to prove it. Looking at current rankings on ufc.com, I have him beating 6 of the top 10.

Gunnar is destroying guys....that people expect him to destroy. Now he is getting a fight where is opponent has a much her chance of winning than Gunnar's previous competition. Also, Laflare has racked up more wins in just one year in the UFC than Gunnar has in his almost 2 years in the UFC, so again the lack of activity clearly explains why Gunnar is not where people think he can be with another win.
