Carlos Junior should have stayed at LHW, it fits his frame way better and with a small string of wins he could be in the top 10. He wil go nowhere at MW.
I think Vettori is a very very good prospect, that might one day be a real contender. Keep in mind that he's the eight youngest fighter on the whole UFC roster. If you havent seen them, definitely go check out his first fights. You'll become a believer. So... WAR MARVIN.
Although he's coming up from welterweight with only two UFC fights under his belt against a guy coming down from light heavyweight with the experience of six UFC fights + TUF. This is certainly not an easy matchup for Vettori...
BTW: Another young italian newcomer that although he lost his first fight showed A LOT of promise is Joe Gigliotti, who faces off with Bamgbose in december: http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Joe-Gigliotti-160679
Vettori looked good at welterweight, not sure why he decided to move up to 185. Shoeface is not an easy fight, but I think Vettori can get it done by TKO (or knockdown leading to a sub)
