This seems to be a fight that a lot of people don't even know is happening, considering the lack of talk about it. I think it has the potential to be very exciting if both guys show up in prime form.
Thiago was for a long time one of the premier strikers in the WW division, building up a 7-fight win streak culminating with a failed title bid against GSP after starting with a pedestrian 2-2 record with the company. Most recently, he came away with a dominant decision win over Patrick Cote.
Zak Cummings, on the other hand, has made a name for himself by being one of the most consistent and versatile welterweights in the world, losing only to top level talent in Gunnar Nelson and Santiago Ponzinibbio. Despite that, he has never been able to put more than 2 wins together in his Octagon career, and considering that he's carrying a 2-fight win streak into his fight with Thiago, he could be his biggest enemy in the cage if he were to let such things get to him.
I know this isn't exactly one of the high profile fights of the card, but shieet, I felt like it deserved to get some love.
Some gifs of Thiago looking like a beast:
Tried to find some of Cummings, but all I got was one of him getting choked. I swear that he's a good fighter and fun to watch though, I'm not making that up.
