DA UN JUNG VS SAM ALVEY LOWDOWN
Da Un Jung (13-2) flies to Fight Island while flying on a 12-fight win streak. The South Korean arrived to the UFC with question marks about whether he can transfer his performances in the regional scene to the upper echelon of the UFC and so far he has passed with flying colours. He met Khadis Ibragimov who was unbeaten at the time for his debut and guillotined him in the third round and now he is coming off a ruthless knockout over Mike Rodriguez back in December.
He now has a UFC veteran to get past in the form of Sam Alvey (33-14(1)). He walks out for his 19th UFC fight, but he is on a lonely four-fight skid. After starching Marcin Prachnio and outpointing Gian Villante, Alvey got knocked out by Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Jimmy Crute before losing close decisions to Klidson Abreu and Ryan Spann.

DA UN JUNG VS SAM ALVEY PREDICTION
Alvey has all the experience but the pressure is on him to prevent losing five in a row which could be terminal to his UFC career. Unfortunately for him this is not a great match-up either.
Alvey will stand and trade with anyone but Jung is durable and has serious power in his hands. We are all aware of the power Alvey possesses in his hands but if he decides to exchange with Jung, it will not pretty.
Alvey needs to keep moving and mix things up to try and set up a knockout blow as Jung is lethal at close range. He is also extremely dangerous on the floor with heavy ground-and-pound with a submission threat.
Alvey will make it difficult for the South Korean but the odds are stacked against him here.
Prediction: Jung via KO/TKO
