Prediction: Lun is brought back from the original Contender Series where he lost to Erisson Ferreira. I haven’t been impressed with Lun but he’s got a favorable match-up in this particular adversary. Rosario is live for a takedown and submission considering that’s where Lun struggles. Saying that I don’t rate the wrestling and jiu-jitsu of Rosario high at all. On the feet, Lun has a big advantage. Neither are all that great but I don’t see Lun losing.
