If there was any confusion over where Dennis Bermudez ranks in the featherweight division, the surging contender validated his status as a top-10 featherweight. Not only did Bermudez continue his winning streak, which currently sits at seven in a row, but he did so in front of a national television audience. He also added a win over a well-known fighter, something that had been missing on his resume during his UFC tenure.
Bermudez thwarted Clay Guida's takedown attempts throughout the fight. He capped off his performance with a second-round submission victory, becoming only the third man in UFC history to beat Guida by submission.
After the victory, Bermudez called for a title shot in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, but he'll likely need at least one more decisive victory before that happens. Any one of the following fights would make a lot of sense for him to take in his next outing to continue his rise to the top.
