Sunday marks the Versus Network’s second foray into free-TV UFC programming. Once again, rising light heavyweight superstar Jon “Bones” Jones will headline the card.

But Jones’ opponent, Vladimir “The Janitor” Matyushenko, is considered beneath him by most fight fans’ and bettors’ standards. After he dismantled Brandon Vera in his last fight and dominated Matt Hamill before getting disqualified in the bout before that one, Jones was expected to land a major fight.

Instead, he faces a seasoned vet but past-his-prime fighter in 39-year-old Matyushenko (24-4). Jones (10-1) is a massive betting favorite at sportsbetting.com, with odds at -600. Matyushenko is a major dog at +425.

After Fabricio Werdum upset Fedor Emelianenko last month, the general view is that anything is possible in mixed martial arts these days. But it’s tough to see where Matyushenko has any possible advantage.

The Janitor is a wrestler by trade but also isn’t afraid to stand and trade. He’s even being quoted saying he intends to come out aggressively against Jones in the striking game.

But most bettors will keep hammering Jones’ line at the sportsbook, because he does all the same things that Matyushenko does – and better. Jones has tremendous pound-for-pound strength on his 6’4” frame, which resembles that of an NFL wide receiver. None of his opponents – including accomplished wrestler Matt Hamill – has had an answer for Jones’ power, not to mention his creative sweeps and throws.

Jones may not come from a technical striking background but he’s a very quick learner. He’s quick and very unpredictable. The Janitor likely hasn’t faced anyone like Jones in his career and will be hard-pressed to defeat one of the sport’s most exciting and promising fighters.

Jones/Matyushenko isn’t the only interesting bout on the card for Sunday night. Mark “The Philippine Wrecking Machine” Munoz (8-1) has been an absolute monster since dropping to middleweight, going 3-0. He’s reminding fight fans and bettors of a young Tito Ortiz, using his wrestling and takedowns to set up a devastating ground and pound.

But Munoz still finds himself an underdog at +155 at sportsbetting.com against grappler Yushin “Thunder” Okami (24-5), who’s a -195 favorite. Okami, ranked among the top 10 middleweights in the world, is one of the UFC’s most experienced fighters at 185 pounds.

Okami has battled big names like Chael Sonnen, Anderson Silva, Rich Franklin, Mike Swick and Alan Belcher in his career. He lost a decision to Chael Sonnen last fall but got back in the win column via doctor stoppage against Lucio Linhares this past march.

The third big bout of the evening pits Tyson Griffin (-300) against Japanese import Takanori Gomi (+220).

Griffin (14-3) is widely considered one of the UFC’s most underrated lightweights, having beaten the likes of Clay Guida and even Urijah Faber. He’s a hybrid of kickboxing and wrestling.

Gomi (31-6, 1 NC) was long considered an elite lightweight during his career in Japan. But his UFC debut against Kenny Florian in March was a colossal failure. He looked slow in the striking game and out of shape before Florian choked him out. It’s no wonder bettors and sportsbooks want Gomi to earn back their trust.
