On paper this doesn't look bad. 2 undefeateds going at each other... I haven't seen Vasquez fight, but I'm going to see what I can find on him.

Just found this video of Vasquez.

He's definitely not beating Uchiyama if he thinks that he can just fight him with his hands down. He appears to have extremely leaky defense, leaves his chin out when he throws combos, and doesn't even both to put up his hands against the ropes. Not a good thing to do against Uchiyama who will just hand his right hand at will.
