Tabbed for UFC Montevideo
Bandenay will take on Luiz Eduardo Garagorri at UFC Montevideo on Aug. 10, Nolan King of MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandenay will look to recollect himself after a pair of losses versus Gabriel Benitez and Austin Arnett. He receives his shot at doing so versus Uruguayan Luiz Eduardo Garagorri, who will be making his UFC debut after a flawless 11-0-0 record moving his way up the promotional ladder. Both Bandenay and Garagorri have been versatile with their style of victory, so the two should put on a good all-around show in front of Garagorri's home crowd in Uruguay's capital city.

Drops decision Saturday
Bandenay lost to Austin Arnett via unanimous decision (28-29, 27-29, 27-29) at UFC Fight Night 140 on Saturday in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
ANALYSIS
We got to see much more of Bandenay in this fight than we had in his previous two bouts but he showcased some of the same deficiencies, as he was too passive and let the aggressive Arnett take the fight to him for three rounds. Perhaps even more concerning is the fact that his gas tank failed him after Round 2, allowing Arnett to land a takedown and nearly get a finish in the final frame. Bandenay stormed onto the UFC radar with a brutal knee-strike finish of Martin Bravo in 2017 but there are legitimate concerns that his game may not be functional enough to compete at this level. He falls to 14-6 with one no contest as a result of the loss.

Depending on your perspective, that could be either a positive or negative for prospective fantasy owners.
