This is a fight between two badly undersized middleweights, with Mcgee being the TUF 11 champion and currently 2-0 in the UFC, and Yang currently 1-1 in the UFC.

This is a tough fight to predict as either fighter might look to keep it standing, or either fighter might look to take it to the ground.
The case for Mcgee is that his wrestling, striking, and jiujitsu have looked solid in most of his fights, as he easily took Kris Mccray to the ground who has otherwise manhandled his opponents. The case against Mcgee is that he was dominated in the first round of his last fight with Ryan Jensen, who is not considered to be a particularly good fighter.
Dongi Yang showed relentless takedown abilities against Chris Camozzi, and brutal top control and ground and pound against Rob Kimmons. However, his technical wrestling ability and his striking ability have not been demonstrated. He certainly throws with a lot of power, but his striking is very stiff.
Yang can theoretically win a standup fight, and if he gets Mcgee down, things could get very ugly. With that said, the Mccray fight is what sticks out for me. The Court Mcgee vs Dongi Yang prediction is that Court Mcgee controls the fight standing early, and ultimately takes Yang down and submits him.
Conclusion: With Court Mcgee at -180, I feel there is still a bit of value, and a small to medium sized bet is warranted.
