Prediction: correct Moraga   wrong Decision  

Cariaso is extremely well rounded and I expect him to use his speed to outstrike Moraga and stuff his takedowns to win a decision.

This is a tough fight to call... Chris looks so much better at this weight... but I know what you mean @bman... I'm still on the fence.

Prediction: wrong Cariaso   wrong Decision  

Cariaso is legit. I haven't seen too much of Moraga other than his debut against Useless but that finishing sequence looked downright nasty. It'll be interesting to see how far Moraga can go in the divison but I'll go with the more established - and very talented - Cariaso.

Prediction: wrong Cariaso   wrong Decision  

Moraga will probably be one of the better flyweights but right now I think Cariaso will take this one by a close decision.

Prediction: wrong Cariaso   wrong Decision  

Moraga looked like a killer in his last fight, so it's tough to pick against him. Cariaso though, is one of my favorite up and comers in MMA, I've been on his bandwagon since he almost beat Mayday, he is so technical on the feet and the ground. This fight is so great...

The winner should get a contender fight, its a shame its on such a stacked card because it really should be a main card bout. The UFC needs to do better with hyping the FLW division

I wouldn't say that. Cariaso is no joke. Even at 135, when he was considerably smaller than everyone, he did well for himself.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Moraga won, but I'm going with the experience factor with Cariaso.
