Poor Zhumagulov still can't catch a break. He was likely to have won this one. And the first fight of the night curse strikes again. Was very confident that I would finally get one right for the first fight of the card... and then .... :D

Aljamain Sterling, DEC
Aljo gets this by being the younger, bigger and more active fighter.
Muhammad vs. Burns
Gilbert Burns, TKO, R2
Durinho lands one of those overhands and Belal goes down.
Andrade vs. Yan
Jéssica Andrade, TKO, R1
Andrade taking out the rage after the Blanchfield fight.
Evloev vs. Lopes
Movsar Evloev, DEC
Davai! Can Evloev finally get a finish here?
Gracie vs. Jourdain
Kron Gracie, SUB, R1
Jourdain gets taken down at least once almost every fight. But can Kron take him down? If he does its done.
Dober vs. Frevola
Drew Dober, TKO, R1
Banger! But Dober is the slicker striker with the better chin.
Clark vs. Nzechukwu
Kennedy Nzechukwu, DEC
Kennedy can defend the wrestling and land more damage.
Williams vs. Bedoya
Khaos Williams, TKO, R1
Khaos doing Khaos!
Rodriguez vs. Jandiroba
Marina Rodriguez, DEC
Trusting Marina to be able to avoid the ground with Jandiroba and kickbox a decision or even finish her. Lets pray for a headkick or something.
Porter vs. Smith
Parker Porter, DEC
Porter can avoid the early rush from Smith and then its going to be a grind from Porter.
Aliskerov vs. Hawes
Ikram Aliskerov, TKO, R2
Even Chimaev had trouble taking Aliskerov down and we know Hawes aint no striker. And how is Hawes knee? Going with Aliskerov to finish this.
Holmes vs. Ribeiro
Claudio Ribeiro, TKO, R1
Swangin and bangin, Ribeiro getting revenge after weight issues for Ugly man.
