Arjan vs Henrique seems to be a tough fight. Arjan seems a bit unproven at this point. I'll have to research this one but my initial thought is Henrique and his ufc experience should take this.

I haven't watched Arjen fight in a while but I remember him not being too impressive but improving his striking a lot from the first fight I watched to his last I watched despite it still being mediocre.I'm probably going with Arjen because stylistically it's a great fight for him,he gets a guy with ****** striking and a wrestling base and Arjen has ****** striking and is an olympic wrestler (Canada tho).

I watched him wrestle before too,i'm pretty sure he wins stylistically and Luis' cardio is ****** now that he's a blown up LHW fighting at HW.At the end of '15 Luis fought at 200 lbs then took a short notice fight in the UFC at HW and never went back.I think he was much better at 205.

Jeremy Stephens vs. Gilbert Melendez should be a fight of the year candidate for sure and watching DJ break the record is history so that will be epic to see.

That's what I thought too about Jeremy Stephens vs Melvin Guillard and it absolutely sucked.That's literally when I said ok I have to bring down my expectations and just appreciate good fights when they happen.

Let's see Stevens had a KO win in 2011, 2013, and 2015... about one every 2 years. Well it's been just over two years since his last KO win so looks like he is due.

I'm interested to see how Gavin Tucker will do in this step up in competition. He shut Sicilia out. I think he can beat Glenn but it's not gonna be nearly as easy. Plus he'll be giving up lots of size here to. 

RDA vs Magny has potential to be a good one. RDA with a solid win is in the mix. We'll see if Magny's reach, volume and cardio will give him troubles. Good test at WW for him.

Interested to see if Pedro could be the next big thing at LHW. Gavin Tucker is fun to watch so pumped for that. Main and Co main will be fun to watch. 

Also curious how Giblert does at 145 against Jeremy, could be the fight of the night. Mcmann with a win here could be the next title contender so hoping she does well.

Stephens vs Melendez is SUCH a tough one to pick.

 

Lil Heathen is really one dimensional and is often figured out pretty easily by his opponents.

 

Yet Giblert (intended misspelling) hasnt really looked promising since Strikeforce

 

Tough one to call

McQuitter vs. Vieira

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 290 Points   |   Tied for 320th

McMann has won her last three against: Eye (1-100 UFC record, jobber), Davis (2year mothers leave, came in with lovehandles) Mazany (0 UFC wins, doubt she will get any wins). Every time she gets hurt, she looks for a way out; real quitter.

Vieira on the other hand won her first UFC win with a 2-week notice, second fight, beat the **** out of Evans-Smith and got a lot better. Now this is her third UFC fight so I'd think that she'll be even better, and doesn't yet even know how to lose.

Plenty of criticisms to make of McMann but that's pretty much factually wrong.

Absolutely bleh. 

With Johnson's potential record break and all-around awesomeness along with JDS-N'Gannou, this one was actually solid. 

Now, it's a big FOX event. Better than an FS1 card, but well below a PPV.
