Some wild fights on this card.

Diego vs Pereira
Yancy vs Lando
The Dirty Bird vs D-Rod


I think Pereira's only way to win is KO in the first. I feel like if he doesn't get the finish he will gas out. And Diego will take his spirit.

I think Yancy won't be able to finish Lando in a wild ass fight!

I think Means and D-Rod both drop each other before Means gets the TKO in a back and forth fight.

And I think Bontorin will have Borg in all sorts of trouble. But won't be able to get the finish.

And I think Montana De La Rosa will have a performance of the night against Romero Borella.

I think it's a solid fight card!

I'll say you're slightly optimistic. No huge names but several well-matched fights. 7/10

After a little more homework I had to make a few alterations to final picks. Nothing major but on a close card some could go either way. There will be some good bouts early on so don't miss Prelims @!

Let's get some fights going ladies and gentlemen! Not the biggest names or biggest fights but some decent stuff regardless.  

Love the violence quotient on Means/Rodriguez, Medeiros/Vannatta and Sanchez/Pereira.

Dodson/Wood is my favorite kind of fight. The up-and-coming prospect vs the veteran. Dodson has lost lately to a who's who in the division. Is Wood that good or does Dodson show him he's got more to learn?

I think Miller vs Holtzman might be the sleeper fight on the card.

Looking forward to it all!
