Dominick Reyes, DEC
Honestly, I believe Reyes is Jan's kryptonite. A nice long sniper that has decent skills on the ground. Reyes has some experience going 5 rounds ala 247, but he was gassed by the half of round 4. Still he was able to stuff takedowns from Bones. Now, Jan is a slow fighter. He is known for sleeper matches, especially his fight against aging middleweight Souza. He's somewhat well rounded, but his best skills are his fists. I believe that we are going to see it all. Takedowns, ground work, and elite striking displays from both ends. Either Reyes outpoints him, or ko's him in championship rounds. I will go by decision just to be safe
Kara-France vs. Royval
Kai Kara-France, DEC
I feel like KKF has the overall advantage, I will go by decision
