Dalton Rosta, TKO, R3
The Rock is more active than Dalton Rosta so his mindset coming into this fight might be a bit more switched on than Rosta; however I still see Rosta dictating this fight in terms of speed, volume and level changes. If Rosta uses his movement and feints he will be able to get an opportunity to land that KO.
Mikhailov vs. Shutt
Nikita Mikhailov, DEC
Nikita has some great cardio and offense off his back. Most of his wins are by decision even though he has some good striking and submission offense. He is vulnerable to takedowns but has some insane reversals so I don't see him getting controlled here. Blaine Shutt has been very inconsistent and his path to victory is a submission which isn't going to be easily available against Nikita. This one goes all the way with Nikita getting the DEC.
Brennan vs. Lugo
Ben Lugo, DEC
Lucas has remains undefeated but I think he takes his first loss here. Definitely has the ability to end the fight with a submission but Lugo isn't one to be easily submitted because of his bottom game and own submission offense. Lost a majority decision in his last fight but came close to knocking out Nathan Levy who is 4-0 at the time. Ben Lugo to win this one by decision. My only concern is that he hasn't fought in over a year and he is the older fighter.
Parrish vs. Cauley
Ben Parrish, SUB, R2
Backing the underdog here. Sully is a kickboxer that has some serious KO power and an aggressive fighting style. Ben throws a little too much and can leave himself open to strikes and takedowns. This can be dangerous for him because Cully has some insane G&P to finish the fight. Overall I think Ben has more experience and tools to end the fight. Might see him get a submission.

Careful guys

I could see upsets from Ben Parish, Duane Johnson, Saad Awad, Darrion Caldwell, Homasi and Aiden Lee.
In fact I am betting Aiden Lee and Darrion Caldwell. Though Barzola on juice is an interesting prospect!
My only confident picks here are Moldavsky, Mamedov and Mikhailov.
Brenan is almost certain to win but unbettable.
My advice, save your money for the upcoming UFC card, lots of good spots there!

Ryan Bader, DEC
I could end up regretting this but I do not like the way Valentin moves. He looks so awkward and he's just there to be hit. He moves very sluggish and swings a little too wild for me to pick him here. Could be wrong, but here we go.
Caldwell vs. Barzola
Darrion Caldwell, DEC
Not 100% on this. Caldwell takes him down and controls him to a decision, ideally. On top of the time out for Enrique and his tendency to give up takedowns fairly early, I don't like this for him.
Rosta vs. Johnson
Dalton Rosta, DEC
Don't see how Rosta loses this
