Esteban Ribovics, TKO, R3
Kirk is a fraud and wanna be "conor emulater" imo, he seems to have a confidence issue (he takes low level matchups vs major step down after every loss on regional scene), in his losses he tends to freeze after his opponents starts to put pressure on him (gives up usually mid way thru rd 2). His only ufc win is vs Amirkhani, where you can make a good argument that amirkhani won the fight. On the other hand Ribovics seems focused, he does get hit alot (mostly an overhand right) but he fires back right away. Ribovics doesn't accept the bottom position on ground (aka doesn't engage too much in Jijutsu) and looks to get back to his feet, doubt Kirk will present anything for him the ground which he has not seen before. Kirk does come from a good camp in fight ready. Ribovics got powerful striking (not the most technical but posses good power). I think Ribovics is a lock this week (if there are any locks in this game *cough*Damn you Guram*cough*)

Jesus Aguilar, DEC
This is a low level "card filler" fight. Aguilar is okay on the ground (when he is not letting opponents fall on him while attempting trip takedown on the wrong side), he is a guillotine specialist tho, he had tatsuro taira in a tough spot early. Striking wise there is lot be desired from him (if you did your tape study you can hear bisping going "oi baby boy, he has the shortest reach in men's ufc") so it's tough managing range for him due to his reach. Ross on the other hand is okay, only reason he is in UFC is because he was in a fire fight (where he got slept) and Daddy Dana likes that. He got smoked by klaydson early.This is a 50/50 fight, Ross can just dance around and strike for 15 mins or Aguilar takes him down and either guillotine him or manages top control for 3 rounds. Picking Aguilar coz better chin and grappling advantage. Ross not a bad underdog.
