MAIN CARD (FUEL TV, 4 p.m. ET)
Stipe Miocic vs. Stefan Struve-
Although Struve has the size advantage Miocic has a big edge in punching power and he will show that here as he knocks Struve out late in round 1
Miocic via KO round 1
Dan Hardy vs. Amir Sadollah-
Amir should be able to keep his distance and stay away from the only real threat that Hardy possesses in this fight, his left hook.
Amir via Dec
Yves Jabouin vs. Brad Pickett-
This is not a fight i am that excited for but it could turn out being a great fight. Jabouin is fast and powerful and Pickett has a great chin. I think Jabouin gets the better of him but doesn't do enough to earn the KO.
Jabouin via dec
Paul Sass vs. Matt Wiman-
This is the fight i am looking forward to most on the card. Paul Sass will pull guard early int he fight and submit Wiman via Triangle in round 1
Sass via Sub round 1
John Hathaway vs. John Maguire-
Maguire is a good fighter but Hathaway is more well rounded and will do enough to earn the decision victory.
Hathaway via dec
Duane Ludwig vs. Che Mills-
This fight is a toss up in my opinion. Either one of these guys can steal the fight, I believe Mills will do that with the home crowd behind him. The best route to victory is to take ludwig down and grind out the dec. but mills will probably stand with him, so he needs to avoid the power.
Mills via Dec
PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook, 1 p.m. ET)
Kyle Kingsbury vs. Jimi Manuwa-
Manuwa is a beast!!! He is a vicious Ko Artist that has looked impressive vs competition in England. Now he has stepped up to the UFC but Kingsbury isn't exactly top caliber. I think Manuwa rocks him early and puts him away.
Manuwa via KO round 1
Akira Corassani vs. Andy Ogle-
This fight should be a good fight. I am leaning towards Ogle based off his heart. This guy proved me wrong every time i wrote him off in the reality show and i feel it will be no different here.
Ogle via Dec
Brad Tavares vs. Tom Watson-
If Watson can keep this fight on the feet he has a good chance here but Tavares has decent wrestling skills that may pose a problem. I think Watson can keep it standing long enough to do damage.
Watson via TKO round 2
DaMarques Johnson vs. Gunnar Nelson-
Once again another bad match up for johnson, Gunnar will take johnson down and from there it is only a matter of time before he locks in a submission.
Nelson via sub round 1
Robert Peralta vs. Jason Young-
Peralta should take this fight no problem.He has looked talented in his strikeforce/ufc stint whereas young has not been impressive in the slightest.
Peralta via Dec
