Ebersole easily.

Preliminary card (televised)
Light Heavyweight bout: Matt Hamill vs Alexander Gustafsson
I’ve got Gustafsson winning this one.
Featherweight bout: Chad Mendes vs Rani Yahya
Chad Mendes will do enough to avoid the submission from Yahya. Yahya’s leg kicks output will be the deciding factor if he is going to beat Mendes though.
Preliminary card (Facebook)
Bantamweight bout: Ivan Menjivar vs Nick Pace
Menjivar
Welterweight bout: Johny Hendricks vs Mike Pierce
Could easily be fight of the night contender. Both fighters are always entertaining. Pierce always puts on an excellent show and is underrated imo. Hendricks is known for his excellent wrestling and power punching. Hendricks is the likely winner here, but I’m going with Pierce.
Featherweight bout: Mike Brown vs Nam Phan
Brown via TKO.
Middleweight bout: Rafael Natal vs Paul Bradley
Natal.
