Bantamweight Bout: Jason Reinhardt vs Edwin Figueroa
Pass
Lightweight Bout: Jacob Volkmann vs Danny Castillo
I’ve got Volkmann here.
Lightweight Bout: Cole Miller vs T.J. O’Brien
Cole Miller is favored quite heavily. I don’t know if this as much as a guarantee as the odds makers say. I think O’Brien could possibly have value here.
Featherweight bout: Alex Caceres vs Jimy Hettes
Pass
Light Heavyweight Bout: Karlos Vemola vs Ronny Markes
Pass
Middleweight Bout: Kyle Noke vs Ed Herman
I’ve got Ed Herman here. More experience in the cage against tougher competition. He is not favored in this fight.
Bantamweight Bout: Joseph Benavidez vs Eddie Wineland
Benavidez is unstoppable. Of course Wineland always has the punchers chance though with his crisp boxing. I think Benavidez grinds out a decision.
Middleweight Bout: C.B. Dollaway vs Jared Hamman
Hamman is always a tough grinder, but Dollaway has learned how to finish fights. I lean towards Dollaway here as the more aggressive fighter to win a decision.
Main Card
Welterweight Bout: Amir Sadollah vs Duane Ludwig
This should be an awesome fight. I’ll go with Duane Bang Ludwig here.
Lightweight Bout: Charles Oliveira vs Donald Cerrone
Oliveira is that rising star, but he was recently, knee barred by Jim Miller and DQ’d after messing up Nik Lentz badly. Oliveira has all the tools to beat many fighters. Cerrone should put on an entertaining fight. Oliveira is favored in this bout, but I think Cerrone is excellent value here and picking him.
Lightweight Bout: Jim Miller vs Ben Henderson
A great match, but I think Jim Miller is quicker. Miller has also increased his overall octagon control which I think is the reason he has dominated so much in his recent fights. I think Jim Miller will win on points.
Welterweight Bout: Dan Hardy vs Chris Lytle
Hardy has proved to be difficult to finish and Hardy has recently been KTFO by Carlos Condit which was a pretty awesome KO. There is a lot of hype that Hardy is fighting for his job here. I think it will be a solid fight, Lytle carries power, but swings so wildly that it will allow Hardy to connect more than he has in his recent fights. However, I think Lytle will pull this off via a submission.
