Preliminary card
Welterweight bout: Mike Pierce vs Kenny Robertson
Mike Pierce is one of the most underknown and underappreciated welterweights. I’ve got Pierce winning this.
Light Heavyweight bout: Kyle Kingsbury vs Ricardo Romero
For whatever reason, Romero seems to pull out the victories at the end of the day. I lean towards Romero here in the underdog position.
Lightweight bout: Paul Taylor vs Gabe Ruediger
Taylor should eat Ruediger up as Ruediger is rather poor on his feet, but good on the ground and Taylor is excellent on the feet and mediocre on the ground. Taylor should win this fight via decision.

Bantamweight bout: Norifumi Yamamoto vs Demetrious Johnson
Kid Yamamoto against a guy I don’t know. I go with Yamamoto everytime.
Preliminary card (Spike TV)
Featherweight bout: Chad Mendes vs Michihiro Omigawa
I know Mendes is likely to win, but you can’t write off Omigawa so easily either. Mendes is -357 to Omigawa at Intertops. With crazy skewed odds I’ll go with Omigawa.
Lightweight bout: Donald Cerrone vs Paul Kelly
This is going to be a great fight. Kelly is tough as nails, Cerrone is as well. I don’t think Cerrone has faced someone as strong as Kelly yet. I think Kelly wears em down and takes the decision.
Main card
Bantamweight bout: Miguel Torres vs Antonio Banuelos
Miguell Torres is likely to win, but I’m avoiding this due to the odds being out of bounds.
Light Heavyweight bout: Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader
This is my favorite fight on the card. I got Jon Jones winning this fight. Intertops has it -357 for Jones and +240 for Bader.
Welterweight bout: Jake Ellenberger vs Carlos Eduardo Rocha
One of the best fighters to bet on is Ellenberger. However, this fight is tricky. Rocha is a absolute jiu-jitsu ace and has a ton of leg related sub victories. I’m passing here as I think Rocha could pull off an insane upset. However, the oddsmakers look like they are thinking like me and Ellenberger is not such a large favorite in this one.
