Here we go!

Cruz v Johnson

Both fighters have wrestling background and speed to make this an exciting 5 round title fight but Cruz's striking, footwork and reach should be enough to earn him a decision. Cruz UD

Barry v Struve

Barry need to keep this fight standing while Struve need to take this to the ground, very interesting matchup. While both coming off devastating loses i think Barry will execute his game plan and finish this fight with a superman punch (I really want to see Barry do that to a 7 footer). Barry KO

Brenneman v Johnson

This could be an ugly fight if Charlie can employ the same game plan to beat Story but Rumble is too strong and his striking is very dangerous, Rumble will stuff his takedowns and force him to strike. Johnson TKO

Danzig v Wiman

Rematch. The first fight was not a convincing finish by Wiman but this wont be any different,Danzig knocked out a declining Joe Daddy while Wiman's been fighting tougher opponents and looked dominant doing so. Wiman UD

Edwards v Oliviera

Edwards simply for having the edge in striking and experience. Edwards TKO

Johnson v Sass

Sass is a dangerous submission artist and also undefeated against a strong wrestler in Johnson. I will have to go with wrestling and some serious ground n pound from Johnson, he will beat Paul's Sass. Just realized there are 3 johnsons fighting. Johnson TKO

Easton v Hougland

Both fairly well rounded fighter will alot of finishes on their record. This is a toss up. Easton Submission

Grant v Roller

This will be Grant's first fight in lightweight where he compiled a respectable 3-3 as a UFC welterweight while Roller is coming off a brutal KO loss, i think the drop will be tough on Grant. Roller UD

Neer v Wisniewski

Veterans with well rounded skills but i believe Neer has faced tougher opponents and been on the big stage where that could spell trouble for his opponent. Neer TKO

Sandoval v Watson

I always enjoy watching up and comers take the big stage for it's their chance to prove they can hang with the big dogs and just leave everything in the cage. I will go for the taller submission artist. Watson Submission
