Andre Fili vs. Jeremy Larsen
Kyogi Horiguchi vs. Dustin Pague

Sorry guys, had a huge write-up for the card, but lost it :(:(

Leans:

Pague, Larsen, Rio (value), Waldburger (exp.), Noons, Kaufman, Lombard, Boetsch (boetsch boner), Dodson, Gonzaga, Sanchez (value), Nelson (value), Cain

Notes:

Fili comes in 3.5 lbs overweight but does not try to make weight, forfeits 20 percent of purse. Rio is no slouch, and a massive underdog vs Ferguson off of a year layoff. Noons/Sotiropoulous both fighting for their jobs. Kaufman most well-rounded fighter in UFC women's division. Lombard looks massive for his 170 frame. How does he do it? Boetsch and Dodson look good to me. Gonzaga/Jordan gonna be a great fight. Nelson has so much value and a tough test vs Cormier. Sanchez has a lot of value at that price, but I don't think he does anything better than Melendez.

Main event: good luck predicting this. I love Cain though. More well-rounded but you cannot count out that KO power of JDS. Wow.
