Heavyweight Bout: Andrei Arlovski (22-10) vs. Antonio Silva (18-5-1)
Luke Irwin: Bigfoot is going to treat Arlovski like a much thinner-chinned Fedor here. Silva via R2 TKO.
Naomi Kamornick: Antonio Silva via KO.
Lightweight Bout: Gleison Tibau (29-10) vs. Piotr Hallmann (15-2)
Luke Irwin: NOOOO! PATRON SAINT ON THE MAIN CARD! NEVER GOOD! NOOOOOOOO!! Hallmann via UD.
Naomi Kamornick: Tibau via UD.
Lightweight Bout: Efrain Escudero (22-8) vs. Leonardo Santos (12-3-1)
Luke Irwin: This is Effy’s third stint in the UFC, so everybody knows by now what he’s bringing to the table. Santos is a sneaky-good lightweight, in my opinion, and I think he has the submission chops to put Escudero away and maybe usher in his fourth stint down the road. Santos via R3 Submission.
Naomi Kamornick: Santos via SD.
Welterweight Bout: Santiago Ponzinibbio (18-2) vs. Wendell Oliveira Marques (24-7)
Luke Irwin: These two have a combined UFC record of 0-1, so regardless of their records and placement on the card, I’m not expecting big things. Marques via SD.
Naomi Kamornick: Oliveira via UD.
Bantamweight Bout: Iuri Alcantara (30-5) vs. Russell Doane (14-3)
Luke Irwin: Doane is on a decent run, but Alcantara is on about two higher planes. Alcantara via R1 Submission.
Naomi Kamornick: Alcantara via Submission.
Women’s Bantamweight Bout: Jessica Andrade (11-3) vs. Larissa Moreira Pacheco (10-0)
Luke Irwin: We’ve been waiting for Andrade to unleash hell ever since the Sexton fight, but we haven’t seen it. I think she edges by here. Andrade via SD.
Naomi Kamornick: Pacheco via Submission.
Featherweight Bout: Dashon Johnson (9-1) vs. Godofredo Castro (10-3)
Luke Irwin: I highly doubt Castro can pull another flying knee out of his ass again. Johnson via R2 TKO.
Welterweight Bout: George Sullivan (15-3) vs. Igor Araujo (25-6)
Luke Irwin: Sullivan, who sounds like a 1920s boxer, cut his teeth in Ring of Combat and CFFC. Those guys come from sturdy stock. Sullivan via R1 KO.
Lightweight Bout: Francisco Trinaldo (14-4) vs. Leandro Silva (16-1-1)
Luke Irwin: Trinaldo is a lot more battle tested. Trinaldo via UD.
Welterweight Bout: Paulo Thiago (15-7) vs. Sean Spencer (11-3)
Luke Irwin: I used to love Thiago, but he’s being kept around strictly for a cheap pop for the Brazilian crowd. Spencer via UD.
Bantamweight Bout: Johnny Bedford (19-11-1) vs. Rani Yahya (19-8)
Luke Irwin: Both guys are pretty much on equal footing, so barring another headbutt, I see Bedford being able to land some blows. Bedford via R2 TKO.
