Division: Lightweight (155 lbs)
Fighters: Donald Cerrone #8 (22-6 v.s Edson Barboza #11 (13-1)
Many people are predicting this to be the fight of the night. People should expect this to be a bloody, barbaric striking match. Cerrone is on a mission this year; he has vowed to have six fights this year. Based on his previous two fights he is very serious. Barboza is known for his nasty kicks. Both of these guys are great strikers, however Cerrones ground game is just enough better than Barboza’s. I think Cerrone outlasts Barboza for a split decision victory. If this fight is as good as everyone is hyping it up to be. It has a chance at fight of the year.
Vegas Says: Cerrone (-130) – Barboza (-110)
Division: Women’s Bantamweight (135 lbs)
Fighters: Miesha Tate #3 (13-5) v.s. Liz Carmouche #7 (9-4)
This is a must win fight for both of these ladies. If either of them want to fight for the title belt again. Carmouche is an excellent striker, with knockout power. However she is not the same fighter that she used to be in Strikeforce. Tate is an overall much better fighter. Who has a distinct ground game advantage that Carmouche will not be able to compete with. Tate wins the fight by submission.
Vegas Says:Tate (-195) – Carmouche (+175)

Division: Heavyweight (+206 lbs)
Fighters: Travis Browne #3 (16-1-1) v.s. Fabricio Werdum #2 (17-5-1)
This fight is a coin flip that could go either way. Werdum is known for his jiu-jitsu, and for good reason. He has one of the best ground games not just in the heavyweight division, but in all of mma. However Werdum can stand with the best of them, and go blow for blow. On the other side there is Browne, who is a monster at 6-foot-7. Browne is known for his stand up game and his insane knock out power. You can be sure Browne does not want this fight to go to the ground against a world class grappler. Many people forget Browne has excellent take down defense. Browne will dictate this fight with his height and long arms keeping Werdum at bay. Browne wins by knockout winning the chance to take on Cain Velasquez for the belt.
Vegas Says: Browne (-210) – Werdum (+160)
