Breakdown
Renan Barao vs TJ Dillashaw
This will be the best striker Dillashaw has ever faced and I struggle to see Dillashaw be able to take down Barao and hold him there. Barao is the better striker and just all around fighter. Barao by decision.
Robbie Lawler vs Jake Ellenberger
Both fighters are gonna wanna strike on the feet and I believe Lawler is the better technical striker. Lawler is the more experienced and crafty striker and he is gonna KO his opponent.
Stake: 3%

Breakdown
Tony Ferguson vs Katsunori Kikuno
This fight is a bad match up for Kikuno and I see Ferguson easily taking this one. Ferguson is just too good with his wrestling, ground game, and striking. Ferguson by TKO.
