Joseph Benavidez (-430) Rusian Magomedov (-230) - (-130)
Breakdown
Joesph Benavidez vs Dustin Ortiz
I think Benavidez is too fast and his grappling is just too good for Ortiz. Benavidez is also more diverse in his striking who can throw more power on his shots also. I have Benavidez winning by decision.
Ruslan Magomedov vs Josh Copeland
Ruslan is the much more technical and talented fighter everywhere. Ruslan has a great chin so he would really have to get caught to lose this fight. Ruslan will out strike Copeland and when a decision here.

Breakdown
Frankie Edgar vs Cub Swanson
Swanson is a excellent striker but Edgar is great at disrupting guys like him because of his wrestling. Edgar is the better fighter and I just see him out working Swanson to a decision victory because of wrestling that will throw off Swanson big time.
