Derek Brunson (-187) Islam Makhachev (-117) - (+185)
Breakdown
Uriah Hall vs Derek Brunson
Brunson usually fights a smart fight and has the wrestling to ground Hall to stop him from mounting any offense. Brunson is also the better athlete and is very explosive. Brunson by TKO
Islam Makhachev vs Chris Wade
I see Makhachev control and overall grappling being too much for Wade. Islam's take downs are more varied and more powerful so I think his grappling Wade can't deal with.

Breakdown
Michael Johnson vs Dustin Poirier
Poirier is more slicker with his grappling than Johnson and I also believe his gas tank will be a big factor as Johnson tends to fade in fights. Poirier also has the slicker striking with speed. Poirier by decision.
