What a card we have here! Two title fights, a five-rounder between Leon Edwards and Nate Diaz, plus two Canadians, Hakeem Dawodu and Alexis Davis, in action. The predictions from the MMA Empire team, along with our guest picker, can be found below for the five-fight main card.
Our guest picker for this event is Canadian women’s flyweight prospect Jasmine Jasudavicius (5-1). After suffering her first defeat in a controversial split decision loss to Elise Reed at CFFC 83, Jasudavicius bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Ashley Deen at CFFC 93. The victory was enough to earn her a shot on Dana White’s Contender Series where she will take on Julia Polastri on Sept. 14.
