What a card this is going to be from top to bottom, all capped off by the interim heavyweight title fight between Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane. 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 lightweight prospect Justin Condie (3-0). After a 1-4 amateur career, Condie took nearly three years off before making his professional debut, and has still yet to taste defeat since doing so. In his last action in the cage, Condie scored a quick knockout victory at Peak Fighting 7. Expect to see Condie back in action this fall.
