We could be in for an absolute fire fight with this main event between Rob Font and Cody Garbrandt! In addition, we have some Canadian action as Felicia Spencer squares off with Norma Dumont. The predictions from the MMA Empire team, along with our guest picker, can be found below for the six-fight main card.

Our guest picker for this event is Canadian bantamweight prospect Terry Lemaire (5-2). After starting his professional career off 0-2, Lemaire has rattled off five straight wins, which has earned him a title shot in his next bout against Jeremy Pender on June 26 with the B2 Fighting Series bantamweight strap on the line.
