The card might not boast the most star-studded lineup, but there's no shortage of compelling stylistic clashes to anticipate. Below you'll find the forecasts from the MMA Empire team alongside our featured guest analyst for the five bouts comprising the main card.

This week's guest picker is Maria Djukic (1-0), a Canadian women's bantamweight prospect. Following a flawless amateur record, Djukic carried that momentum into her professional debut at BTC 10 last June. Expect her to keep ascending the rankings heading into next year.
