Will Alexa Grasso continue her push towards a title shot? Can Jonathan Martinez pick up a big victory over a legend? 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 bantamweight prospect Karim Henniene (1-0). After an impressive 5-0 amateur career, Henniene made his professional debut last month at BTC 17, taking the unanimous decision over Alex Gluzman. Once he gets a few more fights under his belt, keep an eye out for Henniene to make a push towards a big promotion.
