Can Calvin Kattar halt Giga Chikadze’s rise? Can Dakota Bush spoil the much-anticipated debut of Viacheslav Borshchev? 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 middleweight prospect Ali Charkie (1-1). After having difficulty finding a willing opponent to make his professional debut against, Charkie finally did so in impressive fashion at Unified MMA 40, taking a unanimous decision over Lorenzo Celis. Charkie will be back in action again at Unified MMA 43 where he takes on Phil Engeroff.
