Is Arman Tsarukyan poised to climb higher in the lightweight hierarchy? Could Shavkat Rakhmonov preserve his unbeaten streak? You can check out the forecasts from the MMA Empire team alongside our guest selector below for the six bouts on the main card.
This card features Canadian lightweight contender Tyrell Giselbrecht (2-1) as our special guest picker. Following his first defeat in his pro career, Giselbrecht rebounded powerfully with a first-round submission victory at Unified MMA 45. He plans to carry that momentum forward, probably stepping back into the Unified MMA cage down the line.
