For BFL 60, Cole Smith has volunteered to break down all 11 MMA fights on the card and share his predictions.

Smith is 6-0 as a pro and sits among the elite bantamweights in Canada, making noise toward a UFC call-up. He picked up his latest victory at BFL 59, where he retained his bantamweight championship by tapping Ty Wilson inside the opening stanza.

Below are Smith's picks for BFL 60:

Achilles Estremadura (3-0) vs Lee Gaudet (5-6): Lightweight Title Bout** FIGHT PREVIEW

"Estremadura is a serious athlete. You're going to struggle to take him down and his striking game is sharp."

Prediction: Estremadura finishes it with a knockout in round two.

Caio Machado (1-1-1) vs Dalton Duperreault (0-0): FIGHT PREVIEW

"Duperreault brings heavy hands. He was 5-0 on the amateur circuit, with three of those victories coming via first-round knockouts."

Prediction: Duperreault wins by knockout in the second round.

Ali Wasuk (0-0) vs Kirk Tse (0-0)

"Tse made some smart moves by switching camps ahead of this matchup. That could really come into play."

Prediction: Tse wins by unanimous decision.

Tylor Nicholson (0-3) vs Louie Grover (1-4)

"These two both need a win badly. Nicholson trains out of Titan MMA, a solid gym, and I expect that to be the deciding factor."

Prediction: Nicholson wins by submission in the second round.

Marlan Hall (9-3) vs Casey O'Leary (4-3): Amateur Featherweight Title Bout** FIGHT PREVIEW

"I expect O'Leary to show up fully prepared and tough to put away, but Hall's well-rounded skill set gives him the edge."

Prediction: Hall wins by split decision.
