Below are Foxton's picks for BFL 72:
Dejan Kajic (13-7-2) vs. Saeid Mirzaei (3-0-1): PRO 175 Pound Title Bout
"Experience is going to be huge here. Kajic should handle the early pressure, keep his cool, and come away with the decision."
Prediction: Kajic wins via decision.
Serhiy Sidey (6-1) vs. Austin Russell (3-0): PRO Bantamweight Title Bout SIDEY PREVIEW, RUSSELL PREVIEW
"Sidey's looking to extend his unbeaten run. I expect him to pull it off."
Prediction: Sidey wins by TKO in round two.
Nicolas Ouellet (2-0) vs. Mateo Vogel (5-2): PRO Featherweight Title Bout OUELLET PREVIEW, VOGEL PREVIEW
"Vogel enters this one highly prepared, hungry to bounce back. He also holds an edge in experience."
Prediction: Vogel wins by submission in round three.
Josh Kwiatkowski (5-4) vs. Ryan Rohovich (4-4): PRO Featherweight
"Should be a fun one for the crowd. I like Kwiatkowski to pull off the win."
Prediction: Kwiatkowski wins via TKO in round three.
Mitch Strazzella (1-0) vs. Matt Hovorka (1-2): PRO Bantamweight
"This should be a wild matchup. In the end though, Strazzella's more refined striking gives him the edge to close it out."
Outlook: Strazzella takes the fight on the scorecards.
Alana Cook (1-0) vs. Maria Demers (0-1): PRO Women's Bantamweight
"Demers is another fighter chasing her first victory, and I'm backing her to pull it off."
Outlook: Demers secures a first-round submission victory.
Oguzhan Yalcin (1-0) vs. Wesley Bowman (0-2): PRO Bantamweight
"Yalcin should control the grappling exchanges again, take the fight out of Bowman's hands, and put on a dominant display."
Outlook: Yalcin claims a second-round submission win.
Tylor Nicholson (1-5) vs. Nate Ledger (0-4): PRO 130 pounds
"Ledger will be coming into this bout with serious motivation to finally break through and earn that first career victory."
Outlook: Ledger earns a decision victory.
Flint Radatzke (1-4) vs. Logan Thompson (1-0): AMATEUR 150 pounds
"Radatzke brings a considerable experience advantage, though Thompson turned heads during his amateur debut earlier this season."
Outlook: Thompson goes the distance for a decision win.
Melvin Panganiban (1-0) vs. Sheldon Nicodemus (0-0): AMATEUR 150 pounds
"Nicodemus is stepping into the cage for the first time and remains somewhat unpredictable. Meanwhile, Panganiban just knocked out his opponent in the opening round of his own debut, making him the clear favorite."
Outlook: Panganiban stops Nicodemus via TKO in the second round.
Marcus Coward (0-0) vs. Cannon Tass (0-0): AMATEUR Middleweight
"Both competitors are making their amateur debuts, so without any prior footage or track record to go on, this one could easily go either way."
Outlook: Coward edges out Tass on the judges' scorecards.
