Every time a card comes together, a guest fighter steps up to share their take on the matchups and forecast the results of each bout on the card.
For the Fight Night 11 card, Samson Bieri has agreed to break down the seven fights and share his picks for each matchup.
Bieri carries an amateur record of 3-1 and just put together a solid outing at Prestige FC 11, where he caught Jay Whitford in a second-round submission. His next fight hasn't been locked in yet, though there were chatter that he could be getting a crack at the Prestige FC amateur featherweight belt next on the docket.
Below are Bieri's picks for Fight Night 11:
Denis Puric (7-5) vs Terrion Ware (17-9): PRO Bantamweight Title Bout FIGHT PREVIEW
"It's a tough matchup either way, because both men come out swinging. Ware's been coming off a string of losses, so I figure he's going to be desperate for a finish."
Prediction: Ware wins by TKO in the third round.
Shane Campbell (17-8) vs David Jordan (7-4): PRO Lightweight Title Bout FIGHT PREVIEW
"Campbell's spent years stepping up against quality opponents, and I think that veteran know-how is going to carry the day."
Prediction: Campbell wins by submission in the second round.
Lucas Neufeld (4-1) vs Jose Johnson (10-5): PRO Featherweight FIGHT PREVIEW
"Neufeld gets to fight in front of his home crowd again, and Johnson is stepping in on short notice. You really don't want to put Neufeld on short notice."
Prediction: Neufeld wins by submission in the second round.
Josh Hill (17-3) vs Gilberto Aguilar (17-17-1): PRO Bantamweight
"Hill brings a complete skill set to the cage and is setting himself up for a solid winning run. He's already had success against some of the top fighters on the regional circuit."
Prediction: Hill wins by knockout in the second round.
Melissa Croden (0-0) vs Jolinne Dagenais (0-0): PRO Women's Bantamweight
"Two 0-0 fighters means anything can happen, but Croden's sharp striking made her unstoppable during her 5-0 amateur days. I expect her to carry that momentum straight into her pro debut."
Prediction: Croden wins by unanimous decision.
Kolton Menzak (5-5) vs Tom Theocharis (3-2): PRO Welterweight
"Theocharis has shown he's one of the most entertaining fighters on the card. His explosive striking and unpredictable style should overwhelm Menzak."
Prediction: Theocharis wins by unanimous decision.
Derek Khosa (2-0) vs Dan Kovalchuk (5-2): AMATEUR Welterweight
"I've watched Kovalchuk on more than one occasion, and every time he's gone against tough competition. That experience and toughness should carry him to victory."
Prediction: Kovalchuk wins by TKO in the second round.
