Below are Whitford's picks for Prestige FC 12:

Dan Kovalchuk (6-2) vs Mark Mosure (6-2): AMATEUR Welterweight Title Bout** FIGHT PREVIEW

"The main event features two of the best welterweights in all of Canada. It's going to be intriguing to see who comes out on top in the rematch. Both men are solid grapplers, but I'd love to see them throw some strikes before it hits the mat—I have a feeling that might happen."

Prediction: Mosure wins by TKO in the second round.

David Garcia (2-1) vs Thomas Deneve (3-0): AMATEUR Welterweight FIGHT PREVIEW

"This matchup should be entertaining. Garcia is a big welterweight with serious knockout power, and he's been busy this year. Deneve remains unbeaten so far in his career—he's got real power and durability. He hasn't stepped into the cage in over a year, but I don't believe that'll play into this one."

Prediction: Deneve wins by TKO in the second round.
