Joaquin Buckley and Mike Malott are officially ready to throw down Saturday in Edmonton.
Both Buckley and Malott weighed in at 170.5 pounds and no one missed weight during today’s weigh-ins.
Kenai Andrews checks in with his thoughts on the main card.
MAIN CARD (8PM ET/5PM PT)
MANDEL NALLO (14-4-0) VS. NATE LANDWEHR (18-8-0)
Andrews: Nate at 38 is there for the taking, Mandel. With a nickname like “Rat Garbage,” he better win in Edmonton.
Andrews Prediction: Mandel Nallo via TKO
LOUIS JOURDAIN (9-3-0) VS. TIMOTHY CUAMBA (10-4-0)
Andrews: Jourdain is making his octagon debut coming from DWCS. Normally that gives Timmy the advantage and he could be fighting for his next deal. But Jourdain is on a roll right now, going for the Canadian upset.
Andrews Prediction: Louis Jourdain via TKO
MARC-ANDRE BARRIAULT (17-11-0) VS. KYLE DAUKAUS (17-5-0, 1NC)
Andrews: MAB has a one win in his last six fights, but is always a tough out. But people know how to beat him and Kyle will use that against him.
Andrews Prediction: Kyle Daukaus via TKO
KYLE NELSON (17-7-1) VS. CRISTIAN PEREZ (15-2-0)
Andrews: Perez is making is octagon debut and is coming from DWCS. He is on fire right now and I think he will take out the Crazy Canuck for the statement win.
Andrews Prediction: Cristian Perez via TKO
#4 ERIN BLANCHFIELD (14-2-0) VS. #6 JASMINE JASUDAVICIUS (15-4-0)
Andrews: A lot is going to depend on which JJ shows up. She’s got to use her height, reach, and home field advantages because Blancfield is a grappling road warrior almost 10 years younger. I can see both fighters winning, but going with JJ finding a way to get the tap.
Andrews Prediction: Jasmine Jasudavicius via submission
MAIN EVENT
#10 JOAQUIN BUCKLEY (21-8-0) VS. #13 MIKE MALOTT (14-2-1)
Andrews: I think the home cooking will help Malott overcome the dangerous power of Buckley. The real question to me is can he finish him. Both guys need a big win and I’m not sure Mike can produce an exclamation point.
Andrews Prediction: Mike Malott via UD
Enjoy the fights.
