Joaquin Buckley and Mike Malott are officially ready to throw down Saturday in Edmonton.<\/p>\n
Both Buckley and Malott weighed in at 170.5 pounds and no one missed weight during today\u2019s weigh-ins.<\/p>\n
Kenai Andrews checks in with his thoughts on the main card.<\/p>\n
MAIN CARD (8PM ET\/5PM PT)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
MANDEL NALLO (14-4-0) VS. NATE LANDWEHR (18-8-0)<\/p>\n
Andrews: Nate at 38 is there for the taking, Mandel. With a nickname like \u201cRat Garbage,\u201d he better win in Edmonton.<\/p>\n
Andrews Prediction: Mandel Nallo via TKO<\/p>\n
LOUIS JOURDAIN (9-3-0) VS. TIMOTHY CUAMBA (10-4-0)<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Andrews Prediction: Louis Jourdain via TKO<\/p>\n
MARC-ANDRE BARRIAULT (17-11-0) VS. KYLE DAUKAUS (17-5-0, 1NC)<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Andrews Prediction: Kyle Daukaus via TKO<\/p>\n
KYLE NELSON (17-7-1) VS. CRISTIAN PEREZ (15-2-0)<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Andrews Prediction: Cristian Perez via TKO<\/p>\n
#4 ERIN BLANCHFIELD (14-2-0) VS. #6 JASMINE JASUDAVICIUS (15-4-0)<\/p>\n
Andrews: A lot is going to depend on which JJ shows up. She\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Andrews Prediction: Jasmine Jasudavicius via submission<\/p>\n
MAIN EVENT<\/p>\n
#10 JOAQUIN BUCKLEY (21-8-0) VS. #13 MIKE MALOTT (14-2-1)<\/p>\n
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\u2019m not sure Mike can produce an exclamation point.<\/p>\n
Andrews Prediction: Mike Malott via UD<\/p>\n
