One of the most intriguing storylines heading into the evening is Cody Garbrandt's debut in the flyweight division. The former bantamweight champion smashed his way to the top in the 135-pound division before hitting a major slump and going 1-4 in his last five fights.
That skid has inspired a move down to the 125-pound division, where it will be interesting to see how his skills translate against smaller opponents.
Garbrandt has always had fight-changing power, but he can be susceptible to the power punching of his opponents as well. Three of those four losses have come by way of knockout.
Welcoming him into the new division will be Kai Kara France, who has some power in his fists as well. Ten of his 22 wins have been knockouts, with the most recent coming in the first round of his fight against Rogerio Bontorin.
So with both fighters looking to score knockouts, it could come down to a question of who lands heavy hands first.
Prediction: Garbrandt via first-round TKO
