Ryan Benoit is a well-rounded MMA fighter

Benoit possesses the skills to make it big in the sport of MMA, should he keep his composure and work ethic on point.

He’s likely to control the pace of this matchup as well as decide whether this fight takes place on the feet or the mat. Look for Benoit to take a decision win against Mokhtarian.

Prediction: Ryan Benoit def. Ashkan Mokhtarian via Decision


#2 Will Brooks vs Nik Lentz

Will Brooks has been on a disappointing run in the UFC thus far. For a man who was being touted by many as a top-5 talent, Brooks has faced considerable problems when faced with high-calibre UFC opposition.

Regardless, Brooks is a much better fighter than Lentz, and when that Octagon door slams shut, that will indeed become more than evident. Look for Brooks to control the rhythm of the fight, outpointing Lentz on the feet, with both fighters even-steven in the grappling department.

Prediction: Will Brooks def. Nik Lentz via Decision


#3 Anthony Hamilton vs Adam Wieczorek

Hamilton is likely to run over Wieczorek.

Hamilton may have iffy striking defence but he hits like a freight train and is a fantastic athlete. Look for Hamilton to blitz Wieczorek out of this bout early and violently.

Prediction: Anthony Hamilton vs Adam Wieczorek via KO


#4 Damien Brown vs Frank Camacho

Brown is a vastly underrated grappler, and although he could most definitely finish this fight on the feet, his opponent is crafty as well.

That in turn, may avoid Brown from getting that Submission finish. However, Brown is the more technical fighter of the two, and likely to out-strike and out-grapple his foe on fight night.

Prediction: Damien Brown def. Frank Camacho via Decision
