Fight Nights are always a rough call. They often hold new talent or veterans trying to break onto that next level with a big win which makes the match ups that much harder. When you look at the newer fighters their records are often unproven and their fight history such that you haven't really seen everything they have to offer. The veterans on these cards often have great resumes but dotted with inconsistency and losses, albeit usually to high caliber opponents.
These are the best picks I could make when pitting potential against performance.
Kurt Pellegrino is always on the verge of being a contender but for him it all comes down to execution. He has the tools to beat Emerson and should do so.
Danzig vs Neer should be high paced. I don't think Danzig will be able to finish Neer who will probably frustrate his opponent and earn a nod.
Stephens has a tough fight taking on Lauzon on short notice. Joe comes out fast and hard and will likely take it to the ground where his jitz and ground and pound will earn him a stoppage.
