Also if Jones wins tomorrow he will then hold the new record for the highest number of successful title defenses at LHW with 6 defenses.

My predictions for tonight
Nurmagomedov SUB
Philippou DEC
Mitrione KO
Barao DEC
Gustafsson TKO
Jones will probably win but I do think Gustafsson could be the one to finally beat him.

Not the greatest of cards, but I'll watch. Jones in 3, is about as much as I'm sure of.

I'm taking Gustafsson in a Round 2 KO. I just don't think Jones can beat him in a stand-up fight like Gustafsson is so good at. If it goes to the ground he has a chance, but then again, the challenger isn't bad on the ground either.
Taking Barao in Unanimous Decision but I don't think that's going to be too impressive.
Schaub KOs Mitrione in Round 1.
Healy gets a SUB upset in Round 3.
Costa wins by split decision.

First main card fight about start.
Prelims were hit and miss as the first fight of the event made me doze off and I just woke up before it ended.

Well Matt Hugues would be proud of the way how Nurmagomedov slammed Pat Healy in third round.
Also Nurmagomedov is the real deal at 155.

Hopefully Costa smashes Carmont as I have feeling if he doesn't we are going to get another bullshit what the hell are judges smoking decision win like he got over Tom Lawlor and Lorenz Larkin.

You might want to go back to Serra-Longo after this one Costa.
As much as I hate to admit it Carmont won this one fair and square.

I have a feeling that unless Matt Mitrione lands a big punch we will be getting a replay of what Schaub did to Lavar Johnson.

Also here a gif of Khabib Nurmagomedov's awesome takedown/slam from the first main card fight.  |

So Mitrione's game plan was to laugh at Schaub's striking, get taken down and submitted.

Not gonna lie. Completely forgot that the Bantamweight division was still around.

Not gonna lie. Completely forgot that the Bantamweight division was still around. It really doesn't say much about the division when the champion hasn't fought in almost two years and hasn't been stripped of the title. |

Good stuff from Barao, he's the rightful champ as far as I'm concerned. Don't see Gus doing much, but it'll be interesting to see Jones fighting a guy as big as him.

I think Gustafsson has won both rounds.

I'll give that round to Jones. Gustafsson looks to be slowing down.
