Aaron Archer is more experienced fighter in this fight with total 49 pro fight included 2-1 record inside the DUEL cage , with victory in this fight i think he will reach the top 15 contender spot

In opening fight of maincard we have classic matchup between striker vs grappler. Taj Trigger is very powerful striker with one punch KO power , we can saw it in his last fight he just landing 4 head shot and send his opponent to the hospital after the fight. In other side Aaron Archer is very good grappler but in his last fight against Bunny Anstey he showing us alot of striking skill

PREDICTION: Taj Trigger via second round TKO

Dominic Tattum is the former lightweight champion and this is his first fight since lost the 155 belt last month , he really excited with this fight and looking to make big statement here

Both fighter is very talented striker. OToole background is boxer he like to on outside position and using his long reach to scoring single shot. Dominic Tattum is very dangerous muay thai fighter and i think his best weapon is leg kick , he landing 52 leg kick in his last 2 DUEL fight. I can expected this fight is gonna be standup war

PREDICTION: Dominic Tattum via Unanimous Decision

Middleweight Bout
#4 Nick Dick (15-10) vs #10 Akira Hendrix (13-6)

Nick Dick is one of the most dangerous guy in DUEL middleweight division , he is undefeated since he join the organization also all of that win is coming via first round stoppage

Akira Hendrix is fresh face in DUEL middleweight division and looking to make his DUEL debut in this fight , he is former SFC 205lbs titleholder but now ready to fight in 185lbs division

This is another grappler vs striker matchup. Nick Dick is very strong grappler , he always looking to take his opponent to the mat and the throwing bomb from top position until the referee stop the fight. In the blue corner Akira Hendrix is very dangerous striker with pro kickboxing experienced and i think he will stand and bang

PREDICTION: Akira Hendrix via first round KO

Middleweight Bout
#2 Edwin Jordan (11-4) vs #7 Herman Mudgett (11-10)

#2 contender Edwin Jordan is the hottest prospect in DUEL middleweight division , he comes into this fight after winning his DUEL debut against Nir Sosa and with another win in this fight he will get title shot

Herman Mudgett also comes into this fight after winning his DUEL debut over Johann Kessler via decision , he is more experienced fighter and i think that may be his key to winning this fight

This is the #1 contender fight and the winner of this fight will be get shot for middleweight belt next. Edwin Jordan is very dangerous striker with one punch KO power also he has very solid chin and i think it's very hard to knock this guy out. In other side Herman Mudgett is very well rounded fighter with good boxing and grappling skill but i think he will more effective if he using ground game gameplan in this fight

PREDICTION: Edwin Jordan via unanimous decison

5 rounds fight for middleweight championship. Billy Silver is world class striker with very good in striking distance or clinch fight , his grappling skill is very bad but he still has very good wrestling skill to keep this fight on feet. The champion Sam Ponjev is one of the best grappler in my entire roster today , he has very powerful ground n pound and solid submission skill.
