MAIN CARD (7PM ET/4PM PT)
JOAQUIN BUCKLEY (13-4-0) VS. ABDUL RAZAK ALHASSAN (11-4-0)
Andrews: Buckley needs to be a bit careful when striking, but I think he gets the better of Alhassan after some caution.
Andrews Prediction: Joaquin Buckley via TKO
JIM MILLER (33-16-0, 1NC) VS. NIKOLAS MOTTA (12-3-0)
Andrews: Motta is making his debut, coming from DWCS. Miller is a stiff test for a debut, and I have to give Miller the advantage due to his experience even though he nearly 10 years older.
Andrews Prediction: Jim Miller via submission
PARKER PORTER (11-6-0) VS. ALAN BAUDOT (8-2-0)
Andrews: Baudot has the size and reach advantage but has yet to record his first octagon victory. Look for Porter to punch above his weight here.
Andrews Prediction: Parker Porter via TKO
KYLE DAUKAUS (10-2-0, 1NC) VS. JAMIE PICKETT (13-6-0)

Andrews: Daukaus has struggled getting the fight to the ground lately. He faces a goos striker in Pickett. I think Pickett gets the decision.
Andrews Prediction: Jamie Pickett via UD
