The Maia vs. Araújo matchup is the co-main event on paper, but Jonathan Martinez vs. Adrian Yanez is set to be one of the most fan-friendly fights.
Martinez is riding a five-fight win streak. He put on a Performance of the Night in a TKO win over Cub Swanson and most recently beat Said Nurmagomedov in a unanimous decision.
On the other side, Yanez is coming off a loss but has already established himself as an action fighter always worth the price of admission. He came up short against Rob Front in a first-round TKO loss, but was 5-0 in the UFC with five performance bonuses in a row leading up to that.
Font is an accomplished veteran who has been in the cage with the who's who of the division over the years.
It's probably best not to read too much into that loss. This is a matchup of budding prospects and regardless of who wins it's going to be an exciting one.
Prediction: Yanez via second-round TKO
