John Moraga vs Sergio Pettis

John Moraga, ranked no.8 in the world at Flyweight, steps in on short notice (about 10 days) to replace Jussier Formiga, to go against no. 15 ranked Sergio Pettis, in what will be a high-octane fight to open the main card. Pettis though, is heading into the fight card as the favourite against the former title challenger Moraga, who has been on a bit of a skid off late, losing his last two.

However, he is fighting at home this time around and will have the crowd cheering for him, which should boost the tough Arizonian. While Pettis is the younger, quicker and more well-rounded fighter, Moraga proved in his fight against the reigning champion that he can pack a punch. That, coupled with his ability to rise to the occasion makes him a great pick to go with on Sunday night.

Prediction : John Moraga wins
