130 AM Scott Miles (0-0 Citadel) vs. Tyler Smythe (1-1 Evolution Athletix)
At 130 lbs Scott Miles will be taking on Tyler Smythe at a catch weight of 130 lbs. Scott trains with Citadel and he will be making his amateur debut. His opponent is Tyler Smythe and he trains with Evolution Athletix. He comes into this fight with a 1-1 record with 1 win by rear naked choke and 1 loss by split decision. I expect this to be a fast paced stand up battle and also I have to give props to Tyler for stepping up and taking this fight on 1 weeks notice.
170 AM Josh Smith (0-0 Nostos) vs. John O'Connor (0-0 Loco Lobo MMA)
135 AM Joshua Medeiros (0-0 Sityodtong) vs. Andrew Valdina (1-1 Lauzon MMA)

His opponent is Andrew Valdina and he trains out of Lauzon MMA. He comes into this fight with a 1-1 record with 1 win by decision and 1 loss by ko/tko in Round 2. I see this one being a back and forth stand up war.
170 PRO Jay Ellis (15-99 Red Schaffer MMA) vs. Trevor Gudde (2-2 Citadel MMA)
In the first pro fight of the night Jay Ellis steps back into the cage for the 115th time against Trevor Gudde in the 170 lb division.

His opponent is Trevor Gudde and he trains out of Citadel MMA. He comes into this fight with a 2-2 record with 1 ko/tko and 1 submission win. For his losses, he lost 1 by ko/tko and 1 by submission. Obviously this isn't the best match up of the night and I see Trevor Gudde winning this by submission in Round 1. Not to take anything away from Jay Ellis as he always comes prepared and willing to step in to save a fight at anytime but I just call it how I see it.
155 PRO Leo Ladeira (0-2 Sityodtong) vs. Dion Rubio (0-0 Triforce MMA)

It also is worth noting that Leo has had a bunch of boxing fights however he is 0-6 in Boxing according to Tapology. His opponent is Dion Rubio and he trains out of Triforce MMA. He will be making his pro debut. As an amateur, he went 4-1 with 3 wins by submission and 1 by split decision. His one loss came by decision against Eddy George at Cage Titans 43. I see this one being a ground battle.

His opponent is Joe Poirier and he trains with SBG East. He comes into this fight with a 2-0 record with both wins by submission. This is a solid match up with both fighters being finishers. I think Nate will want to keep this fight standing for a bit to wear down Joe. Joe will most likely want to get this fight to the mat and try to work a submission. Either way it is going to be real fun to watch!

This is one of those fights that could go anywhere in the cage and either fighter could win. I see this one being a back and forth battle and going to a decision.

I think this is a good match up for both fighters and could go either way.

He comes into this fight with an 8-3 record with 1 ko/tko and 7 by way of submission. For his losses, he lost 2 by submission and 1 by decision. Penafiel has excellent striking and good takedown defense. He is going to want to keep this fight standing and try to get that decision win. Richie is a solid ground guy and if he is successful at taking down Joe and keeping him to the mat then it is going to be a long night for Penafiel. This is definitely a potential for fight of the night.
