Tim Means (32-15-1) vs. Andre Fialho (16-7)
Means: +165 ? Fialho: -200
? Two fighters that look to finally get back into the win column. Means is a seasoned veteran who has faced some great competition in his career. Unfortunately for Means, he is 39 years old and a shell of his former self. Look for Fialho to get back on track with a late knockout after a rough 2022 and early 2023.

Mitchell: -160 ? Ige: +135
? Bryce “Thug Nasty” Mitchell returns after a loss to take on Dan “50k” Ige, who loves performance bonuses. Expect this to go the distance as Ige is impossible to knock out and Mitchell has not had a finish in a while. Mitchell gets the unanimous decision after fifteen minutes of wrestling.
MAIN EVENT | LIGHTWEIGHT · 155 LBS
Rafael Fiziev (12-2) vs. Mateusz Gamrot (22-2)
Fiziev: -140 ? Gamrot: +115
? Rafael “The Scorching Thunder” Fiziev takes on Mateusz “The Gamemaster” Gamrot in the main event in what should be fireworks. Fiziev is coming off a loss to Justin Gaethje and loves to punch it out on the feet. Gamrot is just the opposite and no doubt would like to see the match play out on the ground. Fiziev has great takedown defense however, which may prove a rough night for Gamrot. Expect the fight to go the full five with Fiziev winning by decision.
