Underneath, there are four more exciting bouts to be decided throughout the card . The following slideshow previews all upcoming main card fights set to take place at the big show.
Women's Strawweight: Michelle Waterson vs Felice Herrig
The "Karate Hottie" Michelle Waterson is determined to put herself into title contention against the dangerous, Felice Herrig.
Herrig will be more than a match for Waterson's stand up skills and is better in the clinch, however, Waterson's submission skills are truly dazzling and after putting two straight defeats behind her with victory over Cortney Casey in April, Waterson will be aiming to finish the former Kickboxer.
Herrig lost her last bout versus Karolina Kowalkiewicz on a close split decision but prior to that had enjoyed a career resurgence with a four fight win streak.
This one could well go the distance with two fighters who match up very well.
