#1 Devin Clark vs. Aleksandar Rakic
Devin Clark and Aleksander Rakic are both coming into this fight on the back of a win. However, when it comes to Rakic, his winning tendencies have been going on for a while now.
Since making his debut in the UFC, Rakic is unbeaten with 2 fights to his name. He even has a streak of 10 wins at the moment, which is an incredible record.
Clark will have to do something special to even challenge him at this stage.
#2 Carlos Diego Ferreira vs. Kyle Nelson
When it looked like Diego Ferreira may be facing Jesse Ronson, Nelson was disheartened. After getting a 12-1 run on the outside, he had been looking for an opportunity to fight on the big stage. He finally got the chance and snapped it up in one second, when Ronson announced that he was too heavy and would not be able to make the cut in one week.
The two are set to square off against each other in the biggest fight of Nelson's career at UFC 231.
