Stallings will have an experience edge.
Middleweights
Ronald Stallings (9-3, 1 NC, 0-0 SF) vs. Adlan Amagov (7-1-1, 0-0 SF)

The Matchup: Two middleweights lock up here, with the Team Lloyd Irvin product Stallings against the aggressive and fast-working Amagov, who has scored five of his seven wins inside the first stanza.

Overseas fighters bring an air of intrigue with them, along with the likelihood of having a difficult time adjusting. This will be Amagov’s first fight in the States, and Stallings’ jiu-jitsu and grappling may be a tad much if he can get it past the first round.

The Pick: Stallings by third-round submission.
