Jess Bouscal (2-2-0) vs. Luis Mendoza (0-0-0)
Jess Bouscal will be making his Strikeforce debut in this fight, but he has competed in both the Total Combat and Pacific Xtreme Combat promotions. While in Total Combat, Jess Bouscal defeated Leonel Beta and suffered a lone defeat to Mark Beacher. It has been nearly four years since Jess Bouscal last competed in a professional MMA fight, so cage rust can be a factor in the fight. While in the Pacific Xtreme Combat promotion, Jess Bouscal defeated Elijah Young and suffered a defeat to Ryan Biglar. Jess Bouscal will be looking to use his striking skills to win the fight, with all of his MMA victories coming by knockout. Luis Mendoza will not only be making his Strikeforce debut in this fight, but his professional MMA debut as well, so his lack of experience can come into play in this fight.
My Prediction: Jess Bouscal
