Kicking off the action is a featherweight fight as Pablo “The Scarecrow” Garza (10-1-0) takes on Yves “Tiger” Jabouin (15-6-0). Pablo Garza is currently undefeated in UFC competition with a win over Fredson Paixao at the UFC Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale. Yves Jabouin had a poor run in the WEC, suffering two defeats to both Mark Hominick and Raphael Assuncao. This fight is a classic striker versus grappler encounter, with the grappler in Pablo Garza securing the victory.

Up next will be a lightweight affair as John “The Bull” Makdessi (8-0-0) will go to battle with Kyle Watson (13-6-1). John Makdessi is currently undefeated in UFC competition with a victory over Pat Audinwood at UFC 124. Kyle Watson is also undefeated in UFC competition, having defeated Sako Chivitchyan at the UFC Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale. While John Makdessi is a talented fighter, his undefeated streak will be ending at the hands of Kyle Watson.

The next fight will take place in the middleweight division as Jason “The Athlete” MacDonald (24-14-0) takes on Ryan Jensen (15-7-0). Jason MacDonald is returning from a serious knee injury suffered at UFC 113 and hasn’t competed in nearly a year. Ryan Jensen has only won two of five in his most recent UFC run, with a notable victory of TUF contestant Jesse Forbes. While Jason MacDonald is a good fighter, the cage rust is going to cost him the fight against the veteran Ryan Jensen.

A pair of bantamweights are going to battle next as Ivan “Pride Of El Salvador” Menjivar (21-8-0) face off with Charlie Valencia (12-6-0). Ivan Menjivar will be making his UFC debut in this fight after a lone fight in the WEC, which was a loss to Brad Pickett. Charlie Valencia has had a long run in the WEC, fighting such notables as Migel Torres and Dominick Cruz. This fight is a key fight in the division and it will be a key fight that Ivan Menjivar will be winning in the end.

Headlining this card is a welterweight fight as Claude “The Prince” Patrick (13-1-0) takes on Daniel “Ninja” Roberts (12-1-0). Claude Patrick is currently undefeated in UFC competition, with victories over Ricardo Funch and James Wilks. Daniel Roberts has won three of four fights in the UFC, with a notable victory coming over longtime MMA veteran Forrest Petz. This should be an interesting battle on the ground, but it is going to be a battle that Daniel Roberts is going to win.
