Now, on to the fights...

Main Event – Featherweight

This is about as poor of matchmaking as you will ever see for a UFC main event. Swanson is well known, marketable and on a three-fight winning streak, so you can make a case for him headlining an event against the right opponent, but a legitimate argument can be made that Lobov is nothing more than roster depth.

Cub had a rough go of it when he finally got the chance to face the best fighters in the UFC's featherweight division, but there is no doubt that he is among the best 145 pounders on the planet. He isn't on the level of guys like Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, Max Holloway or Frankie Edgar, but he is on that tier just below those elite names. Swanson wins with aggressiveness, grit and the ability to take a beating. His struggles have come when he doesn't attempt to pressure his opponents. I see no reason for him to have issues hitting Lobov with regularity.

Lobov is 2-2 in the UFC (he has won his last two fights) and all of the contests have gone to a decision. His career record is barely over .500, although he does train with McGregor on a daily basis. While known for his striking, Lobov doesn't land enough to truly threaten his opposition. He, much like Swanson, has shown an ability to eat a punch, but he isn't a great athlete and he is too old (30) to expect sudden, significant improvement. There isn't much to like here.

This fight might be entertaining, but it makes zero sense is terms of matchmaking. We have all been surprised before, but based upon everything we have seen of each man of late, I don't see how you can pick Lobov to win this fight.

THE PICK: Swanson

Co-Main Event – Lightweight

This has the potential to be a terrific fight. Raging Al hasn't fought in more than a year due to injuries and a contract dispute. His contract has apparently not been renegotiated at this point, but he'll be back in action Saturday. Iaquinta is riding a four-fight winning streak and hasn't lost in nearly three years. The lack of recent activity is a concern, but Al is a respectable athlete who keeps himself in good shape. If he leans on his wrestling background and refuses to get into an all out brawl against Diego (which is difficult), he is going to have the advantage.

Diego is coming off a unanimous decision win over Marcin Held in November, and he has alternated wins and losses in his last six fights. Held stood around and did nothing for the majority of that fight and that's not the way to go about beating Sanchez. Diego is among the most entertaining fighters in the company and can take a beating as well as any man on earth, but he simply doesn't have the athletic ability or offensive arsenal to defeat better fighters at age 35.

Diego's takedown defense over the course of his UFC career is just 50 percent. If Iaquinta commits to the wrestling game, I think he wins fairly easily. All bets are off however if he changes the game plan and slugs it out with Diego. Those are the kind of fights that Sanchez lives for.

THE PICK: Iaquinta

Light Heavyweight

OSP has dropped three in a row and four of his last five. The shortcomings in his game are becoming more and more apparent. Saint Preux is a great athlete, but he isn't a great fighter. He gets hit too much on the feet, gets sloppy during exchanges on the mat, and while he is very strong and has legitimate power, he isn't going to improve significantly at the age of 33. He has faced some strong fighters, but the fact OSP hasn't been able to make serious headway in a thin light heavyweight division is a major concern moving forward.

Rogerio De Lima has alternated wins and losses in his last five contests. He is coming off an impressive first-round KO win of Jeremy Kimball in late-January, so he is getting a quick turnaround here. The Brazilian is built like a tank and hits like a Mack Truck, but he has had serious difficulty with his mat defense. His two UFC losses have both come via first round submission.

This figures to be the last stand for OSP. He could conceivably be cut if he losses. Dropping four straight fights is an easy way to lose your job. Rogerio De Lima's power and his ability to score quick finishes certainly make him the better DraftKings play. I don't have much faith in either man moving forward, but OSP's struggles of late have me significantly concerned.

THE PICK: de Lima

Bantamweight

This is the best fight on what is a fairly weak card. Dodson has a first-round KO win over Manny Gamburyan and a split-decision loss to John Lineker on his record since moving up to bantamweight. While Lineker's power isn't as effective at 135 pounds as it was at flyweight, it's still a difference maker. Dodson's hand and foot speed give him a distinct advantage over bigger opponents. Though he gives up in size and reach, he can make up for with movement.

Wineland appeared to be on the verge of retirement after a loss to Bryan Caraway in July 2015, but he has since rebounded with back-to-back KO wins over Takeya Mizugaki and Frankie Saenz. Wineland has been fighting the best in the world for nearly a decade and has taken a lot of punishment over the years. I thought Wineland was finished after the Caraway fight, and I was really shocked that he earned wins over Mizugaki and Saenz. Still, this appears to be a terrible matchup for him.

Dodson moves so fast that I think he is going to pop Wineland at will and get out of range before he can return fire. Putting high-priced fighters in your lineup is generally a significant risk, but I like Dodson here. I think that he has such a significant striking advantage that Wineland is going to have a difficult time keeping up.

THE PICK: Dodson
