Prediction
A fight between two fighters that impressed Dana earlier this season. Sherrard Blackledge and Tucker Lurz are back and will do battle against each other. This can go two ways – Lutz uses his wrestling to control the fight or Blackledge picks apart Lutz on the feet. The way I’m looking at this fight is, Blackledge don’t have the power to stop Lutz but Lutz has the wrestling to neutralize Blackledge. I like Blackledge but I don’t think he will be able to get out from underneath Lutz.
