3/2.50 Rayanne dos Santos wins by 3 round decision -120
dos Santos(14-8) is a Former Invicta FC Atomweight Champion. She is relatively well-rounded for a 29-year-old up-and-comer. Although 0-2 in the UFC, each loss was a competitive split decision. Ardelean(9-7) offers little power and most often relying on her offensive grappling. She is also 0-2 since signing with UFC, both decision losses. Gimme the hot redhead by what else...a decision!

My only 2 plays in prelims...
Fihlo (16-3) has looked very lately, winning 3 straight with two 1st round sub wins, and before that he almost finished Muhammad Mokaev before getting subbed late in the 3rd by the undefeated Mokaev. Nascimento(20-6) has outstanding BJJ and is excellent in scrambles. He's been known to pull guard if needed. He’s very aggressive on the mat offensively, with 15 of his 20 wins coming via submission. With 2 great sub artist, a finish can always come, but I would lean towards a decision. Nascimentodid mis weight by 1.5lb and that can provide an advantage in the battle between two very competitive Brazilian fight camps(Chute Boxe Diego Lima and Nova Unao).
...and after 3 straight losing cards, I'm barely keeping my head above water on the year.
The "Monkey King" got a performance bonus along with the opening fight of the prelims...never seen the first fight get "Fight of the Night", although it did deserve it. Quite a banger, one of the very few highlights from a dismal night.
