Priced like a dog from when he was supposed to fight Valiev and now a large favorite. He will be the chalk value play on the slate by a large margin.
JOHNNY MUNOZ JR.
Unranked
1st UFC FightAgreed to the fight on 1 day notice. Has never lost a fight, even as an amateur. 8 of 10 fights have ended early (and all 3 amateur fights). Advanced grappling and submission skills with limited striking ability. Will look to take the fight to the ground for a submission.

ED HERMAN
#27 Middleweight
24th UFC FightWon his last 2 UFC fights, however, is 3-4 in the UFC since 2015. 2 of those 3 wins by KO, 2 of those 4 losses by KO. Other 3 fights went to DEC. Has only reached 100 DK pts in 2 of last 10 fights. Hasn't been submitted since 2013.
JONATHAN MARTINEZ
#40 Bantamweight
5th UFC Fight2-2 in the UFC. 3 of those 4 went to DEC. The fourth was a late R3 KO by knee strike. Only pre UFC loss came from an illegal knee. 3 of last 4 wins have come early, 2 in R1 from SUB by armbar. Won first 5 professional fights by KO. Only 1 KO win in most recent 9 fights (2 SUB wins in that period). His most dangerous weapons are his legs and likes to mix in high knees with KO potential. This may be especially useful against a shorter opponent as his only UFC KO came via knee against 5'6" PINGYUAN LIU. His other 3 UFC opponents were all taller than him. Looks to be improving every fight. UPDATE: Missed weight by 4.5 lb and it's uncertain if this fight happens.
FRANKIE SAENZ
