Luan Lacerda vs. Cody Stamann Prediction

Stamann has a knack for dragging fights out and hunting for points. Last year's Eddie Wineland fight did show a more powerful and vicious side to his striking though. However, against an evasive grappler like Lacerda, charging in all guns blazing would likely end badly.

'Mr Wonderful' would be best served relying on his mastery of pressure fighting here to squeeze out a decision win. Lacerda, meanwhile, will need to get in close and get Stamann to the ground if he wants to dominate. His extensive array of killer submissions would likely get him the victory here.

Overall, with more experience and a stronger stand-up game, Stamann should be able to rack up the points to bag a tough decision win.
