Jimi Manuwa tops that list of UK fighters which also includes the likes of Paul Craig, Leon Edwards John Phillips and more while Farbicio Werdum is the real lone star from overseas on this card as he headlines against tricky Russian Alexander Volkov.

Here are my full picks for the event;

Heavyweight: Fabrício Werdum vs. Alexander Volkov – I’m going with Volkov here to cause a shock over 5 rounds.

Light Heavyweight: Jimi Manuwa vs. Jan Błachowicz: Fancy Manuwa to get the stoppage this time.
