Featherweight bout:
Tyler “Thunder” Toner (10-2 1NC) vs. Ian “The Barn Owl” Loveland (13-7)
Winner: Loveland by decision
Despite taking this fight on two weeks notice, Loveland has enough arsenal to take down Toner.

Cody “Big Time” McKenzie (11-0) vs. Aaron “The Daywalker” Wilkinson (6-3)

McKenzie is not only undefeated, he has yet to go the distance in any of his pro bouts. He has 10 of his 11 fights by submission, nine of those by guillotine choke.
Main card

Phan is the fresher of the two and will be looking to establish a solid winning streak.
Welterweight bout:
Rick “The Horror” Story (11-3) vs. Johny Hendricks (9-0)
Winner: Hendricks by decision
Hendricks is not only undefeated in his career, he is also looking for his 5th straight win inside of the Octagon, as is Story. Hendricks has also won the majority of his fights by decision.
Middleweight bout:
Demian Maia (13-2) vs. Kendall “Da Spyder” Grove (12-7 1NC)
Winner: Grove by decision
While Maia may have more wins and fewers losses, Grove is a former Ultimate Fighter winner (season 3) and being on the stage at a Finale may be just the thing to earn him a win against a former middleweight title contender.
Light Heavyweight bout:
Stephan “The American Psycho” Bonnar (12-7) vs. Igor Pokrajac (22-7)
Winner: Bonnar by TKO
The former Ultimate Fighter finalist may have lesser wins than Pokrajac, but he is also coming off of avenging a loss from earlier in the year. Bonnar will be looking to make a comeback of sorts. Like Grove, being on an Ultimate Fighter Finale card may be just the thing to inspire him to get the win.
Lightweight bout:
Jonathan Brookins (11-3) vs. Michael “The Menace” Johnson (8-4)
Winner: Brookins by submission
Both of these fighters were on Team GSP and fought their way to the finals. Not only does Brookins have a better record, he also has no problem defeating fellow teamates, defeating fellow teammate Kyle Watson in the semi finals of the competition.
