Time to chip away at my horrendous MMA capping record with some picks for tonight's event.

Ciryl Gane (1.24) vs Junior Dos Santos (4.25)

At one time Dos Santos was the baddest man on the planet and UFC heavyweight champ. Currently Dos Santos has lost 3 straight via TKO and is a massive underdog to an up and comer striker. Unfortunately for him, I think the odds look right. Ciryl Gane is in his prime at 30 while Dos Santos is getting up there in age at 36. I'm expecting a stand up affair here with a stoppage win for Gane.

My pick is the Ciryl Gane moneyline.

Tony Ferguson (1.64) vs Charles Oliveira (2.35)

Ferguson's long 12 fight win streak ended with an exclamation mark TKO loss vs Justin Gaethje as the ref stopped the fight in round 5. Oliviera has always been a huge featherweight which is why he has had no problems transitioning to lightweight. He's won 7 straight with his biggest win being his last vs lightweight notable Kevin Lee.

Ferguson wins I think if he can avoid the take down and ground game of Oliveira. Oliveira has good stand up too but he'll want to take this to the ground. I'm predicting Ferguson avoids the takedown and wins via decision or TKO.

My pick is the Tony Ferguson moneyline.

Deiveson Figueiredo (1.29) Brandon Moreno (3.70)

I'll be honest, I don't understand why Moreno is fighting for the flyweight title. This fight looks like a total mismatch to me.

My pick is the Deiveson Figueiredo moneyline.
