Tom Nolan vs. Alex Reyes

The first fight of the night features Australia's Tom Nolan taking on the veteran Alex Reyes from the United States. Nolan, with a 7-1 record, has been on a tear recently, showcasing his striking and grappling abilities. His opponent, Reyes, is stepping into the Octagon after a long layoff, and although he has experience, the odds are heavily stacked against him.

Pick: Tom Nolan via KO/TKO -400

Song Kenan vs. Ricky Glenn

In the second early prelim fight, China's Song Kenan faces off against the American veteran Ricky Glenn. Kenan is known for his aggressive striking, with 21 victories to his name. Glenn, however, is a well-rounded fighter with significant experience and a gritty style that often allows him to overcome power punchers.

Pick: Ricky Glenn ML +160

Stewart Nicoll vs. Jesus Aguilar

The final fight of the early prelims pits Australia's Stewart Nicoll against Mexico's Jesus Aguilar. Nicoll, undefeated at 8-0, is a strong grappler with a knack for finishing fights on the ground.
