5. Misha Cirkunov Vs. Alex Nicholson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPcQPI5wUkY Weight Class: Light Heavyweight You'll be forgiven for asking "who?" here. Alex Nicholson (6-1) is making his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 82, while Misha Cirkunov (10-2) is coming off a win in his UFC debut back in August. It's an odd fight to place on the main card, but given the change from PPV to Fox Sports 1, the promotion may have needed to fill time. The end result is that this is a pick 'em sort of fight. Cirkunov has the experience edge, while Nicholson has the "octagon jitters" to contend with. Nicholson does have heavy hands, while Cirkunov is a more balanced fighter with an even split of knockouts and submissions. Cirkunov by submission.
