6. Matt Wiman vs. Isaac Vallie-Flagg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXmgtQ0AYYE Weight Class: Lightweight UFC Fight Night 57 opens with a lightweight bout between Matt Wiman (157) and Isaac Vallie-Flagg (1451) who both enter the fight coming off losses. Both men will be hungry to get back in the win column, and while it's not a critical bout, it could be a fun one. Prior to their losses (Vallie-Flagg has suffered two in a row and is looking at a possible cut), both men won a handful of decisions and were having trouble finding the finish. Vallie-Flagg has more to lose and may opt to play it safe, which could inadvertently give the upper hand to Wiman. Wiman, however, has had a long layoff, close to two years between fights. Ring rust may very well play a factor. Our prediction is Vallie-Flagg by decision - but this is a fight that could go either way.
