6. Lucas Martins vs. Alex White
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqoYc6wYlhI Weight Class: Featherweight Opening up the main card is a featherweight bout between the undefeated Jiu-jitsu practioner Alex White (10-0) and the Brazilian Mauy Thau specialist Lucas Martins (14-1). Currently 2-1 in the UFC, Martins is on a two fight win streak, and is looking to work his way up in the division. He's actually coming back up to featherweight after dipping down into the bantamweight pool. White, meanwhile, is coming off a victory in his UFC debut, a Performance of the Night KO over Estevan Payan. While White has learned to use his hands and not rely solely on his jiu-jitsu, in which he's a blue belt, he'd be best served to avoid striking and especially the clinch with the dangerous Martins. White is a last-minute replacement due to an injury to original combatant Jim Alers, though the switch shouldn't prove too difficult for Martins. Expect him to take a TKO victory by the second round.
