7. Jorge Masvidal vs. James Krause
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4IU1UXgkRI Weight Class: Lightweight Free style fighting black belt Jorge Masvidal (278) meets Jiu-jitsu brown belt James Krause(21-5) in the penultimate fight of the televised prelims Saturday night. Far from killing time until the return of Dominick Cruz, Masvidal vs. Krause is one of those fights that could either steal the show, or greatly under-preform. Both fighters have been part of Fight of the Night bouts, and both are coming off wins, though Krause's comes with an asterisk as it ended due to a leg injury to Jamie Varner which Varnet valiantly finished the round with, but was unable to continue (that stubborn tenacity likely saved him from being cut). Both fighters are experienced, gritty, and it's all going to come down to who wants it more. Krause has the edge on the ground with 13 submission wins, and we'll take him via sub in the second.
