Another big weekend of MMA action is almost upon us, and we have a lot of ground to cover. Let’s get the ball rolling by taking a look at LFA 157, which is set to go on Friday night at 9 PM EST on UFC Fight Pass. This is a pretty big main card, with 7 bouts scheduled and a title fight headliner sitting at the top. The main event is for the Women’s Vacant Bantamweight Championship. We will get to that one in a moment, but let’s quickly break down all the main card bouts, with MMA betting predictions for each.

Where: Lake Casino Hotel

Amari Sengsavanh Vs Kibedy Gordon

The main card opens with a Featherweight bout between a pair of unbeaten fighters who are still early in their pro careers. Sengsavanh is sitting at 2-0, with both of those fights going the distance. Gordon has a couple more fights under his belt, sitting at 4-0 right now, with the majority of those wins coming inside the distance. Gordon might need to go all the way in this one, but I think he gets the win.

Quang Le Vs Ira Lukowsky

Next up is a Bantamweight bout and another fighter looking to maintain a perfect record. That would be Le, who comes into this one at 5-0, with 3 of those wins coming inside the distance. Lubosky is just 3-2 overall and has taken the loss in each of his last 2 fights, so he really needs this one to get back on track. I don’t think he gets it, though, as I like Le by submission.

Marnic Mann Vs Amber Brown

The women are up next for a Strawweight bout, with both fighters in need of a win. Mann started pro life with 5 straight wins, but she will be looking to bounce back after losing last time out. Her needs are not as bad as those of Brown, who has lost 4 of her last 5 fights to fall to 7-6 overall. I like Mann to take this one by decision.

Alden Coria Vs Jesse Martinelli

We have a pair of Flyweights stepping into the octagon for the next bout. Coria saw life as a pro get off to a fast start, winning 5 in a row, but he has since lost each of his last 2 fights and needs a bounce back win. Martinelli is still very early in his career, but he has won both of his bouts to this point. This is a close one, but I am taking Martinelli by decision.

Kegan Gennrich Vs Richie Miranda

As we near the top of the main card, we get a Lightweight bout that looks to be a good one. Gennrich comes in with a 5-2 record, winning 3 in a row and 4 of his last 5 fights. He will have his hands full here, though, as Miranda is still unbeaten as a pro with a 6-0 record. I like Miranda to stay perfect with the KO win.

Bobby Lee Vs Arthur Estrazulas

We have a couple of experienced Lightweights in for the co-main event, but both have been a bit up and down of late. Lee is 13-7 overall, and while he is coming off a win, that victory snapped a 3-fight losing streak. Estrazulas is a respectable 13-5, but 2 of his losses have come in his last 5 fights. I like Estrazulas to get the win via submission.

Melissa Croden Vs Jacqueline Cavalcanti

By the time this fight is over, one of these women will step out of the octagon with the Bantamweight Championship belt. Croden is 4-1 and is in the habit of winning quickly, with her lone loss coming via split decision. Cavalcanti has the same 4-1 record as her opponent, with her lone loss coming in the PFL. I think it will be Cavalcanti who gets the win.
