Brookins/Yahya should be very interesting. That's a solid matchup in my book.
I'm also thinking Markes won't be able to have his way with Simpson like he did with Vemola, but ya never know. I feel like Markes is going to be huge at MW though.

More interested in Markes/Simpson. Markes was loads of trouble for Vemola who is extremely powerful and a great wrestler. Although I didn't get to see the fight, it's my understanding that Markes dominated throughout the entire match. Simpson's three fight streak might be snapped in this one. I'm taking Markes via UD.
Brookins is very tough and I think he'll be able to take Yahya down and maintain top control. Could possibly see Yahya catching him in a submission, but I doubt it. Brookins by UD as well.
