Jimmy Crute (9-0) vs. Sam Alvey (33-10, 1 No Contest)

Class: Light heavyweight

Line: Crute -135

Storyline: Crute has spoken often this week of wanting to get in the kind of thrilling bout that could help him earn a $50,000 fight of the night bonus and even said he wouldn’t mind fighting in a “bloodbath.” He has the right opponent. Alvey is willing to take two shots to land a massive one, and his chin tends to hold up long enough for him to inflict a lot of damage. Crute is a talented prospect who didn’t show everything he wanted in his

UFC debut in December because he froze under the bright lights. Still, he rallied for a submission win and earned the right to fight on this main card in his home country.

Hill’s pick: Crute by second-round

Fang’s pick: Adam Hill
