Diego Ferreira -350
John Makdessi was expected to face Carlos Diego Ferreira at the event. However, Makdessi pulled out of the fight on November 28 and was replaced by returning veteran Jesse Ronso.
Ferreira is a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a higher level fighter then Ronso. I was really impressed with his stand-up and finish of Jared Gordon. Ferreira accepted a 17-month sanction by the US Anti-Doping Agency for an anti-doping violation, during this time he has rounded out his skills and fight IQ, but looks like he is still on the juice. Jesse Ronson is being given the fight because of his local following to fill some seats.
