Fresh off his win over PRIDE veteran Chris "Felony" Bennett, Cody Stevens looks for back-to-back wins for the first time since 2013 when he takes on Anthony Morrison. Stevens (13-9-1) took out Bennett by unanimous decision, an impressive feat since "Felony" was a short-notice replacement. The 34-year-old has now won two of his last three fights after suffering a three-fight skid. Stevens has fought some tough competition throughout the years including UFC standouts Wilson Reis and Jimmie Rivera, while also battling former ONE title holder Shinya Aoki. Morrison (20-11) is perhaps best known for his battles with Mike Brown and Chad Mendes in the WEC.
The 33-year-old is coming off a knockout loss to UFC welterweight Jared Gordon at CFFC 59, which snapped his four-fight win streak. Morrison has been fairly inactive in his MMA career, having fought just five-times since 2011. It should also be noted he's moving back up to lightweight for this fight as he's primarily competed as a featherweight.
Jeff "Lights Out" Hughes looks to get back on the winning track as he battles Ryan Pokryfky in the nights co-feature. Hughes (6-1) had his six-fight win streak snapped in his last fight, suffering a fifth round knockout loss to TUF 19 competitor Dan Spohn back in December. The 29-year-old has only gone the distance twice in his career and boasts three-wins by knockout. Pokryfky (5-3) suffered his first loss his last four-fights as current UFC heavyweight Arjan Bhullar defeated him by unanimous decision at BFL 45: Ascension in September.
The 30-year-old has never lost back-to-back fights and also holds three-career wins by knockout.
Undefeated welterweight Logan Urban looks for his fifth stoppage victory in his last six-fights as he takes on Nate Davies in a 170-pound amateur matchup. Urban (5-0) made his amateur debut in 2014 and remained undefeated, with four of his five career fights coming by way of stoppage. At just 23-years-old, Urban is one of the most promising welterweight fighters to come out of Ohio. Davies (3-2) has a tremendous opportunity to play the role of spoiler, as he's coming off a unanimous decision loss to Tyler Collins at Caged Madness 46.
The 25-year-old has won three of his last four fights and competes for the first time this year.
