Wise knows both combatants in the main event will be looking to make a statement. Woodley (19-4-1), 38, has long had his share of detractors, with UFC president Dana White even once criticizing his performance in a title bout. He gave his naysayers plenty of ammunition, as he was listless and dominated by Kamaru Usman, squandering his title with little resistance.
But at the top of his game, Woodley is one of the most fearsome strikers the welterweight division has ever seen. He set a record for the fastest knockout in the division's history in a title bout when he stopped Robbie Lawler to win the crown in July 2016. He also stopped then-undefeated challenger Darren Till, who closed as a slight favorite, in their September 2018 title bout.

Burns (18-3), 33, has proven more than capable on the feet but is even more comfortable when the fight hits the mat. He won a silver medal at the 2009 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship. The Brazilian started his UFC career with a 3-3 mark, but has since ripped off fight straight wins with increasingly impressive outings. In what was expected to be a grappling match with fellow Jiu-Jitsu specialist Maia, Burns ended the fight with a crushing left hand in the first round.
We'll share one of Wise's UFC Fight Night predictions here: He is backing Spike Carlyle (+135) to upset Billy Quarantillo (-150) via stoppage in a battle of up-and-coming featherweight contenders. Carlyle brings in an impressive 9-1 career record. While most of those wins were piled up at the regional level, he proved himself by knocking out Aalon Cruz in the first round in February. Carlyle landed a whopping 20 significant strikes in that short amount of time.
Wise told SportsLine that he sees this fight as having "the potential to deliver some significant crazy power punches from both fighters." But he also sees it as much closer to even than the oddsmakers, leading him to take Carlyle at the lucrative price
