How much does 41-year old Francisco Trinaldo have left in the tank? He's 4-3 in his last seven UFC bouts and tends to fade in later rounds, which isn't surprising considering his age. Five of his last seven fights have gone the distance, including losses to Alexander Hernandez and James Vick. He faces a guy much younger making his UFC debut. Jai Herbert is a superb technical striker with an impressive 10-1 record, including eight wins via knockout. Because of his height (6-1), he finds a safe distance where he can pick apart his opponent, utilizing straight punches while mixing things up to keep foes guessing. He won the vacant Cage Warriors lightweight belt against Jack Grant and defended it with an impressive first-round knee knockout of UFC veteran Cain Carrizosa. For this bout, Herbert has a reach edge, is nine years younger, and six inches taller. Take Jai Herbert to win the fight.
