If you’ve ever seen Dominick Cruz, you know Mike Easton. He’s the diminutive guy in Cruz’s corner filling the bantamweight champion’s ear with a constant stream of effusive praise. Easton is Cruz’s “hype man,” the guy he counts on to prepare him for battle, and it’s a role he’s very effective in.

His game in the cage is quite similar to his talking ability, actually. He has cardio for days and enough power to knock out anyone in the division, a trait he displayed when he dispatched Byron Bloodworth in his UFC debut last October. Easton is a complete unknown to the general UFC fanbase, but he’s appearing on this card because he’s fun to watch and, well, the UFC wants you to know Mike Easton.

Jared Papazian took this fight on short notice when Ken Stone was forced out of the bout with an injury. He’s a serviceable bantamweight with a 14-6-1 record who fights out of Team Hayastan and holds career wins over top flyweight Abel Cullum and former WEC veteran Karen Darabedyan.

To put it simply, this is a showcase fight for Easton, and it’s one he should excel in. Expect him to wear Papazian down with his frantic pace before going in for the kill in the final frame.

Easton should call the shots, but the great thing about UFC is one thing can change it all.
