The UFC always makes sure that the prelim portions of its fight cards aren't just an afterthought. This Saturday's UFC 195 is no different. What's notable is that a former Fight Pass headliner, Joseph Duffy vs. Dustin Poirier, has been rescheduled for the Fight Pass prelims. The feature fight for the FOX Sports 1 portion gives us Michael McDonald, who's ranked No. 8 by the UFC.

Michael McDonald -525
Masanori Kanehara +405
Over/under 1.5 rounds, over -160, under +135
After two years on the sidelines due to various injuries, bantamweight contender Michael McDonald is coming back to the octagon to face Japanese veteran Masanori Kanehara. This is a welcome back fight for McDonald, whose only UFC losses have come against Urijah Faber and former champion Renan Barao. A convincing win for the McDonald would move him off the prelims and into a matchup with another top-10 opponent.

Joe Duffy -240
Dustin Poirier +190
Over/under 1.5 rounds, over -140, under +120
It's surprising that a fight this good is relegated to the Fight Pass portion. Originally scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night in Dublin, Duffy and Poirier will finally square off for the chance to enter the lightweight division's top-12 or so. Duffy is an exciting prospect, a former pro boxer with very good mat skills, and a well-rounded opponent like Poirier will give us a very good idea of how far the Irishman can go in a crowded 155 division.

Justine Kish -270
Nina Ansaroff +225
Over/under 2.5 rounds, over -225, under +190
Strawweight Justine Kish makes her UFC debut against a mid-tier fighter in Nina Ansaroff. Kish, 27, is undefeated in four pro fights and has a notable win over the respected Randa Markos. While Kish was supposed to compete on TUF 20, she tore her ACL and was unable to participate in the season.

Scott Holtzman -165
Drew Dober +140
Over/under 2.5 rounds, over -220, under +185
The undefeated Holtzman steps in on late notice to face veteran Drew Dober. Holtzman is coming off a successful UFC debut in which he tapped out Anthony Christodolou this past August. He'll look to keep the momentum going against Dober, who's won just once in his past five outings. A pretty 10-0 record could put Holtzman put on the radar for more significant fights.
