Gun to my head, I'm going Gillespie and Cowboy.
But Cowboy is clearly not elite anymore and can't be trusted to stay in the fight if he ends up taking just a couple mean punches, I don't see him or Morono on the roster much longer. Morono struggles against sophisticated strikers who can mix it up and lacks the fight IQ to consistently win close fights at the highest level, neither guy is a bet you can really trust, but I'll go Cowboy because of veteran savvy, I don't think either guy will look too impressive during this contest, If there's a finish it'll be Cowboy getting dropped.
CDF vs Gillespie is a total crap shoot, Gregor is coming off a ridiculous layoff where he was last scene brutally KO'd by Kevin lee, and CDF is aging fast and hasn't show reliable defensive ability to save his chin. CDF's previous wins either haven't aged well or haven't had time to, he's due to have his chin cracked again for his reckless style. Gregor is better than he showed against Kevin lee, and I believe he was clearly winning the striking exchanges before he was KO'd. Gregor should control CDF fairly well during their grappling exchanges to stay out of danger, and should land the more accurate and damaging punches on the feet, but his layoff and age means he might not be anywhere near the guy he was a couple of years ago.
I'm staying away from both of those fights btw, None of those 4 can be trusted at the moment.
Some of my money makers this year have been Black Beast over Bladyes, Dustin over Conor, and Jan over Izzy. But I don't bet on every card, fights like those I'll stay away from.
