Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Oct 20, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Jamie Pickett

Angelo is surprised Pickett is such a big underdog. He notes Pickett has a foot reach advantage and manages range well, and can mix in takedowns. He thinks Staropoli gets gun shy and is hit twice as much as he hits. He already grabbed a +3.5 bet on Pickett, meaning he only needs Pickett to win one round. He likes the more/more on the monkey knife fight (over 73.5 combined strikes).

Laureano Staropoli

Big Brady picks Staropoli as the more talented fighter despite a three-fight skid, noting his losses came against tough competition. He worries about Staropoli's size disadvantage and Pickett's 8.5-inch reach advantage, but believes Staropoli's skill edge will carry him to a close decision. He advises against betting this fight.

Cody believes Staropoli will win the numbers battle and likely take a decision, though he acknowledges the price is high. He sees Staropoli as a lower-tier parlay piece.

Laureano Staropoli

Paul leans towards Staropoli, noting that Pickett's best attribute was his durability, but that was shattered in his last fight. He agrees with Cody that Staropoli's forward pressure and volume should win the fight. However, Paul is not fully confident due to the price.

"that makes all the sense in the world and pickett's best thing what used to be his durability but that's kind of yeah i know"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Oct 17, 2021 (6 days before fight)

Laureano Staropoli

The MMA Guru picks Laureano Staropoli, noting that Staropoli is moving up to middleweight but is naturally a welterweight, which he believes makes him better than most middleweights. He points out that Jamie Pickett is coming off a KO loss and lacks quality wins, while Staropoli has faced tougher competition and is more technically sound. He predicts Staropoli will out-grapple Pickett and win by unanimous decision.

"i'm going to go with loreanos tripoli here i think it's a good pick i think he's way more technically sound than jamie picker and i can see him actually out grappling jamie pickett throughout this fight"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jun 1, 2021 (4 days before fight)

Roman Dolidze

Big Brady acknowledges Dolidze has zero fight IQ and is frustrating to bet on, but thinks stylistically this is a great matchup. He notes Dolidze has a significant size and reach advantage, and Staropoli is moving up a weight class with poor takedown defense (57%). He believes Dolidze will get takedowns and win a decision, though he warns against betting due to Dolidze's tendency to make mistakes.

"give me roman to lizzie for the win i'll take on the win by decision"

Cody Saftic Expert picked Jun 2, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Cody does not make a clear pick, calling it a dogger pass. He notes Dolidze's low volume and Staropoli's durability but is unsure. He mentions Staropoli's takedown defense issues but also Dolidze's poor fight IQ. He leans toward a pass rather than a bet.

"it's dogger pass but i'm leaning towards a pass here"

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Jun 3, 2021 (2 days before fight)

Roman Dolidze

Daniel picks Dolidze by close decision, citing Dolidze's positional grappling and clinch work as the difference. He notes that Dolidze has heavy punches, decent takedowns, and a good leg lock game, but also plays around too much and has a questionable gas tank. Daniel acknowledges Staropoli's edge on the feet and power, and that Staropoli might look better at 185. He sees this as a close fight and is not confident in his pick, expecting Dolidze to win via clinch exchanges and maybe a split decision.

"i'll take the leads a just by kind of being better positionally maybe clinching him a little bit but i i see it being a close fight man"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Jun 4, 2021 (1 day before fight)

Laureano Staropoli

Staropoli is a flashy striker with good cardio, while Dolidze has poor fight IQ and questionable cardio. Staropoli should out-strike him on the feet and win a decision, though Dolidze's size and grappling are concerns.

Staropoli by decision +255, fight goes distance -150

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Jun 2, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Laureano Staropoli

Paul leans toward Staropoli as a dog, citing his durability and output. He notes Staropoli trains with Charles Oliveira, has good submission defense, and has a solid chin. Paul is concerned about Dolidze's size and grappling but thinks Staropoli can get back up and outpoint him. He also likes the fight going the distance.

Roman Dolidze

The Guru picks Roman Dolidze, noting he has lost faith but thinks Dolidze is too big and strong for Staropoli, who is moving up on short notice. He expects Dolidze to outstrike Staropoli in round one and then cruise with grappling in rounds two and three, winning a decision. He thinks Staropoli lacks the cardio to come back.

Laureano Staropoli

Big Brady picks Staropoli, believing Means is on the decline after losses to Nico Price and Daniel Rodriguez. He notes Staropoli's high volume striking and questions Means' chin and motivation. He predicts a decision win for Staropoli, though a knockout is possible.

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Aug 7, 2020 (1 day before fight)

Laureano Staropoli

Daniel Levi leans with Laureano Staropoli, citing that Tim Means has a suspect chin and has been knocked out in recent fights. He notes that Staropoli is durable, as seen in his fight against Muslim Salikhov where he ate heavy shots. Levi acknowledges that Means is dangerous early with his dirty boxing and elbows, but believes Staropoli's durability and ability to weather the storm will allow him to win, possibly by decision or late finish.

"i'm gonna slightly lean with the favorite here"

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Aug 4, 2020 (4 days before fight)

Tim Means

Means is the better technical fighter with advantages in the clinch and jiu-jitsu. He is the bigger guy with a reach advantage. However, his durability is a concern after recent KO losses. Staropoli is a volume striker but lacks power. Means likely wins by decision if his chin holds up, but it's risky to bet on his durability.

"I like Tim Means to win this fight I think he's gonna get the better of the exchanges"

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Aug 3, 2020 (5 days before fight)

Laureano Staropoli

The MMA Guru picks Laureano Staropoli because he showed a good chin and gas tank in his last fight against Muslim Salikhov, coming back in the third round. He notes that Tim Means has had several KO losses recently and is at the end of his career. He also mentions that Staropoli has been in camp due to cancelled fights, so he should be prepared.

Muslim Salikhov vs. Laureano Staropoli

Round 1
To open up the main card, we are treated to a potentially thrilling matchup of two strikers as "The King of Kung Fu" Salikhov (15-2, 2-1 UFC) crosses paths with "El Matador" Staropoli (9-1, 2-0 UFC). The third man in the cage is referee Thomas Fan. The two men touch gloves, but neither man engage for the first 30 seconds. Suddenly, Salikhov bursts forward with a big right hand, and as Staropoli ducks out of the way, he tries to throw a spinning back fist. The crowd is not amused by their lack of engagement, so Salikhov tries to placate the masses with a spinning wheel kick that barely misses. Salikhov digs in a body kick, so Staropoli switches stances to not be open to that kick. The two men clash together with punches, and as they back away, Staropoli tries to throw a spinning wheel kick of his own but is nowhere near the target. A head kick is blocked just in time from Salikhov, and as Staropoli tries to fire back, Salikhov catches him with a right hand on the way in. Salikhov hammers a spinning back kick to the Argentinian's body, and then backs away to avoid a reply. Staropoli sneaks up a head kick that surprises Salikhov, and he follows that with a spinning back kick that Salikhov parries. As Salikhov comes in, Staropoli throws an unexpected spinning back elbow, but it does not land flush as Salikhov disengages. Salikhov fires a lightning-quick spinning wheel kick and Staropoli is just able to get out of the way in time. As he tries to go spinning kick for spinning kick with Salikhov, Staropoli is rarely able to land with these strikes while Salikhov is at least connecting in some capacity. The round ends, thereby setting a recent record for the most uses of the word "spinning" in a single round of Sherdog.com play-by-play.

Round 2
The second round opens with a ferocious spinning kick from Salikhov that lands right on the arm of Staropoli, whose forearm reddens immediately. Not to be outdone, Staropoli tries to load up with a spinning back first that Salikhov ducks. Staropoli nails Salikhov with a head kick, but the Russian eats it without issue and stoically nods at his opponent. As Staropoli tries to throw another high kick, he is blocked and falls to his back as Salikhov rushes in. Not wanting to deal with a prolonged grappling exchange, Salikhov backs away to unload a heavy body kick. As Staropoli tries to set up another spinning wheel kick, Salikhov is easily out of the way. The Argentine fighter throws a kick that gets caught, allowing Salikhov to throw his man to the cage floor. Staropoli gets up and takes a spinning back kick to the midsection. A huge right uppercut hurts Staropoli, and smelling blood, Salikhov is unleashing fire and fury in the form of hellacious punches and kicks. Staropoli manages to circle out of danger and survive, although a big mouse has immediately appeared under his right eye. Salikhov cracks Staropoli with a right hand, and although he takes it, the right continues to land for the Russian. Staropoli whiffs with another spinning back kick, and the horn sounds.

Round 3
One last touch of gloves opens the final stanza, and sensing he is down on the scorecards, Staropoli presses the pace with a bevy of punches until Salikhov closes the distance to clinch up. Staropoli breaks free and loads up on a right hand, but Salikhov has his guard up in time. The Russian digs to the body with a straight right, but he eats a right hook from Staropoli in the process. Salikhov pops Staropoli with a short right, and he follows that with a spinning wheel kick that buzzes the hair of his opponent. Salikhov blocks a spinning back fist, and the two swing wildly until Salikhov grabs hold of Staropoli and drags him down for a moment. "El Matador" pops back up and separates, landing two powerful punches to the body. Salikhov sinks in another spinning back kick to the body that would make Dennis Siver blush, but Staropoli absorbs it and tries to fire back with a spinning back elbow that is well short of the mark. As Staropoli winds up with a right hand, Salikhov is much quicker to stop the advancement, even throwing out yet another spinning back kick that lands flush. Staropoli scores a few more punches to the body, but his spinning strikes are nowhere near his intended target. He does land a head kick, but Salikhov catches it and thinks about a takedown before Staropoli backs off. Throwing with desperation, Staropoli gives everything he has into several looping hooks, but it is Salikhov that scores successfully with the counters until this fun fight comes to an end. This is the second time that Salikhov has ever reached the scorecards, but he should take home a clear-cut victory.

Jim Miller vs. Thiago Alves

Round 1
Miller walks forward throwing punches and has his head pulled down for a knee. The New Jerseyan starts finding his mark with punches shortly afterward, then catches a kick on the shoulder and uses it to run Alves to the floor. Alves scoots backward to the fence, Miller in his half guard. Miller catches Alves trying to stand and tries to take the Brazilian’s back, but he’s prevented by the fence. Alves whips around and quickly scrambles to his feet, and the fighters split with 80 seconds on the clock. Alves goes to the body with a right kick, answered in kind by Miller on the left side. Miller plunges down the center with a straight left, then denies Alves’ attempt at a Thai plum by running him to the wall. Alves gets the last word with a straight right hand.

Round 2
The fighters keep their distance through the first minute of round two. Alves scores with a few leg kicks as he works from the center of the cage, working Miller around the outside. Miller shoots for a long single-leg, sprawled on by Alves, who works back to his feet with just over three minutes left. Miller shoots again and completes the takedown this time, quickly passing to half guard and working toward side control. Miller looks like he’s framing up an arm-triangle choke, but he switches to a guillotine setup as Alves begins to work his way up the fence. Alves slips free and marches forward on Miller with one minute left, hitting the local favorite with a kick to the body. Miller gets hold of a leg but can’t complete the takedown this time. Alves marches forward again and walks into a short standing elbow, then a right hand. Miller eats a shot, too, and returns to his corner with a bloody nose and a small cut near his left eye.

Round 3
Alves looks to be gaining some steam as he presses forward on Miller in the opening minute of the final round, stringing together a few punches and low kicks. His momentum is halted, however, when Miller times a kick and shoots forward, plowing Alves to the canvas in the center of the cage. Miller sits up in Alves’ half guard and works to advance while Alves tries to stand. Halfway through the round, Alves powers back to his feet, thwarting Miller’s attempted back-take in the process. Miller catches Alves coming in and hits the Brazilian with a hard left kick to the ribs, then a straight left hand. Alves gets in one kick of his own before Miller shoots and floors him with yet another takedown. Straight to half guard goes Miller, now with 90 seconds on the clock. Alves rolls to his knees, then onto his back again when Miller tries to take the back. Miller stands and grabs a guillotine, then drops to guard, but he quickly flips back to top position when Alves pops his head free. The clock is ticking down with Miller in half guard, now north-south position as Alves kneels. Miller tries the guillotine again and winds up on his back with Alves dropping punches for the final 20 seconds.
