Angelo picks Garrett, citing his busy striking, forward pressure, and good takedown defense. He expects the fight to look like Garrett's win over Brad Katona, where he outworks Brady on the feet and wins a decision. He notes Brady struggles with pressure and has not shown he can dominate wrestling or striking.
Cody picks Garrett Armfield, comparing him to last week's Ludovit Klein as a bettable favorite. He notes Armfield's improvement under Trey Ogden at Marathon MMA, his striking advantage, and his takedown defense. Cody believes Armfield can keep the fight standing and outbox Hiestand, who is one-dimensional and lacks activity. He expects a clear decision win for Armfield.
Daniel Vreeland has seen big improvements in Garrett Armfield's game, especially his head movement, boxing, and volume. He notes Armfield hurts everyone he fights with his right hand. He acknowledges Brady Hiestand's durability and grinding style but believes if Armfield keeps it standing, he lands the better shots and possibly gets a knockout or wins a decision.
Jacob picks Garrett but expects a close fight. He notes Garrett's low stance and reaction to faints could be exploited by Brady's overhand right. He thinks Garrett's striking should be enough to win a decision, but Brady's relentless wrestling could make it competitive. He believes Garrett has high fight IQ and knows how to win rounds.
Paul agrees with Cody, noting that he has backed Hiestand before and got lucky. He points out that Hiestand's takedowns don't lead to damage and judges are not rewarding control time anymore. Paul thinks Armfield can replicate his performance against Katona and win easily.
The MMA Guru picks Garrett Armfield by second-round TKO. He believes there is a massive boxing composure difference between the two, with Armfield being more composed and able to get back to his feet after takedowns. He notes Armfield's compact frame makes him hard to keep down, and that his win over Brad Katona has aged well. He expects Armfield to push forward and land punches on the feet for a TKO.

Angelo picks Kang as an underdog, citing his durability and grappling advantage. He worries about Kang's last performance but believes Batgerel may fade if he doesn't get an early stoppage, especially coming off a knockout loss. He notes Batgerel's speed and power are dangerous but thinks Kang can weather the storm and take over.
Big Brady picks Kyung Ho Kang as an underdog, citing his superior grappling and durability. He notes that Danaa Batgerel has poor takedown defense, as seen in his fight against Aletang Haili, and that Kang is a much better grappler. He expects Kang to take Batgerel down, control him, and grind out a decision, though he acknowledges Batgerel's power could lead to a knockout.
Cody picks Kang as an underdog, citing his wrestling and durability. He notes Batgerel's takedown defense is untested against grapplers and that Kang has a history of close decisions. He thinks Kang can grind out a win in Singapore.
Daniel Levi picks Danaa Batgerel but is not confident. He acknowledges Kang's scrambling and grappling skills but notes Kang's age and questionable fight IQ. He sees Batgerel's power as a game-changer and thinks if Batgerel can hurt Kang early, he can win. He is not betting the fight.
Batgerel has knockout power and should have the advantage on the feet. Kang is a grappler but has struggled to implement his game recently. If Batgerel keeps it standing, he can knock Kang out. However, I'm wary of picking slight favorites as it's a weak spot for me. I'll lean Batgerel but likely bet the under 2.5 rounds instead.
Paul picks Batgerel, believing his power striking will be too much for Kang. He thinks Batgerel's knockout power is real and that Kang's chin may not hold up. He is not fully confident but leans Batgerel.
The MMA Guru confidently picks Danaa Batgerel to win by first-round KO. He believes Kyung Ho Kang is past his prime, citing a loss to an older Rani Yahya. He praises Batgerel's physical strength and size for bantamweight, and notes that Kang's grinding grappling style won't be effective. He mentions Batgerel's cardio could be a concern in later rounds, but expects a quick finish. He calls it one of the locks of the card.

Angelo picks Batgerel but is hesitant because the fight is closer than the odds suggest. He notes Batgerel is a sniper on the feet with speed and power, and his scrambling ability allows him to get back up if taken down. Brandon Davis has a path to victory via wrestling and jiu-jitsu, but his takedown offense is just okay. Angelo believes Batgerel's speed and power on the feet will be the difference, but he sees value in Davis if his wrestling has improved.
Big Brady picks Brandon Davis as an underdog, citing Davis's size advantage, reach, and takedown ability. He notes Batgerel has power but weaker competition, and Davis can mix in takedowns as seen against Giga Chikadze. He expects a close decision win for Davis.
Cody picks Davis as a live underdog, citing his durability, cardio, and well-rounded skills. He notes that Batgerel is an explosive banger who has not fought past the first round in two years, while Davis has fought high-level competition and has a never-say-die mindset. He believes Davis can weather the early storm and take over as the fight goes on.
Daniel slightly leans with Batgerel because he has been more active in the UFC and handled lower-level opponents decisively. However, he sees Brandon Davis as a live dog due to his size (3 inches taller, 72-inch reach) and durability—Davis has never been knocked out. Daniel expects a competitive stand-up fight and suggests the line may be too wide, making it a dog-or-pass situation.
Davis has veteran savvy, a good chin (never KO'd), and a takedown advantage. Batgerel is a muay Thai striker but his overall MMA game is lacking, and Davis can mix in takedowns and submissions. Davis by decision is the main prediction, but a submission prop at plus money is also attractive.
Paul agrees with Cody, noting that Batgerel has zero takedown accuracy and is primarily a striker, while Davis is a well-rounded generalist who can mix in takedowns. He thinks Davis's durability and experience against tough opponents give him an edge.
The MMA Guru initially leans toward Danaa Batgerel but switches to Brandon Davis after reconsidering. He notes Davis's cardio, reach advantage, and ability to handle power, while questioning Batgerel's loss to Hiyala Teng. He predicts a third-round submission or decision win for Davis, but admits uncertainty.

Big Brady picks Batgerel to win by second-round knockout. He criticizes Natividad's striking defense, calling it awful, and notes that Batgerel is a powerful striker who can crack. He expects Batgerel to land a knockout, as Natividad has been knocked out in both his losses.
Cody also leans toward Batgerel but is not confident, noting his raw style and power. He thinks Natividad could have a wrestling advantage but expects Batgerel to win the striking exchanges. He passes on the -180 price.
Daniel leans with Danaa Batgerel due to his volume and recent knockout, but he agrees the line is too high and calls it a dog or pass situation. He notes that Kevin Natividad is a straightforward boxer with power and could catch Batgerel. He would not recommend laying -200 on Batgerel.
I really like Batgerel in this spot. He's a talented Muay Thai striker with power, and Natividad has shown durability issues, getting knocked out by Miles Johns. Batgerel should be able to stuff takedowns and wear on Natividad, eventually getting a TKO. I like Batgerel by KO at +245, and the fight doesn't go the distance at -115 is also a solid play.
Paul leans toward Batgerel, citing his aggression and power. He notes Natividad's poor UFC debut on short notice but expects him to look better. He thinks Batgerel's pressure and willingness to exchange will be key, but the -180 price is a pass. He sees Batgerel winning by KO or decision.
The MMA Guru picks Danaa Batgerel by first-round KO. He notes that Batgerel looks levels above his competition, while Natividad has scraped by cans and is coming off a KO loss. He believes Batgerel will finish him early.

Daniel picks Danaa Batgerel to win, but with caution. He notes that Cannetti is explosive in the first round but tends to fade if he faces adversity. He believes Batgerel can take over in the second and third rounds and win a decision, but it's contingent on him not getting badly hurt in the first.
Both fighters are aggressive strikers; Batgerel is more technical, Cannetti is a brawler. The fight likely ends inside the distance. The host prefers betting under 2.5 rounds at plus money rather than picking a side. He picks Cannetti by TKO but is not confident enough to bet the moneyline.
The MMA Guru picks Danaa Batgerel based on his better UFC record (6-2) and youth advantage over the 40-year-old Guido Cannetti. He notes Cannetti is smaller with less reach and questions why he is still fighting at his age. He expects Batgerel to get the job done with his Asian power moves.

Expert Picks (8)
Angelo picks Danaa Batgerel, noting his striking speed, volume, and power. He thinks Batgerel will dominate the striking and if taken down, he will scramble well to get back up. He expects Batgerel to win but is not betting yet, waiting to see line movement or possibly betting on a prop like over takedowns on Brady.
Big Brady picks Danaa Batgerel to win by first-round knockout. He notes that Batgerel has incredible power and that Hiestand is very hittable with poor striking defense, having been dropped and knocked out before. He believes Batgerel will land a big shot early and put Hiestand's lights out, as Hiestand's path to victory requires a perfect fight. Brady also mentions that Hiestand trains with Marab and is a 100% wrestling style, but his chin is a massive liability against Batgerel's power.
Cody picks Batgerel, citing his power, volume, and takedown defense. He notes Batgerel has knockout power and good cardio, and has fought at Jackson Wink. He criticizes Hiestand as one-dimensional with wrestling, lacking striking and submission offense. Cody believes Batgerel will stuff takedowns and win on the feet, possibly by knockout.
Connor picks Danaa Batgerel, noting that Hiestand has terrible striking and gasses quickly due to inefficient wrestling. He highlights that Batgerel is a devastating puncher with a good left hook and will put Hiestand on the back foot. Connor recalls Hiestand's knockout loss to Chad Anheliger as a template for how this fight could go.
Brady Hiestand is a strong wrestler with good control and a solid grappling base. He should be able to take Danaa Batgerel down and grind out a decision. Batgerel has power in his strikes but poor takedown defense and cardio. However, Batgerel has been training at Fight Ready and may have improved his wrestling defense. Hiestand may get clipped early but should recover and implement his game plan. Prediction: Hiestand by decision.
Paul also picks Batgerel, agreeing with Cody. He notes he will be adding money on Batgerel. He mentions the market is moving in Batgerel's direction, now minus 155. Paul had previously picked Hiestand as a dog in his last fights but sees this as a tough matchup for him.
The MMA Guru picks Danaa Batgerel to win by KO in the first round. He acknowledges Brady Hiestand's decent grappling but believes Batgerel's size and power will be too much. He thinks Hiestand's striking is not yet developed and that Batgerel can shut down takedowns for a round and then do damage on the feet. He expects a vicious first-round TKO finish.
Zane also picks Danaa Batgerel, agreeing that Hiestand is an unfinished product with poor striking and a tendency to gas. He notes that Batgerel is a hard puncher who will pressure Hiestand and put hands on him. Zane mentions that Hiestand's previous fights were against opponents who couldn't hurt him, but Batgerel can.
