Angelo leans on Norma Dumont, calling her the far cleaner striker. He acknowledges that her takedown defense is worse than it should be and fears some MMA karma from her last decision win. He notes that Joselyne Edwards does a good job sneaking in takedowns but doesn't like pressure. He believes Dumont's hands are much better and she will stay more mobile.

Big Brady picks Norma Dumont over Joselyne Edwards (referred to as Josiane Nunes). He believes Dumont is better everywhere, with takedown ability, clinch work, and striking. He notes Edwards' wins are against lower-level competition and expects Dumont to win by decision, though the money line is getting high.

The host believes Dumont should win as she is better everywhere: more technical striker, better MMA grappler. Edwards has an advantage in cardio but is on short notice and has bad fight IQ. Dumont can be passive but Edwards has similar issues. The host sees no interesting betting opportunities in fight spreads or over/under.

James picks Norma Dumont as his Hammer of the Week, calling it a 'levels fight' despite the -200 price. He argues Dumont is better everywhere: striking, wrestling, and grappling, with superior competition and fight IQ. He notes Dumont is the best boxer in the division and can stuff takedowns, while Edwards has only beaten low-level opponents and lacks a plan C when her A and B fail. James expects Dumont to win via decision, as finishes are rare in women's MMA at this level.

James picks Norma Dumont, believing she is a level above Edwards with superior boxing. He thinks Edwards' path via takedowns is unlikely due to Dumont's takedown defense and Edwards' inconsistent wrestling. He predicts a decision win.

Angelo picks Joselyne Edwards, believing she won the first fight and will win the rematch the same way via pressure, wrestling, and control. He dismisses the previous decision as a homer French decision and expects a fair outcome this time. He notes Edwards' improved takedown defense and offense.

Big Brady picks Joselyne Edwards to defeat Nora Cornolle, citing Edwards's recent finishing streak and improvement training with Valentina Shevchenko. He notes this is a rematch and that Edwards clearly won the first fight, taking Cornolle down eight times and nearly submitting her. He believes Edwards has leveled up since then and will dominate on the ground again, predicting a second-round submission. He criticizes Cornolle's performance against Carola Hosea, where she was nearly finished multiple times.

Cody thinks Edwards has improved significantly, finishing her last three fights. He notes she outgrappled Cornolle in their first fight and expects her to be more aggressive this time. He thinks Cornolle is older and hasn't improved much.

Connor picks Cornolle but notes it's a thin fight. Edwards could win a questionable decision if she banks top time, even without offense. However, if Edwards strikes like she did against Cashaware, things could change. Connor is not confident but leans Cornolle due to the first fight.

James picks Joselyne Edwards with ease, believing she should have won the first fight and has improved since. He notes that Edwards dominated Cornolle with grappling in their first bout and has better striking now. James expects Edwards to win decisively, possibly by finish.

Edwards is on a three-fight winning streak with all finishes, and she has improved her grappling and confidence since training with Valentina Shevchenko. In the first fight, she gave up position but now she is more aggressive and should land more damage. Cornolle struggles with wrestling and is 36 years old. Edwards should dominate on the ground and get a submission.

Paul agrees, calling the first fight a robbery. He thinks Edwards is bigger, faster, and stronger, and that her recent finishes show she's more aggressive. He expects Edwards to win by decision or late finish.

The MMA Guru picks Joselyne Edwards in the rematch, reasoning that Edwards' stand-up has improved while Cornolle's defensive grappling hasn't. He notes that Cornolle struggled with similar styles like Cavalcanti and that Edwards has been getting first round TKOs. He expects Edwards to mix in takedowns and win a 29-28 decision.

Angelo picks Joselyne Edwards as a technical striker with good kickboxing and range management. He notes Priscila Cachoeira is a powerful brawler with heavy pressure but gets hit a lot. Angelo thinks Joselyne's ability to shoot takedowns and manage range with kicks will get her the win, but he doesn't love the 2-to-1 odds and may only bet if odds tighten.

Big Brady is confident in Joselyne Edwards, noting her recent improvements training with Valentina Shevchenko. He highlights Edwards' takedown ability and ground game, which he believes will exploit Cachoeira's lack of takedown defense and submission defense. Brady expects Edwards to fight smart, take the fight to the ground, and find a submission. He predicts a third-round submission for Edwards.

The host notes Edwards' growing confidence and back-to-back finishes, expecting her to take a grapple-heavy approach to avoid Cachoeira's berserker striking. He predicts a submission victory under two and a half rounds.

Angelo picks Joselyne Edwards because she is the better fighter overall, with superior kickboxing, range management, and improving takedown defense. He notes that Chelsea Chandler is enormous and strong but slow and lumbering, and he doubts she can simply overpower Joselyn. He mentions that Joselyn was -190, then -210, now -220, and he has her in a parlay.

Big Brady is confident in Joselyne Edwards, citing her striking advantage and Chelsea Chandler's tendency to be a punching bag. He notes Edwards' takedown defense has improved, though she has been taken down in the past. He expects Edwards to stuff takedowns and win a decision, as Chandler is not a threat on the feet.

The host acknowledges Chandler's physicality but believes Edwards' technical advantages will allow her to land combinations and head kicks from distance, leading to a decision win.

Angelo is high on Joselyne Edwards, praising her kickboxing, range management, and grit. He acknowledges her takedown defense is a weakness but thinks she can keep the fight standing by using leg kicks to slow down Tamires Vidal's pressure. He notes Vidal's striking is almost non-existent and she has lost to BJJ specialists recently. He believes Edwards can dance around on the outside and pick Vidal apart, making Edwards the pick. He also sees the over 2.5 rounds as safe.

Big Brady picks Joselyne Edwards by third-round TKO. He criticizes Vidal's quit in previous fights, poor cardio, and durability. He believes Edwards is better everywhere and can finish Vidal, possibly due to a quit job. He notes Edwards often goes to split decision but expects a finish here.

Connor agrees with Zane, picking Edwards. He notes that Edwards is a better athlete and has an instinct to get back when someone has success against her. He thinks Vidal is a bully who doesn't want to try hard and will likely lose to Edwards' size and power.

This fight was not discussed in the transcript.

Edwards has the technical striking advantage over the slugger Vidal, but a grapple-heavy approach could open up a submission opportunity. Edwards will defeat Vidal inside the distance.

The Guru flips a tin of multivitamins to decide but ultimately picks Joselyne Edwards based on her experience and wins in the UFC. He notes Vidal is huge for the weight class but hasn't proven she is good. He considers Edwards rangy and closer to her prime.

Angelo picks Ailín Pérez to win due to her relentless wrestling and forward pressure, despite her sometimes sloppy control on the ground. He thinks Joselyne Edwards is underrated and has good kickboxing and improved takedown defense, but believes Pérez's wrestling will be the difference. He plans to bet on Edwards plus 3.5 and over 2.5 rounds as prop bets.

Big Brady thinks Ailín Pérez will be under the radar. He expects her to wrestle, get multiple takedowns, control time, and ground strikes. He notes Joselyne Edwards struggles with getting taken down and held down. He does not see a finish but expects a solid score at low ownership.

Cody picks Pérez but is hesitant, noting she slowed down in the third round against Lucie Pudilova and took damage. He expects Pérez to get early takedowns and control the fight, but worries about her cardio. He thinks she will win by decision but is not confident enough to add her high on parlays. He acknowledges Edwards' fights are close and could go either way.

Daniel notes Edwards has improved but still gets reversed. He thinks Pérez's relentless takedown attempts will be enough if Edwards makes a mistake. He reluctantly picks Pérez but says it's dog or pass.

The host expects Pérez to exploit Edwards' poor takedown defense and grind out a decision. Pérez's strength and top control should neutralize Edwards' volume striking, and Edwards' lack of finishing threat late in fights allows Pérez to survive her own cardio issues. The grudge match may add emotion, but Pérez's discipline and physicality should prevail.

Paul picks Pérez, citing her physical strength and top pressure. He notes Edwards' fights are always close and go to decision, and she lacks volume and power. Paul believes Pérez will initiate takedowns, control the clinch, and win a decision. He mentions Pérez's win over Stephanie Egger and her grappling credentials. He expects the New Jersey crowd to favor Pérez's aggressive style.

Angelo picks Nora Cornolle as an underdog, liking her aggression and ability to come forward. He notes Joselyne Edwards has no takedown defense and doesn't know what to do on the ground. The only concern is Nora's cardio, as she's only seen the third round once. He thinks Nora can get the win if she works in takedowns.

Big Brady is hesitant but picks Cornolle, citing Edwards' poor takedown defense and get-up game. He notes Cornolle's grappling threat and the hometown advantage in Paris. However, he acknowledges Edwards has faced better competition and that Cornolle's level of opposition is low. He expects a close, greasy decision.

Cody picks Edwards based on experience (6 UFC fights) and volume. He notes Cornolle has a Muay Thai background but has fought low-level competition. Edwards lands high volume (164 strikes vs Pasquale, 101 vs Kim) and is strong in the clinch. However, the fight is close and could be subjective; Cody expects a decision and likes the over 2.5 rounds. He is not confident due to potential French judge bias.

Daniel Levi picks Joselyne Edwards, citing her experience, volume striking, and size advantage. He notes that Edwards has outstruck every UFC opponent except one and that Cornolle is a 33-year-old debutant who turned pro in 2021. Levi believes Cornolle's level of competition has been very low and that Edwards should be able to outpoint her. He is not confident enough to bet but leans Edwards.

I'm leaning with Edwards. She has good lateral movement and kicks to keep Cornolle at range. Cornolle is aggressive but has shown vulnerability when hit and may have cardio issues. Edwards has improved takedown defense and should be able to keep the fight standing. I expect Edwards to win by decision.

Paul picks Edwards but won't bet the fight due to judge uncertainty. He likes Edwards over 67.5 significant strikes on prize picks, noting she has cleared that number in multiple fights. He expects a striking affair and thinks Edwards' volume will be enough.

Angelo picks Joselyne Edwards based on her range management and volume striking. He notes that Edwards is a good kickboxer who uses range well, and her 63% takedown defense should ward off Pudilová's takedown attempts. He expects a boring fight but sees Edwards winning with volume and distance control. He is super confident in her but probably won't include her in a parlay.

Big Brady picks Joselyne Edwards as a dog, citing her striking volume and improved takedown defense. He doubts Lucie Pudilová's wrestling, which she only showed in her last fight, and doesn't trust her as a favorite. He expects Edwards to win by decision, but is not betting on the fight.

Cody notes Pudilová has improved her grappling and wrestling, and her aggression and volume should overwhelm Edwards. He thinks Edwards' pitter-patter striking won't be enough. He likes Pudilová by decision.

Connor picks Pudilová because he likes a newly controlled fighter who relies on her reach intelligently. He notes that Pudilová has takedowns and Edwards is a bad wrestler. He acknowledges that Edwards is powerful and the fight could get chaotic, but thinks Pudilová's experience in crazy fights will help.

Pudilová's improved grappling and BJJ will be key against Edwards, who struggles when taken down. Edwards relies on kicks and distance, but Pudilová is a good enough striker to close the distance and get takedowns. Pudilová's submission defense and top control should allow her to grind out a decision. She has evolved her game since returning to the UFC.

Paul agrees, noting Pudilová's improved grappling and the fact that Edwards' wins are over low-level competition. He thinks Pudilová's aggression and takedowns will secure a decision.

The MMA Guru leans toward Lucie Pudilová, citing her improved grappling and overall development since her return to the UFC. He notes Edwards' striking volume but thinks Pudilová's X-factor of potentially using grappling could edge a close decision. He calls it a close fight and says the line is accurate.
