Miranda Maverick

Angelo is very confident in Maverick, expecting her to come forward, get takedowns, and bully her way to a win similar to her last fight. He notes Young is a solid boxer but lacks takedowns in the UFC and has BJJ gaps. He calls Maverick a parlay piece and says the odds will be stupid wide, advising to bet early.

I think Maverick is a parlay piece even at the odds that she is now she's absolutely gonna win this fight I think these odds are going to be stupid stupid wide come fight night so I would hop on Miranda Maverick

Miranda Maverick

Big Brady recalls their previous fight where Maverick submitted Young in the first round in Invicta. He believes Maverick is the better striker and grappler, and Young's takedown defense is not enough to stop Maverick. He expects a repeat performance with a first-round submission.

Miranda Maverick

Cody picks Miranda Maverick, noting that she already finished Young in the first round in Invicta. He acknowledges that Young has improved since moving to Las Vegas and getting a win over Gina Mazany, but he doesn't see where Young wins. Maverick is more physical, has superior ground game, and is training with top competition. He predicts Maverick will submit Young, likely in the second or early third round. He is not excited about the -650 moneyline but likes Maverick by submission.

Connor Ruebusch Expert Confident picked Nov 3, 2022 (2 days before fight)
Miranda Maverick

Connor agrees with Zane, adding that Maverick is comfortable pressuring and converting clinch into takedowns. He notes that Shanna Young is a poor matchup for Maverick because she lacks the defensive wrestling to stop takedowns, and Maverick's recent improvements make this a gimme.

"I got nothing. I think you hit all the appropriate nails on their respective heads."

Miranda Maverick

The host is very high on Maverick, citing her improving skills, new gym (Elevation Fight Team), and superior ground game. He expects her to dominate Young, who is a decent striker but weak on the ground. He predicts a finish inside the distance and may bet the under 2.5 rounds if plus money.

Miranda Maverick

Paul agrees with Cody and is loading up on the 'fight doesn't go to decision' prop at -110. He notes that Maverick already finished Young in the first round, so he likes the prop over the moneyline. He thinks Maverick will get the job done inside the distance again.

The MMA Guru picks Miranda Maverick, calling her underrated and noting she clearly beat Maycee Barber. He highlights her training at Elevation Fight Team, age 25, and wrestling skills. He dismisses Shanna Young's win over Gina Mazany and believes Maverick will win a 30-27 unanimous decision, outclassing Young.

Miranda Maverick

Zane is confident Maverick will dominate, citing her pressure, clinch work, and takedowns. He notes that Shanna Young was easily controlled by Gina Mazany, and Maverick is a better athlete and grappler. Maverick's recent move to a new camp had a rough transition but looked better against Mazo, and Young will give her free rein to work her clinch and takedowns.

"Miranda Maverick is going to absolutely trounce Shanna Young. And that's all you need to know."

Cody thinks Mazany's improvements since the Cachoeira loss will show, and that Young's training situation (gym split, short camp in Vegas) is a red flag. He expects Mazany to control the fight.

Mazany's takedowns should be easy, and she can control the fight on the ground. He expects a decision win, as Mazany may not have submission skills but can grind out a win.

Paul thinks Young could win if she pressures and doesn't get taken down, but he has no interest in betting her due to her 0-2 UFC record and questionable training situation.

He expects a stand-up fight and thinks Mazany's reach will be key. He mentions a chin worry for Mazany but trusts her coaching with James Krause and at Extreme Couture. He predicts a close 29-28 decision.

He notes that Shanna is a solid boxer with decent power and good wrestling, but has gaps in BJJ. He acknowledges that Stephanie is capable of keeping opponents at bay and grinding against the cage, which could lead to a boring win for Egger. Angelo is not confident and says he has no bets on this fight, calling it a sloppy matchup.

He notes Young was submitted by Sarah Alpar, indicating poor grappling. Levi is not highly confident because the fight is low-level by UFC standards, but he expects Egger to grind out a win or get a submission.

I think Egger's grappling is the key here. Young got outmuscled by Macy Chiasson and has shown poor defensive grappling. Egger is a decorated judoka with good jiu-jitsu, and she should be able to get the fight to the ground and control it. I like Egger by submission at +500 or +600 as a prop, but the moneyline at -130 is also fine.

Gina Mazany

Cody picks Gina Mazany, believing she should win if she paces herself and uses her takedowns. He notes Young's poor takedown defense and lack of offense off her back. Cody thinks Mazany's improvements since the Cachoeira loss will show, and that Young's training situation (gym split, short camp in Vegas) is a red flag. He expects Mazany to control the fight.

Daniel Levi picks Gina Mazany but refuses to bet her at -180. He notes Mazany's wrestling and that Shanna Young is not UFC caliber, but highlights Mazany's history of mentally checking out and getting finished quickly. He calls it a pass.

Gina Mazany

The host picks Mazany, citing her grappling advantage and takedowns. He notes Young is green and makes bad decisions, while Mazany has improved cardio and training partners. Mazany's takedowns should be easy, and she can control the fight on the ground. He expects a decision win, as Mazany may not have submission skills but can grind out a win.

Shanna Young

Paul picks Shanna Young for the purposes of the show but says he won't bet her. He notes Mazany's poor cardio and tendency to gas, as seen against Priscila Cachoeira. Paul thinks Young could win if she pressures and doesn't get taken down, but he has no interest in betting her due to her 0-2 UFC record and questionable training situation.

"i'm gonna pick young for the uh for the purposes of this show but there's no way i get there from a betting perspective"

The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked Apr 25, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Gina Mazany

The Guru picks Gina Mazany, but is hesitant due to the low level of both fighters. He notes Mazany has better gym, more experience against higher-level competition, and a reach advantage. He expects a stand-up fight and thinks Mazany's reach will be key. He mentions a chin worry for Mazany but trusts her coaching with James Krause and at Extreme Couture. He predicts a close 29-28 decision.

Gina Mazany vs. Priscila Cachoeira

Round 1
In the first of three women’s flyweight tilts tonight, two women a few wins away from a .500 record come to blows, when “Danger” Mazany (7-4, 2-4 UFC) will try to be the danger against “Zombie Girl” Cachoeira (9-3, 1-3 UFC). A glove touch in front of referee Mike Beltran seals the cage, and Cachoeira slowly walks forward to put pressure on Mazany. She corks back a right hand and has her lead leg kicked. Cachoeira throws a few punches and a knee up the middle, but Mazany ignores them and connects with a solid left hand. Cachoeira fires back with her own left, forcing Mazany to try to take the fight down. The American gets it there by bouncing her foe off the fence, and she sits in half guard trying to keep Cachoeira from climbing up the wall. Cachoeira gets away with a few fence grabs to stand up, and Mazany hits a mat return as soon as the Brazilian fouls her way back to her feet. Mazany grinds her elbow on her opponent, and she winds up and lands one that Cachoeira does not like. Cachoeira’s neck and upper back are trapped in the corner between the ground and the fence, and she gets elbowed a few times while she sits up. Cachoeira looks frustrated as Mazany grinds on her, and ignores a few right hands that Mazany drops down as she pulls Cachoeira to the floor. The Brazilian gets to a knee and stands up, but she does take a knee to the body on the way up. Mazany keeps a tight clinch, but she cannot hold on to it as Cachoeira wants to slug it out. Both land a few big shots, and Mazany takes one on the chin before charging ahead to hit a clean takedown in the center of the cage. In half guard again, Mazany keeps her elbow either squeezed on Cachoeira’s chin or releasing it a few times. Mazany holds on tight, and Beltran asks them to work a few times as the action has turned into a relative stalemate. Mazany stays heavy with sporadic, minor left hands and elbows, and the round ends.

Round 2
The flyweights touch hands, and Mazany steps in with a front kick to the body. When Cachoeira wings a right hand, Mazany ducks it and scores a takedown less than 15 seconds into the round. Mazany squeezes with shoulder pressure as she is in half guard on the other side compared to where she ended the previous frame. The Brazilian kicks and bucks, but she is stuck with Mazany holding her down. Cachoeira rolls through, but Mazany follows her and takes her back. “Zombie Girl” continues to scramble, and she recovers her guard and closes it as Mazany lands a few strikes. Mazany postures up and nails Cachoeira with a right hand, and Cachoeira’s head bounces off the canvas emphatically. Mazany gets off a few hammerfists and a slashing elbow, and Cachoeira looks to Beltran to stand them up. Beltran intervenes to stand them up, and Mazany is irritated and suddenly showing some damage on her eye. Mazany backs off and throws a kick, and a subsequent telegraphed takedown is easily stuffed. Mazany gets cracked with a right hand, and she shoots in once more only to get stuffed. The Brazilian makes her pay big with a huge right hand, and Mazany is tired and hurt. Mazany’s takedowns are labored and she is wobbled and completely spent, and Cachoeira pushes her away and eats a body kick on the way back. Two right hands land flush from Cachoeira, and Mazany flails back and somehow connects.
Cachoeira tees off on her with a few more shots, and she is loading up and hurting Mazany and bloodying her up badly. Mazany bounces off the fence, and Cachoeira unloads with one final salvo.
Right after the 10-second clapper, Beltran has seen enough unanswered punishment and calls the fight by standing technical knockout. What a comeback for “Zombie Girl,” who has now earned her second win a row after starting her UFC tenure off with a trio of defeats.

Big Brady Expert Confident picked May 11, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Gina Mazany

Mazany should use her wrestling to take down Cachoeira, who has no striking defense and absorbs over 7.9 significant strikes per minute. Cachoeira is dangerous early and has a chin, but Mazany trains with James Krause and will likely grind out a decision. I recommend not betting at -210, but Mazany should win.

He notes Mazany looked improved in her last fight against Ostovich, using grappling effectively, but he worries about her durability and tendency to get hit. He fears that if Cachoeira lands cleanly, Mazany might shell up. He sees the stylistic matchup favoring Mazany's grappling but says he needs to see more before investing, predicting a decision win.

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Apr 27, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Gina Mazany

Cody picks Gina Mazany, believing she should win if she paces herself and uses her takedowns. He notes Young's poor takedown defense and lack of offense off her back. Cody thinks Mazany's improvements since the Cachoeira loss will show, and that Young's training situation (gym split, short camp in Vegas) is a red flag. He expects Mazany to control the fight.

"the play is genome is annie it's just how much how much could you really love it at the end of the day"

Gina Mazany

Daniel Levi picks Gina Mazany but refuses to bet her at -180. He notes Mazany's wrestling and that Shanna Young is not UFC caliber, but highlights Mazany's history of mentally checking out and getting finished quickly. He calls it a pass.

"gina's the pick at least she's won some ufc fights right ... you ain't getting me to lay close to [ __ ] minus 200 on gina mazzani in any fight"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Apr 28, 2022 (2 days before fight)
Gina Mazany

The host picks Mazany, citing her grappling advantage and takedowns. He notes Young is green and makes bad decisions, while Mazany has improved cardio and training partners. Mazany's takedowns should be easy, and she can control the fight on the ground. He expects a decision win, as Mazany may not have submission skills but can grind out a win.

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Apr 27, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Shanna Young

Paul picks Shanna Young for the purposes of the show but says he won't bet her. He notes Mazany's poor cardio and tendency to gas, as seen against Priscila Cachoeira. Paul thinks Young could win if she pressures and doesn't get taken down, but he has no interest in betting her due to her 0-2 UFC record and questionable training situation.

"i'm gonna pick young for the uh for the purposes of this show but there's no way i get there from a betting perspective"

The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked Apr 25, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Gina Mazany

The Guru picks Gina Mazany, but is hesitant due to the low level of both fighters. He notes Mazany has better gym, more experience against higher-level competition, and a reach advantage. He expects a stand-up fight and thinks Mazany's reach will be key. He mentions a chin worry for Mazany but trusts her coaching with James Krause and at Extreme Couture. He predicts a close 29-28 decision.
