Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Apr 16, 2023 (6 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

No bet yet, considering prop bets like over takedowns on Brady.
"Dena's gonna be the pick here... no bet just yet I'm gonna watch that line movement."

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Apr 18, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

"give me the not back hurry I'm going to take him to win by first round knockout I think his power is going to give a very hittable and green Brady he's stand a lot of problems"

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Apr 19, 2023 (3 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

"I gotta go with uh back Curry I think to get the job done he just seems like he's got a little more in his toolbox"
CO
Connor Ruebusch Expert Confident picked Apr 20, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

"I really instantly favor Dana here because, uh, as much as, I mean, I think he himself has had some issues with gassing out, but he's a lot more directed in what he wants to do."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked Apr 17, 2023 (5 days before fight)
Brady Hiestand

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.

"I fully expect him to to get clipped early in this matchup but I'm hoping that his reactive response... is quick enough for him to get in on a double leg drag the fight back to the ground... grinding this …"

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Apr 19, 2023 (3 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

"beckery Dena is the pick for me as well I'm gonna be adding some money on Bakery Dena"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Apr 18, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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 Simon Expert Confident picked Apr 20, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

"I think he's going to, he's going to pressure him. He's going to put hands on him."

Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Jun 5, 2022 (7 days before fight)
Kyung Ho Kang

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.

"i'm going to go kang he is a very very durable guy and i think dana might get frustrated if he doesn't get that stoppage early and then tired after the first round"
BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jun 6, 2022 (6 days before fight)
Kyung Ho Kang

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.

Danaa Batgerel

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.

"pure pick I'll just go with the not bad Gary"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Jun 10, 2022 (2 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

Under 2.5 rounds (+100)
"I'm more so on the batgerel side here as long as he can keep this fight in the standing position he should be able to really touch up kong on the feet."
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Jun 8, 2022 (4 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

"backery is my my pick but again they're not matching them up the way i want them to match up"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jun 6, 2022 (6 days before fight)
Danaa 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 Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked Oct 13, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

Brandon Davis

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.

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.

DA
Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Oct 14, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

"i'm gonna slightly lean with the knob back gary just because he's been more active inside the ufc's octagon"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 12, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Brandon Davis

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.

Davis by decision +275, Davis inside distance +365, Davis by submission (hoping for +800 or better)

Brandon Davis

He predicts a third-round submission or decision win for Davis, but admits uncertainty.

Danaa 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.

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.

Daniel says from a betting perspective there's a certain price limit, and he thinks it's accurately lined. He calls it a pass.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Mar 5, 2020 (2 days before fight)
Guido Cannetti

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.

Under 2.5 rounds at +102 to +110.
"I'd rather bet the under two and a half which is probably what I'm gonna do as long as I get that plus money on it."

Danaa Batgerel

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.

"I'm going with Dana Batgirl I think he's gonna get a job done Asian power moves are EV love EV"

Leomana Martinez

Angelo picks Leomana Martinez, citing his cleaner technique, power, and heart shown in the Ronnie Lawrence fight. He notes that Brandon Davis has a wrestling advantage and took Giga Chikadze down three times, but Mana showed incredible resilience and never stops coming forward. He trusts Mana to fight for the win.

"I gotta go with Mana here because of that cleaner technique and I know that if he gets into trouble he's not going to stop"

Big Brady picks Leomana Martinez to win by first-round knockout. He highlights Martinez's power (finished all regional wins in the first round, knocked out Ricky Turcios) and notes that Brandon Davis was knocked out in his last fight and has been hurt before. He believes Davis's takedown threat is minimal and that Martinez's power will be too much. He calls Martinez the more dangerous striker.

Leomana Martinez

Cody picks Martinez but is not confident. He notes Martinez has huge power and a nasty left hook, and could knock Davis out. However, he acknowledges Davis is a volume puncher and could push the pace. He thinks Martinez might win by knockout but is not willing to bet heavily.

"I'm gonna take Mana Martinez I got a feeling that he might even be able to knock about but I'm not going to get greedy."

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Oct 11, 2022 (4 days before fight)
Leomana Martinez

Martinez is the better striker with power, and his cardio has improved. Davis has suspect takedown defense and could be a live underdog if he gets the fight to the mat. However, Martinez's takedown defense is a concern; if he can keep it standing, he should win by knockout. The host is not betting the moneyline but likes Martinez inside the distance at +240.

"I'm leaning towards the dog with you right now... Brandon Davis dog number four I think he can hopefully push a pace on Mana."

Danaa Batgerel

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.

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Oct 14, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 12, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Brandon Davis

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.

Davis by decision +275, Davis inside distance +365, Davis by submission (hoping for +800 or better)

Expert Picks (7)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked Oct 13, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

plus 3.5 points on Brandon Davis, Brandon Davis wins inside distance/decision no action, less more on monkey knife fight
"I gotta go with dana as the pick but there is some real value with brandon davis if you think he's been working on that wrestling"
BI
Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Oct 11, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Brandon Davis

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.

by decision
"i'm actually gonna side with the dog again in terms of a pick and brandon davis to upset the knob backer"
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Oct 13, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Brandon 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.

"i'm gonna go with brandon davis as another underdog selection"
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Oct 14, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

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.

"i'm gonna slightly lean with the knob back gary just because he's been more active inside the ufc's octagon"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 12, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Brandon Davis

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.

Davis by decision +275, Davis inside distance +365, Davis by submission (hoping for +800 or better)
"i like his veteran ability to come in there and give a guy like tanabat grill some issues... i think that ace in the in his back pocket is that takedown and i do believe he will be successful in at least maybe one two or three of them"
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Oct 13, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Brandon Davis

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.

"i could definitely see brandon davis pulling off the upset here"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked Oct 12, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Brandon Davis

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.

third round submission or decision win
"i'm going with brandon davis to beat dang the batgirl because it's staring me in my face and every time i ignore these urges i lose"
