Big Brady Expert Confident picked May 6, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Marcos Rogério de Lima

Big Brady likes de Lima's power and leg kicks, and thinks Greene's poor striking defense (45%) and chin issues will be exploited. He notes Greene has zero takedowns in the UFC, so he won't exploit de Lima's weak takedown defense. Brady predicts de Lima will win by first-round knockout, as de Lima is dangerous early but fades after the first round. He says the under and de Lima in round 1 are good looks, but he wouldn't lay -190 on the moneyline.

De Lima by first round knockout; under 1.5 rounds
"I'm gonna take delima to win by first round knockout i think the under could be a very good look."

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked May 6, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Maurice Greene

Daniel Levi picks Maurice Greene as a dog, citing de Lima's tendency to get submitted or panic on the ground. He notes Greene's length, volume, and opportunistic submission ability. He acknowledges de Lima's power and early-round threat but thinks Greene can survive and find a finish, possibly via submission. He calls de Lima a 'stunt machine' and expects a volatile fight.

"i'm gonna go with uh maurice green here to submit uh marcos"

Marcos Rogério de Lima

The host picks de Lima to win by TKO, expecting his power to be too much for Greene. He notes de Lima's poor cardio and jiu-jitsu but believes his power will get the job done early. He suggests live betting Greene if he survives the first round.

de Lima by TKO +120, fight won't start round 2 -150
"i think i would go with de lima by tko plus 120."

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked May 3, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Maurice Greene

The MMA Guru picks Maurice Greene over Marcos Rogério de Lima, expressing surprise that Greene is a nearly 2-to-1 underdog. He believes Greene's range management with oblique kicks and jabs will neutralize de Lima's counter-punching style. He predicts a unanimous decision win, possibly 30-27, and notes de Lima's only chance is a KO, which he doesn't see happening.

unanimous decision, 30-27
"i am 100 picking maurice green here ... i think people are really underrating him because he lost to greg hardy but greg hardy is not a bad heavyweight"

Greg Hardy

Big Brady favors Hardy's power and athleticism, noting Greene's poor striking defense and chin. He thinks Greene's kicks leave openings and that the smaller cage will lead to a knockout. He predicts a second-round KO.

"give me greg hardy to win by a second round knockout"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked Oct 26, 2020 (5 days before fight)
Greg Hardy

Hardy has power and has shown improvement in his last few fights, but his cardio is questionable. Greene is mobile and can chip away from distance, but his cardio also fades. Hardy likely wins by KO in the second round, but the -310 line is too steep.

Hardy wins by KO in round 2
"I still like greg hardy here i think it's gonna come down to the power... final pick greg hardy via second round ko"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jun 24, 2020 (3 days before fight)
Maurice Greene

Big Brady picks Maurice Greene, citing the size advantage (height and reach) and better cardio. He thinks Villante's power won't translate up a weight class, and that Greene will likely knock him out in the first round. He compares it to OSP vs Ben Rothwell. He advises against parlaying Greene due to trust issues but thinks a straight bet is fine.

Greene by KO in round 1; line too wide to bet straight; wouldn't parlay

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Jun 26, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Maurice Greene

Daniel Levi picks Maurice Greene, noting Greene's physical advantages (6'7", long reach) and improvement in using range. He mentions Greene's move to Jackson Wink for better training partners and elevation, while Villante is training in a garage with closed gyms. Levi thinks Villante is on the decline, with poor cardio and decision-making, and expects Greene to win by knockout or lopsided decision. He cautions that Villante has power early but Greene should weather it.

Greene wins by knockout or decision

Gian Villante

The MMA Guru picks Gian Villante as a live dog, believing he will get the jump on Maurice Greene. He notes Villante's wrestling fundamentals and training with Weidman's team, predicting a takedown and rear-naked choke submission in the first or second round. He criticizes Greene's recent losses and questionable activity outside the cage, suggesting Greene might not even show up due to COVID-19 concerns.

Villante by submission (rear-naked choke) in first or second round; Villante as underdog
"John Volante is gonna get the job done against Maurice Greene... works a basic takedown... wins probably by rear naked choke submission in the first or second round"

Aleksei Oleinik

Daniel picks Aleksei Oleinik via rear-naked choke finish, but admits he's been going back and forth on this fight. He notes that Oleinik has 40+ submissions and is a total badass, while Greene has power and length but questionable grappling. He says someone is most likely getting finished.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked Jan 15, 2020 (3 days before fight)
Maurice Greene

The host picks Maurice Greene to win by TKO, likely in the second round, but expresses low confidence, stating he doesn't trust Greene. He notes Greene's speed and footwork as advantages, but worries about Oleinik's jiu-jitsu and the possibility of both fighters gassing. He sees the fight as risky and is not planning to bet on it.

Fight doesn't go to decision at -675 considered too steep; over/under 1.5 rounds at -165 sketchy; Greene by TKO in second round predicted.

Sergei Pavlovich vs. Maurice Greene

Round 1
Back up to heavyweight, we get a "classic battle of Russia vs. the U.S.A." as Pavlovich (13-1, 1-1 UFC) collides with Greene (8-2, 3-0 UFC). Drawing the assignment for this 503-pound matchup is referee Herb Dean. Greene rushes out from his corner, and there is no touch of gloves as he throws two heavy leg kicks in rapid succession. Greene goes up top with a head kick, but Pavlovich blocks it in time, so Greene goes low with another kick. As Greene throws a naked kick, Pavlovich counters with a huge right hand over the top that staggers Greene. The American does this again, and again Pavlovich rings home a right hand that sends Greene crashing to the canvas. He does not appear to be hurt, as the punch may have been more impactful than damaging, as he gets right back up without any visible ill effects. Pavlovich sits on the counter, ready for Greene to throw those long kicks.
A serious left jab from Pavlovich snaps Greene's head back, and the Russian follows it up with a swarm of punches that do some damage. Although Greene survives, he is on wobbly legs, and Pavlovich pours it on with several more punches that make Greene topple over.
Dean stops the contest, and Greene immediately protests, and continues to do so loudly. His cries fall on deaf ears, as the fight is over and Pavlovich has recorded another knockout win -- the 11th in his 14 wins, and all in the opening round. He becomes the first fighter to finish the durable "Crochet Boss."

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Sep 23, 2020 (4 days before fight)
Juan Espino

Big Brady is confident in Espino, citing his strong wrestling and submission game. He thinks Espino will get the fight to the mat and finish quickly, as Hughes is low-volume and lacks power. He notes the submission prop is already priced in at +150 but considers Espino a fine parlay piece.

Espino by first-round submission (+150); parlay piece
"i'm gonna go with uh juan spino to get a first round submission here"

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Sep 25, 2020 (2 days before fight)
Juan Espino

Daniel Levi slightly leans Juan Espino because his biggest skill (grappling) is better than any of Hughes' skills, but he is worried about Espino's cardio if the fight goes past the first round and the layoff. He notes Hughes has good wrestling and durability but struggles to pull the trigger. He would not lay the chalk in this spot.

dog or pass
"i'm gonna slightly lean with espino just because i think that you know his biggest skill is better than any of hugh's skills but i would not be laying chalk in a spot like this"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked Sep 26, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Juan Espino

The host picks Juan Espino but is hesitant due to the two-year layoff and unknowns about Jeff Hughes' submission defense. He expects Espino to win by second-round submission, but prefers the over 1.5 rounds because Hughes is durable and tough. He notes that Espino's -300 price is too high for a fighter with ring rust.

over 1.5 rounds (-150), Espino inside distance (-115), Espino by decision (+280)
"I like the over one and a half here i am going to go with espino... second round submission i think he wears on hughes and then eventually gets to finish late in the second round."

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Sep 20, 2020 (7 days before fight)
Juan Espino

The MMA Guru picks Juan Espino, noting he won The Ultimate Fighter and beat Maurice Green. He thinks Espino will ragdoll Jeff Hughes due to being naturally bigger and more athletic, and predicts a submission win by arm triangle choke in the first round. He mentions Espino has been inactive due to injuries but is now returning.

Win by submission (arm triangle choke) in round 1
"i'm definitely going to be going with juan espino taking down jeff hughes by just being naturally bigger and more athletic man getting a job done by arm triangle choke in the first round by submission"
