Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Jan 26, 2025 (6 days before fight)
Terrance McKinney

Angelo picks Terrance McKinney despite his unreliability, citing his superior talent, wrestling, and striking. He notes that Damir Hadžović is older (38) and not as dangerous. He worries about McKinney's cardio and chin but believes he should win early. He suggests looking at round props rather than betting the moneyline at -335.

Suggests looking at round line (under 1.5) and prop bets.
"Terence mckin should win I'm picking Terence mckin to win I'm hoping these odds Titan though betting on Terence mckin at minus 335 is the the plot of a nightmare"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jan 27, 2025 (5 days before fight)
Terrance McKinney

Big Brady sees this as an easy matchup for Terrance McKinney, who has great wrestling and BJJ. Damir Hadžović has the worst takedown defense in the UFC and has been submitted before. Brady thinks McKinney will take him down and submit him in the first round, though he notes McKinney has terrible cardio if the fight extends. He predicts a first-round submission.

Marc Diakiese

Angelo picks Marc Diakiese, noting he is the far better striker and coming off an impressive grappling win. He highlights Diakiese's power, leg kicks, and durability, while Hadžović is an okay striker with wins over fighters no longer in the UFC. He loves a Diakiese and Nathaniel Wood parlay.

Marc Diakiese

Big Brady picks Marc Diakiese to win by decision. He notes Diakiese has a clear path: take down Hadžović, who has terrible takedown defense (37%) and suspect cardio. Diakiese showed he can wrestle for 15 minutes in his last fight. He expects Diakiese to control the fight with takedowns and win a decision.

Daniel Levi picks Marc Diakiese, citing his wrestling and ability to grind out wins. He notes that Diakiese has a good blast double and can find ways to win, as long as he doesn't get too flashy. Levi also mentions that both fighters have calf kicks, but Diakiese's wrestling should be the difference. He hasn't forgiven Hadžović for a previous loss and sees limited improvement.

MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jul 20, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Marc Diakiese

Diakiese is a safe spot. He can grapple or strike with Hadžović, who is a one-dimensional brawler. Diakiese should take a smart approach, get takedowns, and win. Even on the feet, he can hold his own.

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jul 18, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Marc Diakiese

The MMA Guru picks Marc Diakiese to win by KO. He notes Diakiese has shown grappling improvements and is still a good fighter. Hadžović is simple and fundamental on the feet, lacking finishing ability against decent opponents. Diakiese's unorthodox style will give him trouble, and he expects a KO statement.

Yancy Medeiros

Angelo picks Yancy Medeiros, noting that Medeiros has made big life changes by moving back to Hawaii and reinvesting in his career. He acknowledges Medeiros's aggressive style, good takedown defense, and competence on the ground, but also notes he is finishable. Angelo is less confident this time around compared to the first booking because he doesn't know what Medeiros has been doing since the fight was rebooked. He still leans Medeiros but is not as strong as before.

He notes Hadžović's power and 77% finish rate, while acknowledging Medeiros's volume and reach advantage.

Medeiros has fought a who's who and has the durability to survive early power shots. Cody thinks Medeiros can outwork Hadžović over three rounds. He also mentions that this fight was scheduled four weeks ago and Hadžović pulled out, which is a positive for Medeiros.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jun 24, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Damir Hadžović

Hadžović is a powerful striker with good combinations. Medeiros has decent jiu-jitsu but his takedowns and grappling aren't good enough to keep Hadžović down. On the feet, Hadžović will land the more impactful shots and likely finish Medeiros in the second round via TKO. Medeiros is wild and loopy, while Hadžović is more technical.

Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Angelo picks Yancy Medeiros, noting that Medeiros has made big life changes by moving back to Hawaii and reinvesting in his career. He acknowledges Medeiros's aggressive style, good takedown defense, and competence on the ground, but also notes he is finishable. Angelo is less confident this time around compared to the first booking because he doesn't know what Medeiros has been doing since the fight was rebooked. He still leans Medeiros but is not as strong as before.

"i really love the auntie medeiros the first time jacob i think you you were with me on that train the first go-around has your mind changed are you still all about yancey in this fight or are you going …"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jun 22, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Damir Hadžović

Big Brady picks Damir Hadžović to win by knockout, citing Medeiros's poor 46% striking defense and three knockout losses. He notes Hadžović's power and 77% finish rate, while acknowledging Medeiros's volume and reach advantage. He expects a standing fight since Medeiros rarely wrestles, and predicts a first or second round KO.

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Cody picks Medeiros as a dog, citing his experience, reach advantage, and output. He notes Hadžović has poor takedown defense and is one-dimensional. Medeiros has fought a who's who and has the durability to survive early power shots. Cody thinks Medeiros can outwork Hadžović over three rounds. He also mentions that this fight was scheduled four weeks ago and Hadžović pulled out, which is a positive for Medeiros.

"i'm gonna go with the dog play on yancey all right and hope he doesn't get caught early"

Jacob Lines Expert Lock picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Jacob picks Yancy Medeiros as his lock of the week, citing 'Hawaiian tough' and his friendship with the Diaz brothers as reasons for confidence. He believes Medeiros will be hyped up and ready to go. Jacob does not provide detailed technical analysis but is very confident in the pick.

"block of the week nancy medeiros i always talk about hawaiian tough i'm putting my money where my big mouth is and i'm making hawaiian tough the lock of the week"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jun 24, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Damir Hadžović

Hadžović is a powerful striker with good combinations. Medeiros has decent jiu-jitsu but his takedowns and grappling aren't good enough to keep Hadžović down. On the feet, Hadžović will land the more impactful shots and likely finish Medeiros in the second round via TKO. Medeiros is wild and loopy, while Hadžović is more technical.

Yancy Medeiros

"i would go with the underdog auntie maduro so again uh you know this is a card underdogs are going to come through"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Feb 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Daniel Levi picks Yancy Medeiros to win by unanimous decision or third-round submission. He believes Vannata is a lost cause with a fragile chin and poor fight IQ, while Medeiros has the Hawaiian spirit and will take over after the first round. He notes Vannata's tendency to gas at the 7-minute mark and not check kicks.

Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Angelo picks Yancy Medeiros, noting that Medeiros has made big life changes by moving back to Hawaii and reinvesting in his career. He acknowledges Medeiros's aggressive style, good takedown defense, and competence on the ground, but also notes he is finishable. Angelo is less confident this time around compared to the first booking because he doesn't know what Medeiros has been doing since the fight was rebooked. He still leans Medeiros but is not as strong as before.

"i really love the auntie medeiros the first time jacob i think you you were with me on that train the first go-around has your mind changed are you still all about yancey in this fight or are you going uh going the other way"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jun 22, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Damir Hadžović

Big Brady picks Damir Hadžović to win by knockout, citing Medeiros's poor 46% striking defense and three knockout losses. He notes Hadžović's power and 77% finish rate, while acknowledging Medeiros's volume and reach advantage. He expects a standing fight since Medeiros rarely wrestles, and predicts a first or second round KO.

by KO, first or second round, line a bit wide
"i'm gonna take the mirror hazardous side i'm gonna take him to win actually by knockout i think he knocks out antsy medeiros"

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Cody picks Medeiros as a dog, citing his experience, reach advantage, and output. He notes Hadžović has poor takedown defense and is one-dimensional. Medeiros has fought a who's who and has the durability to survive early power shots. Cody thinks Medeiros can outwork Hadžović over three rounds. He also mentions that this fight was scheduled four weeks ago and Hadžović pulled out, which is a positive for Medeiros.

"i'm gonna go with the dog play on yancey all right and hope he doesn't get caught early"

Yancy Medeiros

"block of the week nancy medeiros i always talk about hawaiian tough i'm putting my money where my big mouth is and i'm making hawaiian tough the lock of the week"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jun 24, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Damir Hadžović

Hadžović is a powerful striker with good combinations. Medeiros has decent jiu-jitsu but his takedowns and grappling aren't good enough to keep Hadžović down. On the feet, Hadžović will land the more impactful shots and likely finish Medeiros in the second round via TKO. Medeiros is wild and loopy, while Hadžović is more technical.

"I think that has [__] will be able to kind of pretty much out point him and really land the much more impactful shots on the feet... I'm picking hats of each to win this fight and i actually think that ahaz beach could finish him"

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Paul leans toward Medeiros but is not confident. He notes Medeiros' durability has been compromised by wars, but he has a reach advantage and experience. He thinks Hadžović has power but is one-dimensional. Paul is not sure about Medeiros' chin but thinks the dog price is worth a shot.

"i would go with the underdog auntie maduro so again uh you know this is a card underdogs are going to come through"
