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.

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.

McKinney has a massive grappling advantage and will look to get the fight to the ground immediately. He is expected to take the back and secure a first-round submission, as he has done in all nine of his UFC fights. The fight is predicted to go under 1.5 rounds.

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.

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.

Cody picks Marc Diakiese, emphasizing his durability and wrestling. He notes Hadžović's only path is a puncher's chance, but Diakiese has a great chin. Cody thinks Diakiese will take Hadžović down at will and control the fight. He also likes Diakiese over 2 takedowns on PrizePicks.

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.

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.

Paul picks Marc Diakiese, citing his wrestling improvements and takedown ability. He notes Hadžović has poor takedown defense and has been taken down many times. Paul thinks Diakiese will stick to a wrestling game plan and easily get takedowns. He also likes Diakiese over 2 takedowns on PrizePicks.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Daniel is very confident in Moicano, citing his superior competition and skills. He thinks Moicano will dominate on the feet and on the ground, and predicts a first-round submission. He notes Hadžović is too slow and unathletic.
