He points out that Green has been schooling tough opponents and that Gordon's lack of speed and power will be exposed.

Bobby Green is the better striker with a significant speed advantage. His takedown defense is good enough to keep the fight standing, where he can pick apart Jared Gordon with combinations.

He highlights Green's elite boxing, footwork, and ability to avoid takedowns, noting that no one has submitted him in the UFC.

Angelo picks Pimblett, believing he is the better striker and grappler. He notes that Pimblett outgrappled Jordan Leavitt, who was considered a better grappler.

He expects Gordon to be winning early with cage pressure, but Pimblett's speed and power will catch Gordon, leading to a scramble where Pimblett takes the back and chokes him out.
