Emily Ducote

Angelo picks Emily Ducote confidently, noting she is better than her UFC record suggests and that Ashley Yoder is returning after two years off. He thinks Ducote's volume and durability will be key, but he is not touching the -270 moneyline, hoping the line tightens.

Emily Ducote

The host picks Emily Ducote, expecting her to use a calf-kicking approach similar to her debut against Jessica Pen. He notes Yoder's long layoff and shoulder surgeries, and believes Ducote's striking and pressure will be too much. He predicts a decision win, possibly a KO, and suggests parlaying the moneyline.

TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Oct 10, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Emily Ducote

The MMA Guru picks Emily Ducote over Ashley Yoder, citing Yoder's poor record (8-8 in UFC, on a 2-fight losing streak, lost 4 of last 5) and long layoff of over two years. He acknowledges Ducote is also on a losing streak but notes she fought tougher competition (Angela Hill, Lupita Godinez) and is younger. He dismisses the matchup as a question, implying Ducote should win easily.

"obviously gonna have to go with Emily dakot here over Ashley Yoda Ashley Yoda is 8 and eight in the UFC on a two- fight losing streak"

Big Brady Expert Lean picked Jul 27, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Ashley Yoder

Big Brady picks Ashley Yoder, citing her size advantage and higher volume. He notes that Frey throws very few strikes (averaging 24-26 per fight) and that Yoder can win by simply being more active. He also thinks Yoder's grappling could be effective. However, he calls it an ugly fight and is not highly confident.

"i'll take yoder this is as low level as it gets but yeah i'll take uh ashley yoder to win by decision"
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Jul 28, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Ashley Yoder

Cody picks Ashley Yoder, believing her wrestling and top control will be the difference. He notes that Frey has poor takedown defense and Yoder should be able to secure takedowns and control the fight. However, he is not fully confident because Yoder's striking is lacking and if she cannot get takedowns, she could lose a low-volume striking match. He calls it a 'dog or pass' spot.

"i think that yoder does get the takedowns i think you you watch that k hanson fight and and those takedowns should be there for a wrestler of yoder's ability"
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Hesitant picked Jul 31, 2021 (fight day)
Ashley Yoder

Levi notes that he doesn't often recommend backing Ashley Yoder as a favorite, but here she is the bigger and better grappler. He believes Yoder can get takedowns more comfortably and spend time on top, edging out a competitive decision. However, he warns that if Yoder decides to test her stand-up, Frey could have success, as Yoder's striking is not as dangerous as de Paula's. Levi credits Frey for beating de Paula but thinks Yoder's grappling-heavy approach should secure the win.

"I think that she can get the takedowns a little bit more comfortably here you know spend a little bit more time on top"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Jul 30, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Jinh Yu Frey

Frey has a bounce-back win over de Paula and should have success if she grapples with Yoder. Yoder is a black belt but lacks volume and strength. Frey's striking is adequate, and she can win scrambles. However, Frey is a natural 105er moving up, which is a concern. The fight likely goes to decision, and Frey at plus money is the side.

Frey by decision +200
"I'd rather have the plus money side... genu fry to win by decision at plus 200"
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Jul 28, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Ashley Yoder

Paul also picks Ashley Yoder, citing her size and strength advantage and the likelihood that she can grind out a decision. He notes that Frey is a natural atomweight and has poor grappling. However, he is concerned about Yoder's recent regression and the fact that this fight likely goes to decision, making judging a factor. He is not confident enough to bet but leans Yoder.

"i got to go with yauter as well and the main thing here is that y'all has had nine fights in the ufc all nine of them have gone to decisions"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jul 26, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Jinh Yu Frey

The MMA Guru picks Jinh Yu Frey over Ashley Yoder, stating that Frey is more solid as a martial artist while Yoder relies on physical attributes. He notes that Frey has a more solid foundation and is fundamentally better. He expects Frey to win by unanimous decision, as she is more experienced and technically sound.

Frey by unanimous decision
"i'm gonna go with jinyu fray here over ashley yoda... i think she's just solidly a bit more fundamentally better"

Angela Hill

Big Brady picks Angela Hill, citing her significant striking advantage (nearly 6 significant strikes per minute vs Yoder's 2.8). He notes Hill has improved her takedown defense, stuffing takedowns from Michelle Waterson and Claudia Gadelha. He expects Hill to dominate on the feet and win a decision, though he is not betting at the current price (-380).

Daniel Levi Expert Hesitant picked Mar 12, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Angela Hill

Daniel Levi picks Angela Hill but warns against laying -400 on her, as all her fights are close. He expects a split decision and notes that Ashley Yoder could potentially submit Hill if she gets on top. He recalls their first fight where Hill won, but advises caution due to Hill's tendency to make fights close and her questionable claims of beating top fighters.

"You cannot lay minus 400 on angela hill she cannot be trusted all her fights are too close"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Mar 2, 2021 (11 days before fight)
Ashley Yoder

Lock will bet Yoder if she's above +300, as a half-unit stab. He thinks the odds are too twisted in Hill's favor. He notes Yoder was at +310/+320 before the fight was previously scheduled. He doesn't elaborate much on reasoning, indicating it's a value play based on line movement.

half unit stab, only if above +300

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Mar 7, 2021 (6 days before fight)
Angela Hill

The Guru is extremely confident in Angela Hill, calling it 'guaranteed money.' He notes Hill's improved takedown defense and technical striking, while criticizing Yoder's lack of technical ability. He expects Hill to outstrike Yoder by double in significant strikes each round and win by unanimous decision, 30-27. He mentions Hill already beat Yoder before and will do so more impressively this time.

"this is guaranteed money on the card in my opinion i don't see any way that angela hill loses this one to ashley yoda"

He notes that Granger has not shown enough in her UFC fights, struggling against Hannah Goldie and being blown out by Amanda Lemos. He believes Yoder has a grappling edge and can win a close decision, especially if the fight goes to the third round where Granger's cardio is questionable.

Ashley Yoder

The MMA Guru picks Ashley Yoder, but with low enthusiasm, calling women's MMA annoying. He thinks Yoder's reach and kicks will allow her to out-strike Granger on the feet for three rounds, possibly earning a split decision. He notes that Granger hasn't beaten anyone good and lost to Amanda Lemos by submission, while Yoder fought close with Livia Renata Souza.

Split decision; mentions Yoder's kicks and reach advantage

Livinha Souza

Daniel Levi picks Livinha Souza to win. He believes Souza is the tougher fighter and will win the extra scrambles when both are fatigued. He notes that Yoder has a history of folding in gritty fights and doesn't utilize her length well. He also mentions that Souza has better boxing and jiu-jitsu, and that Yoder's path to victory requires a perfect performance.

Ashley Yoder

Yoder has the reach and height advantage, decent takedown defense, and is crafty on the ground. Souza has been reversed and put in compromising positions in past fights. Yoder can keep the fight on the feet or hold her own on the mat. The fight will be close and likely go to a decision; Yoder is the value side at plus money.

AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked Jul 31, 2022 (6 days before fight)
Cory McKenna

Angelo picks Cory McKenna but expresses hesitation due to Miranda Granger's long layoff. He likes McKenna's pressure, pace, and grappling, believing her takedowns will be the difference. However, he notes that if the fight stays on the feet, Granger could outwork McKenna similar to how Elise Reed did. The uncertainty of Granger's improvements during her time off tempers his confidence.

"I like corey here i love her pressure i love her pace but again you just don't know what you're gonna get with someone when they've been off for a year and a half"
BI
Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Aug 2, 2022 (4 days before fight)
Cory McKenna

Big Brady picks Cory McKenna but expresses hesitation due to her poor fight IQ in her last fight against Elise Reed, where she chose to strike instead of wrestling. He notes that McKenna has a significant reach disadvantage (9.5 inches) and that Granger has solid striking. However, he believes McKenna's wrestling is good and if she implements a smart game plan of takedowns and top control, she should win. He predicts a decision victory.

decision win prediction
"i'm gonna pick corey mckenna to go out here hopefully fight a smart game plan hopefully get this down to the mat"

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Aug 3, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Cory McKenna

Cody also leans toward McKenna, noting that she should have wrestled more in her last fight. He mentions that Granger has poor takedown defense and a reach advantage, but McKenna's wrestling should be enough. Cody is concerned about McKenna's low ring IQ and hopes the loss taught her to wrestle earlier.

McKenna over 1.5 takedowns (suggested)
"I think she wins but I'm a little bit scared off... she's 23 years old... limited ring IQ."
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Aug 3, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Miranda Granger

Daniel Levi leans Granger as a dog, noting her size (5'7", 68" reach) and two-year layoff could mean improvement. He hasn't been impressed with McKenna's UFC performances and thinks Granger could win if she's improved. However, he admits both fighters need work and advises not tailing.

"I'll call it a dog or pass situation and take Granger but both these ladies need a lot of work"
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Aug 3, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Cory McKenna

Paul leans toward McKenna but is scared off by the price after she burned him last time. He notes that McKenna's wrestling should be the path to victory, but she didn't use it enough against Elise Reed. Paul thinks McKenna is young and improving, but her ring IQ is questionable. He still picks her for the show.

McKenna over 1.5 takedowns (suggested)
"I'll pick her for the purposes of the show... I think she should be landing takedowns but I'm scared off by the price."

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Aug 1, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Miranda Granger

The MMA Guru picks Miranda Granger as an underdog, disagreeing with the majority. He criticizes Cory McKenna's wins over Kay Hansen and Vanessa Demopoulos, and her loss to Elise Reid. He notes Granger's size advantage (5'7" vs 5'3", 68" reach vs 58.5") and believes Granger will be too strong in grappling exchanges. He also mentions Granger's two-year layoff and prime age of 30.

"i'm picking the underdog of miranda granger here... cory mckenna lost to elise reid and that shouldn't happen"

He notes that Granger hasn't beaten anyone good and lost to Amanda Lemos by submission, while Yoder fought close with Livia Renata Souza.
