Big Brady picks Gravely after initially leaning toward de Freitas. He notes Gravely's wrestling and takedowns will be key, and de Freitas' takedown defense is unimpressive. He worries about Gravely's submission vulnerability but thinks he can avoid submissions and win a decision.
Daniel picks Gravely, believing he is the stronger and more talented fighter with a Division I wrestling background. He notes that Gravely has a tendency to gas and give up his back, but thinks his training at ATT with good partners will help. He sees de Freitas as more basic and lacking adjustments, so Gravely should edge out a decision if he doesn't get submitted.
The MMA Guru picks Tony Gravely by submission, specifically a guillotine choke in the first or second round. He praises Gravely's grappling and scrambles, noting his experience in five-round fights. He acknowledges Geraldo de Freitas' cardio but believes Gravely will out-scramble him and latch up a submission.

Angelo picks Felipe Colares because he believes Colares's determination and forward pressure will overwhelm Chase Hooper. He criticizes Hooper's reliance on BJJ tricks without wrestling to get the fight to the ground, and notes that Colares is a black belt who can handle Hooper's jiu-jitsu. He also points out that Hooper crumbles under pressure, as seen in his last fight against Steve Peterson.
Big Brady picks Chase Hooper for the upset, citing Hooper's youth, size advantage (6 inches reach), and potential improvements after an 11-month layoff. He is not impressed with Felipe Colares as a -180 favorite, noting Colares' poor wrestling and striking. He expects a very close, competitive decision win for Hooper but is not betting this fight.
Cody leans Hooper as a live underdog, citing his size advantage (6'1" vs 5'8"), potential improvements after a year off, and Colares' susceptibility to being taken down. He thinks Hooper could use his length to grapple and control Colares, but acknowledges Hooper's poor striking and wrestling in the past. He is not confident but sees a path.
The host picks Felipe Colares to win. He mentions that Hooper's only path to victory is by submission, and he thinks Colares will be able to avoid that. He does not elaborate further but clearly favors Colares.
Paul does not give a clear pick. He says he can see the argument for Hooper at plus money but is struggling to get there. He notes Colares' grappling and Hooper's flaws.
The MMA Guru cannot pick Chase Hooper to win, citing his lack of strength and poor stand-up. He believes Felipe Colares is tough, durable, and knows how not to get finished. He thinks Hooper needs a finish to win but Colares is too tough to be submitted or knocked out. He predicts a unanimous decision for Colares, 30-27.

Big Brady picks Felipe Colares to win by submission in the third round. He notes that Luke Sanders is unreliable, often looking good before making a mistake and getting submitted, as seen in three of his four losses. Colares is a black belt in BJJ with excellent toughness and cardio, and Brady believes he can take Sanders down and exploit his questionable fight IQ. He also mentions Colares's youth and training camp shape as factors.
Cody picks Luke Sanders despite his history of blowing fights. He notes that Sanders has the skills: better striker and much better wrestler. He points out that Colares has poor takedown defense (34%) and low striking output (21, 23, 7 strikes in his three UFC fights). He thinks Sanders can march him down, beat him up, and cruise to a decision. However, he acknowledges that Sanders is untrustworthy and could do something stupid. He also mentions he bet under 2.5 rounds at +145, expecting Sanders to either finish or get finished.
Daniel Levi picks Felipe Colares to win by submission, specifically a guillotine choke in the second round. He notes that Luke Sanders tends to dominate fights but then gets caught in submissions or knocked out. Levi believes Sanders will dominate early but eventually get caught in a guillotine.
The host leans towards Colares due to Luke Sanders' tendency to make boneheaded mistakes and get caught. He notes that Colares has shown solid jiu-jitsu and durability, and he expects Sanders to have a 'banana peel moment' where he slips up. However, he is not confident, calling it a head-scratcher.
Paul picks Sanders, noting that the skills are there and the price is rare for Sanders. He mentions that Colares has a cast-iron chin and has never been knocked out, but his output is very low. He thinks Sanders can win a decision if he fights smart, but he is always worried about Sanders making a mistake. He also suggests live betting Colares after the first round if Sanders doesn't finish him, as Colares' durability could pay off.
The MMA Guru picks Felipe Colares over Luke Sanders, citing Sanders' recent poor performance and chin issues. He notes that Sanders took the fight on short notice and that Colares is the bigger fighter with a granite chin, having survived a beating from Montel Jackson. He predicts Colares will win a unanimous decision, 30-27, by jabbing and kicking from the outside, as Sanders is timid and unlikely to engage in a brawl.

Back to the men's bantamweight division, Jackson (8-1, 3-2 UFC) tries to make it three in a row in the UFC when he takes on fellow once-beaten Colares (9-1, 1-1 UFC). A first for recorded walkout music, Jackson walks out to the iconic "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. It's beautiful. Serving as the referee is Dan Miragliotta, who hopefully enjoyed the music as much as the crowd did. The two men touch gloves, and in opposite stances they paw at one another until Colares throws a low kick and then a body kick. Jackson fires back with a quick one-two, so Colares takes a moment to gather his thoughts before throwing another body kick and then an unusual one behind his legs. Colares whiffs on a head kick, Jackson throws back with punches but is more interested in the takedown. Although he sets Colares down briefly, the Brazilian returns to his feet where he nearly hits a trip. Jackson evades it and drags Colares down, while color commentator Daniel Cormier remarks that he and the bantamweight from Wisconsin have the same size hands. Jackson doggedly continues his pursuit of the takedown, and Colares takes a knee, eats a knee to the chest, and then stands back up. Jackson holds on tight, where he drags Colares down away from the fence. The Brazilian looks to threaten with a submission, so Jackson backs off and they stand back up. "Quik" pushes him against the cage, and as he considers another takedown, Colares attempts to jump guard and secure a guillotine choke. Jackson appears unconcerned, as he waits for Colares to get tired of holding himself up, and Colares lets go. Jackson again avoids a trip attempt, and makes Colares pay with a pair of elbows in the clinch and a big right hand. Jackson sees he might have him hurt, and begins chaining some ferocious punches together. Colares eats nearly a dozen punches flush, and he absorbs them all without wobbling. Colares ties him up, but Jackson shoves him off and unloads an insane barrage of punches. Colares finally appears hurt, but the horn sounds to save the Brazilian. "Cabocao" is cut up on several places on his face after the onslaught, and Jackson puts his hands on his knees after that rush.

Round 2
Colares comes out kicking, and Jackson steps back and fires a left hand that blasts Colares on the jaw. The Brazilian falls to his back, and "Quik" is quick to follow. Colares pursues a triangle choke and threatens from his back, so Jackson is forced to defend it and turns for the briefest of moments. Colares takes that moment to circle and take his back, although Jackson survives and stands back to his feet. Jackson still interested in the takedown, Colares jumps guard and pulls for a guillotine choke. Unlike the first round, Colares does not abandon it and instead holds tight as Jackson sets him down on the canvas. Colares tightens his grip and adjusts his position, but in that moment Jackson wrenches his neck free. Jackson stands up and his opponent follows suit, so Jackson presses the Brazilian against the fence and throws a few knees for good measure. Instead of breaking free to set up the strikes that proved greatly effective in these two rounds, Jackson scoops him up and sets him down. Colares walks up the cage to get up, and then throws Jackson down where the American lands right on his head. Unfazed, Jackson gets out of bad position, and stands back up. Jackson lifts him up and now throws his opponent on his head, but the Brazilian pops back up so Jackson opens up with a lengthy combination as if he were fighting Don Flamenco from “Punch Out.” Jackson tags him several times and busts him up, but Colares again manages to rely on his chin and not protect his jaw from strikes, leading Jackson to pressure and pull him down. The round ends with Colares pursuing a fruitless guillotine choke with no time remaining.

Round 3
The tale of these two fighters is starkly different, with Jackson's hands on his knees, visibly exhausted. Meanwhile, Colares is shouting and dancing and laughing, amping the crowd up. Jackson plods forward and throws a wild punch, leading the Brazilian to dodge it and nearly set up a spinning back elbow. Jackson maintains his forward movement and presses Jackson against the cage. The two push away from one another and begin to trade fiercely. This time, Colares shows a bit of success as he lands a few times, but Jackson still comes out having landed the harder, more accurate strikes. Colares goads him on, and manages to back Jackson against the cage wall where he clinches up and considers a takedown. Jackson thwarts it and hits an outside trip, where he lands in side control as Colares scrambles frantically. The Brazilian scoots his back to the fence and stands back up with it, while Jackson leans on him. Colares throws Jackson down, and briefly snatches up his back before Jackson spins out and returns standing. "Cabocao" takes a hard look at the clock, and then absorbs several punches that have him seeing stars. Another spinning back elbow attempt is well off the mark, leading Jackson to press in and go after another takedown. He lands it, and Colares grips tight for a guillotine choke. Colares grimaces as he squeezes with everything he has left, and Jackson rolls over to escape the worst part of the choke. Jackson stays calm and survives that Hail Mary choke attempt, all the while unofficially tying the record for the most takedowns landed in any UFC bantamweight fight with 11. This exciting, albeit one-sided bout is in the books, and Jackson surely impressed with this kind of performance.
