Angelo picks Mickey Gall, reasoning that Gall is a good grappler in his own right and a better wrestler than Brahimaj, so Brahimaj won't submit him. He notes that Brahimaj is submission-or-bust and that Gall has raw talent and athleticism. However, he advises against betting on this low-level fight due to Gall's poor recent record.

Big Brady picks Mickey Gall despite calling it a low-level fight. He notes that Ramiz Brahimaj has 10 wins, all by first-round submission, and is 0-5 when he doesn't submit his opponent in the first round. Brady believes Gall has improved striking and better cardio, and that the longer the fight goes, the more it favors Gall. He also mentions Brahimaj's long layoff and poor performance in his last fight, predicting a decision win for Gall.

Cody picks Mickey Gall, arguing Brahimaj is a fraud with poor striking and wrestling. He notes Brahimaj's only wins are against low-level opponents, and Gall has improved and has better striking and comparable grappling. Cody expects Gall to win by decision or TKO.

Connor picks Gall because he thinks Gall is more dynamic and might be able to hurt Brahimaj. He notes that Gall's striking has improved significantly, though he still has many holes. Connor acknowledges that Brahimaj could out-wrestle Gall, but he leans toward Gall's power.

Daniel Vreeland reluctantly picks Mickey Gall, citing Brahimaj's poor performances when he doesn't get early submissions. He notes Gall's durability and activity, despite his technical flaws. He acknowledges Brahimaj's submission threat but doubts his ability to execute. He calls it a 'reluctant' pick.

Fox does not make a clear pick for this fight. He mentions Vreeland's pick but does not state his own opinion.

The host acknowledges both fighters are flaky but leans with Gall's overall advantages. He notes Brahimaj is dangerous in grappling but so is Gall, and expects Gall's Viking pressure to eventually break Brahimaj and win on the scorecards.

Paul picks Ramiz Brahimaj, citing his BJJ and the plus money. He notes Gall has lost to everyone decent he's faced, and Brahimaj has a chance if he can get the fight to the ground early. Paul is not confident but likes the underdog value.

The MMA Guru hesitantly picks Mickey Gall, despite acknowledging Gall's poor UFC record. He criticizes Ramiz Brahimaj's performances, calling him 'terrible' and noting his ear injury loss to Max Griffin. He expects a close decision win for Gall.

Angelo picks Bassil Hafez because he showed well on short notice against Jack Della Maddalena and should be better with a full camp. He notes Mickey Gall has been away for two years with surgery and his development is uncertain. He expects Hafez's grappling and pace to be too much, though he worries the odds might become too wide to bet.

Cody picks Hafez but is hesitant due to the -350 price. He notes Hafez looked good against Della Maddalena but that was on short notice. Cody worries about Hafez's cardio and the possibility of Gall catching a submission. He thinks Gall may have improved during his two-year layoff. Cody plans to keep Hafez low on parlays and warns of buyer beware.

Daniel dismisses Gall's back-taking as not elite and thinks Hafez's physicality will prevail. He expects Hafez to take Gall down and avoid giving up his back. He says he'll never pick Gall again.

The host sees Hafez as the stronger, more powerful fighter who can win wherever the fight goes. Hafez's wrestling and top control should overpower Gall, and his striking is also a threat given Gall's defensive lapses. Gall's submission threat is noted, but Hafez's strength and improved cardio management should lead to a finish inside the distance.

Paul picks Hafez, calling him a hard-nosed wrestler with good grappling. He notes Hafez gave Jack Della Maddalena fits in his debut and has never been finished. Paul believes Hafez's style is terrible for Gall, who is a submission specialist but not a good wrestler or striker. He thinks Hafez will take Gall down and control him. Paul was hoping for a better line but still likes Hafez.

Angelo leans Mickey Gall due to his experience and better wrestling/BJJ. He thinks Gall's wrestling is better than Malott's and his BJJ is also superior. He expects Gall to win a decision, but acknowledges Malott is dangerous and a better striker.

Big Brady picks Mike Malott to win by first-round TKO. He likes Malott's striking power and black belt BJJ, but notes his chin is a concern as he has been knocked out before. Gall has power and submission ability but poor cardio. Brady thinks Malott's better cardio and tools give him the edge, and expects an early finish.

Cody leans towards Gall as a live underdog. He notes Malott's history of gassing after the first round and his questionable chin. Cody thinks Gall's BJJ is good enough to neutralize Malott's grappling, and that Gall's striking has improved. He believes if Malott doesn't finish early, Gall can take over in later rounds.

Levi respects Mickey Gall for surviving and learning in the UFC against tough competition. He criticizes Mike Malott's cardio and tendency to freeze when pressured, noting Malott has only three minutes of octagon time in seven years. He believes Gall can crowd Malott, throw combinations, and use his grappling to win. He thinks the line should be a pick'em, so at plus money he is betting Gall.

I really like Malott in this spot. He has great striking and jiu-jitsu, and being at 170 should help his durability. He is the better striker and jiu-jitsu player. I think he will land a club and sub or get a finish inside the distance. Gall has been inconsistent and Malott should run through him.

Paul picks Malott but is hesitant, noting Malott's long layoffs and questionable cardio. He acknowledges Gall's BJJ and experience, and that Malott's chin might be suspect. Paul thinks Malott's wrestling and size could be enough, but warns that Gall is live if the fight goes past the first round. He calls it a 'ride or die' pick.

Angelo picks Morono as the more well-rounded fighter, better everywhere. He notes Morono's striking, wrestling, and grappling are superior, and that Gall's takedown accuracy is low. However, he acknowledges Gall showed improvement in his last win, so the line is too wide for a bet.

Big Brady picks Alex Morono to win, likely by decision. He notes Morono's well-rounded skills, experience against good competition, and superior striking output (5.14 sig strikes/min). He points out Mickey Gall's wins are over lower-level opponents and that Gall's primary path to victory (submission) is unlikely against Morono, who has never been submitted and is a BJJ black belt. Brady suggests Morono could make it look easy if he wrestles, but even on the feet he favors Morono.

Cody also picks Gall, noting his narrative of improvement and that he just received his BJJ black belt. He thinks Gall's grappling could be the difference, but admits cardio is a concern. Cody is tentatively picking Gall but not with high confidence.

Daniel Levi picks Alex Morono to win, citing his experience and being better across the board. He notes that Morono is a seasoned vet with close to three times the pro fights of Gall, and that he can beat Gall up standing and avoid attacks on the mat. He acknowledges Gall's improvements but thinks Morono is still a level above.

Jacob picks Mickey Gall as an upset, calling him the backup lock of the week at +180. He believes Gall will shoot takedowns aggressively and control on top, noting Morono doesn't want to grapple. Jacob thinks Gall's aggression from the Jordan Williams fight carries over.

I like Morono. He has better cardio and output, and he should overwhelm Gall as the fight goes on. Gall has poor cardio and is a finish-or-bust fighter. Morono is durable and can grapple as well. I expect Morono to finish Gall in the second or third round. The inside the distance prop at plus 265 and round three at plus 1300 are both appealing.

Paul picks Gall as an underdog, citing his grappling improvements and recent win over Jordan Williams. He thinks Gall's BJJ and striking have improved, and that he can take Morono down and control him. Paul worries about Gall's cardio but believes he can win the first two rounds.

Angelo picks Jordan Williams because he thinks Mickey Gall is not very good and that Williams is the better MMA fighter. He notes that Gall's only notable win is over CM Punk. He expects Williams to win by outstriking Gall, though he acknowledges that if Gall wrestles heavily, he could win a decision. He has no bets on this fight due to too many unknowns.

Big Brady picks Jordan Williams to win by knockout. He highlights Williams' takedown defense (88%) and power, expecting him to stuff Gall's takedowns and keep the fight standing. He notes both fighters are hittable but Williams is the better striker with volume and a good chin. He expects Williams to be a big welterweight cutting from 185 and to finish Gall, who has been stopped by strikes before.

Cody picks Williams, citing his power and durability. He notes Williams has been fighting bigger guys at middleweight and should have a striking advantage. He is concerned about Williams' weight cut due to diabetes but expects him to be fine. He thinks Gall's cardio and striking are suspect.

Daniel Levi picks Jordan Williams to finish Mickey Gall, citing Williams' hunger, preparation, and power. He notes that Gall's submission threat is overrated and that Williams is more physical and a better wrestler. Levi criticizes Gall's cardio and tendency to flop when tired, while Williams pushes through fatigue. He predicts Williams will set up his shots and knock Gall out.

Jacob picks Mickey Gall because he believes Gall is more talented on the ground and has good submissions. He notes that Jordan Williams has cardio issues due to being a type 1 diabetic, which could affect him in the fight. He expects Gall to shoot takedowns repeatedly, wear Williams down, and find a submission. He has Gall in his DraftKings lineup.

The host leans toward Jordan Williams, citing his power and durability. He notes both fighters have cardio issues but believes Williams' toughness and ability to push forward will be key. He mentions Gall's improvements but questions his cardio. He likes the over 2.5 rounds and Williams by decision as a less confident play.

Paul also picks Williams, noting his heart and durability. He criticizes Gall's career as a sideshow and his one-dimensional grappling. He expects Gall to win the first round but fade, while Williams' forward pressure will take over. He assumes the weight cut goes well.

Big Brady picks Mike Perry despite concerns about Perry's personal life (girlfriend cornering him). He believes Perry's wrestling and strength will neutralize Gall's takedown attempts, and that Perry's superior competition and power will lead to a first-round knockout. He notes that Gall's only path is getting Perry down, which he thinks is unlikely.

Daniel Levi picks Mickey Gall for the upset, citing Perry's chaotic personal life, lack of coaching, and stagnation in skill development. He notes Gall's improvement in his last fight against Salim Touahri, showing better fight IQ and cardio. Levi believes Gall's jiu-jitsu black belt and submission threat could catch Perry if he overextends. He acknowledges Perry's strength and clinch game but thinks the line is too wide and Gall has a chance to submit him.
