BI
Big Brady Expert Lean picked Jan 10, 2021 (6 days before fight)
Vanessa Melo

Big Brady picks Vanessa Melo as an underdog by split decision. He thinks Melo can stuff takedowns and has a slight edge on the feet. He notes that Moras' wrestling is bad and she has looked awful recently. He expects a close, ugly fight and doesn't see a finish.

"give me mello my split decision here"
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Hesitant picked Jan 12, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Sarah Moras

Daniel Levi is hesitant but picks Sarah Moras, though he warns not to lay chalk on her. He notes that Vanessa Melo has never been finished and has had short-notice fights, while Moras lost to Talita Bernardo. He sees it as a dog-or-pass situation but leans Moras due to Melo's weight issues.

"i'll take sarah moore ass but i mean do not do not lay chalk on sarah morris is all i got to say"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Jan 11, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Sarah Moras

Moras has more experience and a size advantage, with a good base and strength. She should be able to overpower Melo in the clinch and on the ground. Melo is on a three-fight losing streak and has poor striking defense, moving linearly forward. Moras is not a great striker but can grind out a decision. The line is too high to bet, but Moras is the likely winner. The fight is low-level, and Moras's experience should be the difference.

Moras by decision is the prediction; no bet recommended due to the price.
"i will go with sarah morass to win this fight via decision"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jan 9, 2021 (7 days before fight)
Sarah Moras

The MMA Guru picks Sarah Moras over Vanessa Melo, calling both fighters 'very very bad' but giving Moras the edge due to her size, reach, and slightly better technique. He believes Moras's physical advantages will be the tipping point in a low-level matchup.

"i think sarah morass looks a little bit more technical here and there in my opinion also i think she's pretty good and she's the way bigger girl against vanessa mello"

BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked May 11, 2020 (2 days before fight)
Sijara Eubanks

Big Brady is very confident in Sijara Eubanks, believing she has advantages everywhere including wrestling and striking. He thinks Eubanks will dominate from start to finish, possibly with a finish, and that Moras has poor takedown defense. He calls it Eubanks' easiest UFC fight and expects a dominant decision like 30-26 or 30-25.

Eubanks wins by dominant decision (30-26 or 30-25)
"I'm gonna go Eubanks I'm gonna take her to win a very very dominant decision 30 26 1325"
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked May 12, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Sijara Eubanks

Daniel Levi picks Sijara Eubanks via unanimous decision, citing her black belt and top control advantage. He notes Moras' poor takedown defense and reliance on armbars, but warns Eubanks must avoid getting swept or caught in a submission.

"imma goes to Jarrah eubanks via unanimous decision"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked May 6, 2020 (7 days before fight)
Sijara Eubanks

The MMA Guru picks Sijara Eubanks, but expresses disdain for both fighters, calling them 'sh*t'. He says Eubanks will win because she is the less bad option, but offers no technical analysis. He notes that both have poor records and don't deserve to be in the UFC.

"I think Eubanks is gonna win I don't care because they're both sh*t."

Cortney Casey

Big Brady is confident in Cortney Casey, criticizing Liana Jojua's poor striking defense, wrestling, and cardio.

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Nov 10, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Cortney Casey

Cody is betting against Jojua, not for Casey. He notes Jojua's poor performances and long layoff. He thinks Casey's volume and experience should win, but he's not confident because Casey is 9-9 and hasn't won in two years. He advises caution and checking weigh-ins.

"the pick will be courtney casey it's just i got to figure out what the trust level is like"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Nov 11, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Cortney Casey

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Nov 10, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Cortney Casey

Paul thinks Casey is far more skilled than Jojua, who has poor stand-up and is hittable. He expects Casey to win by volume and experience. He notes Casey's grappling is adequate and Jojua's only path is a submission, which is unlikely.

"casey gets the win i never want to back courtney casey at minus 235 but i think she's got her out gunned everywhere here"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Nov 13, 2021 (fight day)
Cortney Casey

The Guru picks Cortney Casey by submission (rear-naked choke) in the second round. He expects Casey to out-strike Jojua on the feet, then reverse a takedown attempt and secure the choke. Jojua's nose and eye will be bloodied from Casey's pressure and clinch work.

Miranda Maverick

Daniel Levi picks Miranda Maverick, stating she is better across the board and a hyped prospect. He notes that Jojua is an armbar specialist, but as long as Maverick avoids the armbar, she will win. He mentions that the line opened at -140 and has moved significantly, indicating Vegas may be on to something.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 19, 2020 (5 days before fight)
Miranda Maverick

The host picks Miranda Maverick, citing her youth, fight-to-fight improvements, and strong grappling. He notes that Jojua has poor takedown defense and was outmuscled at higher weight classes, but acknowledges that Jojua has value as a dog due to experience on Fight Island and underrated jiu-jitsu.

"i do believe that this fight should be lined closer but i am going to side with the maverick side here uh i do think she does end up getting the you know the better of the striking exchanges"

The MMA Guru Expert Lean picked Jul 12, 2020 (4 days before fight)
Diana Belbiţă

The Guru dismisses both fighters as terrible, but gives the edge to Diana Belbiţă due to her experience, size, and reach advantage. He criticizes Belbiţă's padded record but notes that Liana Jojua has not beaten anyone of note and lost to Sarah Moras. He ultimately picks Belbiţă because experience and physical attributes tend to matter in low-level matchups.

"the Annabelle Beach has more experience I'm just gonna go with that because neither of them at any good whatsoever and probably shouldn't be in the UFC but still they're in the UFC experience size reach tends to come in …"
