Jimmie Rivera
Big Brady picks Jimmie Rivera to win by decision. He highlights Rivera's 92% takedown defense and speed advantage. He notes Munhoz is extremely hittable, absorbing more strikes than he lands, and that Rivera will outvolume him. He thinks Munhoz needs a finish to win, but Rivera has only been knocked out once and Munhoz has never been finished. He mentions Rivera is in his prime and has lost only to top competition. He likes the moneyline at -150 and considers a decision prop.

Daniel Levi picks Jimmie Rivera, but with hesitation. He notes Rivera is the cleaner striker and historically does well in decisions, while Munhoz has more finishing potential. Levi worries about Rivera's chin but thinks if it goes to the scorecards, Rivera edges it. He acknowledges Munhoz's power and calf kicks but leans Rivera by decision.
"If this goes to the scorecards i got jimmy rivera if this ends inside the distance however that's where i would kind of lean towards pedro... i'll go with jimmy to slightly edge a decision here"

Jimmie Rivera
Rivera is a Muay Thai specialist with superior footwork and striking technique. Munhoz is a walking punching bag who marches forward, but Rivera's calf kicks and combinations should outclass him. Rivera's takedown defense is strong, and Munhoz's only chance is a knockout, which is unlikely given Rivera's durability. Expect a decision win for Rivera.
Rivera by decision at +120
"i really really like jimmy rivera here again the only real knock on his fight ... is if he knocks out jimmy rivera"

He notes Rivera is now in his prime while Munhoz is past his, and expects Rivera to outbox Munhoz over three rounds, winning a unanimous decision 30-27. He mentions Munhoz's only chance is a knockout, but Rivera is aware of that threat.
"i'm definitely going to be picking jimmy rivera to get the job done here i think he's improved more than pedro munoz"

Almeida walks forward with a high kick that is easily slapped away, and when he wades forward, O’Malley nails him with a right hand. O’Malley gets off a kick and is out of the way before Almeida can return fire. A few jabs from O’Malley keep Almeida at bay, although Almeida does get off his own calf kick. O’Malley lands to the body with a spinning back kick, and he lands a few punches as he starts to brawl with the Brazilian. Almeida lands some powerful strikes that makes O’Malley back off, and “Thominhas” dodges a wicked right hand. O’Malley knees the body as Almeida closes the distance on him, and Almeida pays it no mind as he throws big shots. Almeida shrugs off heavy punches to try to throw bombs, but O’Malley is accurate and sharp as he picks away at an advancing Almeida. The Brazilian lands a stern calf kick that makes O’Malley turn around, and “Sugar” comes back at him with a fierce right hand. O’Malley scores a big right hand, and his opponent falls to the ground spinning and hitting nothing but air. Almeida tries to throw a big hook, and a short left hand counter drops him again. O’Malley walks off once more, and Smith still has not called the fight as Almeida flops to his back, so he drops a bomb of a right hand that short-circuits Almeida and forces Smith to step in. This is a hugely important victory for the “Sugar Show,” who gets back in the win column with a statement-making performance over a tough out.

Sean O'Malley
Big Brady picks Sean O'Malley to knock out Thomas Almeida in round one. He notes Almeida's poor chin, having been dropped multiple times in recent fights, and O'Malley's precise striking and power. He acknowledges Almeida's leg kicks could be a threat but believes O'Malley's accuracy will lead to an early finish. He also mentions the under 2.5 rounds as a good bet.

Sean O'Malley
Cody picks O'Malley by KO, noting that Almeida has a history of getting knocked out and that O'Malley has sharp hands and a new-age striking style. He is concerned about O'Malley's leg injuries but thinks Almeida's primitive footwork and lack of head movement make him a target. He prefers the KO prop over the straight moneyline due to the high price.

Daniel Levi picks Sean O'Malley to knock out Thomas Almeida, but expresses hesitation due to O'Malley's history of leg injuries. He notes that Almeida has a killer instinct and could capitalize if O'Malley's leg gets compromised. However, Levi believes Almeida's poor defense and tendency to get dropped in every fight make him vulnerable to O'Malley's striking. He advises against laying the heavy odds on O'Malley.

Sean O'Malley
The host picks Sean O'Malley to win by first-round KO. He notes O'Malley's speed, trap-setting, and kicking game, and questions Almeida's durability and hesitancy after eye surgeries. He mentions that Almeida's last performance was poor and that O'Malley's leg issues are a concern, but he still expects a finish. He suggests betting the fight doesn't start round three (-120) or under 2.5 rounds rather than the moneyline due to the high price.

Paul picks O'Malley but is wary of the -320 price tag due to O'Malley's leg issues. He notes that O'Malley has all the tools to win and that Almeida is an old-school boxer who comes forward in a straight line. He thinks O'Malley's reach and footwork will be key, but the risk of a leg injury makes him hesitant to bet the moneyline.

Sean O'Malley
The Guru picks Sean O'Malley by first-round KO, emphasizing O'Malley's power and Almeida's weak chin. He notes Almeida hasn't cut to bantamweight since 2018 and has been KO'd multiple times. O'Malley's feints and range will cause Almeida to panic, and a clean shot will flatten him. He advises O'Malley to keep it simple with jabs and front kicks rather than spinning techniques. He compares Almeida's inability to take shots to his fight with Jonathan Martinez.
O'Malley by KO in round 1
"i definitely think o'malley's going to flatten him in the first round by ko pretty brutally"

Big Brady picks Almeida despite concerns about his two-year layoff and chin, because he is not fully sold on Martinez, who was dropped by Andre Soukhamthath. He notes Almeida has a reach advantage and looks good on Instagram, but admits he is not very confident due to the layoff. He predicts a third-round knockout.

The MMA Guru picks Jonathan Martinez because he is naturally bigger, fighting at featherweight instead of bantamweight, and is on a four-fight win streak. He notes that Almeida has been inactive and has been knocked out before, and that the bantamweight division has evolved past him. He predicts a first-round TKO finish.
