Angelo Bodetti Expert picked May 29, 2022 (6 days before fight)

Felice Herrig

Angelo calls this a coin flip fight with too many variables. He notes Karolina is the better fighter but looks like a shell of herself, while Felice is scrappy and well-rounded. He reluctantly picks Felice because he believes she still has passion, but advises not to bet on this fight.

"honestly i don't want to pick it i don't want to bet it there's too many variables to work on here"

We Want Picks

Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked May 30, 2022 (5 days before fight)

Karolina Kowalkiewicz

Big Brady picks Karolina Kowalkiewicz to win by a very close decision. He thinks the fight will play out like their first fight, with Kowalkiewicz stuffing takedowns and out-striking Herrig. However, he is very hesitant because both fighters are on long losing streaks and he questions Kowalkiewicz's mindset after five straight losses. He calls it a 'complete mess' and an 'unbeatable fight' from a betting perspective.

"give me carolina to win i'll say she stuffed the takedowns and out strikes felice herrig"

DFS by the Numbers

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Jun 1, 2022 (3 days before fight)

Karolina Kowalkiewicz

Cody picks Kowalkiewicz, arguing that her losses came against elite competition while Herrig has been inactive. He notes Herrig's takedown-dependent style and thinks Kowalkiewicz can stuff takedowns and win on volume. He is hesitant due to both fighters' age and recent form.

"i'll go with carolina but i don't know if i can put money my hard-earned dollars on karolina kovalkovic in the year 2022."

Bookie Beatdown

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Jun 2, 2022 (2 days before fight)

Karolina Kowalkiewicz

Daniel Levi picks Karolina Kowalkiewicz as a slight underdog, noting she won their first fight and that both fighters are past their prime. He mentions Herrig's long layoff and focus on OnlyFans, while Kowalkiewicz has health issues. He calls it a 'dog or pass' fight and advises against betting, but leans toward Kowalkiewicz for the pick.

"i'll go with the underdog who actually beat the favorite one so let's go with carolina to get back on track"

Half the Battle

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Jun 1, 2022 (3 days before fight)

Karolina Kowalkiewicz

Paul picks Kowalkiewicz, noting her superior striking and takedown defense from their first fight. He acknowledges both fighters are washed but believes Kowalkiewicz's activity and training at ATT give her an edge. He is not confident due to women's MMA volatility.

"give me uh give me carolina kovakovich but of course women's mma so you just you can't have a ton of confidence"

The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked May 30, 2022 (5 days before fight)

Karolina Kowalkiewicz

The MMA Guru picks Karolina Kowalkiewicz but with clear disdain and low confidence. He calls the fight a 'sympathy bout' and questions why it's on the card. He notes Kowalkiewicz has good grappling defense and is scrappy, and she won the first fight, so he expects her to win again. However, he admits 'who knows' and seems to care little about the outcome.

"i'm going to go kovalkavich she's got good grappling defense in her career she's scrappy on the feet"

Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Aug 12, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Virna Jandiroba

Big Brady thinks Jandiroba will get takedowns and control the fight on the ground, but he is not impressed with her striking. He notes Herrig is the better striker and could win if she stuffs takedowns. He sees value on Herrig as an underdog.

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Aug 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)

Virna Jandiroba

Daniel Levi picks Virna Jandiroba to win by submission. He believes Jandiroba is a specialist on the ground and will get takedowns against Herrig, who is coming off a two-year layoff and ACL surgery. He notes that Herrig has been submitted before and that Jandiroba's takedown game, though basic, should be enough. He also mentions that if Jandiroba can't get takedowns, she could struggle, but he expects her to succeed.

Jandiroba by submission; Herrig's layoff and surgery are concerns; line is a bit wide but pick is solid

"i'll go with the jandarova"

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Aug 13, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Virna Jandiroba

Jandiroba is a high-level grappler with heavy top pressure and a strong submission game; she will take Herrig down with double legs and work for a finish. Herrig is returning from a two-year layoff and ACL surgery, and her takedown defense is questionable. Jandiroba may win by submission or decision, but she should dominate on the ground.

Jandiroba wins by submission in round 2; also mentions decision possible

"I think Jandiroba will have not too much difficulty with getting Herrig down... I do like Virna to win this fight."

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Aug 9, 2020 (6 days before fight)

Felice Herrig

The MMA Guru picks Felice Herrig, despite criticizing her skills, because she is bigger, stronger, and has fought better competition. He notes that Jandiroba's record is padded with cans and that Herrig had a training camp booked previously, so she is prepared.

boring decision

"i think that felice herrig is going to get the job done verna janda robert is good i just don't think she's fought good competition"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Apr 15, 2021 (2 days before fight)

Tracy Cortez

Big Brady picks Tracy Cortez to win by decision. He highlights Cortez's excellent wrestling (3 takedowns per 15 minutes) against Kish's poor takedown defense (55%). He notes that Kish has not faced a wrestler of Cortez's caliber and that Cortez should have no problem getting takedowns and controlling the fight. He expects a dominant decision with multiple takedowns and top control. He suggests the decision prop at -120 as a better value than the moneyline.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Sep 11, 2020 (1 day before fight)

Justine Kish

The host believes the line is too wide for Mazo at -250, as Kish has a solid kickboxing background and high output. He notes Mazo has trouble when opponents close distance and with leg kicks, and expects Kish to be the busier fighter, potentially winning a close decision. He advises against parlaying Mazo at such short odds.

Kish by decision; line is too wide; would not parlay Mazo at -250

Sabina Mazo

The MMA Guru picks Sabina Mazo because he was embarrassed by Justine Kish's boring performance against Lucie Pudilova, where nothing happened. He notes that Mazo is younger (23 vs 32), hungrier, and improving more between fights. He expects Mazo to keep Kish at range and out-strike her for three rounds, winning by unanimous decision.
