Big Brady Expert Confident picked Nov 18, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Jared Gooden

Big Brady picks Jared Gooden to win by first-round knockout. He notes Jouban is 38 and has chin issues, while Gooden is younger and packs power. He thinks the small cage helps Gooden close distance, but if Gooden doesn't finish early, he may slow down.

first round knockout

"i'm going to take good in my first round knock i'm going to take the dog here"

DFS by the Numbers

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Nov 19, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Jared Gooden

Daniel picks his friend Jared Gooden, citing his forward pressure, volume striking, and youth advantage. He believes Jouban is aging and his chin is diminishing, and that Gooden's improved mindset and training will lead to a first-round knockout. He dismisses criticism of Gooden's past losses as due to weight class issues.

first round knockout, 50k bonus

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked Nov 17, 2020 (4 days before fight)

Alan Jouban

The host picks Alan Jouban but is not confident due to his age (38) and layoff. He thinks Jouban's durability is underrated and he has more ways to win, but is scared of the layoff and the hungry newcomer. He recommends staying away from betting this fight.

"my official pick is going to be Alan Joan but by no means am I confident in it"

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Nov 15, 2020 (6 days before fight)

Jared Gooden

The MMA Guru picks Jared Gooden to win by KO in the first round. He cites Jouban's long layoff (since April 2019), age (38), and history of being KO'd. Gooden is younger, more active, and has power. He expects Gooden to crack Jouban early.

Alan Jouban vs. Belal Muhammad

Round 1
Muhammad presses the action early, marching toward Jouban with a few low kicks. One clips Jouban on the cup, but “Brahma” says he’s OK to continue. Shortly after the restart, a sweeping left hand from Jouban knocks Muhammad to the canvas. Jouban comes down to kneel in his opponent’s guard, but Muhammad rolls free and the welterweights scramble back to their feet. Muhammad pushes Jouban against the wall and double-legs him to the floor, and suddenly it’s Muhammad coming on strong, looping left hands underneath Jouban’s armpit. Two minutes in, the fighters scramble up and return to the center of the cage. Muhammad closes in on Jouban again and gets lit up with a left high kick to the face. Jouban follows his wounded opponent to the floor and tries to pound out Muhammad with left hands and elbows. Referee Herb Dean is watching from nearby but giving Muhammad every chance to recover from the bad spot. Jouban’s storm subsides, allowing Muhammad to work back to his feet with about 40 seconds on the clock. The 170-pounders paw with strikes in the final minute, but neither man lands anything of significance.

Round 2
Muhammad once again pushes forward on Jouban at the start of the round. Jouban looks a bit tired in his movement after expending loads of energy trying to finish Muhammad in the first frame. Jouban appears to catch Muhammad in the eye with an open hand twice in the first 90 seconds, but Muhammad doesn’t ask for a stoppage and Jouban apologizes immediately. Muhammad walks right into a big left hand from Jouban, momentarily knocking the UFC newcomer to the floor. Muhammad springs back to his feet and shoves Jouban against the fence with double underhooks. He switches to a single-leg but can’t wrestle Jouban to the floor, so the welterweights remain in the clinch, trading short punches inside. They split with 90 seconds on the clock and Muhammad comes forward again, his nose busted up from Jouban’s earlier shots. Jouban backpedals and keeps sticking his jab in Muhammad’s face as the final minute ticks down. Muhammad scores a late takedown and tries to attack but can’t do much before the bell.

Round 3
Muhammad tries to close the gap by walking toward Jouban, but he winds up shooting for a takedown from way out. Jouban stuffs the shot and clinches with Muhammad, who turns him against the fence for a few seconds until they separate. Muhammad is showing some fatigue now, his hands dropping to his waist as he tries to get into striking range. Meanwhile, an equally tired Jouban stays on his back foot, fending off Muhammad with jabs, his back always near the fence. Muhammad is throwing with high volume and starting to connect with greater frequency, but Jouban is just eating every punch. Inside the final minute now, Muhammad is charging hard for the finish but still hasn’t managed to send Jouban to the mat. Jouban is still getting in a few licks, but he’s being badly outlanded down the stretch as he wobbles around the outside. Muhammad is still attacking with punches when the fight draws to a close.

Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Apr 7, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Daniel Rodriguez

Big Brady picks Rodriguez to win a close decision, but he is not confident and is passing on betting. He notes that Perry is taking the fight seriously and looks in great shape, but he cannot trust Perry due to his poor striking defense and tendency to absorb damage. Brady thinks Rodriguez is more defensively sound and durable, and the fight likely goes to decision. He mentions the over might be a good look but does not bet.

Tim Means

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jun 24, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Mike Perry

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.

Perry by KO in round 1; wouldn't put him in a parlay due to concerns; Gall at +255 is a shot but not for him

"I like Perry to win here... probably gonna get a knockout on Mickey Gall in that first round."

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Jun 26, 2020 (1 day before fight)

Mickey Gall

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.

Gall wins by submission

"I think this Saturday has all the ingredients for him to rise to the occasion and choke out Mike Perry somewhere along the way."

Mike Perry

The MMA Guru confidently picks Mike Perry to win by KO, stating that Mickey Gall's only chance is to get the fight to the ground, but Perry's takedown defense is strong. He predicts Perry will break Gall in the clinch and land an elbow or shot for a first-round TKO. He dismisses concerns about Perry's girlfriend being in his corner, believing his gym will prevent that from being a distraction.

Perry by KO/TKO in first round; Perry to land an elbow or shot off the break
