Angelo Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Alejandro Pérez

Angelo picks Alejandro Pérez despite the long layoff, citing his fresher chin, better striking, and wrestling backup plan. He notes that Pérez has good boxing and speed, though not insane power, and that his wrestling background is used defensively to keep the fight standing. Angelo is hesitant because both fighters have been out for years and are coming off two losses, making this a high-variance matchup. He explicitly says he is not betting on Pérez due to too many unknowns, but he did bet on the fight not going the distance at -115.

fight does not go the distance at -115

"i like alejandro perez in this fight he's a decent favorite i get why he's got the fresher chin he's got the better striking"

We Want Picks

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Sep 30, 2021 (2 days before fight)

Alejandro Pérez

Big Brady picks Alejandro Pérez to win by finish, citing Eduardo's age (43 years old) and long layoff (3 years 3 months). He notes Eduardo is dangerous early but fades, and Pérez is over 10 years younger. He expects Pérez to survive the first round and then take over for a finish, possibly by submission given Eduardo has been submitted nine times.

Pérez by finish (submission or KO)

"i gotta go perez i'm gonna take perez to win by finish could be uh submission or knockout"

DFS by the Numbers

Cody Saftic Expert Hesitant picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Alejandro Pérez

Cody picks Perez but is not confident. He notes that Eduardo is 41 and hasn't fought in three years, but Perez has chin issues and poor takedown accuracy. He expects Perez to win by decision or inside the distance, but acknowledges Eduardo's early power. He suggests betting Perez inside the distance or the under.

Perez inside the distance at +175; Under 1.5 rounds at -140

"i will go with eduardo i can't see myself betting a 41 year old bantamweight"

Bookie Beatdown

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Oct 1, 2021 (1 day before fight)

Alejandro Pérez

Daniel Levi picks Alejandro Pérez, citing Eduardo's age (42 at bantamweight) and tendency to fade after the first round. He notes Pérez is younger, fresher, and coming off a long layoff after a KO loss, which may have allowed him to heal. Levi warns that Eduardo is dangerous early with his Muay Thai power, but if Pérez survives the first five minutes, he can win a decision or get a late finish. He has a soft spot for Eduardo but picks Pérez.

"my pick is going to be alejandro perez to get this one done"

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 1, 2021 (1 day before fight)

Alejandro Pérez

I think Pérez's durability will carry him through Eduardo's early aggression. Eduardo tends to fade as the fight goes on, and Pérez should take over later. I'm not worried about Eduardo's power compared to Song Yadong, who finished Pérez. I like Pérez by decision at +250 as a prop, but the moneyline is fine too.

Pérez by decision +250

"I feel like you got to go with perez here man he's been showing his durability"

MMA Lock of the Night

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Alejandro Pérez

Paul picks Perez, noting that Eduardo is 41 and has been out for three years. He believes Perez's youth and activity will be key. He expects Perez to win by decision or late stoppage. He also mentions that Eduardo has poor fight IQ, as seen in his submission loss to Nathaniel Wood.

Perez inside the distance at +175

"it's got to be alejandro perez in this spot"

Bookie Beatdown

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Sep 27, 2021 (5 days before fight)

Alejandro Pérez

The MMA Guru picks Alejandro Pérez, noting that Johnny Eduardo is 43 years old and returning after three years off. He believes Pérez is in his athletic prime and has shown good grappling against Cody Stamann. Eduardo's only chance is a first-round KO, but Pérez has only been KO'd once. He predicts Pérez will wear down Eduardo and get a late second-round TKO.

Pérez by TKO in round 2 or 3

"i'm going with perez by third round tko just wearing down an older man in johnny eduardo and piecing him up maybe a late second round tko for alejandro perez"

Aljamain Sterling vs. Johnny Eduardo

Round 1
Eduardo takes up a spot in the center of the cage, while Sterling cuts angles around the outside, switching between orthodox and southpaw stances. The bantamweights exchange leg kicks, then Sterling flicks out a few side kicks and fakes a takedown attempt. Sterling steps inside again, ducking low and then going upstairs with a high kick which Eduardo deflects. The Brazilian puts a loud kick on Sterling’s lead leg, which is constantly changing as the “Funkmaster” switches stances. Sterling shoots near the fence and hits a takedown with just over two minutes on the clock. Eduardo gets flattened out on his back and tries to hold Sterling in half guard as the American presses to advance. With few strikes being thrown on the mat, referee Marc Goddard calls for action. Sterling gets busy with a few short left hands and then drops a heavy right on Eduardo’s face, opening a small cut on the outside of his left eye. Eduardo works back to his feet in the closing seconds but is held in a headlock and cracked with a Sterling knee as time expires.

Round 2
Sterling continues to switch stances at the onset of the second stanza, this time doing a better job of avoiding Eduardo’s heavy leg kicks. There’s not much action through the first minute as Sterling circles the perimeter, steering clear of Eduardo altogether. Another minute passes with little offense of which to speak, save a few low kicks from Eduardo, answered by Sterling with a couple kicks to the body. Eduardo begins to let his hands go midway through the round, then sprawls on a shot and tries to catch Sterling in a guillotine. The submission attempt weakens Eduardo’s takedown defense and allows Sterling to complete the shot near the fence. Sterling gets busy with heavy ground-and-pound, landing a dozen or more right hands to Eduardo’s face. Eduardo sits up to try and stand, but Sterling immediately catches him in a guillotine and forces him back to the mat. Sterling steps over to full mount, squeezes the choke and elicits a tap.

Manny Gamburyan vs. Cody Gibson

Round 1
Gibson circles the outside and pumps his jab in the shorter man’s face, while Gamburyan stakes out the center and shoots for a long takedown behind a missed overhand right. Gibson tags “The Anvil” with a hook on the way up, and now the bantamweights come back to the middle of the cage. Gamburyan looks to tie up again and gets tossed to the ground, then pressed against the fence when he stands. A knee from Gamburyan catches Gibson on the cup, but Gibson quickly tells referee Chris Tognoni that he’s good to continue. Gamburyan lands a hard leg kick, gets pushed backward with a Gibson straight right. Another low kick lands for Gamburyan, this time answered by Gibson, who follows up with another right hook and a double jab. Gamburyan is sporting damage now, a wide cut under his left eye which only gets worse as Gibson sticks another right hand. Gamburyan backs up to the fence and covers up, allowing Gibson to score with a pair of knees. Gamburyan powers into a takedown with about one minute remaining. He passes to side control but gets overpowered by Gibson, who reverses and then stands to deck Gamburyan with some standing elbows and body shots at the end of the round.

Round 2
Gibson covers up and deflects heavy shots from Gamburyan, who traps his opponent near the fence and tries to take off Gibson’s head with right hooks and uppercuts. Gibson steps forward and throws an inside leg kick that lands square on Gamburyan’s cup. Gamburyan shouts and grimaces as he walks around the cage, but after a break, he’s ready to continue. Almost as soon as the fight resumes, Gibson drops Gamburyan with a whipping overhand right. Gibson tries to polish off his kneeling opponent, but Gamburyan scrambles back to his feet and shoves Gibson against the fence. Gibson reverses to take the outside position and trips Gamburyan to the ground. Gamburyan stands, still trapped against the cage, and Gibson makes him pay with two or three big right hands to the gut. Gibson again trips him to the mat, where Gamburyan puts a hand down to avoid knees to the head. Gamburyan is back up and seems to have recovered with half the round to go. Gibson slows his pace and goes back to jabbing at Gamburyan, then puts the former featherweight on the fence. Gamburyan changes levels and hits a takedown with 70 seconds on the clock, then pulls guard to squeeze a guillotine choke at the 20-second mark. Gibson’s right arm is trapped by Gamburyan’s legs, and with no way to escape, he’s forced to tap with just seconds left in the round.
