Eddie Alvarez vs. Justin Gaethje

Round 1
Gaethje begins pressing the action immediately, forcing Alvarez to the outside with punches and heavy low kicks. Alvarez swings back with a hard right hand, but Gaethje cracks him with a counter on the other side. Alvarez catches a kick and trips Gaethje to the ground, then narrowly avoids kicking the ex-WSOF champion in the head as he stands up. Alvarez begins switching between stances after absorbing some nasty leg kicks; he tries to give Gaethje some kicks in return, but they don't have the same zip behind them. Halfway through the round, Gaethje nearly buckles Alvarez's left leg with another hard chop. Alvarez is still swinging, though, and now catches another kick to trip Gaethje to the floor. Gaethje rolls through and stands up, but Alvarez greets him with a ripping body shot. Alvarez digs into the body again, this time with a pair of hooks. The body work seems to be bothering Gaethje now, but he tags Alvarez back with a left hand. Alvarez wags his finger to say the shot didn't faze him, then blitzes Gaethje with a body shot and more hooks to the midsection. Gaethje is cut on the outside of his left eye, while Alvarez has some damage underneath his left eye. Alvarez tries to surprised Gaethje with a cartwheel kick just before the horn and winds up on his back.

Round 2
It's a slower start to round two, as Gaethje strikes from a little further out, picking at Alvarez's damaged lead leg. Gaethje presses forward with snappy jabs, while Alvarez blasts back with a big uppercut to the body. Alvarez rocks Gaethje's head with a nasty jab, changes levels to dodge Gaethje's return fire, but Gaethje times a clean right hand over the top. Gaethje jacks the jaw of Alvarez with a lead uppercut as the 155ers continue to try and knock off one another's heads. Alvarez seems to be the fresher and busier fighter at the midway point of the round, but every time it looks like Gaethje is hurt, the Coloradoan comes storming back with an uppercut or left hand. Alvarez's body blows are starting to take a toll in the latter half of the round; Gaethje goes back to his leg-kicking, briefly forcing Alvarez to switch to southpaw. Alvarez connects with a series of uppercuts, dodges a big left hook from Gaethje and then digs into the body again. Body-head goes Alvarez, now catching a kick and flipping Gaethje head-over-heels to the floor at the end of the round.

Round 3
Alvarez comes out for the final round with the entire right side of his mouth swollen. Gaethje eats a few shots from the ex-Bellator champ to walk forward and land a leg kick. The first kick of the round nearly takes the legs out from underneath Alvarez, who tries to pull guard after absorbing a few more kicks. Alvarez switches to southpaw again to protect his left leg, but he flips back to orthodox as he tries to mount an attack. Gaethje blasts Alvarez with an uppercut, but Alvarez responds with a clinch knee to the body. Two more heavy kicks land to Alvarez's left knee, but he just keeps coming forward. Alvarez ducks under a punch from Gaethje and spins to take his back, then rides him to the floor, but Gaethje quickly climbs back to his feet. Gaethje goes straight back to leg-kicking, trying to chop down Alvarez, now inside the final three minutes of this brutal bout. A clinch from Alvarez offers a brief respite for a suddenly exhausted Gaethje, who looks like he's barely staying standing, wobbling all around the cage. Alvarez walks into the pocket and gets his jaw jacked by a Gaethje uppercut. Standing in the center of the cage, Alvarez pulls down Gaethje's head in the Thai clinch and blasts him with a clean knee to the jaw. Gaethje hits the deck in a daze, and a few follow-up punches from Alvarez is all referee Herb Dean needs to see before stopping the fight. Eddie Alvarez becomes the first man to finish Justin Gaethje in an instant classic and "Fight of the Year" contender.

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Dec 16, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Alex Morono

Big Brady picks Alex Morono over Anthony Pettis, calling the odds 'insane' and believing the fight is 50-50. He notes Pettis' decline at 170, his slow pace, and that he should be 1-4 in his last five. Morono lands more volume (5.32 strikes per minute) and has a wrestling/ground game he can use. Brady predicts a volume-based decision win for Morono, though he acknowledges judging could favor Pettis' flashiness.

volume-based decision

"i'm going to pick um reno to win a volume based decision here"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Dec 16, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Alex Morono

The host leans Morono as a dog, believing his high volume and forward pressure can overwhelm an aging Pettis. He notes Pettis has historically struggled against pressure fighters and that Morono's output could earn a decision. He suggests waiting for a better line (plus 200) before betting.

Morono by decision

"i'm going to stick back i'm going to sit back and just watch how this line uh shakes out but my play is going to be morono"

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Dec 13, 2020 (6 days before fight)

Anthony Pettis

The Guru picks Anthony Pettis, citing his reach advantage and better striking. He believes Morono is rushing a turnaround after taking damage in his last fight. He notes Pettis looked good against Cerrone and that Morono's win over Rhys McKee is not impressive. He predicts a 30-27 unanimous decision for Pettis.

Mentions that Pettis could call out Nick Diaz after a win and that he is fighting for a potential big fight.

"i think perez is going to get the job done against morono... i think he gets it done by a unanimous decision 30 27 just out striking alex moreno over three rounds"

Donald Cerrone

Big Brady picks Donald Cerrone, but with low confidence. He notes both fighters are past their prime and have shown signs of quitting. He believes Cerrone has a step down in competition and more heart, but worries about his durability. He predicts a decision win for Cerrone.

Cerrone by decision

"I'm going to go with Cerrone here. Um both these fighters are like out of their prime for sure. ... I think Cerrone has a little bit more left in the tank than Pettis."

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked May 5, 2020 (4 days before fight)

Donald Cerrone

Daniel Levi picks Donald Cerrone, arguing that Pettis is not the same fighter as in 2013 and lacks sustainability. He believes if Cerrone avoids an early fight-ending blow, he will take over with takedowns and pressure. Levi notes that Cerrone is a slow starter but should dominate if he gets to the second round, and that Pettis tends to quit when pressured.

Cerrone by decision or finish

"I think if he avoids taking a fight ending blow in the early going he will eventually begin to take over the fight mix in takedowns along the way and either edge of decision or finish Pettis along the way"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked May 6, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Anthony Pettis

Matt picks Pettis but is not confident, citing both fighters' mental fragility and recent losses. He thinks Pettis can establish pressure and leg kicks early to get a finish, but he doesn't trust either guy. He calls the fight a pass for betting and suggests Cerrone as the value side if forced to bet.

Pettis by second-round TKO, best bet is Cerrone for value

"I am gonna pick Paris I can't believe I'm doing it I'm picking Pettis to win but in terms of betting I'm not trusting him"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Jan 16, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Carlos Diego Ferreira

Daniel picks Carlos Diego Ferreira to win, likely by decision or submission. He highlights Ferreira's superior volume, boxing, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu, noting that Pettis has a history of quitting when pressured. He believes Ferreira will break Pettis with pressure and get his arm raised.

submission

"I think if Diego doesn't get finished by a big shot he will eventually break Pettis with his pressure and get his arm raised."

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jan 15, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Carlos Diego Ferreira

The host is very confident in Diego Ferreira, planning to bet 4 units at -230. He highlights Ferreira's pressure, consistent one-two combinations, and improvements, contrasting with Pettis's tendency to conform to opponents' pace and gas out. He believes Pettis's only path to victory is a flash knockout, as Ferreira is superior on the ground. He notes that Ferreira's loss to Mairbek Taisumov was due to a hard shot, but Pettis doesn't hit as hard.

4 units at -230; might parlay with Nasrat Haqparast; if line drops to -200, will bet more.

"I love Diego for hidden in the spot"

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jan 6, 2020 (12 days before fight)

Carlos Diego Ferreira

The host strongly favors Carlos Diego Ferreira, citing Pettis's history of breaking bones in fights (hand, foot, rib) and the wear and tear on his body. He notes Ferreira's dominant decision win over Mairbek Taisumov and his clean record with only two losses. He cannot bet on Pettis due to his fragility and predicts Ferreira wins by clear-cut decision.

decision

"I feel like Carlos Diego if hair is gonna take the win here and get it done in dominant decision fashion Pettis is probably gonna break another hand I can't bet on him"
