Angelo picks Danny Roberts as the more technical striker, citing his footwork as the difference. However, he acknowledges Johnny Parsons' danger and the possibility of a comeback knockout. He notes that if Parsons is an underdog, he might be worth a sprinkle.

Big Brady picks Jonny Parsons to knock out Danny Roberts in the first round. He notes Roberts is the better fighter in every area except durability, which is terrible. He says Roberts has been finished six times and his chin is gone. He thinks Parsons just needs to land one hard shot. He is concerned about Parsons' long layoff and injury history.

Cody picks Roberts despite his history of losing bets on him. He thinks Roberts has skill advantages in speed, technique, and grappling. He notes Roberts's chin is a red flag but believes he can win by takedowns if needed. He will not bet him though.

Daniel picks Jonny Parsons, citing his durability and pressure style, comparing him to Bryan Barberena. He notes that Danny Roberts has a suspect chin and has been stopped more as he ages. He is concerned about Parsons' two-year layoff due to concussion issues but thinks if Parsons can absorb Roberts' shots and land his own, he has an edge. He admits he doesn't have a strong read and hopes his co-host is right about Roberts, but goes with Parsons so one of them is correct.

The host picks Jonny Parsons but expresses skepticism due to Parsons' concussion history. He believes Parsons' power and forward pressure will overcome Roberts' durability issues. He suggests looking at the Parsons by knockout prop as the likely path to victory.

Paul picks Roberts, citing his superior skill set and recent activity. He criticizes Parsons's level of competition and long layoff. He thinks Roberts's speed and technique will be too much, though he expects Roberts to make it difficult.

Angelo picks Francisco Trinaldo, continuing to ride the Trinaldo train. He likes the matchup because Danny Roberts won't initiate takedowns and has poor takedown defense. He acknowledges Trinaldo's age but believes his chin is still intact, though he notes Roberts has the power to test it.

Big Brady picks Danny Roberts to win by decision, but he is leaning and not confident. He notes that Trinaldo is 43 years old and small for welterweight, while Roberts is nine years younger, taller, and has a reach advantage. However, Roberts has shown poor fight IQ and durability issues, being finished in all his losses. Brady thinks the youth and size advantage will be decisive, but it's a close fight and he cannot be confident. He expects a competitive decision.

Cody picks Danny Roberts as his second underdog. He notes that Roberts is faster, has better footwork, and higher output. Cody believes Roberts can win the first two rounds and survive the third. He acknowledges Roberts' history of bonehead decisions but thinks the big cage and Sanford MMA game plan will help. Cody sees it as a close fight that could go either way.

Daniel Levi leans toward Danny Roberts as a slight underdog, citing Roberts' size, power, and prime age versus the 44-year-old Trinaldo. He acknowledges Trinaldo's durability and experience but thinks age may finally catch up. He plans to bet one unit on Roberts if the line improves to around +105 or +110, but has not placed the bet yet.

The host picks Danny Roberts but is not betting the fight. He believes Roberts is the better fighter at this stage, younger and faster, and should outpoint Trinaldo. However, he acknowledges Trinaldo's knockout power and Roberts' questionable chin. He mentions a possible Trinaldo KO prop at +450 to +550 as a small shot. He is staying away from betting due to the volatility.

Paul picks Francisco Trinaldo, despite acknowledging that Roberts will likely be winning early. He believes Trinaldo's durability and power will eventually catch Roberts, similar to the Jai Herbert fight. Paul notes that Roberts has a suspect chin and Trinaldo can land a big left hand late. He expects Trinaldo to be losing on the scorecards before getting a finish.

Angelo picks Emeev confidently, citing his well-rounded game and ability to dictate where the fight goes. Emeev is a solid kickboxer who can chain wrestle when needed. Danny Roberts has power and boxing but poor takedown defense and a two-year layoff. Angelo sees the fight going either Roberts by KO or Emeev by decision, and he favors Emeev's versatility. He likes the more more on monkey knife fight and considers a win inside distance/decision no action prop on Roberts.

Big Brady picks Emeev by decision, citing Roberts' poor takedown defense (53%) and long layoff. He notes Emeev averages over two takedowns per 15 minutes and will grind out a decision. He sees Roberts' only path to victory as a finish, but Emeev is durable and fights smart.

Cody picks Roberts as a live underdog, arguing that Roberts has improved his wrestling at Stanford MMA and that Emeev's grinding style is vulnerable if Roberts can stuff takedowns and create space. He notes Roberts' striking advantage and believes his talent may finally catch up. He acknowledges it's a scary bet but sees value.

Daniel picks Danny Roberts as an underdog, noting that Emeev is not a power puncher and tends to grind out decisions. Roberts has pop in his punches and is always in a dogfight. He questions Roberts' long layoff but thinks at +250 the value is on Roberts to pull off the upset, though he acknowledges Emeev could stall against the fence.

Emeev's wrestling is the key; Roberts has poor takedown defense and fight IQ. Emeev will take Roberts down and control him for a decision win. Roberts' only path is if Emeev stands and strikes, but Emeev is durable and will likely grind out a win.

Paul leans toward Emeev, citing his grinding style and control against the cage. He notes that Roberts has poor durability and a history of mental lapses. He expects Emeev to win by decision, possibly with a late finish due to Roberts' chin.
