Big Brady Expert Confident picked Oct 14, 2020 (4 days before fight)

James Krause

Big Brady picks Krause due to his high volume striking and significant advantage on the feet. He acknowledges Silva's submission threat but notes Krause is a BJJ black belt who hasn't been submitted in a decade. He expects Krause to win by decision, as Silva is tough and has never been knocked out or submitted.

"give me james krause to win by decision silva is very tough he's never been knocked out obviously he's never been submitted"

DFS by the Numbers

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Oct 11, 2020 (7 days before fight)

James Krause

The MMA Guru picks James Krause because he believes Krause can evade Silva's submissions and take over in the later rounds. He notes that Silva has struggled to finish durable grapplers like Danny Roberts, and Krause has good jiu-jitsu and cardio, having fought up a weight class on short notice. He predicts a TKO in the third round.

tko in the third round

"i think he'll have a good time against claudio silva and i could see him getting a tko in the third round"

Daniel Levi Expert Hesitant picked Feb 7, 2020 (1 day before fight)

Trevin Giles

Daniel Levi picks Trevin Giles to edge out a close decision. He notes that Giles is more athletic and has a reach advantage, and will mix in takedowns. However, he acknowledges that Arroyo has good submission defense and that Giles has let people down in his last two fights.

"I think Trevin is gonna get it done man I think he's slightly more athletic... I'm gonna say Trevin Giles they just edge out a very close decision"

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Feb 5, 2020 (3 days before fight)

The host leans toward Antonio Hoyo (James Krause) as a dog, noting that Trevin Giles has lost two straight and that Hoyo has power and size. He is not fully confident but sees value at plus money. He also mentions the under 2.5 rounds as a possible bet.

under 2.5 rounds at -115

"I think you got to go dog here maybe you in the fight doesn't lure decision - 140 what's the under under two and a half is - 115 under one and a half is plus 165 this is possibly …"

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jan 31, 2020 (8 days before fight)

Trevin Giles

The MMA Guru picks Trevin Giles over Antonio Arroyo (note: transcript says Antonio Arroyo but fight is James Krause; likely error). He notes Giles lost to good fighters like Gerald Meerschaert, but Arroyo is not as good. He expects Giles to use volume and break down the muscle-bound Arroyo.

"I'm gonna go with Giles getting the win here Antonio Arroyo is a big boy a big muscle-bound guy tends to fade in the later rounds"

Daron Cruickshank vs. Beneil Dariush

Round 1
Kicks comprise much of the clean offense in the first 90 seconds, as both lightweights score to the body. Cruickshank’s hands come alive with a nice combo in the clinch, then Dariush responds with a pair of whipping kicks to the midsection. It’s an even match midway through the first round, and now Cruickshank whips around to graze with a spinning kick to the body. Dariush tries to capitalize, grabbing hold of the turning Cruickshank to try a takedown, but the “Detroit Superstar” defends. Cruickshank lands a nice low kick, answered by another pair of nasty body kicks from Dariush. Down to the final 70 seconds, Dariush scores with a low kick. Cruickshank launches himself into the air with a flying knee, but Dariush grabs hold and whips him to the ground. Heavy elbows connect for Dariush on the ground, and he fishes for a brabo choke in the closing moments. After the horn, Cruickshank indicates to referee Don Turnage that he was elbowed in the back of the head.

Round 2
Cruickshank absorbs a low kick to grab hold of Dariush and try for a takedown. Dariush defends and lands another elbow, and again Cruickshank complains that the blow was illegal. Cruickshank changes levels for another shot and eats a knee on the way down, then gets turned around. Cruickshank is on his knees with his back to the fence, and Dariush sneaks around the corner to try and jump on the striker’s back. Dariush is riding too high as he attempts an armbar, allowing Cruickshank to sneak out the back door. Cruickshank makes the mistake of shooting for another takedown, and this time Dariush whips around to secure back mount with a body triangle. From there, Dariush applies a rear-naked choke that has Cruickshank tapping out in seconds.
