Big Brady Expert Confident picked Aug 12, 2020 (3 days before fight)
Merab Dvalishvili

Big Brady already bet Merab by decision at -130. He thinks Merab's relentless takedowns will wear down Dodson, though he worries about judging favoring striking. He expects Merab to get about nine takedowns and win a comfortable decision.

bet Merab by decision at -130, over on takedowns
"i bet him by decision at minus 1 30"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Aug 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Merab Dvalishvili

Daniel Levi picks Merab Dvalishvili to win by unanimous decision. He acknowledges Dodson's power and takedown defense but believes Merab's relentless pace and cardio will overwhelm Dodson over three rounds. He notes that Dodson has a history of losing close decisions and that Merab's takedown volume will eventually wear him down. He also mentions that Merab's chin is solid and his recovery is excellent.

Merab by unanimous decision; Dodson may get tired in later rounds; Merab's takedown volume is key
"i got marab here to take him into deep waters and drown him ... i'm going with marab here to win a unanimous decision"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Aug 13, 2020 (2 days before fight)
John Dodson

Dodson has the speed and power to capitalize on Dvalishvili's poor striking defense; Merab is hittable and gets taken down but doesn't control opponents, allowing Dodson to get back up. Dodson carries power into later rounds and can land a bomb. The line should be closer to -150 for Merab; Dodson's inside the distance prop at +400 is intriguing.

Dodson wins inside the distance (+400); Dodson wins by KO in round 2
"John Dodson still has the speed, he still has the power... I like dogs in here."

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Aug 9, 2020 (6 days before fight)
John Dodson

The MMA Guru picks John Dodson by KO in the second or third round. He argues that Dvalishvili's takedown-heavy style will tire him out, leaving him vulnerable to Dodson's power. He notes that Dodson has faced elite competition and can survive the early grappling.

KO in the second or third round
"john dodson gets it done against marabdev if you look at john dalton's career ... he's going to beat murab de velasqually by ko in the third or second round"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Feb 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Nathaniel Wood

Daniel Levi picks Nathaniel Wood to win, possibly becoming the first man to finish John Dodson. He likes Wood's well-rounded game, consistent boxing, calf kicks, and ability to take down Dodson. He notes Dodson's recent decline and that Wood will be the bigger fighter, which should help him wear Dodson down.

first man to finish John Dodson, decision win, takedowns and ground control
"I think Nathaniel Wood is going to show I use the prospect but now it might be the contender"

Tim Elliott vs. Zach Makovsky

Round 1
Elliott somersaults forward and pops back to his feet, flicking a kick at Makovsky, who backs out of harm’s way. Makovsky takes a couple short left hands before changing momentum on the incoming Elliott and flooring him with a double-leg. Elliott closes up his guard and lands more left hands from his back as Makovsky scoots him around the center of the cage. Just as Elliott nearly posts and stands, Makovsky picks the ankle and keeps him on the mat. Elliott tries again and gets back to his feet with 3:30 left in the round. Makovsky takes 15 seconds to close the gap and slam Elliott to the ground with a high single-leg. Elliott tries to elevate and roll over backward to escape, but Makovsky keeps up with him and winds up in north-south position midway through the round. Makovsky begins working for a north-south choke, his right arm wrapped around Elliott’s neck, but Elliott escapes after a tense 20 seconds. Back to their feet go the flyweights, Elliott pushing the action with strikes and backing up Makovsky to the fence. Elliott swings his way into range and gets taken down again, although this time he grabs a headlock on the way down. Makovsky works his way out of a loose guillotine before posturing up in Elliott’s guard and dropping punches. Elliott is staying busy on his back, too, peppering Makovsky with punches on both sides. Makovsky passes to side control and traps Elliott in a crucfix with 30 seconds to go. Elliott takes a few short left hands to the face before the end of the round.

Round 2
Makovsky wastes no time before going after another takedown and bringing Elliott to the floor 30 seconds into the round. Makovsky takes side control, but Elliott turns to the other side and escapes to his feet. A few hooks connect for Elliott as he closes the gap on Makovsky near the cage again. Every time Elliott gets near enough, Makovsky shoots for his legs. After repeating the sequence twice, Makovsky gets caught in a guillotine on his third attempt. Elliott jumps guard and uses the threat of the guillotine to take top position, though he’s only there a few seconds before Makovsky uses butterfly guard to sweep. Elliott scores with elbows from his back before working his way back up again midway through the round. More pressure from Elliott on the feet, but now he walks into a left hook from Makovsky. A knee to the body lands for Elliott, then a looping punch. Makovsky changes levels and puts Elliott on his back, where again it’s Elliott staying active with strikes while “Fun Size” buries his head and maintains his position in Elliott’s guard. Referee Tom Johnson stands them up with seconds remaining in the round, and Elliot shoves Makovsky against the cage. Makovsky breaks off, circles away and tags the incoming Elliott with a counter left. From the clinch, Elliott trips Makovsky to the ground just before the round ends.

Round 3
Makovsky shoots and gets sprawled on by Elliott, who brings the former Bellator champ back up and scores with a knee in the clinch. Makovsky stays after the takedown and puts Elliott on his seat near the fence. Passing to side control and threatening with an arm-triangle choke, Makovsky is able to move straight to back-mount as Elliott rolls to escape and leaves his back exposed. Elliott stands and drops back to the ground but can’t dislodge Makovsky from his back. Makovsky has Elliott’s right arm trapped with his leg momentarily; Elliott gets it back and continues to fight off rear-naked choke attempts with two minutes left in the fight. Makovsky loses his right hook as Elliott turns over, so he transitions to side control in the center of the cage. Elliott stands again with Makovsky hanging off him, and this time the Missourian is able to drop Makovsky on his head. Quickly taking top position, Elliott dives on a topside guillotine choke from Makovsky’s half guard. Makovsky frees his head with 25 seconds to go and locks down Elliott’s left arm. Elliott postures up and uses his right arm to drop an elbow on Makovsky’s face, and the horn sounds shortly after.
