Big Brady Expert Confident picked Nov 12, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Rafael dos Anjos

Big Brady picks RDA because he had a full camp training for Islam Makhachev, which should help his wrestling and grappling against Felder, who took the fight on five days' notice. He notes RDA is the more technical striker with higher output, and Felder is dangerous but RDA has a solid chin. He expects RDA to mix in takedowns and grind out a decision, possibly a late finish.

RDA decision prop mentioned as a potential look; RDA as a parlay piece considered

"i'm gonna take rda to get it done um you know grind out paul felder to a decision i wouldn't be surprised if there's a late finish"

DFS by the Numbers

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Nov 13, 2020 (1 day before fight)

Rafael dos Anjos

Daniel picks dos Anjos because he believes Felder's timing will be off due to lack of sparring and wrestling preparation on short notice. He notes dos Anjos has been training for a five-round fight against Islam Makhachev and is motivated dropping back to 155. He also points out that Felder historically struggles with volume and that dos Anjos can mix in takedowns, referencing Edson Barboza taking Felder down. He acknowledges Felder's durability and power but thinks dos Anjos will outwork him.

"i'm gonna roll with rafael dos anos as well"

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Nov 10, 2020 (4 days before fight)

Rafael dos Anjos

The host favors Rafael dos Anjos due to his experience in five-round fights, having gone to the fourth round or later in seven of his last nine five-round bouts. He believes dos Anjos's aggressive striking, leg kicks, and superior jiu-jitsu will overwhelm Paul Felder, who is taking the fight on six days' notice and has only one five-round fight experience. The host notes Felder's durability but expects dos Anjos to win via decision, possibly mixing in takedowns and ground control.

Host mentions dos Anjos via submission as a possibility but leans toward decision; also notes odds around -150 and says he might take a play on dos Anjos if the line sticks.

"i love dosanus here i think he gets ... i'm going to go with the safe side and i'll say dosan used to win this fight via decision"

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Nov 10, 2020 (4 days before fight)

Rafael dos Anjos

The MMA Guru picks Rafael dos Anjos, citing Felder's short notice and difficult weight cut as major disadvantages. He believes dos Anjos will invest in body and leg kicks early, then finish Felder by exhaustion in the later rounds. He notes that dos Anjos has been training for this fight and is not a big lightweight, while Felder's reach advantage is neutralized by dos Anjos' similar reach. He also mentions that dos Anjos will be more confident on the feet without facing a wrestler.

Finish by exhaustion TKO in round 4 or 5; mentions dos Anjos has similar reach to Felder; notes Felder's terrible weight cuts even on full camp

"I'm gonna go with Rafael dos Anjos chewing up his legs, chewing up his body for three rounds, eventually getting himself a finish in the fourth or fifth or running away with an easy decision."

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Feb 21, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Paul Felder

Daniel Levi picks Paul Felder to win, citing Felder's durability (never knocked out), better technique throughout the fight, and ability to handle five rounds. He believes Felder's calf kicks and pressure will be key, and that Hooker's confidence from recent wins is overblown. Levi expects Felder to get a late knockout or win a decision, possibly 48-47.

"I just feel like Paul Felder is the better fighter, the tougher fighter, the fighter that's more durable for this war."

Half the Battle

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Feb 14, 2020 (9 days before fight)

Dan Hooker

The host picks Dan Hooker, believing he will win the first three rounds and possibly the fourth, though he worries about the new judging emphasis on later rounds. He cites Hooker's reach advantage, technical striking, and improvement, while noting Felder lacks power despite his size and has a one-dimensional game plan. He expects Hooker to use leg kicks, jabs, and body work to secure a unanimous decision.

unanimous decision

"I'm going with down hooker more versatile pool fellas got one game plan and if it doesn't work he's kind of [__] weighed forward and fro shots Dan hookers too technical for that"

Danny Castillo vs. Jim Miller

Round 1
Miller walks Castillo toward the fence with leg kicks, then catches a kick from the Team Alpha Male product and runs him to the ground. Thirty seconds into the fight, Miller works from Castillo’s half guard, going heavy as Castillo tries to use an elevator sweep. Miller passes to full mount, looks like he’ll go for an armbar, then gets heavy again and secures the position with knees on the ground. Castillo tries to bump and escape, nearly gets caught in a triangle as he rolls to his knees, then slips out of a reverse triangle and rushes forward to take top position. Miller puts him in closed guard, then creeps his legs up Castillo’s body with two minutes left in the round. Miller goes back to closed guard and hits Castillo with an elbow to the face along the way. Miller spins and grabs for a heel hook, forcing Castillo to bail, and now the lightweights are back on their feet with one minute to go. There’s not much clean offense between them as the round ends, but a leaping knee from Castillo appears to graze Miller’s cup as the round ends.

Castillo comes down the center with a clean right hand and follows with a hard body kick. Miller backs up Castillo to the fence and scores with a body kick, then blocks a Castillo right high kick. Miller is keeping the pressure on, forcing Castillo to the outside, and now he defends as the Team Alpha Male product grabs for a double-leg. Down to the final minute of the round, Miller continues to press forward on Castillo with leg kicks. He gets clipped with a right high kick from Castillo, tries to catch it but can’t convert to a takedown. Castillo goes to the body with a right kick, partially catching the arm of Miller.

Castillo scrambles back to his feet, gets caught in a headlock and takes a few knees from Miller before being released. Miller whiffs on a high kick, lands a hard one to the inside of Castillo’s lead leg. Castillo shoots again and is stuffed by Miller, pushed the New Jerseyan to the fence but has to disengage when Miller grabs for his neck. The 155ers are back in the middle with two minutes remaining, and Miller pushes Castillo backward with a lead uppercut. Castillo lands an outside leg kick and gets one right back from Miller, then eats a jab and gives Miller one in return. A body kick catches Miller on the arm, followed by a right hand upstairs by Castillo. “Last Call” is coming on strong in the latter half of the round, and now he stuffs a shot from Miller.
