Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Aug 7, 2022 (6 days before fight)

Nina Nunes

Angelo picks Nina Nunes as an underdog, citing Calvillo's decline after the Andrade loss and her quitting on the stool. He believes Nunes is more consistent, tough, and will not break. He notes Calvillo is the more talented fighter but has lost her edge.

"i gotta go with nunes here i think calvillo is definitely the better fighter overall ... but if you look at that entourage loss it took something out of her"

We Want Picks

Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Aug 9, 2022 (4 days before fight)

Nina Nunes

Big Brady hesitantly picks Nina Nunes to win by decision. He notes that both fighters are on losing streaks and have question marks: Nunes is 36, coming off a layoff and a loss, while Calvillo is 35, on a three-fight skid, and seems distracted. Stylistically, Nunes has better takedown defense and striking. Brady says he would never bet on this fight but picks Nunes to stuff takedowns and win on the feet.

win by decision

"i guess i'll go with nina nunez here"

DFS by the Numbers

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Aug 10, 2022 (3 days before fight)

Nina Nunes

Cody picks Nina Nunes, citing red flags on both sides but favoring Nunes' striking advantage and improved grappling camp with Amanda Nunes. He notes Calvillo's recent lack of wrestling and poor durability. Cody thinks Nunes can scramble back to her feet and win on the feet.

"i will go with nina nunez there's red flags all over this thing man"

Bookie Beatdown

Daniel Levi Expert picked Aug 10, 2022 (3 days before fight)

Daniel Levi passes on this fight, noting that both fighters are in uncertain form. He says Cynthia Calvillo has been quitting on the stool and Nina Nunes had a baby and COVID. He cannot confidently pick a winner.

"I got no idea."

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert picked Aug 13, 2022 (fight day)

The host mentions Nunes as an underdog he likes but wants nothing to do with that fight, so he does not make a pick. He does not provide any analysis or reasoning for either fighter.

"i would say nina nunes as well but i want nothing to do with that fight so i'm not gonna tell you guys to do that"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Apr 7, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Nina Nunes

Big Brady is very confident in Nunes, calling her one of his most confident picks on the card. He highlights Nunes' excellent takedown defense (77%) and her ability to stuff takedowns from elite wrestlers like Tatiana Suarez. He criticizes Dern's takedown accuracy (5%) and zero takedown defense, arguing that Dern cannot get the fight to the mat. Brady believes Nunes will out-strike Dern and win a one-sided decision. He already bet Nunes at -110 and is happy with the pick.

Daniel Levi Expert Hesitant picked Apr 9, 2021 (1 day before fight)

Nina Nunes

Daniel Levi picks Nina Nunes, but expresses concern about her coming back after pregnancy, noting that many female fighters lay an egg in their first fight back. He thinks Nunes is the better overall fighter with good calf kicks and improving takedown defense, and if she keeps the fight standing and pulls the trigger, she can win a decision. However, he acknowledges that if Dern takes her back, it could be trouble.

"I think if nina comes out here and if she you know pulls the trigger ... i think she's got a good chance to come out here and uh win this decision"

Nina Nunes

He notes that Dern's striking improvements are overblown, as she hasn't faced a striker of Nunes' caliber.

Nina Ansaroff vs. Angela Hill

Round 1
Ansaroff strikes first with a low kick but gets her head snapped back by Hill's speedy jab. Hill takes another pair of low kicks, now counters Ansaroff's jab with a left hook. Hill catches Ansaroff throwing a spinning kick and rushes in to take the back, hustling the ATT fighter against the fence. Ansaroff breaks out quickly and goes back to kicking at Hill's lead leg. Hill responds with a heavy pair of low kicks of her own as the strawweights continue to try and chop one another down. Hill lands two more leg kicks, then catches Ansaroff's return kick and chops her to the ground. Ansaroff gets back on her feet and is forced backward with a left hand to the grill. Hill looks to be taking over the battle of the leg kicks, as she ups her volume and starts to check more of Ansaroff's kicks. Hill is the fighter pressing forward in the final minutes of the round, too, as her speed and volume begins to put Ansaroff in a defensive mode.

Round 2
Ansaroff catches the incoming Hill with a clean left kick to the body, then bloodies the nose of "Overkill" with a right hook. Hill steps into the pocket and grabs for the Thai clinch, but she's easily shoved away by the larger fighter. Ansaroff shoots for a takedown but gets no purchase on her shot as Hill shuts it down and circles away. Hill continues to work Ansaroff's lead leg with hard, loud kicks, and midway through the round plants a pair of punches on "The Strina" before backing away again. Ansaroff fires back with an outside leg kick that nearly chops Hill to the floor, but the Alliance MMA fighter keeps her balance. Hill gets the Thai plum and drives a hard knee into Ansaroff's midsection. Ansaroff takes a step back after eating a clean counter right hand. Hill looks for the clinch again, but this time Ansaroff avoids damage and pushes Hill away, landing a heavy low kick on the way out. Now it's Hill's turn to bloody Ansaroff's nose with a hook. Ansaroff eats the punch well and continues to press the action as round two comes to an end.

Round 3
Hill lands a quick right hand over the top and quickly backs up to dodge Ansaroff's kicks. Ansaroff lands a glancing spinning back kick to the body, slips a right hand from Hill and counters with a right hook. Hill strikes back with a nice uppercut on the end of a combination, but Ansaroff answers with two leg kicks that force Hill to back up momentarily. Both strawweights throw right straights, and Ansaroff looks to land the cleaner blow. She touches Hill with a jab, now throws a kick which is caught by Hill, but Ansaroff pulls the leg back before her opponent can capitalize. Ansaroff eats a right over the top but immediately reclaims the ground by backing up Hill to the wall with two low kicks and a right of her own. Hill bursts off the wall, looking charge Ansaroff with punches, but the Floridian is evasive. Ansaroff catches another kick and trips Hill to the floor in the center of the cage, but Hill jumps up before Ansaroff can pin her down. Ansaroff lands the last hard shot of the bout, sending a right high kick over the glove of Hill.
