Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Mar 5, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Israel Adesanya

Daniel believes Adesanya's volume and distance management will be too much for Romero. He thinks Adesanya will pick Romero apart with kicks and win a lopsided decision, though he acknowledges Romero is always live for a knockout. He notes that Romero doesn't do well in fights that go the distance and that Adesanya's takedown defense and get-up game are underrated.

Daniel says he doesn't feel comfortable putting money against Romero because he's such a beast as a dog, but he understands both sides. He mentions that a parlay on Adesanya is understandable but also sees the appeal of Romero at +230.

"I think he's gonna pick apart Yoel Romero but I'm also curious to see if this is the last time that you got an under -300 line on him."

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Mar 5, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Israel Adesanya

Adesanya's distance management, kicking, and ability to read opponents are key. He will target Romero's body to drain his cardio, then mix in head strikes. Adesanya's takedown defense is excellent; he gets back up quickly. A fourth-round TKO is likely, but a decision is also possible. The host considered a parlay with Jamall Emmers.

Parlay with Jamall Emmers at around +115 to +160 for 2-2.5 units. Also considered straight bet at -250 but line not ideal.

"I think he's just so good at reading his opponents and capitalizing on those situations... I'm gonna go with Adesanya a fourth round TKO and a possible parlay piece with Jamall Emmers."

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Feb 27, 2020 (9 days before fight)

Israel Adesanya

The MMA Guru picks Israel Adesanya, citing his striking level, reach advantage (7 inches), and ability to get up from takedowns. He notes Romero's recent close losses and age (42), and believes Adesanya will pick him apart with front kicks and knees, eventually finishing him in the third or fourth round by TKO. He also mentions Romero's tendency to leave himself open to uppercuts.

third or fourth round TKO

"I think he's gonna pick about y'all Romero from the outside with front kicks to the stomach eventually earning himself a finish in the third or fourth round once Romero has slowed down a little bit from all the damage …"
