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"

DFS by the Numbers

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"

Half the Battle

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."

MMA Lock of the Night

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"

Deiveson Figueiredo vs. John Moraga
Flyweight contender Deiveson Figueiredo continued to impress on Saturday night by mauling John Moraga on the ground before finishing him on the feet. “Daico” scored a powerful takedown early in the second and once he was on top, he pounded away at the Phoenix-based fighter with punches and elbows. Moraga was rocked by an elbow to the head but was able to scramble up to his feet, but his safety was never ensured. Once up, Figueiredo landed another elbow to the head and then slammed a crushing left uppercut to the solar plexus, causing Moraga (19-7) to crumble in a heap. Referee Dave Jobeun immediately waived it off, saving a bloodied Moraga from further punishment. The end officially came at 3:08 of the second, allowing Figueiredo to ascend to 15-0.
Welcome to the top ten, Deiveson Figueiredo! The savage "Deus da Guerra" (15-0) becomes the first to stop John Moraga with strikes, opening up a crimson mask before nailing the coffin in the second. Figueiredo has finished 13 of 15 wins, eight by knockout. #UFCLincoln pic.twitter.com/sDSR278IXv — Tanuki Usman (@Hamderlei) August 26, 2018
