Angelo Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Alejandro Pérez

Angelo picks Alejandro Pérez despite the long layoff, citing his fresher chin, better striking, and wrestling backup plan. He notes that Pérez has good boxing and speed, though not insane power, and that his wrestling background is used defensively to keep the fight standing. Angelo is hesitant because both fighters have been out for years and are coming off two losses, making this a high-variance matchup. He explicitly says he is not betting on Pérez due to too many unknowns, but he did bet on the fight not going the distance at -115.

fight does not go the distance at -115
"i like alejandro perez in this fight he's a decent favorite i get why he's got the fresher chin he's got the better striking"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Sep 30, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Alejandro Pérez

Big Brady picks Alejandro Pérez to win by finish, citing Eduardo's age (43 years old) and long layoff (3 years 3 months). He notes Eduardo is dangerous early but fades, and Pérez is over 10 years younger. He expects Pérez to survive the first round and then take over for a finish, possibly by submission given Eduardo has been submitted nine times.

Cody Saftic Expert Hesitant picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Alejandro Pérez

Cody picks Perez but is not confident. He notes that Eduardo is 41 and hasn't fought in three years, but Perez has chin issues and poor takedown accuracy. He expects Perez to win by decision or inside the distance, but acknowledges Eduardo's early power. He suggests betting Perez inside the distance or the under.

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Oct 1, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Alejandro Pérez

Daniel Levi picks Alejandro Pérez, citing Eduardo's age (42 at bantamweight) and tendency to fade after the first round. He notes Pérez is younger, fresher, and coming off a long layoff after a KO loss, which may have allowed him to heal. Levi warns that Eduardo is dangerous early with his Muay Thai power, but if Pérez survives the first five minutes, he can win a decision or get a late finish. He has a soft spot for Eduardo but picks Pérez.

"my pick is going to be alejandro perez to get this one done"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 1, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Alejandro Pérez

I think Pérez's durability will carry him through Eduardo's early aggression. Eduardo tends to fade as the fight goes on, and Pérez should take over later. I'm not worried about Eduardo's power compared to Song Yadong, who finished Pérez. I like Pérez by decision at +250 as a prop, but the moneyline is fine too.

Pérez by decision +250
"I feel like you got to go with perez here man he's been showing his durability"

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Alejandro Pérez

Paul picks Perez, noting that Eduardo is 41 and has been out for three years. He believes Perez's youth and activity will be key. He expects Perez to win by decision or late stoppage. He also mentions that Eduardo has poor fight IQ, as seen in his submission loss to Nathaniel Wood.

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Sep 27, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Alejandro Pérez

The MMA Guru picks Alejandro Pérez, noting that Johnny Eduardo is 43 years old and returning after three years off. He believes Pérez is in his athletic prime and has shown good grappling against Cody Stamann. Eduardo's only chance is a first-round KO, but Pérez has only been KO'd once. He predicts Pérez will wear down Eduardo and get a late second-round TKO.

Pérez by TKO in round 2 or 3
"i'm going with perez by third round tko just wearing down an older man in johnny eduardo and piecing him up maybe a late second round tko for alejandro perez"

Aljamain Sterling vs. Johnny Eduardo

Round 1
Eduardo takes up a spot in the center of the cage, while Sterling cuts angles around the outside, switching between orthodox and southpaw stances. The bantamweights exchange leg kicks, then Sterling flicks out a few side kicks and fakes a takedown attempt. Sterling steps inside again, ducking low and then going upstairs with a high kick which Eduardo deflects. The Brazilian puts a loud kick on Sterling’s lead leg, which is constantly changing as the “Funkmaster” switches stances. Sterling shoots near the fence and hits a takedown with just over two minutes on the clock. Eduardo gets flattened out on his back and tries to hold Sterling in half guard as the American presses to advance. With few strikes being thrown on the mat, referee Marc Goddard calls for action. Sterling gets busy with a few short left hands and then drops a heavy right on Eduardo’s face, opening a small cut on the outside of his left eye. Eduardo works back to his feet in the closing seconds but is held in a headlock and cracked with a Sterling knee as time expires.

Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Sterling
Jeff Sherwood scores the round 10-9 Sterling

Round 2
Sterling continues to switch stances at the onset of the second stanza, this time doing a better job of avoiding Eduardo’s heavy leg kicks. There’s not much action through the first minute as Sterling circles the perimeter, steering clear of Eduardo altogether. Another minute passes with little offense of which to speak, save a few low kicks from Eduardo, answered by Sterling with a couple kicks to the body. Eduardo begins to let his hands go midway through the round, then sprawls on a shot and tries to catch Sterling in a guillotine. The submission attempt weakens Eduardo’s takedown defense and allows Sterling to complete the shot near the fence. Sterling gets busy with heavy ground-and-pound, landing a dozen or more right hands to Eduardo’s face. Eduardo sits up to try and stand, but Sterling immediately catches him in a guillotine and forces him back to the mat. Sterling steps over to full mount, squeezes the choke and elicits a tap.

Cody Stamann

Angelo picks Cody Stamann, citing his well-rounded skills, wrestling background, and pace. He notes Stamann averages almost 3 takedowns per fight and has no problem getting in his opponent's face. He acknowledges Eddie Wineland's experience and danger but believes Stamann's wrestling and pace will be the difference.

"cody stayman is the pick here but proper respect should be shown to somebody as experienced and as dangerous as eddie weinland"

Cody Stamann

Big Brady picks Cody Stamann to win by second-round knockout. He acknowledges Stamann is a wrestler but believes he can outstrike Wineland, who has poor striking defense and a weak chin. He notes Wineland's takedown defense is historically good, but Stamann's power and Wineland's decline make a knockout likely.

Cody Stamann

Cody picks Stamann, noting his tough competition and advanced skill set. He thinks Wineland's chin and reflexes are gone, and Stamann will win by decision or TKO. He suggests waiting for weigh-ins due to Stamann's weight cut issues.

"i think cody stamen is probably top ticket if not second ticket material"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Jun 16, 2022 (2 days before fight)
Cody Stamann

Daniel Levi confidently picks Cody Stamann, noting Eddie Wineland is damaged goods at 38 and has been knocked out by lesser fighters. Stamann is a competent, well-rounded fighter who wins rounds, though he rarely finishes. Levi expects a unanimous decision but acknowledges the -700 price is not worth betting. He simply states Stamann is the pick.

Stamann -700 is too high to bet; expects decision
"cody stamen's the pick you know it doesn't take much courage or smarts to pick a minor 700 favorite"

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Jun 15, 2022 (3 days before fight)

Paul agrees, noting Wineland's age and recent KO losses. He thinks the UFC is giving Stamann a favorable matchup and he should win easily. He also suggests waiting for weigh-ins.

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jun 13, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Cody Stamann

The MMA Guru confidently picks Cody Stamann, calling it a no-brainer. He notes that Eddie Wineland is 37 and has taken a lot of damage, while Stamann is younger and has good grappling. He expects Stamann to use his wrestling to secure takedowns and ride out a 30-27 decision, as Wineland is a veteran unlikely to be submitted but unable to stop the grappling.

"cody stamen's going to get this one done against eddie wineland i just don't see first of all eddie weinland being able to stop the grappling of cody stamen at this point in his career"

Eddie Wineland vs. John Castaneda

Round 1
Former WEC champ and marvelously mustached Wineland (24-14-1, 6-8 UFC) will try to prove he still has something left in the tank against ex-Combate Americas staple Castaneda (17-5, 0-1 UFC) at bantamweight. The third man inside the Octagon is referee Jason Herzog, who sees the two men touch gloves before throwing down. Wineland leads off with an oblique kick to the knee, and he walks forward only to take a front kick to the side. Wineland aims another one of these low kicks, and he lets fly a head kick right after it. As Castaneda replies with a right hand, Wineland is on him with kicks. A one-two from Wineland makes him get comfortable, and he fires off another head kick that gets blocked. Wineland puts together a combination ending with a leg kick, and he takes a leg kick to loose a right hand. Wineland walks through low kicks to chain punches together, and he gets off a body kick. Castaneda is struggling to find his range, backed up against the fence until he crashes in and may have clashed heads to clinch. Wineland gains separation and sits down on several punches, where he gest Castaneda’s attention and may have hurt Castaneda’s nose. “Sexi Mexi” once more charges into a clinch, but Wineland is not having it, instead preferring to strike at his range. Wineland ignores a leg kick and weaves back to avoid a looping head kick, keeping his hands low and letting go with a body kick. As Wineland is about to fire off a right hand, he gets halted with a front kick. Wineland redoubles his effort and scores a right hand, but Castaneda rings his bell with a quick counter. The former WEC champ, who keeps changing stances and moving his hands all over, is befuddling Castaneda but not avoiding all strikes coming his way. Castaneda gets off a left hand that marks up Wineland’s nose, and Wineland gives him one right back. Wineland aims a punch to the body, uses head movement and pushes Castaneda over when Castaneda throws a head kick at him. Wineland dives down when Castaneda is on his back to land a big right hand, but “Sexi Mexi” rolls through and gets back up. Castaneda tries to connect with a leg kick, and Wineland greets him with a straight right hand. Wineland stutter-steps his way forward, eating a quick left hand but bearing down on Castaneda with punches.
Castaneda is able to keep him at bay for the most part, chipping at Wineland with low kicks until he slings a right hand that rocks Wineland. Castaneda knows his man is hurt, and in rapid succession, he gets off a half dozen punches that knock Wineland back into the fence and down to a knee. Castaneda keeps on the pressure with a final bombardment of punches, and Herzog has seen enough.
The stoppage, which is questioned by Wineland as soon as the former WEC champ gets back to his feet, is unquestionably the biggest victory of Castaneda’s career.

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Feb 19, 2021 (1 day before fight)
John Castañeda

Daniel Levi respects Eddie Wineland's career but notes he fights with his hands down and has been knocked out badly in recent fights. He thinks Castañeda, though not overwhelming, can be slightly more active and durable. Levi believes Wineland might be gun-shy coming off the knockout loss to Sean O'Malley. He picks Castañeda to edge a decision, but acknowledges that a prime Wineland would smoke him.

"i'm gonna go with john castaneda here look i know that he's not an overwhelming fighter i know that you know he's not gonna blow anyone away but i think he can just slightly be a little more active than …"

Sean O'Malley vs. Eddie Wineland

Round 1
Kicking off the pay-per-view main card is yet another one of those bouts pitting an up-and-coming prospect of “Sugar Sean” O’Malley (11-0, 3-0 UFC) against former WEC champ Wineland (24-13-1, 6-7 UFC) at bantamweight. Will O’Malley remain undefeated, or can Wineland show that he is not a spent force at 35? Like referee Herb Dean, we will find out very soon. Wineland comes out charging hard, and O’Malley starts with a few low kicks and just misses with a head kick. Wineland takes a few more kicks up the middle while trying to close the distance, and the vet is looking to land that big right hand. Wineland ducks another head kick, and whiffs on a right while stalking him down. Wineland tries to swing his way in, and O’Malley ducks away and bounces off the fence before scoring with a solid right hand and two kicks to the body. Wineland cracks him with a right hand, and he stands O’Malley up and makes him backpedal. Another thumping right lands on the shoulder, and O’Malley visibly reacts to the shot. O’Malley recovers and scores a spinning back kick, and then a body kick. He clips Wineland with a right hand at the end of that exchange, and backs off to reset. O’Malley fakes with an uppercut, unloads a blistering right hand on the jaw, and Wineland crashes to the canvas. It’s good night Irene! The former champ is out cold, and O’Malley walks away to celebrate. Seeing that Wineland is done like dinner, Dean indeed stops the fight, and this is by far the biggest win of O’Malley’s career. The “Sugar” show keeps on rolling, ladies and gentlemen.

Sean O'Malley

Big Brady confidently picks Sean O'Malley by first-round knockout, citing Wineland's poor striking defense and O'Malley's power and volume. He notes Wineland holds his hands low and is hittable, and O'Malley should exploit that. He thinks the fight stays on the feet and O'Malley finishes early. He considers the line too wide to bet but suggests looking at the KO prop.

Sean O'Malley

Daniel sees a clear stylistic advantage for O'Malley because Wineland fights with his hands down and chin up, which plays into O'Malley's counter-striking. He recalls betting on Johnny Eduardo to beat Wineland for the same reason. He predicts O'Malley will knock Wineland out, likely in the first round, citing O'Malley's speed, accuracy, and creative striking.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jun 4, 2020 (2 days before fight)
Sean O'Malley

Sean O'Malley has a significant reach and height advantage, and his movement and kicking should keep Eddie Wineland at range. Wineland is a heavy puncher but telegraphs his shots, and O'Malley's footwork should allow him to avoid danger. O'Malley will likely take a measured approach, working the outside before opening up. The over 1.5 rounds is also a good play.

Sean O'Malley

The MMA Guru picks Sean O'Malley over Eddie Wineland. He believes O'Malley is on a different level, too quick and rangy for the older Wineland. He predicts a first-round KO, noting that Wineland's win over Grigory Popov doesn't prove he's back. He also discusses O'Malley's marketability and the need for impressive finishes.
