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"

Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Darrell Montague

Round 1
The flyweights take the better part of one minute to engage, and when they do, it’s Horiguchi coming down the center with a straight right and following with a leg kick. An overhand right from Horiguchi misses as Montague push-kicks him out of range. Two minutes in, Montague shoots low and easily floors Horiguchi with a takedown. Horiguchi plays with his open guard, controlling Montague’s wrists until the “Mongoose” allows him to stand. Horiguchi counters a low kick with a hard right hand over the top. Horiguchi is showing good movement in the latter half of the round, dipping in and out of range to land single strikes on Montague.

Round 2
Montague gets Horiguchi up against the fence and frames up a standing arm-triangle choke, then jumps guard with a guillotine. Horiguchi puts Montague’s back to the fence and frees his head before backing away and resetting to strike. Montague lands a leg kick, cuts angles on the outside and pops Horiguchi with a counter right hand. Horiguchi strikes back with a right hook and has a high kick blocked, then repeats the sequence. Horiguchi goes to the body, catches Montague leaning over and cracks him with a left hook. Montague sprints away, getting clipped with a right hand on the way out. Horiguchi shuts down a takedown attempt, puts Montague in a headlock and drills him with a knee. Montague is on his knees, eating right hands from Horiguchi, while referee Gary Copeland tells the American to defend himself. With two minutes left, Horiguchi gives up on punching and takes control of his kneeling opponent. When Montague tries to stand, Horiguchi hits a suplex and tacks on a couple more punches. Montague stands and pushes Horiguchi backward with a long left hand. Horiguchi sticks another good left hand up top and then hurts Montague with a hard right to the body. Both men are still firing at the horn, but it’s Montague who goes staggering back to his corner, barely standing.

Round 3
Montague misses as he lunges at Horiguchi with a flying knee, then chases after the former Shooto champion and eats a pair of hard counter rights. Horiguchi dives into range with a sweeping left hand and then rips a kick to the body. He dumps Montague to the ground and stands over him, stacking up the American and dropping punches with both hands. Montague escapes to his feet with about two minutes left in the fight. The “Mongoose” is trying to jab his way into range but can’t find the mark. He settles for a kick to the body, but Horiguchi is still landing clean counters when Montague steps into the pocket. Twenty seconds left and Montague connects with a hard right hand upstairs, then a right hook. Both guys are still throwing hands when the final horn sounds.
