Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Angelo picks Yancy Medeiros, noting that Medeiros has made big life changes by moving back to Hawaii and reinvesting in his career. He acknowledges Medeiros's aggressive style, good takedown defense, and competence on the ground, but also notes he is finishable. Angelo is less confident this time around compared to the first booking because he doesn't know what Medeiros has been doing since the fight was rebooked. He still leans Medeiros but is not as strong as before.

"i really love the auntie medeiros the first time jacob i think you you were with me on that train the first go-around has your mind changed are you still all about yancey in this fight or are you going …"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jun 22, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Damir Hadžović

Big Brady picks Damir Hadžović to win by knockout, citing Medeiros's poor 46% striking defense and three knockout losses. He notes Hadžović's power and 77% finish rate, while acknowledging Medeiros's volume and reach advantage. He expects a standing fight since Medeiros rarely wrestles, and predicts a first or second round KO.

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Cody picks Medeiros as a dog, citing his experience, reach advantage, and output. He notes Hadžović has poor takedown defense and is one-dimensional. Medeiros has fought a who's who and has the durability to survive early power shots. Cody thinks Medeiros can outwork Hadžović over three rounds. He also mentions that this fight was scheduled four weeks ago and Hadžović pulled out, which is a positive for Medeiros.

"i'm gonna go with the dog play on yancey all right and hope he doesn't get caught early"

Jacob Lines Expert Lock picked Jun 23, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Jacob picks Yancy Medeiros as his lock of the week, citing 'Hawaiian tough' and his friendship with the Diaz brothers as reasons for confidence. He believes Medeiros will be hyped up and ready to go. Jacob does not provide detailed technical analysis but is very confident in the pick.

"block of the week nancy medeiros i always talk about hawaiian tough i'm putting my money where my big mouth is and i'm making hawaiian tough the lock of the week"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jun 24, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Damir Hadžović

Hadžović is a powerful striker with good combinations. Medeiros has decent jiu-jitsu but his takedowns and grappling aren't good enough to keep Hadžović down. On the feet, Hadžović will land the more impactful shots and likely finish Medeiros in the second round via TKO. Medeiros is wild and loopy, while Hadžović is more technical.

Yancy Medeiros

Paul leans toward Medeiros but is not confident. He notes Medeiros' durability has been compromised by wars, but he has a reach advantage and experience. He thinks Hadžović has power but is one-dimensional. Paul is not sure about Medeiros' chin but thinks the dog price is worth a shot.

"i would go with the underdog auntie maduro so again uh you know this is a card underdogs are going to come through"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Feb 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Yancy Medeiros

Daniel Levi picks Yancy Medeiros to win by unanimous decision or third-round submission. He believes Vannata is a lost cause with a fragile chin and poor fight IQ, while Medeiros has the Hawaiian spirit and will take over after the first round. He notes Vannata's tendency to gas at the 7-minute mark and not check kicks.
