Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Sep 21, 2021 (4 days before fight)

Nick Diaz

Angelo picks Diaz, defying logic. He argues that Lawler has taken years of damage in wars, while Diaz has had five years off to heal. Angelo believes Diaz's high volume and chin will be key, and he expects Diaz to overwhelm Lawler with strikes.

Angelo played more more on Monkey Knife Fight, expecting a high-volume fight. He also mentions DraftKings pricing: Diaz at $7,000 is better value.

"I'm picking Nick Diaz and it defies all logic"

Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Sep 21, 2021 (4 days before fight)

Robbie Lawler

Big Brady picks Robbie Lawler to win, but with very low confidence. He notes that Lawler has been more active, while Diaz hasn't fought in 6.5 years and hasn't won in 9.5 years. He admits there are too many unknowns to bet this fight and is picking Lawler simply because he's the more active fighter.

"i'll go robbie lawler but zero confidence"

DFS by the Numbers

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Sep 23, 2021 (2 days before fight)

Robbie Lawler

Cody picks Lawler, citing Diaz's long layoff, lack of recent wins, party lifestyle, and questionable training. He notes Lawler has been consistently training and competing against top competition. He also mentions Diaz's poor timing in recent sparring footage and the weight advantage Diaz may have, but still favors Lawler's activity and wrestling.

fight goes to decision (-125)

"i got to go with robbie but i'm so i'm so happy to see that diaz is back"

Bookie Beatdown

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Sep 24, 2021 (1 day before fight)

Nick Diaz

Daniel Levi leans toward Nick Diaz, citing Robbie Lawler's decline since the Carlos Condit fight. He notes Lawler has lost to Ben Askren and Colby Covington, and his spirit seems diminished. Levi believes if Diaz doesn't fall over early, his volume and cardio in a five-round fight will be too much for Lawler. However, he acknowledges the uncertainty around Diaz's long layoff and conditioning, making this a low-confidence pick.

"i do kind of see nick diaz getting to him down the stretch this is a five round fight"

Half the Battle

Jacob Lines Expert Lean picked Sep 21, 2021 (4 days before fight)

Robbie Lawler

Jacob picks Lawler, citing his recent activity and that he hasn't been finished in his losses. He thinks Lawler will look sharper and that Diaz may struggle early after the layoff. Jacob doesn't love the pick but leans Lawler.

Jacob placed a bet on the fight going the distance at +105. He also agrees with more more on Monkey Knife Fight due to five rounds.

"my pick's actually going to be Robbie"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Sep 25, 2021 (fight day)

Nick Diaz

The host leans towards Nick Diaz by fourth-round TKO. He believes Diaz's durability and pace will be key in a five-round fight. He expects Diaz to weather Lawler's early storm and then put it on him later. He notes that both fighters have question marks and advises against betting this fight, but likes the over 2.5 rounds. He thinks Diaz's legendary chin will hold up.

Over 2.5 rounds at -200

"i'm gonna go nick diaz probably round four tko"

MMA Lock of the Night

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Sep 23, 2021 (2 days before fight)

Robbie Lawler

Paul picks Lawler, acknowledging the uncertainty around Diaz's form and motivation. He notes Diaz hasn't won in 10 years and looked poor against Anderson Silva. He expects Lawler to be in shape and possibly use wrestling. He is interested in the weigh-ins for clues.

"i think robbie lawler that's where the money seems to be moving in right now robbie lawler would be my pick"

Bookie Beatdown

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Sep 19, 2021 (6 days before fight)

Robbie Lawler

The MMA Guru picks Robbie Lawler over Nick Diaz, despite acknowledging the possibility of a Diaz win. He cites Diaz's six-year layoff and questionable lifestyle, while Lawler has been active and trains daily. He expects Lawler to come out explosive and finish Diaz by first-round TKO, possibly with calf kicks. He notes that Lawler sees this as a retirement opportunity and will be motivated. He also mentions that Diaz's boxing-heavy style leaves him vulnerable to leg kicks.

first round tko, calf kicks

"i'm gonna go with robbie lawler here ... i think lawler's going to come out real explosive and i think he's going to get a first round ko over nick diaz"
