He acknowledges Oliveira's physicality and danger but thinks Sobotta's path to victory via submission is viable. He is worried about Oliveira bullying Sobotta early.

"i'm actually going to take him for the upset uh but i know it could go very wrong early... one back take one full mount uh and the fight might be over shortly after so i'm gonna go with peter …"

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jul 23, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Peter Sobotta

Sobotta is the more technical fighter with superior grappling and submission skills. Oliveira is wild and has a poor gas tank, often fading in the third round. Sobotta can take Oliveira down and submit him late, or outpoint him on the feet. The line should be closer, and Sobotta offers value at plus money.

Sobotta by submission in round 3

"i think he's very very skilled and oliver again just being the wild man that he is he's a very beatable fighter"

MMA Lock of the Night

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jul 19, 2020 (7 days before fight)

Alex Oliveira

The MMA Guru picks Alex Oliveira, noting his activity and momentum from a win over Max Griffin. He points out that Sobotta hasn't fought since March 2018 and lost to Leon Edwards. He also mentions Oliveira's reach advantage and jiu-jitsu, and believes Oliveira will get the job done.

"I'm going to be going with Alex Oliviera here, but I understand that Sabot is a dangerous opponent."

Nicolas Dalby vs. Peter Sobotta

Round 1
Sobotta’s first low kick of the fight draws a warning from referee Leon Roberts, as the shot strays close to Dalby’s groin. Sobotta sticks a jab, lands a body kick and catches Dalby with a front kick to the face. Dalby tries to keep hold of the leg, but Sobotta hops backward until he can pull the limb free. A right hand from Sobotta sends Dalby to the mat, and the German tries to pound out his dazed opponent with a barrage of hammerfists. Dalby survives the follow-up attack and puts Sobotta in his guard. Sobotta looks to posture up and inflict more damage with punches, then passes to side control on Dalby’s right. Dalby wraps up tight from the bottom while Sobotta leans across his opponent’s body, looking perhaps for a kimura or choke setup. Nothing materializes there, so Sobotta goes back to dropping punches on Dalby’s face as they enter the final 90 seconds of the round. Dalby tries to roll free and has his back taken by Sobotta with 45 seconds on the clock. Sobotta throws punches with both hands, trying to soften up Dalby and apply a rear-naked choke. Dalby, leaking blood from a cut on his left cheek, defends well down the stretch and will survive to see round two.

Round 2
Dalby’s left eye is badly swollen as he emerges for the second frame, but it’s Sobotta who needs a timeout after catching a finger in the eye during an early exchange. Referee Roberts calls for the cageside doctor, who quickly clears Sobotta to continue. On the restart, Sobotta catches a kick from Dalby, spins him around and drags him to the canvas. Dalby regains his footing, but only for a split-second before Sobotta trips him back to the mat. Sobotta works from deep half guard on Dalby’s right side, landing short left hands to the face while controlling the position. Sobotta is slowly working his way to full mount, but just before he gets there, Dalby pushes him back to half guard. Sobotta advances to side control with 90 seconds left in the round, gets pushed back to half guard 30 seconds later. Dalby is trying to mount some offense from the bottom, but there doesn’t appear to be much behind his punches. The referee calls for action; Sobotta obliges with three or four hard left hands to Dalby’s face.

Round 3
Dalby takes the outside position in the clinch and separates with a slashing elbow to Sobotta’s head. Sobotta seems unfazed by the strike and resumes jabbing Dalby’s damaged eye once the welterweights break the clinch. Now it’s Sobotta coming back to tie up, if only briefly. Dalby pushes him away and steps forward on the German, who uncorks a hard kick to the body. Dalby charges at Sobotta and has his own momentum used against him, as Sobotta drops levels and scores another takedown. Sobotta crams Dalby against the base of the fence and uses heavy top pressure to hold him down from side control. Dalby rolls to his knees, then puts his back on the mat again when Sobotta threatens to take his back. The 170-pounders scramble back to their feet with 20 seconds remaining. Dalby sprawls on Sobotta’s final takedown attempt, and that’s where it ends.
