Jacob picks Abdullayev, citing his home turf advantage, larger frame, and the fact that Nascimento fought just three weeks ago and has a fresh cut near his eye that could open up. He believes Abdullayev will come out hot and bulldoze Nascimento early, possibly via doctor stoppage.

He believes Abdullayev is not UFC-level and lacks wrestling advantage. However, he is not confident due to Nascimento's potential diminished performance.
