AJ gives a slight lean to Ko Seok-hyun, noting his rangy karate style and takedown ability. He sees the fight as close, with Ko possibly winning boxing exchanges and controlling from top, while Lebosnoyani has dangerous jiu-jitsu. AJ expects a competitive decision favoring Ko.

AJ picks Ko by decision, noting Ko's superior boxing and wrestling compared to Lebosnoyani's kickboxing. He trusts Ko's UFC experience and dominant win over Phil Rowe, while Lebosnoyani struggled in a split decision. He likes the decision prop at +125 and also considers the over 2.5 rounds.

AJ picks Ko Seok-hyun, citing his versatile MMA game, takedown threat, and positional dominance. He believes Ko's boxing and awkward karate-style striking can match Lebosnoyani's kicks, and that Ko's wrestling will be the difference. He expects a decision win, as Ko is a 'decision merchant' who controls position.

Angelo picks Ko Seok-hyun (referred to as 'Co'), believing he is the more complete fighter with better takedowns and striking. He expects Ko to wrestle and avoid getting caught by Lebosnoyani's wild power. He doesn't love the minus 200 odds but thinks Ko gets it done.

Angelo picks Ko Seok-hyun (Co) because he believes Co's wrestling-heavy approach will score well in DFS, as he has scored over 100 points in both UFC fights. He notes that Jean-Paul's takedowns are not very good, giving Co an advantage.

Big Brady picks Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani for the upset, citing his superior jiu-jitsu, ability to get back up from takedowns, and striking power. He believes Ko Seok-hyun's wrestling will play into Lebosnoyani's game, and Ko's chin is questionable. He predicts a second-round knockout.

Cody picks Ko, citing his suffocating wrestling and takedown game. He notes Ko's durability concerns but believes his game plan of smothering opponents with takedowns will work against Lebosnoyani, who accepts being on his back. He thinks Ko's wrestling and control will win the fight.

Daniel Levi picks Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani as a plus-200 underdog, believing the odds are off. He thinks Lebosnoyani's jiu-jitsu phenom background and confidence on the mat will trouble Ko, who has been knocked out before. He expects Lebosnoyani to compete well and potentially finish Ko, despite Ko's recent impressive wins.

Lucrative James picks Ko Seok-hyun to win by decision, citing Ko's methodical style, in-and-out karate movement, and superior wrestling. He notes that Ko is good everywhere and should be able to implement takedowns and control the fight. He acknowledges Lebosnoyani's toughness and tricky jiu-jitsu but expects Ko to win a decision.

The host expects Ko to utilize power striking and mix in grappling to wear down Lebosnoyani, leading to a second or third round knockout.

Ko has shown improved grappling and ground-and-pound, as seen in his wins over Oban Elliott and Phil Rowe, and has the durability and power to wear down Lebosnoyani. Lebosnoyani is a BJJ black belt but has defensive flaws and may slow down, allowing Ko to land a knockout. Ko's striking and top pressure should be too much.

Paul picks Ko, noting his clean, reliable style and elite takedowns. He mentions Ko's knockout loss but thinks his positional control and wrestling will dominate. He believes Lebosnoyani's submission threats off his back won't work against Ko's top control.

Angelo picks Ko Seok-hyun, citing his heavy hands, forward pressure, and ability to mix in takedowns. He notes Phil Rowe is a good striker with length but can be low volume and gets hit a lot. He thinks Ko's weird stance and aggression will cause problems, and if Ko gets takedowns like he did against Oban Elliott, he is worth the money.

Big Brady picks Philip Rowe as an upset, citing a market overreaction after Ko Seok-hyun's win over Oban Elliott. He notes Rowe has a 9-inch reach advantage and is the much bigger fighter with power. However, he acknowledges Ko's new wrestling wrinkle and that Rowe often loses the first round. He predicts Rowe will stuff takedowns and get a third-round knockout.

Connor agrees with Zane, noting that Ko's aggressive clinch game and pressure will be a problem for Rowe. He thinks once Ko gets a strong start, he will be more aggressive and controlling as the fight goes on. He acknowledges Rowe could win if he sits outside and throws straight shots, but Ko's style is difficult to handle.

Lucrative James picks Ko Seok-hyun to win, highlighting his well-rounded skills including southpaw striking reminiscent of Conor McGregor, judo throws, and strong grappling. He notes that Philip Rowe has issues with being taken down and playing guard, which plays into Ko's strengths. James expects Ko to win a clean decision, possibly 30-27, by controlling the fight with his grappling and striking.

Ko can disrupt the space of Rowe, who needs comfort to get off his offense. Ko will keep Rowe moving backwards, land a few takedowns, and win on the scorecards.

The MMA Guru picks Song Yadong KO (Ko Seok-hyun) over Philip Rowe. He notes Rowe's size and reach but believes Ko's aggression, grappling, and KO power will be decisive. He criticizes Rowe's slow starts and lack of quality wins, while Ko's win over Oban Elliott impressed him. He predicts an early KO in round one.

Angelo picks Oban Elliott confidently, noting his well-rounded skills, cardio, and ability to flow. He contrasts Oban's movement with Ko's stiffness and power, predicting that Oban will avoid big shots and win early. He thinks Oban's footwork and range control will be key, and that Ko's lack of setup will be exploited.

Big Brady picks Oban Elliott, the biggest favorite on the card. He notes Elliott has fixed previous chin and cardio issues, is only 27, and trains at a good gym. Brady is not sold on Ko, who had limited footage and a boring Contender Series win. He thinks Elliott will do better work on the feet and can mix in takedowns. He predicts Elliott by decision.

Connor agrees with Zane, noting that Elliott has turned his neutralizing style into a potentially elite MMA game by making opponents frustrated and error-prone. He compares Ko to Bogdan Grad, describing him as a pressure fighter who trudges forward but lacks power and dynamic ability. Connor believes Elliott's length and counter-striking will frustrate Ko, leading to a violent finish.

The host acknowledges that Ko will provide resistance, especially if Elliott looks for a takedown-heavy approach. However, he expects Elliott to mix it up well with volume striking and takedown threat to grind out a decision win.

The MMA Guru picks Oban Elliott, despite acknowledging bias as a friend. He praises Elliott's ability to overcome adversity and resistance in fights, citing his comebacks against Val Woodburn and others. He believes Elliott's well-roundedness and durability will overcome Ko Seok-hyun, predicting a third-round finish.
