AJ does not make a pick for this fight. He only mentions the fighters in passing when listing fights on the card, but offers no analysis or prediction.

Big Brady picks Jacoby to win by first-round knockout, citing his experience, kickboxing, volume, and cardio. He acknowledges Satybaldiev's power and danger, but believes Jacoby's durability is declining and Satybaldiev has a puncher's chance. He expects a car crash where someone goes to sleep, and favors Jacoby due to his superior level of competition.

Angelo picks Diyar Nurgozhay despite calling him a 'hitable loser bum' in his raw notes from his last fight. He chalks that up to anger and frustration, and notes that he has seen Diyar win in the UFC octagon. He thinks Uran Satybaldiev doesn't like striking and that Diyar is the better prospect. He is not fully confident but goes with Diyar.

Big Brady picks Diyar Nurgozhay as an underdog despite concerns about his weight miss and poor performance in his last fight. He acknowledges Nurgozhay has solid striking, a nasty headkick, and takedown upside, and notes that Satybaldiev can be taken down and controlled. However, he is not betting on the fight due to Nurgozhay's weight miss and the line movement. He predicts a decision win for Nurgozhay.

Connor also picks Satybaldiev, agreeing that his pressure and willingness to be first will be key. He notes that Nurgozhay has a problem with letting opponents dictate the fight and hasn't shown the counter-punching skills of someone like Imavov. Connor expects Satybaldiev to wrestle and grind out a win.

The host believes there is recency bias against Nurgozhay, who did not look himself last time. He expects Nurgozhay to utilize his grapple-heavy approach and stay away from Satybaldiev's aggressive striking, as Satybaldiev does not have a great game off his back. The host predicts Nurgozhay will keep the fight on the ground and win on the scorecards.

The MMA Guru picks Uran Satybaldiev based on his performance against Martin Buday on short notice, which he now views as decent in hindsight. He notes that Satybaldiev is more fluid on the back foot and flows better in striking compared to Diyar Nurgozhay, who he describes as slow, plodding forward with a noticeable tick. He also mentions that Satybaldiev has faced better competition on the regional scene and doesn't expect either fighter to outgrapple the other significantly.
