Duško Todorović

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Feb 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Devin Clark

Daniel Levi picks Devin Clark to grind out a win, potentially by decision or submission. He notes Clark's explosiveness and wrestling, and that Townsend is not UFC caliber, with questionable grappling. However, he warns that Clark can be untrustworthy and might get caught, so he doesn't like the -380 price.

decision, possibly a choke submission
"I'll still go with Devin Clark to the grind this one out potentially powder choke this guy out but most likely a decision"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Jan 24, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Bevon Lewis

Daniel picks Bevon Lewis to win, but cautions that he is a heavy favorite and to proceed with caution. He notes that Townsend has poor takedown defense and cardio, and that Lewis is better in wrestling, clinch, and cardio. However, he questions Lewis's confidence after a knockout loss and a tentative performance.

"i'ma go bail on I think he's a favor here for a reason but this much of a favorite proceed with caution"

Bevon Lewis

The MMA Guru picks Bevon Lewis, noting he was doing well against Uriah Hall before getting caught, and had a close split decision loss to Darren Stewart. He views Lewis as much younger and more athletic than Townsend, who was annihilated by Oskar Piechota.

"I'm going with Bhavani Lewis sir I really am a much younger guy more athletic a little bit smaller I'm gonna go with Bhuvana Lewis getting a job done"
