Expert Picks (7)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Dec 4, 2022 (6 days before fight)
Cameron Saaiman

Angelo picks Saaiman because he believes the gap in striking is wider than the gap in grappling. He notes that Koslow is an aggressive grappler but his striking is not great, while Saaiman is a technical striker who can also grapple. However, he strongly advises against betting on this fight due to both fighters being UFC debutants with only six fights each, calling it a 50-50 fight.

Do not bet on this fight; save your money.
"saman is going to be my my pick because I think the gap between their striking is much wider than the gap between their grappling but again save your money do not bet on this fight"
BI
Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Dec 7, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Cameron Saaiman

Big Brady picks Cameron Saaiman to win, but with low confidence due to limited tape on both fighters. He notes Saaiman has power and finishing ability, but questions his takedown defense and getup game against Koslow's submission threat. He expects Koslow to have early success with takedowns, but thinks Saaiman will eventually land a knockout as the fight progresses.

Saaiman wins by second round knockout
"I'm gonna pick Simon to win this fight I'm gonna take him to win by second round at knockout"

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Dec 7, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Cameron Saaiman

Cody picks Saaiman, citing his performance on Contender Series where he beat an undefeated opponent. He notes Saaiman's cardio, strength, and pressure. He thinks Koslow is a one-dimensional submission specialist who will struggle if he can't get the fight to the ground. He expects Saaiman to win by TKO inside the distance.

Saaiman inside the distance (-120)
"I think he puts a beating on him I think he does fluke submission sure it could happen but uh I don't even think he gets a fight to the ground if he does it's for a second and if he's forced to stay standing he's gonna get mauled and stopped by TKO"
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Dec 6, 2022 (4 days before fight)
Steven Koslow

Daniel Levi picks Steven Koslow as a slight underdog lean, but admits he has very little information on either fighter. He likes Koslow's slick grappling (mounted triangle, back takes) and training at Fusion XL. He notes Saaiman has fought slightly better competition but still low-level. Levi says this is a 'dog or pass' situation and he'll go with the plus money, but it's not a confident play. He suggests taking a small unit bet or just watching.

Small unit bet on Koslow at +270.
"I'll actually go with Cosmo because it seems like a dog or pass situation but it's not like a convicted play"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Dec 9, 2022 (1 day before fight)
Steven Koslow

Lock mentions he took a 0.3 unit shot on Koslow's moneyline because he thinks the line is a bit wide. He believes Koslow is strong in areas where Saaiman has shown struggles in the past, and that the unknown factor could make Koslow the next big prospect. He sees it as a buy-low opportunity at 30 cents on PredictionStrike.

0.3 unit bet on moneyline
"I personally have taken a shot on him myself you know a 0.3 unit shot on his money line because I think it's a little bit wide and I think he is strong in parts of the game that Cameron Simon has shown struggles in the past"
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Dec 7, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Cameron Saaiman

Paul picks Saaiman, noting he is a young prospect with a bright future. He thinks Koslow is a one-dimensional grappler and that Saaiman's takedown defense and cardio will be key. He suggests Saaiman inside the distance as a prop.

Saaiman inside the distance
"Simon inside the distance actually doesn't seem all that bad to be perfectly honest it's Simon inside the distance is in the minus 120-ish range right now"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Dec 5, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Cameron Saaiman

The MMA Guru picks Cameron Saaiman over Steven Koslow, noting that Koslow is stepping in on short notice and tends to go for early submissions, which Saaiman can survive. He believes Saaiman is composed and experienced enough to weather the early storm and come back to win a 29-28 decision, losing the first round but taking the second and third.

"I'm gonna go over 29-28 decision for Cameron Simon losing the first round escaping some bad situations and then coming back into second and third to win the fight"
