Danaa Batgerel

Big Brady picks Batgerel to win by second-round knockout. He criticizes Natividad's striking defense, calling it awful, and notes that Batgerel is a powerful striker who can crack. He expects Batgerel to land a knockout, as Natividad has been knocked out in both his losses.

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Apr 22, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

Cody also leans toward Batgerel but is not confident, noting his raw style and power. He thinks Natividad could have a wrestling advantage but expects Batgerel to win the striking exchanges. He passes on the -180 price.

"way back gorilla it's tough to get behind him at this price 100 minus 180 he's just very raw"

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Apr 23, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

Daniel leans with Danaa Batgerel due to his volume and recent knockout, but he agrees the line is too high and calls it a dog or pass situation. He notes that Kevin Natividad is a straightforward boxer with power and could catch Batgerel. He would not recommend laying -200 on Batgerel.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Apr 23, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

I really like Batgerel in this spot. He's a talented Muay Thai striker with power, and Natividad has shown durability issues, getting knocked out by Miles Johns. Batgerel should be able to stuff takedowns and wear on Natividad, eventually getting a TKO. I like Batgerel by KO at +245, and the fight doesn't go the distance at -115 is also a solid play.

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Apr 22, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Danaa Batgerel

Paul leans toward Batgerel, citing his aggression and power. He notes Natividad's poor UFC debut on short notice but expects him to look better. He thinks Batgerel's pressure and willingness to exchange will be key, but the -180 price is a pass. He sees Batgerel winning by KO or decision.

"if this stays standing back girl's got the advantage i think that he's got better cardio slightly better cardio but he's got more of this just like willing to win attitude"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Oct 28, 2020 (3 days before fight)
Kevin Natividad

Big Brady believes the line is off and that Natividad is the better striker with higher output. He notes Johns has poor takedown defense and cardio issues, while Natividad has solid defensive wrestling and get-up game. He predicts a close decision win for Natividad.

underdog pick of the night
"i think the line is off i am going to go with nativity that i think this fight should honestly be closer to a pick them"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked Oct 26, 2020 (5 days before fight)
Miles Johns

Miles Johns is coming off his first pro loss but has a good camp at 47 MMA. He should use his grappling and cage control to nullify Natividad's striking, but there are concerns about Johns' cardio if he expends energy clinching. The line is a bit wide at -185, so not confident enough to bet.

"I do side with John's I do think the line is a little bit wide... I'll still go with miles john's to win this fight via decision"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Oct 25, 2020 (6 days before fight)
Miles Johns

The MMA Guru believes Miles Johns is a much better fighter than Kevin Natividad, citing Natividad's weak competition and close fights against cans. He expects Johns to dominate and submit Natividad in the second round via guillotine choke.

"i think that miles johns is going to crush this guy and potentially submit him in the second round by guillotine choke"
