Angelo Bodetti Expert picked Aug 14, 2022 (6 days before fight)
No clear pick

Angelo refuses to make a moneyline pick due to the absurd odds (Tyson Pedro at -800). He calls the odds 'insane' and 'stupid,' noting that Pedro is 2-3 in his last five with two stoppage losses, while Hunsucker lost to heavy hitters Justin Tafa and Tai Tuivasa. He says Tyson probably wins but advises against betting the moneyline. Instead, he recommends betting 'does not go the distance' and the under on rounds, as he expects a knockout.

Recommends betting 'does not go the distance' and under 1.5 rounds. Also suggests using Monkey Knife Fight knockout kings prop.
"frankly tyson probably wins but don't bet on any of that just bet on does not go the distance one of these buffoons is getting put out period"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Aug 15, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Tyson Pedro

Big Brady is confident in Tyson Pedro. He notes that Harry Hunsucker has poor skills and was easily taken down and finished by Jared Vanderaa. Pedro is a big favorite and has the advantage everywhere, especially on the ground with good ground and pound and submissions. Brady expects Pedro to take Hunsucker down and finish him in the first round by ground and pound. He is a fan of Hunsucker but acknowledges the skill gap.

"i like pedro here to win paige to win my first round finish um i'll say first round ground and pound victory for tyson pedro here"

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Aug 17, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Tyson Pedro

Cody picks Pedro, emphasizing Hunsucker's poor competition and lack of durability. He thinks Pedro can win by leg kicks or takedowns, but warns about the banana peel pricing. He mentions a submission prop as a value play.

by submission (value play)
"i think you go pedro i i don't like to parlay props so i'm not going to but if you were going to play a straight play on tyson pedro you're going to look for that inside the distance and then particularly probably by knockout"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Aug 17, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Tyson Pedro

Daniel Levi picks Tyson Pedro to finish Harry Hunsucker in the first round. He jokes about Hunsucker's name and says Pedro will run the train on him. Levi is not sold on Pedro long-term but believes Hunsucker is not the guy to expose him. He expects a quick finish and notes that the under 1.5 rounds line is heavily juiced.

Says the under 1.5 rounds is minus 450 and jokes it should be under 1.5 minutes. Mentions that Pedro will finish him in the first round.
"Tyson Pedro's gonna finish him in the first round"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Aug 18, 2022 (2 days before fight)
Tyson Pedro

Pedro should win easily as Hunsucker is one of the worst fighters in the UFC, but the -750 price is terrible value. The host prefers betting the under 1.5 rounds or taking a small stab on Hunsucker by round 1 KO at +2200. He includes the under 1.5 in a four-leg parlay.

Under 1.5 rounds parlayed. Also mentions Hunsucker round 1 KO (+2200) as a small stab.
"I could not imagine playing minus 800 on tyson pedro yes he should smash here but this is a fight between two guys that hit very hard."

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Aug 17, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Tyson Pedro

Paul picks Pedro, calling Hunsucker a 'cupcake matchup'. He notes Pedro's path to victory via leg kicks or takedowns, but acknowledges the -800 line offers no value. He mentions he put $40 on Hunsucker by KO at 25-1 as a small flier.

Hunsucker round 1 KO/TKO at 25-1 (small bet)
"tyson pedro inside the distance is like minus 500 um the under one and a half rounds is gacked to minus 400 it's like tyson pedro wins harry hunsucker sucks but there's really nothing you can do with this"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Aug 20, 2022 (fight day)
Tyson Pedro

The Guru predicts Tyson Pedro wins by kimura submission in round two. He describes Pedro throwing half kicks at range, dodging Hunsucker's wild onslaughts, and landing jabs and teeps. He sees Pedro taking Hunsucker down in round two, taking side control, and locking in the kimura. He notes that the kimura is Pedro's favorite submission.

Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Dec 15, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Justin Tafa

Angelo picks Justin Tafa but thinks the odds are nuts. He believes Tafa should be a slight favorite around -150, not -400. He notes Tafa's chin is good and he has leg kicks, but Hunsucker is dangerous with his blitzing style. Angelo considers a small sprinkle on Hunsucker because it's heavyweight and both hit hard. He ultimately goes with Tafa but is not confident.

small sprinkle on Harry Hunsucker (mentioned as possibility)
"i'm gonna go top of here but i i want to be as clear as possible these odds are nuts"
BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked Dec 15, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Justin Tafa

Big Brady picks Justin Tafa to win by first-round knockout, citing Hunsucker's terrible gas tank (about 2.5 minutes) and tendency to fold. He notes Tafa's 100% finish rate and leg kick potential. He acknowledges Hunsucker could pull off an upset if he lands early, but expects Tafa to roll through him. He compares it to the Jordan Wright-Silva fight.

CO
Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Dec 16, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Justin Tafa

Cody is confident in Tafa, citing Hunsucker's poor record and lack of durability. He notes that Hunsucker has never been past the first round and has been knocked out in all his losses. Tafa has shown he can go three rounds and has better striking and cardio. Cody expects Tafa to win by KO early, but he doesn't like the -330 price for betting.

Under 1.5 rounds -165

DA
Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Dec 16, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Justin Tafa

Daniel Levi picks Justin Tafa to win, but advises caution at -310. He describes Tafa as having a Mark Hunt-like style with a big left hook and good leg kicks. Levi believes Tafa is more durable and has better hands than Hunsucker, who comes to brawl but is less skilled. He expects Tafa to get a first-round knockout, but notes that Tafa has underperformed in some fights. Levi sees Hunsucker as a gatekeeper brought in to get prospects back on track.

"Give me Justin Tafa to get it done... maybe he gets that first round knockout."

Jacob Lines Expert Confident picked Dec 15, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Justin Tafa

Jacob picks Justin Tafa but plays the over 1.5 rounds at +135. He thinks Hunsucker will pace himself to avoid getting finished early, and Tafa is patient, leading to a slow, boring striking affair. Jacob believes Tafa will outpoint Hunsucker. He also mentions that Hunsucker's history suggests a first-round finish, but he expects a different game plan from Hunsucker to prove he belongs in the UFC.

"i think i might play the over one and a half for plus 135 on this fight"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert picked Dec 17, 2021 (1 day before fight)
No clear pick

The host does not pick a winner but expects a first-round finish. He bet 2 units on under 1.5 rounds at -190, believing either fighter could get knocked out. He also mentions Hunsucker by KO at +1000 as a stab.

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Dec 16, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Justin Tafa

Paul is very confident in Tafa, calling Hunsucker a low-level fighter who shouldn't be in the UFC. He notes Hunsucker's all first-round finishes (wins and losses) and poor competition. Tafa has better experience and cardio. Paul thinks Tafa will win by KO and mentions the under 1.5 rounds at -165 as a good bet.

Under 1.5 rounds -165

TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Dec 13, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Justin Tafa

The MMA Guru picks Justin Tafa to win by first-round KO. He notes Tafa has shown improvements in cardio and kicking, and he expects Tafa to chop at Hunsucker's calf like Tai Tuivasa did. He thinks Hunsucker has quick hands but Tafa's power and well-roundedness will prevail. He predicts a body kick followed by a counter shot for the KO.

Tai Tuivasa vs. Harry Hunsucker

Round 1
Hang on to your hats, two heavyweight brawlers in Tuivasa (10-3, 4-3 UFC) and Hunsucker (7-3, 0-0 UFC) are set to throw down to kick off the main card. Two big men with one combined decision win between them look to get things done early, and referee Herb Dean may have his hands full. There is a good-natured glove touch, and the fun begins. Tuivasa lands a heavy leg kick, and Hunsucker responds with one. They trade them, until Hunsucker crashes forward and lands big shots. Tuivasa hurts the newcomer’s leg with kicks, and both men throw heavy leather but Hunsucker is in trouble already.
A booming right hand from Tuivasa hurts Hunsucker, and another that follows sends “The Hurricane” crashing down to the ground. Tuivasa smells blood and wants to finish the job, where he drops down bombs and Hunsucker kicks off to get Tuivasa to readjust himself. From there, “Bam Bam” clubs Hunsucker repeatedly until Dean halts the fight, with Hunsucker unable to defend himself from punishment any longer.
Tuivasa gets the job done in under a minute, and he rushes about the cage to find a shoe and a cold beverage, but there are none to be had. He’ll get one backstage, don’t worry.

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Mar 18, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Tai Tuivasa

Big Brady picks Tai Tuivasa, expecting a first-round knockout. He notes Hunsucker has never seen the second round, has poor cardio, and is coming in on short notice. Tuivasa has deadly leg kicks and power, and Brady believes he will overwhelm Hunsucker quickly. He advises against laying -400 but likes the under or Tuivasa by KO.

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Mar 20, 2021 (fight day)
Tai Tuivasa

Daniel Levi picks Tai Tuivasa by first-round knockout. He describes Hunsucker as a kamikaze fighter who has never been past the first round and has been knocked out by lower-level vets. He expects Tuivasa to tee off and finish early with a left hook or overhand.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Mar 18, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Tai Tuivasa

Tuivasa should win by finish, but the line is expected to be too high (around -300 to -400). Hunsucker has never been out of the first round and has power, but his cardio is poor. Tuivasa is not the most reliable fighter. The under 1.5 rounds is the best bet, as both guys are likely to swing for a KO early. Avoid playing Tuivasa at heavy chalk.

Under 1.5 rounds, fight does not start round 3
"I like troyvasso here i think he gets to finish relatively easily but just be very wary paying heavy chalk on tuivasa"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Mar 14, 2021 (6 days before fight)
Tai Tuivasa

The MMA Guru picks Tai Tuivasa over Harry Hunsucker (misspelled as DonTayle Mays). He believes Tuivasa's calf kicks will set up his shots upstairs, and he expects a decision win (29-28). He notes Hunsucker is difficult to finish but has been finished by submission recently, which Tuivasa won't do. He thinks Tuivasa will control the first two rounds clearly.

"i think this is actually going to be a decision i don't see tai toivasa finishing dontel mays"
