AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked Jul 31, 2022 (6 days before fight)
Cory McKenna

Angelo picks Cory McKenna but expresses hesitation due to Miranda Granger's long layoff. He likes McKenna's pressure, pace, and grappling, believing her takedowns will be the difference. However, he notes that if the fight stays on the feet, Granger could outwork McKenna similar to how Elise Reed did. The uncertainty of Granger's improvements during her time off tempers his confidence.

"I like corey here i love her pressure i love her pace but again you just don't know what you're gonna get with someone when they've been off for a year and a half"

Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Aug 2, 2022 (4 days before fight)
Cory McKenna

Big Brady picks Cory McKenna but expresses hesitation due to her poor fight IQ in her last fight against Elise Reed, where she chose to strike instead of wrestling. He notes that McKenna has a significant reach disadvantage (9.5 inches) and that Granger has solid striking. However, he believes McKenna's wrestling is good and if she implements a smart game plan of takedowns and top control, she should win. He predicts a decision victory.

"i'm gonna pick corey mckenna to go out here hopefully fight a smart game plan hopefully get this down to the mat"

Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Aug 3, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Cory McKenna

Cody also leans toward McKenna, noting that she should have wrestled more in her last fight. He mentions that Granger has poor takedown defense and a reach advantage, but McKenna's wrestling should be enough. Cody is concerned about McKenna's low ring IQ and hopes the loss taught her to wrestle earlier.

McKenna over 1.5 takedowns (suggested)
"I think she wins but I'm a little bit scared off... she's 23 years old... limited ring IQ."

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Aug 3, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Miranda Granger

Daniel Levi leans Granger as a dog, noting her size (5'7", 68" reach) and two-year layoff could mean improvement. He hasn't been impressed with McKenna's UFC performances and thinks Granger could win if she's improved. However, he admits both fighters need work and advises not tailing.

"I'll call it a dog or pass situation and take Granger but both these ladies need a lot of work"

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked Aug 3, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Cory McKenna

Paul leans toward McKenna but is scared off by the price after she burned him last time. He notes that McKenna's wrestling should be the path to victory, but she didn't use it enough against Elise Reed. Paul thinks McKenna is young and improving, but her ring IQ is questionable. He still picks her for the show.

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Aug 1, 2022 (5 days before fight)
Miranda Granger

The MMA Guru picks Miranda Granger as an underdog, disagreeing with the majority. He criticizes Cory McKenna's wins over Kay Hansen and Vanessa Demopoulos, and her loss to Elise Reid. He notes Granger's size advantage (5'7" vs 5'3", 68" reach vs 58.5") and believes Granger will be too strong in grappling exchanges. He also mentions Granger's two-year layoff and prime age of 30.

"i'm picking the underdog of miranda granger here... cory mckenna lost to elise reid and that shouldn't happen"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Nov 12, 2020 (2 days before fight)
Miranda Granger

Big Brady bet on Granger at -107 and likes her striking advantage, noting she has a full camp for the first time in the UFC. He criticizes Yoder's low output and poor takedown effectiveness. He worries about Yoder taking Granger down but thinks Granger is active off her back and should win a decision.

bet at -107; decision win expected; at -150 would pass
"i do have a bet on miranda granger but the problem is i better at minus 107."

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Nov 13, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Ashley Yoder

Daniel picks Yoder, citing her significant experience advantage against higher-level competition like Angela Hill, Mackenzie Dern, and Olivia Souza. He notes that Granger has not shown enough in her UFC fights, struggling against Hannah Goldie and being blown out by Amanda Lemos. He believes Yoder has a grappling edge and can win a close decision, especially if the fight goes to the third round where Granger's cardio is questionable.

"i see you're coming out here winning this fight"

The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked Nov 10, 2020 (4 days before fight)
Ashley Yoder

The MMA Guru picks Ashley Yoder, but with low enthusiasm, calling women's MMA annoying. He thinks Yoder's reach and kicks will allow her to out-strike Granger on the feet for three rounds, possibly earning a split decision. He notes that Granger hasn't beaten anyone good and lost to Amanda Lemos by submission, while Yoder fought close with Livia Renata Souza.

Split decision; mentions Yoder's kicks and reach advantage
"I'm gonna go with Ashley Yoda barely out striking her on the feet for three rounds, it'll probably be a split [expletive] decision for no [expletive] reason."
