BI
Big Brady Expert Lean picked May 11, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Kevin Aguilar

Aguilar is the better fighter overall with phenomenal takedown defense (87%) and has fought tougher competition. Lutz is very hittable with poor striking defense. However, Aguilar's low volume is a concern; he got outlanded in recent fights. I think Aguilar lands the harder shots and is live for a knockout, but I'm not betting on him.

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked May 12, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Tucker Lutz

Cody picks Lutz, emphasizing Aguilar's chin issues. He notes that Aguilar has been knocked out by lesser strikers and Lutz has good durability. Cody believes Lutz's wrestling and ability to take a punch will allow him to win a decision or late finish.

Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked May 13, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Kevin Aguilar

Daniel Levi picks Kevin Aguilar, hoping he looks better than his last fight. He notes that Aguilar's previous loss to Charles Rosa was disappointing, but if he can improve even 1%, he can win. Levi acknowledges that Tucker Lutz is a workman with good kicks, but thinks Aguilar has the experience edge. He calls it a pick'em and a dog-or-pass situation.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked May 13, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Tucker Lutz

The host leans toward Lutz, citing his versatility on the feet and wrestling background. He notes Aguilar marches forward in a straight line and throws big shots but lacks diversity. He thinks Lutz moves better, mixes up kicks, and has a strong lead kick. However, he acknowledges it could be a close stand-up fight and is not ultra confident, predicting a decision win for Lutz.

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked May 12, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Tucker Lutz

Paul picks Lutz, noting that Aguilar has a weak chin and has been knocked out recently. He believes Lutz's durability and wrestling will be key. Paul expects Lutz to take shots and keep coming, while Aguilar may falter if hit. He sees this as a fun fight that could go to decision.

Tucker Lutz

The MMA Guru picks Tucker Lutz over Kevin Aguilar, citing Aguilar's recent decline and poor performances, including a loss to Charles Rosa. He believes Aguilar has taken too much damage and no longer takes shots well. He sees Lutz as a rising contender with momentum and predicts a close unanimous decision 29-28.

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jun 8, 2020 (5 days before fight)
Charles Rosa

The MMA Guru picks Charles Rosa, noting that he shouldn't be judged by his loss to Bryce Mitchell. He highlights Rosa's jiu-jitsu and striking, recalling that Rosa out-struck Shane Burgos in their fight. He believes Rosa will finish Aguilar by head kick, as Aguilar is coming off a KO loss and a short turnaround.

Rosa wins by KO (head kick)
"Charles Rosa was beating shame Burgos on the feet. He's a jujitsu guy, he was clearly out striking Shane Burgos."

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Feb 21, 2020 (2 days before fight)
Kevin Aguilar

Daniel Levi picks Kevin Aguilar, despite concerns about Aguilar taking too many clean punches. He believes Aguilar's takedown defense and get-up game are excellent, and that his output and cardio will be deciding factors in the later rounds. Levi notes that Zubaira Tukhugov's activity wanes as fights go on, and if Tukhugov doesn't knock Aguilar out early, Aguilar will take over and win a decision.

"I think that if Zubaira does not knock out Kevin Aguilar, that Aguilar is gonna take over in that second and third."

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Feb 14, 2020 (9 days before fight)
Kevin Aguilar

The host picks Kevin Aguilar, reasoning that if Tukhugov were special, he wouldn't have gone to a draw with Lerone Murphy on short notice. He notes Aguilar's only recent loss is to Dan Ige, who looked amazing. He likes Aguilar as an underdog to bounce back.

"I like Kevin Aguilar here to bounce back I think he's gonna get the job done over Jabara took a Goff"
