Expert Picks (6)
Angelo notes Ode' Osbourne is a southpaw with power and finishing ability, and has grappling as a backup. Zarrukh Adashev is a kickboxer with almost no ground game. Despite Osbourne looking slow in his last fight, Angelo believes Adashev is not the technical striker to exploit that, so Osbourne's power and grappling should secure the win.
Big Brady picks Ode' Osbourne to win by first-round submission. He notes Osbourne's massive size and reach advantage (7-inch reach advantage) over Adashev, and thinks Osbourne can take the fight to the mat and submit him. He mentions Osbourne's good ground game and submissions off his back, while Adashev is a kickboxer with a submission loss. He expects Osbourne to grapple and finish early, though he notes Osbourne doesn't always go for takedowns as much as he'd like.
Cody is uncertain, noting Osbourne's cardio issues and Adashev's one-dimensional striking. He thinks Osbourne's speed and reach should win, but he's not confident and likely won't bet.
Daniel Levi picks Ode' Osbourne, citing his size, reach, and improving skills. He notes that Adashev, despite a deceiving record, is smaller and likely outmatched. He believes Osbourne has multiple win conditions and sees the -185 price as reasonable, though he expects the line to move further. He picks Osbourne to win, possibly by finish.
Paul picks Osbourne but is not confident enough to bet. He notes Osbourne's reach advantage and speed, but worries about his cardio and tendency to fade. He thinks Osbourne will win the first two rounds and survive the third.
The MMA Guru picks Ode' Osbourne to win by 29-28 unanimous decision. He highlights Osbourne's massive eight-inch reach advantage and believes he will keep Adashev at range. He compares the matchup to Adashev's loss to Sumudaerji, where he was picked apart. He expects Osbourne to win the first two rounds clearly, with Adashev possibly having success in the third via calf kicks.

Expert Picks (6)
Big Brady picks Ryan Benoit, citing his finishing ability and power. He notes Benoit has multiple paths to victory: striking or grappling. He is unimpressed with Adashev, who has been finished in two of three losses. Brady predicts a first-round knockout for Benoit.
Cody leans towards Zarrukh Adashev as a slight underdog, noting that Benoit often fights with poor game plans and does not use his wrestling. He believes Adashev's striking is cleaner and that he can win a decision or even get a finish. However, he is not highly confident because Benoit has experience and power. He sees Adashev as a passive victory if Benoit fights stupid.
Levi acknowledges that Ryan Benoit should be favored due to his UFC experience and power, but notes Benoit has a tendency to make fights close and lose split decisions. He sees Adashev as a live underdog, especially given his kickboxing background and training with Frankie Edgar and Ricardo Almeida. Levi suggests this is a 'dog or pass' situation and slightly leans toward Adashev at the betting window, though he agrees Benoit is the rightful favorite.
Adashev has a kickboxing background and should have a striking advantage. Benoit has weight-cut issues and may lean on grappling, but Adashev's takedown defense is unproven. Adashev showed bright spots against Sumudaerji despite the loss. He should land the more effective strikes and take a decision. The plus money is appealing.
Paul does not make a clear pick, calling it a 'dog or pass' spot. He notes that Benoit has the wrestling advantage but often chooses not to use it, and Adashev has decent striking. He is not confident in either side and decides to pass.
The MMA Guru picks Ryan Benoit over Zarrukh Adashev, stating that Benoit has fought decent competition and has a reach advantage. He notes that Adashev's best achievement is going to a decision against Sumudaerji. He expects Benoit to win, as he is more talented and has the ability to harm opponents.

Back at flyweight, surging Chinese upstart Mudaerji (13-4, 2-1 UFC) steps in on short notice against Adashev (3-2, 0-1 UFC).

Adashev once more tries his charge, and this time Mudaerji is ready for it as he snipes him with a few jabs and a left hand. Adashev crashes the pocket to force a grappling exchange, but Mudaerji keeps his balances and pushes off to prevent any possible takedown.

The feints and fakes from Mudaerji are getting Adashev to react and guess, allowing Mudaerji to tee off on him with long punches and leg kicks.
