Jordan Williams

Angelo picks Ian Garry, citing his crazy hand speed, fantastic footwork, and the hype around him. He believes Garry's speed will be a step ahead of Jordan Williams, who has a 1-to-1 striking differential. He acknowledges the fight is closer than the odds suggest because Williams has grappling ability, but thinks Garry's speed will be the difference. He also notes the over on the 1.5 round line as a potential play.

Big Brady is high on Ian Garry, calling him well-rounded with great striking, takedown defense, and grappling. He notes Garry's jab and volume will be key, while Jordan Williams is hittable and has poor cardio. Brady expects Garry to finish Williams late, possibly by head kick, as Williams has been finished three times at 170 pounds. He sees the first round as the most dangerous for Garry but thinks he'll take over.

Cody picks Garry, praising his striking, clinch work, and finishing ability. He notes Williams is slower at 170 and lacks durability. He warns about prospects but believes Garry's talent and training at Sanford MMA will prevail.

Daniel Levi picks Ian Garry to win, but says he wouldn't lay -400 due to the debut factor. He notes that Jordan Williams is much better at 185 than 170, and that cutting to 170 drastically affects his durability. Levi believes Garry is a stud with impressive wins over Jack Grant and Rostem Akman, but warns that debuts at Madison Square Garden can be tough. He expects Garry to win but sees value on Williams if he were at 185.

Jacob picks Ian Garry but expresses hesitation, calling the fight a potential trap. He notes Garry's youth (23) and raw striking, with a chin-up style that could get him caught. However, he believes Garry's camp at Sanford MMA and potential wrestling-heavy game plan will secure the win. He would not pay the -350 odds or the 9,500 DraftKings price.

The host is very high on Garry, citing his striking, takedown disguises, and offensive ground game. He expects Garry to submit Williams, noting Williams' poor cardio and recent submission loss to Mickey Gall. He likes Garry's submission prop at +450-500 and considers him a parlay piece.

Paul picks Garry, seeing him as a strong prospect with good striking and grappling. He notes Williams's struggles at 170 and lack of power. He expects Garry to win, though he warns about prospects adjusting to the UFC.

Angelo picks Jordan Williams because he thinks Mickey Gall is not very good and that Williams is the better MMA fighter. He notes that Gall's only notable win is over CM Punk. He expects Williams to win by outstriking Gall, though he acknowledges that if Gall wrestles heavily, he could win a decision. He has no bets on this fight due to too many unknowns.

Big Brady picks Jordan Williams to win by knockout. He highlights Williams' takedown defense (88%) and power, expecting him to stuff Gall's takedowns and keep the fight standing. He notes both fighters are hittable but Williams is the better striker with volume and a good chin. He expects Williams to be a big welterweight cutting from 185 and to finish Gall, who has been stopped by strikes before.

Cody picks Williams, citing his power and durability. He notes Williams has been fighting bigger guys at middleweight and should have a striking advantage. He is concerned about Williams' weight cut due to diabetes but expects him to be fine. He thinks Gall's cardio and striking are suspect.

Daniel Levi picks Jordan Williams to finish Mickey Gall, citing Williams' hunger, preparation, and power. He notes that Gall's submission threat is overrated and that Williams is more physical and a better wrestler. Levi criticizes Gall's cardio and tendency to flop when tired, while Williams pushes through fatigue. He predicts Williams will set up his shots and knock Gall out.

Jacob picks Mickey Gall because he believes Gall is more talented on the ground and has good submissions. He notes that Jordan Williams has cardio issues due to being a type 1 diabetic, which could affect him in the fight. He expects Gall to shoot takedowns repeatedly, wear Williams down, and find a submission. He has Gall in his DraftKings lineup.

The host leans toward Jordan Williams, citing his power and durability. He notes both fighters have cardio issues but believes Williams' toughness and ability to push forward will be key. He mentions Gall's improvements but questions his cardio. He likes the over 2.5 rounds and Williams by decision as a less confident play.

Paul also picks Williams, noting his heart and durability. He criticizes Gall's career as a sideshow and his one-dimensional grappling. He expects Gall to win the first round but fade, while Williams' forward pressure will take over. He assumes the weight cut goes well.

Big Brady picks the underdog Nassourdine Imavov to win by knockout. He notes Imavov is technical and patient, while Williams is high volume but leaves openings and can slow down. He thinks Imavov lands hard and can get a late finish.

Daniel slightly leans with Williams, considering him the bigger, more powerful fighter who will push harder. He respects Imavov's footwork and counters but thinks Williams' boxing and grappling are underrated. He notes both are welterweights moving up and that Williams is a slow starter, so Imavov could catch him early, but expects Williams to edge it out.

The host favors Jordan Williams due to his more well-rounded game and experience, but admits there is limited tape on Imavov, making him hesitant. He predicts a decision win for Williams but calls it a stay-away fight for betting.
