Shamil Gamzatov

Big Brady picks the underdog Michał Oleksiejczuk to win a close decision. He is unimpressed with Gamzatov, noting he doesn't go for takedowns despite Oleksiejczuk's poor takedown defense. He thinks Oleksiejczuk will be more active and aggressive, and the fight will be close, possibly a split decision. He acknowledges Gamzatov has a clear path to victory if he wrestles, but doubts he will.

Cody leans towards Oleksiejczuk as a dog, citing Gamzatov's unimpressive record and poor cardio. He notes Gamzatov hasn't finished anyone in 6 years, has low output, and gasses. Oleksiejczuk is faster, sharper, and has good body work. He thinks Oleksiejczuk can pressure, tire Gamzatov, and take him down.

Daniel picks Michał Oleksiejczuk for the upset, citing his aggression and output. He notes Gamzatov is a low-output point fighter with unimpressive wins. Daniel believes Oleksiejczuk's forward pressure and body shots will be key. He acknowledges Oleksiejczuk's size disadvantage but thinks his volume and power will overcome it.

Oleksiejczuk's constant forward pressure and volume should overwhelm Gamzatov, who prefers to counterstrike. Gamzatov doesn't grapple much, which he would need to slow Oleksiejczuk. Oleksiejczuk likely wins a decision by optically controlling the fight.

Paul has trust issues with Oleksiejczuk after his poor performance against Modestas Bukauskas. He doesn't commit to a pick, saying he's not sure if he'll get there. He acknowledges the value might be on the dog but doesn't make a clear selection.
