Expert Picks (7)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Gaetano Pirrello

Angelo picks Gaetano Pirrello as the underdog, believing his world-class Muay Thai striking will be too much for Douglas Silva de Andrade. He notes that Andrade is dropping down to 135, which may affect his chin, and that he rarely uses his wrestling despite having a clear path to victory via takedowns. Angelo thinks Pirrello will get to showcase his striking and that Andrade will be on the wrong end of it. He considers a moneyline bet at plus money and may include Pirrello in his knockout pool.

considering moneyline bet, knockout pool inclusion
"i honestly like guytano the underdog i like him here i think he'll get to showcase some of his striking"

Big Brady Expert Lean picked Sep 30, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Douglas Silva de Andrade

Big Brady picks Douglas Silva de Andrade to win by knockout, but is not overly confident due to Andrade's age (36) and style. He notes Andrade is a striker who will brawl, which plays into Pirrello's hands as Pirrello is dangerous and has 14 of 17 wins inside the distance. However, Andrade has fought much better competition (Rob Font, Marlon Vera, etc.) while Pirrello looked poor in his UFC debut against Ricky Simone. Brady thinks the line is wide and prefers a violence play.

fight ends inside distance (violence play)
"i'll take androge to win by knockout"

Cody Saftic Expert Hesitant picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Douglas Silva de Andrade

Cody picks Andrade based on experience and durability. He notes that Andrade has fought tough competition and has a good chin. Pirrello is a striker who has not faced the same level of opposition. He expects Andrade to pressure and take over as Pirrello fades. However, he is not highly confident.

"i'm going to go with douglas andraj on the basis of the experience"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Oct 1, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Douglas Silva de Andrade

Daniel Levi picks Douglas Silva de Andrade, citing his experience and ability to show up in fights. He notes Pirrello has issues with takedown defense and chin, but Silva is 36 at bantamweight and could be caught. Levi thinks at their best, Silva wins, but he does not recommend laying -240 due to the risk. He personally passes on betting but picks Silva to get it done.

"both guys at their best i i gotta go with douglas e silva it's just i personally don't feel comfortable laying a minus 250 price tag on a guy like that"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 1, 2021 (1 day before fight)
Douglas Silva de Andrade

I think Pirrello's cardio fades as the fight goes on, and Andrade is the better fighter everywhere. Andrade has good power and grappling, and Pirrello's defensive grappling is terrible. I like Andrade by decision at +175, but the moneyline is fine too. I'm not worried about Pirrello's early danger because Andrade can weather it.

Andrade by decision +175
"I do lean douglas though man even though he looks like he's 72 years old the guy is an absolute beast"

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Hesitant picked Sep 29, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Douglas Silva de Andrade

Paul also picks Andrade but is not confident. He notes that Andrade has not fought frequently and has a limited grappling game. Pirrello is a dangerous striker early. He thinks Andrade's experience will be the difference but is wary of the price.

"it's too bad that douglas silva don john doesn't have much of a grappling game"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Sep 27, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Douglas Silva de Andrade

The MMA Guru picks Douglas Silva de Andrade, noting that Gaetano Pirrello looked fundamentally unprepared in his debut against Ricky Simone. He believes Silva de Andrade is a big bantamweight with good wins, including over Marlon Vera. He expects a scrappy fight but predicts Silva de Andrade will win by unanimous decision 29-28.

"i'm going with douglas silver to andraj here he's got everything over guillotino pirillo"
