Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Sep 15, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Erin Blanchfield

Angelo is confident in Erin Blanchfield because she is a nasty grappler and Sarah Alpar, though a good wrestler, gets sloppy after takedowns and gives up positions. He expects Blanchfield to capitalize on scrambles and likely get a submission. He notes that if Alpar were more controlled on top, it would be different, but she isn't.

Erin Blanchfield

Preet is confident Blanchfield will win but does not want to lay -400. He thinks Alpar's only strength is wrestling, but Blanchfield is a good grappler herself and has improved striking. He expects Blanchfield to stuff takedowns and hurt Alpar on the feet, but prefers the decision prop at +120 because he is not sure Blanchfield finishes at a high clip.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Sep 18, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Jessica-Rose Clark

The host thinks Jessica-Rose Clark has the striking advantage and improved physical strength, while Sarah Alpar is a wrestler who hasn't shown effective takedowns or comfort on the feet. However, he is not confident enough to bet at -230, citing Clark's recent losses and Alpar's potential if she can implement her wrestling. He predicts a decision win for Clark but advises staying away from betting.
