Jamey Simmons

Angelo picks Muñoz, noting his high ownership on DraftKings (38%). He thinks Muñoz is the better fighter and expects a finish, possibly by submission in round 2 or 3. He mentions Muñoz's smooth transitions on the ground.

Big Brady is very high on Johnny Muñoz Jr., praising his slick BJJ and noting he looked good in his UFC debut despite a point deduction. He believes Muñoz is better everywhere, including striking, and that Jamey Simmons doesn't belong in the UFC. He predicts an early finish, specifically a first-round submission, as Muñoz is a black belt and Simmons is a blue belt who will likely try to grapple.

Cody picks Muñoz, arguing that his BJJ is elite and that Simmons is not UFC caliber. He notes Muñoz's improved striking and wrestling, and expects a submission win. Cody thinks the price is steep but Muñoz should win.

Daniel Levi picks Johnny Muñoz Jr., but is sketched out by the wide line. He notes that Muñoz is a black belt in jiu-jitsu and should be able to get a submission, but acknowledges that Jamey Simmons is a former wrestler who could use his wrestling in reverse to keep the fight standing. He thinks the opener was more correct and that there is a path to victory for Simmons, but ultimately leans Muñoz.

Munoz is a high-level BJJ specialist with a strong grappling background. Simmons is a wrestler who wants to take the fight to the ground, but Munoz is confident in his grappling and can reverse or submit him. If Simmons strikes, Munoz has decent power and can invite takedowns to set up submissions. Munoz should find a submission in round two.

Paul picks Muñoz, citing his BJJ black belt and multiple submission wins. He notes that Simmons has poor durability and was finished quickly by lower-level opponents. Paul expects Muñoz to get the fight to the ground and submit Simmons.

Big Brady picks Chikadze despite being a former hater, impressed by his improvements in takedown defense and ground game. He notes the size disadvantage for Simmons and predicts a finish, possibly by submission or knockout. He suggests looking at the inside distance prop.

Daniel Levi confidently picks Giga Chikadze to win by first-round knockout. He highlights Chikadze's significant improvements in every area, including distance management, stance switches, and submissions. Levi notes that Chikadze has been maintaining his cardio better and believes he will get his first UFC finish here, knocking out Jamey Simmons, who is a solid wrestler but outmatched on the feet.

The host expects Giga Chikadze to get a finish, likely in the first or second round, against a short-notice opponent with questionable cardio and a significant height disadvantage. He notes Giga's takedown defense and ability to get back to his feet. He plans to bet Giga inside the distance if the line is better than -200.
