Vince Cachero

Big Brady picks Ronnie Lawrence to win by decision, but he is not confident. He notes Lawrence has a wrestling advantage and can get takedowns, while Cachero has poor takedown defense. However, he thinks the line at -160 is too wide and sees this as a close fight. He says he would not bet on it and considers it a low-level fight.

Daniel Levi picks Ronnie Lawrence, citing his wrestling and takedown ability, which exploits Cachero's weakness in takedown defense. He notes Cachero has been taken down and finished by higher-level opponents. Levi believes Lawrence's mix of strikes and takedowns will overwhelm Cachero, leading to a decision win.

Lawrence mixes strikes and takedowns well, keeping opponents guessing. Cachero has weak takedown defense and Lawrence should be able to secure takedowns and control the fight. Lawrence's movement and kicking game will keep Cachero at range. Expect a decision win for Lawrence.

Big Brady picks Jamall Emmers to win by decision as an underdog. He notes Emmers has a significant height and reach advantage and is a standout wrestler. He believes Emmers will lose the first round but take over in the second and third, similar to his fight against Giga Chikadze. He thinks the line should be closer to a pick'em and considers betting on Emmers at +155.

Daniel picks Emmers, acknowledging his talent and athleticism but criticizing his fight IQ. He notes that Cachero is coming in on short notice and moving up a weight class. He expects Emmers to get his first UFC win.

The host picks Emmers but with low confidence due to Emmers' questionable fight IQ, as he often chooses to strike instead of using his wrestling. He notes that Emmers has a size and strength advantage and should win if he wrestles, but he cannot trust him to do so. He also mentions that Valiev has takedown defense issues but is a solid fighter. He passes on betting due to uncertainty.
