Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Feb 7, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Justin Tafa

Daniel Levi picks Justin Tafa to get a huge upset. He questions Juan Adams' mental state and work ethic, noting that Adams flew home for the holidays while Tafa stayed in Thailand. He believes Tafa can survive the first round and then knock out Adams in the second.

"I think if Justin Tafa can come out here and survive on the ground in that early going come back in the second round I think he can knock out Juan Adams here"

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Feb 5, 2020 (3 days before fight)
Justin Tafa

The host leans toward Justin Tafa as a dog, citing his better technical striking and power. He questions Juan Adams' fight IQ and ability to close distance without eating shots. He notes that Tafa's chin may be suspect but believes he can knock out Adams. He suggests a small 0.5 unit play.

Tafa by second-round TKO, bet size 0.5 units
"0.5 you have play on Justin Devlin in my opinion it's not the worst thing in the world if you're gonna give me plus 210 or +1 235 to to fade one Adams here against a technically better striker maybe chin not the best and obviously one Adam says the resting credentials to get this fight to the ground will he be able to get the fight to the ground is my question so I don't believe you oh I think that Justin tougher will knock him out so I'm gonna go topic here and I'll take him by second-round TKO"
