Angelo Bodetti Expert Lock picked Feb 16, 2025 (6 days before fight)
Mansur Abdul-Malik

Angelo is extremely confident in Mansur Abdul-Malik, calling him probably his most confident pick on the entire card. He highlights Mansur's D1 wrestling, power, and clean takedowns, while noting Nick Klein is a solid grappler but less athletic and powerful. The only concern is a potential BJJ submission from Klein, but Angelo doesn't think Klein will win a scramble.

"Probably my most confident pick on the entire card is Mansur Abdul-Malik."
