Expert Picks (7)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Oct 31, 2025 (1 day before fight)
Charles Radtke

Angelo picks Charles Radtke, emphasizing his grappling advantage. He notes Radtke is a good grappler who can shoot doubles and control on top, while Frunza is a solid striker but easily taken down. He believes Radtke can finish on the ground and will include him in his lineup. He warns that Radtke sometimes slugs it out, which is a risk, but expects him to wrestle.

"I'm going to pick Charles, and I'm going to shoot my shot and throw him in the lineup because he A has a bunch of finishes, and B all he has to do is wrestle."
BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked Oct 31, 2025 (1 day before fight)
Charles Radtke

Big Brady picks Charles Radtke, calling Daniel Frunza's debut terrible and noting Frunza is hittable and has been finished in losses. He highlights Radtke's power, BJJ black belt, and training at Valley Flow. He thinks Radtke should wrestle and submit Frunza, but also sees a first-round finish on the feet. He predicts a first-round submission.

first round submission
"Give me Charles Raky. I'll [snorts] say Raky wins this fight by first round submission."
CO
Connor Ruebusch Expert Confident picked Oct 30, 2025 (2 days before fight)
Charles Radtke

Connor also picks Radtke, citing his athleticism, speed, and power. He notes that technically Frunza may be better, but Frunza lacks physical durability and confidence, as shown in the McKee fight. He thinks Radtke's left hook will be decisive.

"I'll take Radke mostly for like the athleticism the speed and the power."
LU
Lucrative James Expert Lean picked Oct 27, 2025 (5 days before fight)
Daniel Frunza

Lucrative James picks Daniel Frunza as the underdog, calling it a close fight. He notes Radtke's powerful left hook but also his tendency to overextend. Frunza is tough and has been tested in wars. James sees value in the underdog line and expects a competitive striking matchup, possibly ending in a knockout. He also mentions interest in betting the under.

under 1.5 rounds, under 2.5 rounds
"I'm just going to pick the underdog in this one. Daniel Fun's at plus 120."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Oct 31, 2025 (1 day before fight)
Daniel Frunza

Frunza is the superior striker and his defensive grappling has improved enough that Radtke will struggle to use his BJJ. Once forced to strike, Frunza will catch Radtke and knock him out. Surprised Frunza is at plus money.

surprised at plus money, knockout
"Kind of surprised we're getting Frenza at plus money here as I think he is the superior striker. And I think his defensive grappling has improved enough that Radkkey will struggle to utilize his BJJ black belt. And once he's forced to strike with Fanza, that's when Franzo will catch him and eventually knock him out."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Oct 30, 2025 (2 days before fight)
Charles Radtke

The MMA Guru picks Charles Radtke, citing his power and the fact that Daniel Frunza was dropped multiple times by Reese McKee. He believes Radtke's hooks will be too much for Frunza, predicting a first round TKO. He notes Radtke's losses are to high-level fighters like Carlos Prates and Mike Malott.

first round TKO
"I'm going to go with Charles Radtke getting this one done by first round TKO."
ZA
Zane Simon Expert Confident picked Oct 30, 2025 (2 days before fight)
Charles Radtke

Zane picks Radtke because he is a brainless goon with a power left hook, and nothing about Frunza suggests he can handle even one hard left hook. He notes that Frunza looked spooked when hit hard by Reese McKee and lacks durability and confidence. He expects a quick knockout.

"I'm gonna pick Charles Radke. Because he is a brainless goon with a power left hook."

AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Mar 30, 2025 (6 days before fight)
Daniel Frunza

Angelo notes that Rhys McKee has a chin and can be boring, which is an asset against a dangerous striker like Frunza, but he believes Vegas judges prioritize damage over control time. He thinks Frunza's pressure and power will earn him a decision if it goes the distance, as McKee won't do enough damage. Angelo leans Frunza but acknowledges McKee is a live dog and won't bet on a UFC debutant.

"I'm going to lean Daniel here but I do think Reese is a live dog and I'm not betting on a UFC debut."
BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked Apr 1, 2025 (4 days before fight)
Daniel Frunza

Big Brady picks Daniel Frunza but expresses low interest in betting. He notes Rhys McKee is extremely hitable with poor striking defense, while Frunza has good cardio and will land consistently. He expects Frunza to win by decision, as McKee is tough enough to survive.

"I'm going to go with Daniel frunza to win by decision"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Apr 3, 2025 (2 days before fight)
Rhys McKee

"I have to lean with the minute winning abilities of mck as you'll be able to touch up Franza from distance hopefully avoid major uh much of the big shots coming back his way from Franza and then go on to win this fight by decision."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked Apr 3, 2025 (2 days before fight)
Rhys McKee

The Guru picks Rhys McKee as an underdog, noting his decent scrambles and takedown defense at 170. He believes McKee can weather an early grappling storm and win on the feet as the fight goes on. He mentions McKee's split decision loss to Chidina Juani and his improved grappling, and thinks Frunza's finishing ability won't be enough to put McKee away early.

Rhys McKee by decision or third-round finish
"I'm going to say Reese McKe is going to be able to sort of weather a bit of a grappling heavy storm and then win this fight as it goes on on the feet."
