Expert Picks (12)
Angelo picks Losene Keita because of his devastating striking and fast sprawls, but he is not betting on him. He notes Keita missed weight in his debut and is untested, while Nathaniel Wood is a proven tough veteran who gets dropped. He respects Wood's toughness but thinks Keita's power could put him out cold. He avoids betting due to the -170 price and weight miss concerns.
Big Brady picks Nathaniel Wood as a live dog, but he is hesitant because Wood has been dropped in many fights and Keita hits very hard. He notes that Wood has incredible volume, can mix in takedowns, and has good recovery, but his chin is a concern. He thinks if Wood doesn't get knocked out, he will win a decision as the hometown favorite. He calls this the best fight on the card and expects it to be a war.
Cody leans toward Wood, noting Keita's layoff and weight cut, but is not fully confident. He sees value in Wood as an underdog.
Connor picks Nathaniel Wood, emphasizing Wood's technical edge everywhere and his ability to handle athletic opponents like Delgado and Shariay. He notes that Keita is a one-dimensional pressure fighter who doesn't cut off the cage or use a jab effectively. Connor believes Wood can weather Keita's power and figure him out, but warns that Wood's tendency to initiate grappling could be risky if Keita overpowers him.

Angelo picks Losene Keita but advises against betting on him. He acknowledges Keita's speed, power, and takedown defense, but warns that Pitbull is a crafty veteran who could pull off an upset. He notes that many prospects have lost to old vets. He believes Keita's speed will be a problem for Pitbull's takedown entries, but calls it a risky fight and recommends leaving it alone.
Big Brady picks Losene Keita, citing Pitbull's age (38), declining durability, and low volume. He notes Keita is 11 years younger, pressures forward, and has power. He believes Pitbull has been hurt in his last five fights and will get knocked out here. He predicts a first-round KO.
Connor picks Keita, citing his freakish speed and power, similar to Chihiro Suzuki who beat Pitbull. He notes that Pitbull's cautious, counter-punching style may not keep up with Keita's athleticism, and that Keita is a proven winner. He acknowledges that Pitbull could outmaneuver him, but sees Keita's physical advantages as decisive.
The host views Keita as a highly touted prospect who is very fast, powerful, and only 27 years old. He thinks Keita does everything Pitbull does but much better and at a younger age, allowing him to dictate the pace and eventually find a big knockout.
The Guru picks Patrício Pitbull, despite concerns about age and size. He criticizes Keita's limited offense (straight right hands and rear kicks) and believes Pitbull's experience and jiu-jitsu will be key. He predicts Pitbull will secure takedowns, take the back, and win by submission (rear-naked choke) or decision. He also notes Keita's UFC debut jitters.
Zane picks Pitbull, believing his experience and technical savvy can outfox the raw but fast Keita. He notes that Keita leaves openings and is susceptible to takedowns, and that Pitbull can neutralize him. However, he acknowledges that Keita's speed and power make it a trap fight, and that Pitbull may gas or get caught.
