Expert Picks (2)

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Feb 21, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Magomed Mustafaev

Daniel Levi picks Magomed Mustafaev, citing his explosive striking and dynamic kicks. He believes Mustafaev is the more seasoned fighter and will knock out Brad Riddell in the first round. Levi notes that Riddell was dropped by Jamie Mullarkey, who lacks knockout power, and that Mustafaev's power is a serious threat. He acknowledges Riddell's path to victory in later rounds if Mustafaev gasses, but expects an early finish.

first round knockout

"I'm personally going Magomed Mustafaev via first round knockout."

Half the Battle

The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked Feb 14, 2020 (9 days before fight)

Brad Riddell

The host hesitantly picks Brad Riddell, expressing confusion about Dagestani fighters. He notes Mustafaev lost to Kevin Lee, which is not a bad loss, but he can't trust Dagestanis. He predicts an upset victory for Riddell without strong conviction.

"I'm gonna go with Bob Redell okay there we go we did we're doing Brad Bird L I think Robert our wins there you go yeah we're just gonna go without Brad Brunel wins by upset victory"
