Expert Picks (8)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Hesitant picked May 10, 2026 (6 days before fight)
Malcolm Wellmaker

Angelo picks Malcolm Wellmaker but is hesitant. He compares this fight to Wellmaker's previous loss where he was bullied by a short-notice opponent. He notes Juan Díaz is not as good a wrestler but could still cause problems. He gives Wellmaker the benefit of the doubt, thinking he may have learned from his loss.

"I'm going to pick Malcolm here. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt."
BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked May 12, 2026 (4 days before fight)
Malcolm Wellmaker

Big Brady confidently picks Malcolm Wellmaker, believing his power and experience will be too much for Juan Diaz. He notes that Diaz has an inflated record and has not faced this level of competition. He predicts a decision win, as Diaz is durable.

"I like Malcolm Wmaker to get it done."
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked May 13, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Juan Díaz

Cody picks Juan Díaz as a dog, noting that Wellmaker is a sniper but can be outworked by pressure fighters. He points to Wellmaker's loss to Ethan Ewing, where Ewing took his best shots and returned fire. Díaz is durable, has solid grappling, and can make it a gritty fight. Cody believes the line is too heavy on Wellmaker and that Díaz has a chance to win a close decision or even get a late finish.

Mentions a potential Juan Díaz round three finish at 20-to-1 odds.
"I did end up taking Juan Diaz very very short very short uh amount."
DI
Diary of a Pro Gambler Expert picked May 16, 2026 (fight day)
No clear pick

Lack of quality footage on Wellmaker makes it hard to gauge. Diaz is basic but well-rounded. The fight could be closer than odds suggest. No strong read, so pass.

"Don't have a strong read on this one due to a lack of good quality recent footage on Wellmaker."
LU
Lucrative James Expert Lean picked May 10, 2026 (6 days before fight)
Juan Díaz

Lucrative James leans toward Juan Díaz, citing Díaz's superior cardio, durability, and experience in five-round fights. He believes if Wellmaker doesn't get an early knockout, Díaz will take over in later rounds with grappling and volume. However, he notes the pick is tentative and subject to odds.

"My ultimate prediction for this fight will be Juan Diaz to win the fight via decision. But like I said, that's subject to change."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked May 13, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Malcolm Wellmaker

The host picks Malcolm Wellmaker to bounce back after his loss to Ethan Ewing. He acknowledges Diaz's durability could cause issues but believes Wellmaker will land more significant damage over 15 minutes to win on the scorecards.

"I like me some Wellmaker here to bounce back into the win column after that fumble that he had against Ethan Ewing. Diaz could provide some issues, especially if his durability is as good as I believe it is, but I think Wellmaker should still be able to land more significant damage over the course of 15 minutes to win this fight on the scorecards."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked May 12, 2026 (4 days before fight)
Malcolm Wellmaker

The host believes Wellmaker has the speed and power advantage, but he is hesitant to bet him at -250 due to his recent loss and the unknown mentality coming off that defeat. He predicts Wellmaker wins by decision but will not bet the chalk.

"I think this will be a spot where Wallmaker eventually ends up finding that big shot um and really wobbles Diaz. Does he put him away? I'm not entirely sure."
