Expert Picks (6)
BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked May 12, 2026 (4 days before fight)
Tommy Gantt

Big Brady confidently picks Tommy Gantt, highlighting his high-level wrestling and ability to control the fight on the ground. He notes that Artur Minev has power but is vulnerable to takedowns, especially on short notice. He predicts a decision win for Gantt.

"I'm going to take Thomas Gant to win this fight by decision."
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked May 13, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Tommy Gantt

Cody picks Tommy Gantt, citing his superior wrestling pedigree as a D1 All-American and Pan-American gold medalist. He notes that Artur Minev is a one-shot-at-a-time striker who relies on takedowns, but Gantt is a better wrestler and athlete. Cody expects Gantt to chain-wrestle and drown Minev, though he acknowledges the fight may be boring. He also likes the over 1.5 rounds prop.

Suggests over 1.5 rounds at minus 150 or above.
"I got Gant. I think this fight's going to be unbelievably boring just the way that their styles match up."
CO
Connor Ruebusch Expert Confident picked May 15, 2026 (1 day before fight)
Tommy Gantt

Connor picks Gantt, praising his structured game, dynamic wrestling, and clinch work. He notes Minev is a more natural power puncher but lacks combination punching and may be at a size disadvantage. Gantt's ability to dictate the fight is key.

Same odds as Zane. Connor notes Gantt's age (33) but respects his rapid fight accumulation.
"And with Minav, there's the start of a pretty interesting fighter as well. He's got power and he's got wrestling himself, but it's much, much more a young fighter trying to put a game together."
DI
Diary of a Pro Gambler Expert Confident picked May 16, 2026 (fight day)
Tommy Gantt

Gantt looks excellent with a good body type, offensive wrestling, and submission game. Mineev is a jack-of-all-trades with no major strengths. Gantt likely wins, but the odds are too short to bet. Under 2.5 rounds is interesting due to potential skill gap.

Under 2.5 rounds is interesting.
"Gantt could be one to watch. I think he could be something a little bit special."
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked May 13, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Tommy Gantt

Paul also picks Tommy Gantt, noting that Minev is taking the fight on short notice and has shown durability issues. He believes Gantt's wrestling will be the difference, as Minev has not faced a wrestler of Gantt's caliber. Paul is interested in the over 1.5 rounds if the total opens favorably.

Interested in over 1.5 rounds if the total opens at minus 150 or above.
"Give me the guy who's actually been preparing for this card, not taking the fight on short notice, who hasn't really shown me the durability issues."
ZA
Zane Simon Expert Confident picked May 15, 2026 (1 day before fight)
Tommy Gantt

Zane picks Gantt because he has a clear vision and imposes his will, with dynamic wrestling and a mean clinch reminiscent of Jon Jones. Minev is a young fighter still putting his game together, with trouble getting offense started at range. Gantt's size and reach advantage also factor in.

Odds: Gantt opened -400, now -225; Minev opened +330, now +190. Zane calls it a 'cool fight' and looks forward to it.
"So I do think we're probably going to see some, I hope we see some really cool back and forth wrestling exchanges here though, because, uh, I do think that Minav is up to snuff, stopping most people's takedowns and, uh, and, um, definitely going to go for them."
