The host picks Chavez, noting that she is the better striker and better in the clinch, with effective elbows. He believes that as the fight drags on, Chavez's elbows will back off Dubin. He also notes that Dubin is not a big takedown threat, so Chavez's poor takedown defense may not be exposed.
AJ favors Chavez due to her superior technical striking, athleticism, and Muay Thai background, despite Duben's knockout power. He notes Duben's head movement issues and wild volume, while Chavez showed good recovery and body work. AJ expects Chavez to outwork Duben, likely by decision, but a late finish is possible.
Angelo is very confident in Jeisla Chaves, calling her a 'dog' with aggressive Muay Thai and good durability. He notes that Duben is one-dimensional and only has a puncher's chance. He mentions that Chaves' opening odds were -900 and feels -400 is still great value, even joking about taking a mortgage out on the house.
Big Brady picks Jeisla Chaves to win by first round knockout. He is not convinced about Duben's durability, cardio, or ground game, and sees Duben as a one-big-shot fighter. He likes Chaves' boxing, toughness, and heart, and expects her to overwhelm Duben with volume and power.
Both fighters have knockouts over nobodies, but Jeisla Chaves has proven she can go the distance with a decent opponent in Sophia Montenegro. Yuneisy Duben is knockout or bust, and Chaves can take a decision win. However, Chaves is a heavy favorite at minus 500, which the host disagrees with.
Jeisla Chaves is picked but with low confidence. She is the better striker with good leg kicks, but she is hittable and has been dropped before.

Chaves is slightly better overall, with a size and reach advantage. Duben has never been tested deep into a fight, while Chaves has gone the distance and has late finishes. Chaves should win by third-round TKO via ground and pound.
Lucrative James picks Jeisla Chaves, considering her the much better fighter overall with superior cardio and striking. He acknowledges Yuneisy Duben's power and the volatility of the fight, but expects Chaves to win via knockout. He suggests the under 2.5 rounds or 'fight doesn't go to decision' prop as a potential bet.
Chaves is the better overall mixed martial artist with good Muay Thai skills and athleticism. Duben has power but poor striking and grappling defense. Chaves should find openings to finish by knockout or submission. The under 2.5 rounds at -120 is a good play.
