Expert Picks (9)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Feb 1, 2026 (6 days before fight)
Javid Basharat

Angelo picks Javid Basharat, calling him the overall better fighter with offensive and defensive wrestling and good striking. He notes that Javid has been struggling lately with a loss and a robbery, but he breaks it down fresh. He thinks Javid can get the fight to the ground if needed and stay safe. He is not confident enough to bet on him but suggests over 2.5 rounds as a solid play.

Over 2.5 rounds would probably be a pretty solid play
"I'm going to pick Jvid here. I think he gets it done. I don't think I'm confident enough to bet on him, but I think an over two and a half here would probably be a pretty solid play."
BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked Feb 1, 2026 (6 days before fight)
Javid Basharat

Big Brady picks Javid Basharat despite considering him overrated, because he thinks opponent Sad Magomedov is even more overrated with poor cardio and takedown defense. He believes Basharat can mix in takedowns to tire Magomedov and win a decision on volume striking.

"I got to go Javi here... I think Javeed wins this fight and wins it by decision."
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Feb 4, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Javid Basharat

Cody agrees, highlighting Vazquez's low volume and tendency to tire. He notes Basharat's wrestling and striking should be enough to win rounds. Cody expects a decision win for Basharat, possibly with a live bet opportunity.

"Javeed may have a contentious first round and then start to put some takedowns together in the second and the third and sees the day that way."
CO
Connor Ruebusch Expert Confident picked Feb 6, 2026 (1 day before fight)
Javid Basharat

Connor agrees with Zane, picking Basharat. He notes that Nurmagomedov is a tricky striker but lacks the wrestling to dominate Basharat, and that Basharat's pressure and boxing will be too much. Connor also mentions that Nurmagomedov's guillotine submissions often come from losing positions.

Nurmagomedov opened at +170, currently +110; Basharat opened at -200, currently -130
"I think Basharat is just more reliable and has a more winning style."
LU
Lucrative James Expert Confident picked Feb 1, 2026 (6 days before fight)
Javid Basharat

Lucrative James picks Javid Basharat to win by decision. He expects Basharat to use his wrestling and cardio to take over in rounds two and three, as Saif Magomedov tends to gas out. James notes that Basharat has trained with elite fighters and has better fight IQ and grappling.

"I think Jaff Jaffy Bashright's got this one."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Hesitant picked Feb 3, 2026 (4 days before fight)
Javid Basharat

The host picks Basharat, noting he is the more skilled fighter but has questions about his mentality after a knockout loss. He believes Basharat's submission defense will hold up against Nurmagomedov's early threats, and that Basharat can mix martial arts well to win on the scorecards. He likes the line movement from -160 to -115, making it a better value.

"Skill for skill I think Bach is a better fighter here. The difference is obviously questioning what his mentality is going to be coming into this fight."
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Feb 4, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Javid Basharat

Paul picks Javid Basharat, noting his wrestling advantage and the discount after his KO loss. He expects Basharat to use takedowns and control to win a decision. Paul believes Basharat's durability is fine and that he can outwork Vazquez.

"I think the matchup works for Javid here. And I feel like we're kind of getting a discount on him."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Feb 7, 2026 (fight day)
Javid Basharat

ZA
Zane Simon Expert Confident picked Feb 6, 2026 (1 day before fight)
Javid Basharat

Zane picks Basharat, noting that he is more reliable and has a more winning style. He argues that Basharat's pressure will break Nurmagomedov, who tends to crumble when attacked repeatedly. Zane also notes that Nurmagomedov is unlikely to finish Basharat with strikes and that Basharat is a more nuanced boxer.

Nurmagomedov opened at +170, currently +110; Basharat opened at -200, currently -130
"I got to pick Basharat. Same. Yeah. I think Basharat is just more reliable and has a more winning style."
