Big Brady Expert Confident picked Aug 12, 2020 (3 days before fight)
Merab Dvalishvili

Big Brady already bet Merab by decision at -130. He thinks Merab's relentless takedowns will wear down Dodson, though he worries about judging favoring striking. He expects Merab to get about nine takedowns and win a comfortable decision.

bet Merab by decision at -130, over on takedowns
"i bet him by decision at minus 1 30"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Aug 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Merab Dvalishvili

Daniel Levi picks Merab Dvalishvili to win by unanimous decision. He acknowledges Dodson's power and takedown defense but believes Merab's relentless pace and cardio will overwhelm Dodson over three rounds. He notes that Dodson has a history of losing close decisions and that Merab's takedown volume will eventually wear him down. He also mentions that Merab's chin is solid and his recovery is excellent.

Merab by unanimous decision; Dodson may get tired in later rounds; Merab's takedown volume is key
"i got marab here to take him into deep waters and drown him ... i'm going with marab here to win a unanimous decision"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Aug 13, 2020 (2 days before fight)
John Dodson

Dodson has the speed and power to capitalize on Dvalishvili's poor striking defense; Merab is hittable and gets taken down but doesn't control opponents, allowing Dodson to get back up. Dodson carries power into later rounds and can land a bomb. The line should be closer to -150 for Merab; Dodson's inside the distance prop at +400 is intriguing.

Dodson wins inside the distance (+400); Dodson wins by KO in round 2
"John Dodson still has the speed, he still has the power... I like dogs in here."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Aug 9, 2020 (6 days before fight)
John Dodson

The MMA Guru picks John Dodson by KO in the second or third round. He argues that Dvalishvili's takedown-heavy style will tire him out, leaving him vulnerable to Dodson's power. He notes that Dodson has faced elite competition and can survive the early grappling.

KO in the second or third round
"john dodson gets it done against marabdev if you look at john dalton's career ... he's going to beat murab de velasqually by ko in the third or second round"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Feb 14, 2020 (1 day before fight)
Nathaniel Wood

Daniel Levi picks Nathaniel Wood to win, possibly becoming the first man to finish John Dodson. He likes Wood's well-rounded game, consistent boxing, calf kicks, and ability to take down Dodson. He notes Dodson's recent decline and that Wood will be the bigger fighter, which should help him wear Dodson down.

first man to finish John Dodson, decision win, takedowns and ground control
"I think Nathaniel Wood is going to show I use the prospect but now it might be the contender"

John Dodson vs. Timothy Elliott
Round 1
Elliott comes out flashing some spinning kicks, none of which connects. He latches onto Dodson’s left leg and tries to drag him down, but “The Magician” stays upright and gets some space from his taller opponent. Elliott gets sloppy while rushing forward with a combination and nearly has his back taken in a scramble. Dodson is sidestepping punches from Elliott and countering with a nice right hook, and now the Greg Jackson charge starts mixing in combinations. Elliott is crouching low, bombing overhand strikes. He throws a body kick which Dodson catches and uses to trip Elliott down. Elliott throws his legs up for an armbar and Dodson lets him back up. Dodson misses with a flying knee, connects with the right hand behind it, but Elliott keeps pushing forward. With 45 seconds left in the round, Elliott takes a finger in the eye and ref Keith Peterson calls for the doctor. Elliott tells the physician he can see and the fight continues. More wild punches from Elliott and Dodson lights him up with a hard combination.
TJ De Santis scores the round 10-9 Dodson
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Dodson

Round 2
Elliott, still looking like he’s having difficulty with his left eye, tries a cartwheel kick early in the second frame. Dodson stays out of the way and jumps in with a knee. Elliott lands an overhand left but gets tagged with a counter as he continues pressing forward. Dodson lands a good combo to the body, finishing off with a leg kick. Elliott replies with an outside leg kick, misses with the right hand. Left hand scores for Elliott but Dodson comes cleaner with the right hand counter. Dodson feints right hooks, steps in with a knee to the body. Elliott wants the big left hand but Dodson is doing well to stay out of the way with two minutes remaining. Elliott tries some more wild kicks, then a single-leg; Dodson escapes again. Dodson steps off with a hard right hook, takes a grazing left from Elliott, and then catches Elliott below the belt with a low punch. Elliott quickly recovers and Dodson slams him to the ground with 30 seconds left. Elliott gets right back up and attacks with knees in the clinch, then finishes the round with more flailing arm-punches.
TJ De Santis scores the round 10-9 Dodson
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Dodson

Dodson is mixing in low kicks as he sidesteps around the outside to move away from the attacking Elliott. A nice left hand scores for Elliott. Dodson ducks the next one but Elliott throws a straight that lands. Elliott looks to be taking control as he stuffs a takedown from Dodson with half the round remaining. Dodson thuds a kick to the body and shuts down a single-leg. Elliott lands another left; Dodson retaliates with a grazing right hook and a step-in knee. Leg kicks on the inside and outside from Dodson now, and Elliott snaps his head back with a right hand. Elliott catches a kick from Dodson and swarms the smaller man with punches against the fence, but he lets Dodson out. Elliott catches another kick from Dodson and scores with more punches over the top. Dodson closes out the bout with a jumping knee that connects to Elliott’s body.
