Expert Picks (3)
BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked May 6, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Gregor Gillespie

Big Brady believes Gillespie's wrestling will be the difference, as he averages 7.02 takedowns per 15 minutes with 47% accuracy. He notes Ferreira has 68% takedown defense and was taken down five times in his last fight. Brady thinks Gillespie will control the fight on the mat with top control and superior cardio, winning a decision. He is not worried about Ferreira's submission threat off his back, as Ferreira has only two UFC submissions. He says the moneyline at -175 is worth a look.

Gillespie by decision (plus 150 worth a look)
"I'm gonna take lisby to win i'm going to say by decision i really don't see him finishing ferreira maybe like a third round finisher."
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked May 6, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Carlos Diego Ferreira

Daniel Levi picks Carlos Diego Ferreira, calling him the best jiu-jitsu guy in the division besides Oliveira and Dariush. He argues that Gillespie is overrated, citing his 50/50 fight with Jason Gonzalez and his loss to Kevin Lee. He believes Ferreira's jiu-jitsu will be too much for Gillespie, predicting a submission win. He notes Ferreira's ability to get back to his feet and his improved boxing, and thinks Gillespie will struggle to hold him down.

submission
"i actually think that saturday night live at the apex that uh that diego ferreira is going to be the first man in mma history to submit gregor gillespie"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Hesitant picked May 3, 2021 (5 days before fight)
Gregor Gillespie

The MMA Guru picks Gregor Gillespie over Carlos Diego Ferreira, acknowledging it's a risky pick. He trusts Gillespie's wrestling style, which avoids being submitted by staying in body lock positions rather than full guard. He also notes Ferreira took the fight on short notice and Gillespie had a full camp, which benefits Gillespie. He predicts a unanimous decision win.

"i'm gonna go with uh gregor gillespie in my opinion i think he's a very risky pick though"
