Expert Picks (7)
AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Nov 10, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Felicia Spencer

Angelo picks Felicia Spencer to win inside the distance, having placed a prop bet at +190. He notes Spencer's strong grappling and top pressure, and that Letson has a three-year layoff and holes on the ground. Angelo expects Spencer to ragdoll Letson and finish via TKO or submission.

BI
Big Brady Expert Confident picked Nov 9, 2021 (4 days before fight)
Felicia Spencer

Big Brady picks Felicia Spencer but notes she is overrated and the line is too wide. He acknowledges Spencer's ground game is phenomenal (black belt BJJ) but her wrestling to get it there is questionable. He expects Spencer to take down Letson and get a submission, but warns that if she doesn't wrestle, it could be competitive.

"i'll take spencer to win by like a second round submission"
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Lean picked Nov 10, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Felicia Spencer

Cody agrees with Paul's concerns about Spencer's wrestling. He notes that Letson has a long layoff and a poor resume. He thinks Spencer should win but is not confident enough to bet heavily. He calls it a 'dog or pass' situation.

"i'm not touching yeah i'm not touching let's and coming off of three-year layoff"
DA
Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Nov 11, 2021 (2 days before fight)
Felicia Spencer

Daniel Levi picks Felicia Spencer, citing her black belt jiu-jitsu and ability to get takedowns and control on the mat. He notes that Leah Letson has been out for three years and lacks the striking power to hurt Spencer, who has a proven chin against Cyborg and Nunes. Levi expects a submission or ground-and-pound TKO, though he acknowledges the price is steep.

submission or ground-and-pound TKO
"give me felicia spencer i just don't feel comfortable laying a price like that on her"
JA
Jacob Lines Expert Confident picked Nov 10, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Felicia Spencer

Jacob picks Felicia Spencer to dominate, agreeing with the inside distance bet. He notes that Spencer had good moments against Nunes and that Letson is not on that level. Jacob thinks Spencer will get the takedown and finish.

"i'll probably that ride that uh inside the distance bet with you i think she absolutely uh dominate this fight"
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Hesitant picked Nov 10, 2021 (3 days before fight)
Felicia Spencer

Paul is worried that Spencer's wrestling is poor and she has a reluctance to grapple, as seen in the Dumont fight where she attempted zero takedowns. He thinks she should dominate on the ground but might make it harder by striking. He still picks Spencer but with low confidence.

"i'm gonna take felicia spencer but yeah i'm just a little bit worried"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Nov 13, 2021 (fight day)
Felicia Spencer

The Guru picks Felicia Spencer by first-round TKO via ground and pound. He expects Spencer to take Letson down, advance to mount and back mount, and land heavy shots until the referee stops it. He compares it to a previous finish where a fighter pounded from back mount.
