Expert Picks (7)
Angelo picks You Su-young over AJ Cunningham. He notes that You is a relentless wrestler who will shoot takedowns constantly, while Cunningham's takedown defense is poor. He sees no value in the moneyline but suggests round line or takedown props.
Big Brady picks You Su-young, noting that AJ Cunningham has taken severe damage in recent fights and is likely not UFC caliber. He describes You as a wrestler with good cardio and slick jiu-jitsu (nicknamed 'Yu Jitsu'), who will take Cunningham down and control him. Brady expects a decision win for You, though he mentions a possible finish if Cunningham's weight cut is tough.
Cody picks Elijah Smith, citing his athleticism and wrestling background. He notes that Kazama has a dangerous submission game but has been knocked down and finished in losses. He believes Smith's power and wrestling will be too much, though he is wary of submission threats. He considers Smith by TKO as a prop.
Daniel does not make a clear pick for this fight. He discusses the matchup briefly but does not state a preference or bet.
The host believes You will utilize his grappling advantage to get the fight to the ground and twist up Cunningham into a pretzel. He expects You to win with relative ease by submission.
Paul also picks Smith, noting that Kazama has been knocked down in all his UFC losses and that Smith has power. He believes Smith will avoid submissions and ground and pound for a finish. He is concerned about Smith's inexperience but still expects a win.
The MMA Guru hesitantly picks You Su-young, despite being tempted by AJ Cunningham as an underdog. He notes Cunningham trains with Bryce Mitchell and has potential, but lacks momentum and was badly beaten by Ludovic Klein. He thinks Su-young is underrated, coming through Road to UFC, and has good momentum. However, he admits he doesn't understand why Su-young is a 7-1 favorite and sees value on Cunningham, but ultimately goes with Su-young.

Expert Picks (4)
Big Brady picks Klein, noting Cunningham is very hittable and took a lot of damage on the Contender Series. He thinks Klein can land bigger shots and mix in takedowns. He predicts a decision win for Klein, acknowledging Cunningham's toughness but expecting Klein to control the fight.
Cody picks Klein, detailing Cunningham's weaknesses: no head movement, poor wrestling, and a history of taking damage. He notes Klein's southpaw stance and straight left will be a problem for Cunningham. Cody believes Klein can dictate where the fight goes and will likely finish Cunningham, who has been knocked out before.
Paul picks Klein, calling it a mismatch. He notes Cunningham is a short-notice replacement moving up a weight class with poor striking defense. Paul believes Klein's straight left will land all night and that Cunningham's only chance is a lucky punch. He expects Klein to win by knockout or dominant decision.
The MMA Guru is very confident in Klein, citing that Cunningham has not beaten a single good opponent in his career and lost to known opponents. He believes Klein will dominate and beat Cunningham badly.
You Su has low wattage. AJ fight with his heart but doesn't have a great tank. 135 debut for AJ
You Su sucks to watch. Doesn't want to fight. Will get murdered by all proper wrestlers. Had nice trips and sweeps. Coasts on top, comfortable in subs it seems, lets see how comfortable he is after getting ragged dolled. AJ new camp showed better footwork but it all seemed new to him at times. He is slow at 135 but massive not clever enough for the division.
