The running record
Every figure below is cumulative — computed over all resolved calls up to and including each card, never one card on its own. A cumulative rate settles as the denominator grows: read where a line sits alongside its denominator. Winner covers every resolved call; method, round and underdog each have a different and much smaller base, printed beside each one.
Hit Miss Field median Gap to the field
17 of 25 — 68% now, from 67% at their first scored card.
-
Method
60% 3 of 5 correct winners that named a method
-
Round
1 of 1 correct winner that named a round — too few to chart a trend.
-
Underdog
1 of 1 priced underdog call — too few to chart a trend.
The opening point is drawn dashed and hollow: below 5 scored calls this rate is not yet a reliable figure.

| Ribovics · to win | Ribovics · KO/TKO R1 | Hit | Not called | Not called | |
Bodetti favors Ribovics’s cleaner, faster, higher-volume striking and expects him to handle Green’s occasional wrestling. He sees Green’s age as another reason to favor Ribovics. | |||||
| Nolan · Dec | Nolan · KO/TKO R3 | Hit | Miss | Not called | |
Bodetti favors Nolan’s youth and expects McGee’s toughness and wrestling to slow the fight. He picks Nolan but avoids the matchup for DraftKings because he does not expect a finish. | |||||
| McGhee · to win | McGhee · KO/TKO R1 | Hit | Not called | Not called | |

| Coria · to win | Rodriguez · KO/TKO R1 | Miss | Not applicable — the winner call missed | Not applicable — the winner call missed | |
Bodetti takes the underdog Coria by a narrow margin, regarding his hands as equally clean and fast while favoring his wrestling, grappling and cardio. He considers it a competitive matchup rather than a confident lock. | |||||
| Silva · Dec | Silva · Dec R5 | Hit | Hit | Not called | |
Bodetti expects Silva’s movement and cleaner outside striking to carry her to a decision, with grappling options available if needed. He anticipates Silva taking most rounds rather than a finish. | |||||
| Smith · KO/TKO | Smith · KO/TKO R1 | Hit | Hit | Not called | |
Bodetti sees Smith as the faster, more powerful fighter with a wrestling advantage and expects a knockout, probably on the feet. He cautions that the short-notice replacement and elevation could make the fight slower or sloppier. | |||||
