Miss Harris vs Hines We Want Picks: predicted Hines · to win for Harris vs Hines. Actual Harris · KO/TKO R1. Result: Miss.
Takes Hines to survive Harris' wild punches, get the fight to the ground and take over with durability, cardio and wrestling.
Hit Ricci vs Kline We Want Picks: predicted Kline · to win for Ricci vs Kline. Actual Kline · Dec. Result: Hit.
Calls Kline the better striker, wrestler and grappler, and sees no route for the current version of Ricci to control her.
Hit Basharat vs Garza We Want Picks: predicted Basharat · to win for Basharat vs Garza. Actual Basharat · Dec. Result: Hit.
They respect John Garza's clean boxing and short-notice danger, but see Basharat as the safer side because he is unlikely to trade recklessly in the pocket. The grappling and overall MMA layer are framed as too much too soon for Garza.
“He's just miles ahead.”
Hit Cortez vs Wang We Want Picks: predicted Wang · to win for Cortez vs Wang. Actual Wang · Dec. Result: Hit.
They frame the fight as binary: either Cortez controls with wrestling or Wang wins the striking clearly. Both land on Wang because they trust her improving takedown defense and cleaner damage more than Cortez's control-heavy path.
“I do think Kong Wang wins this fight.”
No pick Costa vs Durden We Want Picks: made no pick for Costa vs Durden. Actual Costa · Sub R2. Result: No pick.
The We Want Picks hosts split the desk call: Angelo picked Alessandro Costa because of the power and knockout threat, while Jacob picked Cody Durden as a survivor-wrestler who can bank control if he avoids the early damage.
Hit Gandra vs Reese We Want Picks: predicted Gandra · to win for Gandra vs Reese. Actual Gandra · KO/TKO R1. Result: Hit.
Both hosts side with Ryan Gandra while acknowledging Reese can become live if he survives the opening minutes. They trust Gandra's pressure and right-hand power against Reese's tall, hittable defensive posture.
- Jacob specifically liked a first-round knockout angle, but the shared desk pick is Gandra to win.
“I'm all over Ryan Gandra.”
Hit Garbrandt vs Yañez We Want Picks: predicted Yañez · to win for Garbrandt vs Yañez. Actual Yañez · KO/TKO R1. Result: Hit.
They think Adrian Yanez is faster, cleaner and more technical, while Cody Garbrandt is too reliant on one big counter. The warning is for Yanez to stay patient rather than chase a knockout and create Cody's best counter window.
- Jacob liked Yanez by decision, but the shared desk call is stored winner-only.
“Adrien's the pick.”
No pick McGregor vs Holloway We Want Picks: made no pick for McGregor vs Holloway. Actual Holloway · KO/TKO R1. Result: No pick.
The hosts split rather than giving a desk consensus: Angelo says Conor McGregor has no realistic comeback path and expects Max Holloway to finish him, while Jacob knowingly makes a contrarian McGregor pick after conceding Max is the obvious side and bet.
Hit Pimblett vs Saint Denis We Want Picks: predicted Pimblett · to win for Pimblett vs Saint Denis. Actual Pimblett · Sub R1. Result: Hit.
Both hosts say they originally understood the Benoit Saint Denis wrestling case, but flipped toward Paddy Pimblett after rewatching recent tape and weighing durability. They still call the grappling dangerous if BSD gets top position, but pick Paddy as the tougher, more damaging side.
- They are explicit that this is a pick, not a confident bet.
“I'm taking Patty.”
Miss Pinas vs Almeida We Want Picks: predicted Almeida · to win for Pinas vs Almeida. Actual Pinas · KO/TKO R1. Result: Miss.
They give Damian Pinas real first-round knockout value because of his pressure and power, but the shared pick is Cesar Almeida. The argument is that Almeida is the cleaner, more experienced striker if he survives the early heat and the fight extends.
- They separate the pick from the bet: Pinas round-one KO has value, but Almeida is their winner.
“I'm going Caesar as a pick.”
Hit Riley vs Kamaka We Want Picks: predicted Riley · to win for Riley vs Kamaka. Actual Riley · KO/TKO R1. Result: Hit.
They have concerns about Luke Riley if Kai Kamaka can force clinches and make rounds ugly, but both still pick Riley. The shared logic is that Riley is the cleaner and faster striker in what should mostly be a striking matchup.
“Luke Riley is the pick.”
Miss Royval vs Kavanagh We Want Picks: predicted Kavanagh · to win for Royval vs Kavanagh. Actual Royval · Sub R3. Result: Miss.
They pick Lone'er Kavanagh for his speed, clean technical striking and cardio, while noting Brandon Royval's experience and chaos make it dangerous. The argument is that Kavanagh can keep the pace and avoid being dragged into Royval's weird submission-heavy fight.
“He should win this fight.”
No pick Sandhagen vs Bautista We Want Picks: made no pick for Sandhagen vs Bautista. Actual Bautista · Dec. Result: No pick.
The desk split the rematch: Angelo picked Mario Bautista, citing the improved wrestling and overall game, while Jacob picked Cory Sandhagen by decision because he expects Sandhagen's activity and movement to win the striking minutes.
Hit Steveson vs Ellison We Want Picks: predicted Steveson · to win for Steveson vs Ellison. Actual Steveson · KO/TKO R1. Result: Hit.
They treat Steveson as the obvious side because of the wrestling base and physical tools, while rejecting the contrarian case against him as overthinking. Ellison is acknowledged as aggressive and hard-hitting, but not enough to offset Steveson's athletic and grappling advantages.
“Gable is going to win this fight.”
Hit Whittaker vs Krylov We Want Picks: predicted Whittaker · to win for Whittaker vs Krylov. Actual Whittaker · KO/TKO R3. Result: Hit.
Both pick Robert Whittaker despite some concern about the move to light heavyweight and Krylov's size. They still see Whittaker as the better fighter technically, faster and cleaner on the feet, with enough skill to manage the matchup.
“I'm picking Bobby Knuckles.”
Hit Lewis vs Hokit We Want Picks: predicted Hokit · to win for Lewis vs Hokit. Actual Hokit · KO/TKO R2. Result: Hit.
Hokit has no quit and relentless forward pressure, while Lewis has shown he'll quit when a finish isn't coming; his most confident pick on the card.
Hit Lopes vs Garcia We Want Picks: predicted Lopes · to win for Lopes vs Garcia. Actual Lopes · KO/TKO R2. Result: Hit.
A tiny lean for Diego: once you factor in his grappling and five-round title-fight experience he's the more dangerous overall.
Hit Nickal vs Daukaus We Want Picks: predicted Nickal · to win for Nickal vs Daukaus. Actual Nickal · KO/TKO R1. Result: Hit.
Nickal won't get submitted, should get the takedowns he wants, control where the fight goes and win almost everywhere.
Hit O'Malley vs Zahabi We Want Picks: predicted O'Malley · to win for O'Malley vs Zahabi. Actual O'Malley · KO/TKO R2. Result: Hit.
Sean is the far more accurate striker with more power and controls the range against a Zahabi who doesn't threaten takedowns or move forward.
Hit Pereira vs Gane We Want Picks: predicted Gane · to win for Pereira vs Gane. Actual Gane · KO/TKO R2. Result: Hit.
Despite being a vocal Pereira fan, he thinks Gane is too fast, too clean and too big for Pereira to walk down and knock out at heavyweight.
Hit Ruffy vs Chandler We Want Picks: predicted Ruffy · to win for Ruffy vs Chandler. Actual Ruffy · KO/TKO R1. Result: Hit.
Chandler will fight to entertain rather than wrestle, and Ruffy's big finishing power will smack him; one of the more confident picks on the card.
Miss Topuria vs Gaethje We Want Picks: predicted Topuria · KO/TKO · R1 for Topuria vs Gaethje. Actual Gaethje · KO/TKO R4. Result: Miss.
Topuria is too fast and hits too hard, and beats Gaethje almost anywhere; only a weather-the-storm grind gives Gaethje a chance. He expects a first-round KO.
Hit Amosov vs Álvarez We Want Picks: predicted Amosov · to win for Amosov vs Álvarez. Actual Amosov · Sub R2. Result: Hit.
We Want Picks makes Amosov the pick because his wrestling can put Alvarez on his back whenever he wants, neutralizing the cleaner striking.
Miss Brady vs Buckley We Want Picks: predicted Buckley · to win for Brady vs Buckley. Actual Brady · Dec. Result: Miss.
Buckley is too dangerous on the feet and stuffs takedowns, like he did against Usman.
Miss Chimaev vs Strickland We Want Picks: predicted Chimaev · to win for Chimaev vs Strickland. Actual Strickland · Dec. Result: Miss.
Chimaev's wrestling is just too dominant; sees Strickland losing on control time.
Miss Dawson vs Rębecki We Want Picks: predicted Rębecki · to win for Dawson vs Rębecki. Actual Dawson · Sub R3. Result: Miss.
We Want Picks chooses Rebecki, framing the fight as Rebecki's violence versus Dawson's control and siding with the pressure fighter.
Hit Green vs Stephens We Want Picks: predicted Green · to win for Green vs Stephens. Actual Green · Sub R1. Result: Hit.
Green is the better striker in a mostly-striking matchup, and can wrestle if he needs to.
Miss Miller vs Gordon We Want Picks: predicted Gordon · Decision for Miller vs Gordon. Actual Miller · Sub R1. Result: Miss.
We Want Picks picks Gordon by decision, treating his hands and takedown defense as enough while refusing to lay a heavy price against Miller at home.
Miss Ochoa vs Carpenter We Want Picks: predicted Carpenter · to win for Ochoa vs Carpenter. Actual Ochoa · Dec R3. Result: Miss.
We Want Picks backs Carpenter to grind his way to a win, arguing Ochoa will not be able to take him down and Carpenter has faced tougher opposition.
Hit Sabatini vs Gomis We Want Picks: predicted Sabatini · to win for Sabatini vs Gomis. Actual Sabatini · Dec R3. Result: Hit.
We Want Picks makes Sabatini the pick because Gomis can be taken down and lacks the one-punch threat that usually punishes Sabatini.
Hit Van vs Taira We Want Picks: predicted Van · to win for Van vs Taira. Actual Van · KO/TKO R5. Result: Hit.
Van keeps it on the feet and defends the takedowns — and to him that's all that matters.
Miss Volkov vs Cortes-Acosta We Want Picks: predicted Cortes-Acosta · to win for Volkov vs Cortes-Acosta. Actual Volkov · Dec. Result: Miss.
Backs Cortes-Acosta as the faster, more powerful, higher-motor athlete with a real puncher’s chance.
Miss Blaydes vs Hokit We Want Picks: predicted Blaydes · to win for Blaydes vs Hokit. Actual Hokit · Dec. Result: Miss.
No frame of reference for Hokit's level of competition; Blaydes's experience takes over late.
Miss Costa vs Murzakanov We Want Picks: predicted Murzakanov · to win for Costa vs Murzakanov. Actual Costa · KO/TKO R3. Result: Miss.
Azamat's power and high-level wrestling; Costa is a question mark moving up to 205.
Miss Prochazka vs Ulberg We Want Picks: predicted Prochazka · to win for Prochazka vs Ulberg. Actual Ulberg · KO/TKO R1. Result: Miss.
Acknowledges Ulberg is more technical but trusts Jiri's experience and elite finishing.
Hit Reyes vs Walker We Want Picks: predicted Reyes · to win for Reyes vs Walker. Actual Reyes · Dec. Result: Hit.
Went against his instinct to take Walker — Reyes is simply the more technical of the two.
Hit Swanson vs Landwehr We Want Picks: predicted Swanson · to win for Swanson vs Landwehr. Actual Swanson · KO/TKO R1. Result: Hit.
Landwehr's chin has given out; Swanson is the better fighter in every aspect.
Miss Adesanya vs Pyfer We Want Picks: predicted Adesanya · to win for Adesanya vs Pyfer. Actual Pyfer · KO/TKO R2. Result: Miss.
Old and chinny, but still the better, more technical fighter — picks Izzy to manage range.
Miss Grasso vs Barber We Want Picks: predicted Barber · to win for Grasso vs Barber. Actual Grasso · KO/TKO R1. Result: Miss.
Barber's wrestling and confidence grind out a win — flagged as a low-confidence pick.
Hit McKinney vs Nelson We Want Picks: predicted McKinney · to win for McKinney vs Nelson. Actual McKinney · KO/TKO R1. Result: Hit.
McKinney is the more skilled fighter across the board; a half-unit play.
