Pick Alessandro Costa · KO/TKO · R2
Result Alessandro Costa by Sub, R2 Hit
All analysts: 16 picks — 12 Costa · 4 Durden
Frames Costa as the much better striker with the strength and takedown defense to punish Durden's wrestling-first game. He expects Costa to rip the body, stuff enough shots, hurt Durden in round two and finish with ground-and-pound.
“I'm picking Costa second round TKO.”
-
Pick Farid Basharat · Sub · R2
Result Farid Basharat by Dec, R3 Hit
All analysts: 7 picks — 7 Basharat · 0 Garza
Notes that Garza is stepping in on short notice from Fury FC and calls the original Ethyn Ewing matchup tougher. He sees Basharat as the more polished, well-rounded fighter with the takedowns and jiu-jitsu to finally find a finish.
“Farad Basherat. I'll say arm triangle. I'll say second round arm triangle for Farad Basherat.”

Result Max Holloway by KO/TKO, R1 Hit
