Jhonata Diniz

predicts he'll finish him

A clearly superior striker here: real power, combinations that include mid-level knees, and an ability to attack at every level rather than one note. His grappling, by contrast, is called one of the weakest in the division -- not a physical inability per the analyst, just a lack of polish. Coming off an extended absence from competition.

He explicitly conditions the pick on Pinto actually committing to his grappling game plan, adding 'shame on me' if that plan does not materialize -- a direct condition on the win itself, not on method or round.

Good-to-solid striker who can hit at every range, with real power, combination work and nice knees up the middle, holding a slight edge standing. Very weak off his back on the ground -- effectively inert once taken down and controlled.

He calls it a genuinely tough fight to pick, admits he's really struggling with this one, and lands on Hines only because of output/cardio while conceding that an early knockout loss for his own pick wouldn't surprise him at all -- an explicit, stated expectation that his own pick could lose in exactly the way the opponent is dangerous.

Diniz (recorded here under the card's own literal slug 'jhonata-dniz'; the roster/history slug is 'jhonata-diniz' -- see flag) is read as the clearly better pure striker: power, combinations that mix levels, decent striking defense and a good knee up the middle. His explicitly named problem is the grappling exchange -- he is weak off his back and, per the analyst, has been taken down by essentially anyone -- which is the whole case for the underdog in this fight.

States plainly that he is siding with Tybura, reasoning that the competitive jump is too soon for Diniz and that his takedown defense needs to improve first; no qualifier on the win itself.

Rated well ahead of Tybura on the feet -- full-range power, sharp combination work, heavy knees, and a defensive shell unusually tight for a heavyweight. His grappling is the big hole -- a kickboxing base with little mat training, questionable (self-admittedly generous) takedown defense, and real trouble standing back up once grounded. The analyst frames this as too large a competitive leap, too soon.

names Lewis outright as the pick with a real mechanism (elite, fight-ending power he can land in any round, plus a floated takedown wildcard), but stacks real hedges on the win itself: says a Lewis fight is simply unpredictable to wager on, concedes the opponent is 'probably the better striker', and calls this 'a tough fight to call'; a fan-bias disclosure (admits he is partly rooting for the guy) does not by itself demote the grade, but the stacked uncertainty language keeps this at lean rather than clear.

A solid, kickboxing-based striker who strikes to all levels with good power and good combinations, defensively sound for a heavyweight, with good knees up the middle. Undefeated and unproven in a different way: his grappling is effectively unknown -- the only data point is a round where he was taken down and held down -- so the analyst declines to grade it rather than guess.

The pick rests explicitly on judges rewarding control time over damage, not on Williams out-fighting Diniz. He concedes a losing route outright and leaves it unanswered -- an early knockout he never argues against. He voices real enthusiasm for the pick, but that sits right beside the unrebutted finish risk, which is what caps the grade.

He is the one credited as the better, more dangerous striker in this matchup -- called a knockout artist who likely finishes in the first round if he wins. He is also judged the bigger and heavier man. Despite that, the analyst does not pick him, arguing the fight plays out as a control-time fight that favors the other man.

Admits he lacks real conviction on either side, picking mainly to have a pick, and tells viewers this one is fine to skip betting on.

A solid, kickboxing-based striker with a clean, 6-0 record who strikes to all levels - legs, body and head - with good power, combinations and defensive soundness. His knees up the middle double as a real takedown deterrent, and his takedown defense appears solid thus far, though the analyst is careful to call it untested at a high level. Grappling skill is unknown entirely, and the pick leans on the striking gap rather than any real certainty.
