You can watch the full video above and read excerpts below:

John Dodson

“Dude, that one’s going to be a hard one to say. I had Corey Anderson counted out in the last fight [with Johnny Walker]. He proved me wrong and shut me up. I’m actually going to have his back on this one. I think he’s going to go out there and beat Jan and control the pace.”

Jimmie Rivera

“I’m going to go with Corey Anderson this time. I think he is hungry and wants to get a title and shot and this is his chance. He knows if he beats Jan he can get a shot at the belt.

Sarah Kaufman

“I actually don’t know for that one. Corey Anderson always seems to pull out wins when I don’t think he will. I guess maybe I’ll go with him on this one.”
