Brunno Ferreira

Picked against on the reasoning that he needs to win the first round on the feet since the analyst doesn't think his grappling outmatches the opponent's, though a caveat is added that an early knockout wouldn't be a surprise.

A good striker with real pop in his hands who feints heavily to control range, using those feints to make opponents wary of a shot before darting into the pocket for big shots and getting back out quickly -- effective from either stance. A nasty armbar and good scrambling round out a grappling game that also includes good ground and pound if he lands on top, though the analyst thinks it isn't enough to out-grapple this specific opponent.

Explicitly says he doesn't blame anyone for backing Ferreira again given the first finish, but picks Rodrigues anyway to even the series.

A powerful, well-rounded striker who wins with range management and feints, switching stances and stepping into range and back out again to draw reactions before timing his real shot, exactly the pattern that produced the finish in their first meeting. He backs that up with a strong ground game, including heavy ground-and-pound, good scrambles, and a reliable armbar, built on a stockier, harder-to-take-down frame. His one flag is a tendency to start extremely fast, which can occasionally leave him overextended early.
