Matty Betss sees juicy value in Hyder Amil by decision at +450. He reminded viewers that Delgado’s lone defeat is a decision and every one of his 14 wins ended inside the distance, making the Dominican more finish-or-bust than books admit. Amil, by contrast, has four decision victories and just showed he can edge a technical striker in William Gomis. Matty expects a pressure vs sniper battle that reaches the scorecards more often than pricing suggests, and if it does, Amil’s forward movement and volume should resonate with judges in what he predicts will be a split-type fight.

MMA Guru predicted Hyder Amil scores a late TKO—most likely in Round 3—over Jose Miguel Delgado. Delgado’s game is built on early, distance-keeping knockout bursts, but Guru has never seen him tested deep or forced to adjust when a round goes against him. By contrast, Amil has survived rough first frames against near-ranked featherweights like William Gomis, proven his chin, and shown he can rally with volume, clinch work, and opportunistic grappling. Guru believes that if the bout leaves the opening five minutes Amil’s superior toughness and cardio flip the odds dramatically, making a live bet on Amil after Round 1 or an Amil Round 3/decision prop valuable angles.

Monk likes Hyder Amil at $7,700 to break the slate again despite entering as a +135 underdog. Amil has hit the optimal lineup in all three of his UFC victories, scoring 131, 106, and 96 DK points thanks to relentless output (6.84 significant strikes landed per minute) and opportunistic wrestling. Jose Delgado throws similar volume (6.5 SLpM) but has logged only two short UFC fights, so his shiny defensive numbers may be fraudulent. With the bout −235 to finish inside the distance and sitting in the sweet-spot salary range ($8,500 / $7,700), Monk plans to target both sides heavily but will be overweight on Amil. He believes Amil’s deeper strength of schedule—split decision with Jairzinho Gomes, finishes of Ferny Garcia and Jun-Yong Lee—and superior experience give him the edge in a projected firefight that should deliver 90-plus points to the winner.
