Kunath flat-out dismissed newcomer Mitch Ramirez as UFC-level talent, noting the betting market has Davis sitting as a monster favorite for good reason. Davis owns six UFC appearances against real competition and has finished three of his last four wins, whereas Ramirez has never faced anything close to this level. Kunath expects Davis to dominate wherever the fight goes—technical boxing on the feet or ground-and-pound once a takedown lands—and recommended parlaying the moneyline or looking at inside-the-distance props because "this should be one-way traffic."

Dan Tom said the only playable angle in a lopsided Mike Davis –1100 matchup is the violence market. He flagged the Under 2.5 rounds at –165 as “sneaky” value because Davis’ improved grappling gives him multiple finishing paths against the over-matched Mitch Ramirez. Tom noted that books will hang inflated inside-the-distance lines to compensate for the gigantic money-line, so bettors should shop for a Round-2 KO/TKO or submission prop that still pays plus money. Davis has quietly rounded out his jiu-jitsu game and Tom expects him to hunt chokes once Ramirez tires from the opening onslaught. In DFS, the heavyweight price tag is justified; Tom called Davis a core cash-game anchor who can post a slate-breaking early finish. He will include any playable Round-2 or submission number in his round-robin portfolio instead of laying the –1100.

MMA Guru backed Mike Davis to beat Mitch Ramirez but warned that the pre-fight line at roughly ‑1000 offers no value. Instead, he recommended waiting to see if Ramirez has his typical strong first round—Ramirez regularly fades after five minutes, as seen in his stoppage losses to Thiago Moises and Carlos Prates—then pouncing on a live line once the odds tighten. Guru trusts Davis’s durability and cardio to survive early exchanges and take over late, making a live bet or Davis round-2/3/decision prop more attractive than laying the full chalk.

Bedtime MMA forecasted Mike Davis winning a dominant decision over Mitch Ramirez. He called Davis "a pretty solid lightweight" who is stronger and more well-rounded than Ramirez and believes the fight swings on physicality and ground skills. Davis, in his view, carries the harder punch, a "major jiu-jitsu advantage," and punishing ground-and-pound that will show up once takedowns land. Ramirez’s durability concerns—being leg-kick TKO’d by Thiago Moises and walked off by Carlos Prates—further tilt the matchup toward Davis, who is expected to take Ramirez down, control him, threaten submissions, and pile up damage without needing a finish.
