Prediction, pick for Tommy Gantt vs. Adam Livingston on DWCS Season 9, Week 6

The third fight on tonight’s episode of Dana White’s Contender Series is a Lightweight fight between Tommy Gantt vs. Adam Livingston, two exciting 155-pound prospects. This is the first matchup of the show featuring two undefeated fighters, as Gantt is 10-0 with Livingston being 6-0.

Here is my best bet for Tommy Gantt vs. Adam Livingston on tonight’s episode of Dana White’s Contender Series.

Tommy Gantt to Win by KO/TKO/DQ or Submission (+175)

At 32 years old, Gantt is the oldest fighter on this card, but although he isn’t the age of a traditional prospect, he has all the tools to become a UFC fighter. Gantt is a former elite collegiate wrestler, winning an ACC Championship while being All-ACC in 2014 and 2016 at NC State. He is also a member of the newly opened MMA gym, The Academy Fight Club, led by former UFC two-division Champion Daniel Cormier.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Gantt is a slight -148 favorite while Livingston is a +124 underdog. Livingston is the younger fighter in this fight by eight years. The 24-year-old has won five of his six fights by finish and recently picked up two victories in LFA.

Gantt began his professional MMA career only 17 months ago and has racked up 10 victories with 10 finishes. This is Gantt’s second fight in 2025, and he has won his previous three fights by knockout. Even though Gantt was initially known for his wrestling, he has picked up six wins by KO/TKO. Since nine of Gantt’s 10 wins have come by finish, you can get him to beat Livingston via KO/TKO/DQ or submission at +175.
