UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang | MMA DraftKings DFS Picks, Plays & Process · Daily Fantasy Sports by Ship It Nation

0:04
Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff.
0:36
Speaker 2: What's going on, everybody? Hope everyone's having a great week.
0:39
Speaker 2: We are back talking some UFC. We got a numbered card,
0:42
Speaker 2: UFC 322. You would not know it when you just
0:46
Speaker 2: look at the main event. We will get there a
0:48
Speaker 2: little later, but Salt Lake City, Utah. I actually have
0:51
Speaker 2: attended fights in Salt Lake City. One of my favorite cards.
0:55
Speaker 2: Crowd absolutely rocking from the get-go. That's if anyone remembers
0:58
Speaker 2: the picture I got with Theo Vaughn. It was a
1:00
Speaker 2: phenomenal card. Atmosphere is great. We have 14 fights, so
1:04
Speaker 2: even though that main event isn't great, to be honest,
1:06
Speaker 2: you could argue it's even better for DFS because by
1:09
Speaker 2: no means do you have to go all in on
1:11
Speaker 2: that fight. One other note, we had a late notice replacement.
1:15
Speaker 2: It was Marcus McGee versus Bernardo Sopai, which was going
1:20
Speaker 2: to be a good mid-tier fight. Out is Sopai, in
1:23
Speaker 2: is Anthony Romero, which brings Marcus McGee from like a
1:26
Speaker 2: minus 150 favorite to a minus 480 favorite, and his
1:29
Speaker 2: price doesn't change, so... That's a quick broad slate for me.
1:32
Speaker 2: 14 fights is good for DFS, though. How are we
1:35
Speaker 2: doing today, Big Marley?
1:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, doing good. I mean, I think it's a tough card, too.
1:41
Speaker 1: We have 14 fights. I think almost the entire 9K
1:45
Speaker 1: are guys I want to pay up for. But at
1:47
Speaker 1: the same time, there's not a lot of underdogs that
1:49
Speaker 1: I like. So it's going to be hard to get there.
1:51
Speaker 1: So looking forward to talking it out with you. Hopefully
1:53
Speaker 1: you can talk me on to another one or two.
1:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll do my best and try again. The nice
1:58
Speaker 2: thing is about 14 fights, like even if we are
2:00
Speaker 2: picking almost all favorites and stuff, if you go and
2:02
Speaker 2: try and parlay a bunch of favorites, even like the
2:05
Speaker 2: top five highest price guys, you're going to find that
2:08
Speaker 2: is plus money. There is an underdog that is expected
2:10
Speaker 2: to win even with the biggest favorites when you start
2:13
Speaker 2: parlaying to get them together. So definitely not a fight
2:16
Speaker 2: that I'm going to be or card that I'm going
2:18
Speaker 2: to be stacking any fights. I can always leave money,
2:20
Speaker 2: of course, but the upper tier is very strong. I
2:23
Speaker 2: agree with this man, King Green, And Esteban Ruvik is
2:27
Speaker 2: going to be one hell of a fight. You can
2:29
Speaker 2: definitely argue that is the best fight of the night.
2:31
Speaker 2: Just looking at Big Marley's stuff quick, he has two
2:33
Speaker 2: five-star fights and then some fours and a lot of
2:36
Speaker 2: three-star fights. Do you plan on going all-in on any fight?
2:41
Speaker 1: No.
2:44
Speaker 2: It'd be no for me, too. I think it's pretty
2:47
Speaker 2: hard to make a case to have 100% of one
2:49
Speaker 2: individual fight on this 14-fight card.
2:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's the 9K guys that I like the most,
2:56
Speaker 1: but they're all so close to each other where I'd
2:59
Speaker 1: be fine with any one-off.
3:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, any broad slate for you besides what I mentioned?
3:05
Speaker 1: No, I think– I don't know how the field is
3:11
Speaker 1: going to handle the main event. I know they're not
3:13
Speaker 1: going to be as heavy as most main events, but–
3:17
Speaker 1: I also think it could lead to people to more
3:19
Speaker 1: Kong just to get to those people that, that we'll
3:22
Speaker 1: be talking about later.
3:23
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's definitely sharp, especially now with the
3:26
Speaker 2: Marcus McGeep 8,500 and him being pretty appealing kind of
3:29
Speaker 2: in the Natalia silver range. I do think that main
3:32
Speaker 2: events a lot lower than we usually see, obviously always
3:35
Speaker 2: gets ownership still, but yeah, I do think Wayne Kong
3:38
Speaker 2: probably gets up there in terms of ownership because of
3:41
Speaker 2: the lack of dogs and ability to spend up elsewhere,
3:44
Speaker 2: but we'll go, Fight by fight, like always, bottom to
3:47
Speaker 2: top is how we do it. What's up? T-Bird, very
3:52
Speaker 2: fake pay-per-view. Yeah, I agree. It's not great. But for DFS, again,
3:57
Speaker 2: 14 fights, that matters more to me than just the
4:00
Speaker 2: main event. Let's head over to Chipination quick, just show
4:03
Speaker 2: you what we got going on. You can see the
4:05
Speaker 2: NFL-only deal up here. But you're watching MMA, so you

5:24
Speaker 2: Like button, subscribe button does help us out a ton.
5:26
Speaker 2: What did Jeff say? I like Wang. The UFC really
5:28
Speaker 2: wants her to win to set up a Valentina fight.
5:30
Speaker 1: Maybe.
5:31
Speaker 2: Maybe we will see. Valentina had to vacate her belt
5:35
Speaker 2: due to injury. So that's the fight that we have
5:38
Speaker 2: right there. For the vacated belt. All right. I say
5:42
Speaker 2: we go bottom to top. As always no time to waste.
5:45
Speaker 2: This isn't the official bout order. Like this Jacoby Smith
5:48
Speaker 2: fight isn't first. It's been changed around a bit. But
5:50
Speaker 2: again the bout order does not matter. When it comes
5:53
Speaker 2: to DFS. First fight of the night. First fight going
5:57
Speaker 2: based on the stone. The highest priced and biggest favorite.
6:00
Speaker 2: Jacoby Smith minus 1,000. Taking on Bruce Whitehead plus 661.
6:04
Speaker 2: Minus 1,400 for this fight to finish. Smith minus 750
6:09
Speaker 2: inside the distance. Whitehead plus 750. I do not see any. Actually,
6:14
Speaker 2: I take that back. Minus 160 is Smith in round one.
6:17
Speaker 2: I think it's the same story as usual. 9800 is
6:21
Speaker 2: a big price tag, especially when there is appealing options
6:24
Speaker 2: for cheaper that I think have similar upside. So I'll
6:28
Speaker 2: probably be underweight Smith, zero Whitehead. And that's how I
6:31
Speaker 2: plan on attacking the first fight. What about you?
6:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I put it as a four-star because I didn't
6:37
Speaker 1: know his salary when I was doing that. But, yeah, 9,800
6:40
Speaker 1: is probably going to end up pricing him out of
6:42
Speaker 1: a lot of my lineups just because I like 92
6:45
Speaker 1: and up. On a card where I just don't like
6:48
Speaker 1: a lot of underdogs, I think it's going to be
6:50
Speaker 1: hard to get to Smith, and he's probably going to
6:52
Speaker 1: be priced out of the optimal lineup even if he
6:54
Speaker 1: puts up 110 points. But I think it's still Smith
6:58
Speaker 1: or pass. I mean, Whitehead's going to need to knock
7:01
Speaker 1: Smith out with, a flash KO, or maybe just grab
7:05
Speaker 1: a neck and choke him out at some point. I
7:08
Speaker 1: don't see how Whitehead's going to win minutes against a
7:10
Speaker 1: guy like Smith, just super athletic, explosive, powerful, and a
7:15
Speaker 1: great wrestler. I think Smith is going to do what
7:17
Speaker 1: he wants in this fight, probably go in, try and
7:20
Speaker 1: get a knockout if he doesn't, look for takedowns, and
7:23
Speaker 1: then I think he finishes him with either ground and
7:25
Speaker 1: pound or or a choke. But either way, I think
7:29
Speaker 1: Smith dominates the fight. I just don't like the $ 9, 800.
7:32
Speaker 1: So probably passing and hoping Smith scores 105.
7:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'll be hoping to. You can see
7:39
Speaker 2: Anthony Wint, 500 less. Pinas, 400 less. I could plug
7:44
Speaker 2: any Smith lineup in, drop to those two, even in
7:46
Speaker 2: a vacuum. And I think there is upside that they
7:48
Speaker 2: could outscore Smith. But also just easier to leave $ 300
7:51
Speaker 2: when you play Wint. Instead of Smith, you don't have
7:54
Speaker 2: to make it just a 1v1 pivot. It's something I'm
7:57
Speaker 2: fine doing in chalky teams, though. Next fight on the card,
8:02
Speaker 2: retirement fight for the good old Court McGee. He's taking
8:05
Speaker 2: on Eric Nolan. Minus 225, Nolan. Plus 189 is Court McGee.
8:12
Speaker 2: Minus 145 for this fight to finish. Nolan, minus 105
8:15
Speaker 2: inside the distance. Court, plus 575. So you can see
8:19
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, it was Eric Nolan at minus 265. Now
8:24
Speaker 2: it's minus 225. Eric Nolan did open minus 350 as well.
8:28
Speaker 2: So money has continued to pour in on the Court
8:31
Speaker 2: McGee side. We need dogs on this card. I know
8:34
Speaker 2: it's his retirement fight. I know he's 41 years old.
8:37
Speaker 2: But if he doesn't get chinned, I think this could
8:39
Speaker 2: be a competitive fight. Court, strong, can use his clinch,
8:43
Speaker 2: his savviness, his veteran ability. can probably get takedowns in
8:47
Speaker 2: this fight if he needs it. At 7,200, any win
8:51
Speaker 2: I would take, he's taking money. This fight's expected to finish.
8:54
Speaker 2: I am going to have some Court McGee. Now, I
8:57
Speaker 2: think I'm going to have some Eric Nolan as well
8:59
Speaker 2: for the simple fact that I think he's going to
9:00
Speaker 2: be very low owned. Maybe Court McGee's just so done
9:04
Speaker 2: and gets chin right away, but Nolan has power and
9:06
Speaker 2: he's minus 105 inside the distance, plus 235 in round one.
9:11
Speaker 2: At ownership, those are pretty good props as a way
9:14
Speaker 2: to get different in that 9K range. So, Doesn't sound
9:17
Speaker 2: too appealing, but I think this is going to be
9:19
Speaker 2: a fight I'll be overweight on to start the night.
9:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately, I'm going to be the same. Court McGee
9:25
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite underdog picks on the card
9:28
Speaker 1: just because it is his retirement fight in his hometown.
9:33
Speaker 1: I feel like the UFC was like, yo, here's the roster.
9:35
Speaker 1: Pick out somebody you could beat and ride off into
9:38
Speaker 1: the sunset. And he picks Eric Nolan. I think he's
9:40
Speaker 1: got a chance against Nolan. I mean, Nolan's a lot younger.
9:43
Speaker 1: He's going to be faster. He'll be the better striker
9:45
Speaker 1: at range. more durable, have more knockout power. But if
9:49
Speaker 1: he doesn't knock out court, I don't know how Nolan
9:53
Speaker 1: would make the optimal lineup. So you're really playing for
9:56
Speaker 1: first round knockouts for on the Nolan side, but he's
9:59
Speaker 1: going to be a lot lower on than all those
10:00
Speaker 1: other nine K guys that we're going to get to.
10:02
Speaker 1: So I think he definitely makes sense for ownership reasons,
10:06
Speaker 1: but court shouldn't just stand at range and strike with
10:08
Speaker 1: this guy. He should be pushing a heavy pace. I
10:11
Speaker 1: think he can strike with volume as long as he's
10:14
Speaker 1: getting on the inside. I think he could work takedowns.
10:16
Speaker 1: Nolan was taken down like 17 times in his last
10:19
Speaker 1: UFC fight. So I definitely think Court McGee can go
10:22
Speaker 1: in there and get three to six takedowns. Enough top
10:24
Speaker 1: control time. I think he can work when he's in
10:26
Speaker 1: top control as well. And even at 42 years old,
10:29
Speaker 1: I think he can go a hard 15 minutes, maybe
10:32
Speaker 1: even harder than Eric Nolan. So yeah, give me Court McGee.
10:36
Speaker 1: I'll be overweight to him. And then I'll probably be
10:39
Speaker 1: around the field on Nolan just because I don't want
10:40
Speaker 1: to get burned there. And I think he could be
10:42
Speaker 1: a sneaky way to the optimal lineup if Court just
10:45
Speaker 1: does get knocked out right away.
10:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, plus 235, that's his round one prop.
10:49
Speaker 2: That's 29.9%. He could come in 15% on this card,
10:53
Speaker 2: half of his round one prop. So just that alone,
10:56
Speaker 2: and then, yeah, taking on a guy that's retiring, 41
10:59
Speaker 2: years old, definitely will have the power advantage. I think
11:02
Speaker 2: all of those makes for a strong case to play
11:05
Speaker 2: some Eric Nolan at low ownership as a pivot in
11:07
Speaker 2: the upper tier range. But yeah, I don't think you
11:09
Speaker 2: should plug in Jacoby Smith, take Smith out, go Nolan,
11:12
Speaker 2: and leave 800 in a vacuum. That's not the way
11:14
Speaker 2: I would do it, but. When I'm playing Marcus McGee,
11:17
Speaker 2: when I'm playing the main event, if I'm playing King
11:20
Speaker 2: Green and just getting chalky, chalky, chalky, I think that's
11:23
Speaker 2: where Eric Nolan makes some sense in GPPs. Next fight
11:27
Speaker 2: on the card, mid-tier fights. Ismail Nerdy of minus 135,
11:33
Speaker 2: taking on Marvin Vittori, plus 115. Plus 150 for this
11:36
Speaker 2: fight to finish. Nerdy of plus 250 inside the distance.
11:39
Speaker 2: Vittori plus 400. I'll throw it to you in this one.
11:43
Speaker 2: What do you think in this mid-tier fight?
11:46
Speaker 1: I really just don't like this fight very much. I
11:48
Speaker 1: think if it goes the distance, we're probably not going
11:50
Speaker 1: to have to even worry who wins because I don't
11:52
Speaker 1: think we're going to have a high score on either side.
11:55
Speaker 1: I do think Vittori would be the one that's more
11:57
Speaker 1: likely to strike with high volume and land takedowns. So
12:02
Speaker 1: I ended up picking him as my pick to win
12:04
Speaker 1: just because he was the underdog, and I think those
12:06
Speaker 1: are his paths to victory. But Vittori just looks so washed. uh, Nordiev,
12:11
Speaker 1: I think is the better striker. He does have more power.
12:14
Speaker 1: I think if it's an at range striking match, he
12:16
Speaker 1: probably picks them apart for 15 minutes, but still has
12:19
Speaker 1: to eat volume in the process. And you never know
12:22
Speaker 1: what the judges are going to think, but I just
12:23
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to make the optimal lineup, no
12:25
Speaker 1: matter who gets their hand raised. So what I want
12:27
Speaker 1: to do is just act like this fight isn't there, uh,
12:30
Speaker 1: and hope that the winner scores 70 points in a decision.
12:34
Speaker 1: I was going back and forth on this one, just
12:36
Speaker 1: as my who's going to win the fight. I do
12:38
Speaker 1: think Nordy have deserves to be the favorite at this point. Um,
12:42
Speaker 1: but I just don't trust him enough. And, and if Vittori,
12:45
Speaker 1: I mean, he's only 33 years old. If he can,
12:48
Speaker 1: if he can do what he used to do, he
12:49
Speaker 1: should be able to beat Nordy. He just looks so washed.
12:53
Speaker 2: Like what would you say? Vittori's wrestling prop or his
12:56
Speaker 2: takedown prop? 0.5. Yeah. It's fight. So tough to get to.
13:01
Speaker 2: I mean, The mid-tier is not strong, so I guess
13:05
Speaker 2: that's a case to be made if you want to
13:06
Speaker 2: play it. I'll probably be avoiding a lot of the mid-tier.
13:09
Speaker 2: This fight will be low-owned, but when you dive in, Vittori,
13:13
Speaker 2: his last 10 fights have all gone the distance, and
13:15
Speaker 2: six of those 10 were five-round fights. Nerdyov, his first
13:19
Speaker 2: six UFC fights have all gone the distance. You're getting
13:22
Speaker 2: two guys. I mean, if you watch any Vittori fights,
13:25
Speaker 2: the dude's got a block for a head. It is
13:27
Speaker 2: very hard to knock out Marvin Vittori, so I just
13:30
Speaker 2: think It's hard for me to see this fight being
13:33
Speaker 2: optimal without a finish. It's expected to go the distance.
13:36
Speaker 2: You're parlaying a closely lined fight, which is 8,300, 7,900,
13:42
Speaker 2: the closest line fight. You're parlaying getting the winner right,
13:44
Speaker 2: and it's scoring enough on a 14-fight card to be optimal.
13:48
Speaker 2: I just think that's too many things. So 10 lineups
13:50
Speaker 2: or less, I would have none. The more lineups you get,
13:52
Speaker 2: you can throw it in in contrarian teams, but definitely
13:55
Speaker 2: not my favorite way to get different on this card.
13:58
Speaker 2: One of my least favorite fights. which is definitely Big
14:01
Speaker 2: Marley's one of his least favorite fights, too. He only
14:03
Speaker 2: has two two-star fights, and that is that Vittori one,
14:06
Speaker 2: and that is also this next fight. Alexander Hernandez, minus 285.
14:11
Speaker 2: Rafael Dos Anos plus 234, minus 115 for this fight
14:15
Speaker 2: to finish. Hernandez plus 120 inside the distance. Dos Anos
14:20
Speaker 2: plus 650. Yeah, you have a two-star fight, so do
14:24
Speaker 2: you plan on playing any?
14:27
Speaker 1: No, I really don't want to play this fight either.
14:29
Speaker 1: I think that RDA is probably washed at this point
14:32
Speaker 1: as well. He's pushing 42, but I think skill-wise, I mean,
14:37
Speaker 1: in his prime, Hernandez wouldn't even be able to touch
14:40
Speaker 1: a prime RDA. So I think that if the skills
14:44
Speaker 1: are still there, if RDA doesn't get knocked out, I
14:46
Speaker 1: think he could wrestle with Hernandez. I think he could
14:49
Speaker 1: strike with Hernandez and turn this into a close fight.
14:52
Speaker 1: So he is a live underdog. I have him at
14:55
Speaker 1: three stars for that reason. Just any live underdog I'm
14:58
Speaker 1: willing to play this week. And then Hernandez, $ 9, 100. I
15:01
Speaker 1: just don't think he's going to score much minute to minute.
15:04
Speaker 1: But he does have knockout power if he knocks out
15:07
Speaker 1: RDA in the first round. He could definitely flirt with
15:10
Speaker 1: the optimal lineup. And he's similar to Eric Nolan, where
15:13
Speaker 1: those are the two guys that I think get overlooked
15:16
Speaker 1: and everyone else goes $ 9, 200 and up. So Hernandez first
15:22
Speaker 1: round knockout, Nolan first round knockout. If you have them
15:26
Speaker 1: both in your, on your team, if that happens, you're,
15:28
Speaker 1: you're kind of, you're passing up a lot of the
15:32
Speaker 1: field and just hoping that those other guys don't quite
15:34
Speaker 1: score as much. You're just hoping that the card ends
15:36
Speaker 1: and it's kind of crappy, but I think for ownership reasons,
15:39
Speaker 1: you could play Hernandez, but if you might get a
15:41
Speaker 1: couple lineups, I just want to not play this, this
15:45
Speaker 1: fight and hope that Hernandez wins and score 70 points.
15:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a vacuum, this fight's tougher to get to.
15:51
Speaker 2: I mean, it was minus 255 Hernandez on Tuesday. Now
15:55
Speaker 2: it's minus 285. RDA is my preferred play because we
15:59
Speaker 2: need dogs on this card. And like you said, and
16:01
Speaker 2: if he's not fully, fully washed, like he can wrestle,
16:04
Speaker 2: he can strike. He is not in his proper weight class,
16:07
Speaker 2: but the skills are definitely there. And it's not like
16:09
Speaker 2: Hernandez is a great minute winner. And the same thing. Yeah,
16:13
Speaker 2: I was going to compare Alexander Hernandez and Eric Nolan
16:16
Speaker 2: to round one prop for Hernandez plus 210. That's 32%.
16:21
Speaker 2: He very well could be half of that at 16% owned.
16:24
Speaker 2: So in chalk, your teams, when you're building McGee and
16:26
Speaker 2: the main event and stuff like that, I think Hernandez
16:29
Speaker 2: is a way you can get different. Man, I don't
16:32
Speaker 2: love it though. I initially, when I was writing everything up,
16:35
Speaker 2: I liked Nolan more than Hernandez, but now money's came
16:38
Speaker 2: against Nolan. Hernandez has taken money. It's only a $ 100
16:42
Speaker 2: difference and a slightly better run one prop to Hernandez
16:46
Speaker 2: than Nolan. So I might have to flip that. And
16:49
Speaker 2: slightly prefer Hernandez. But they're very similar plays. Just ways
16:53
Speaker 2: to get different and chalkier teams. Hunting for first round upside.
16:56
Speaker 2: But yeah, we need dogs. 7,100. RDA is my preferred play.
17:02
Speaker 2: Let's get to another mid-tier fight. Heavyweights. Johnny Walker taking
17:07
Speaker 2: on Nick Parkin. Walker minus 125. Parkin plus 105. Minus
17:11
Speaker 2: 160 for this fight to finish. both guys plus one
17:14
Speaker 2: 90 inside the distance on Tuesday minus one 45, Johnny
17:18
Speaker 2: Walker Thursday minus one 25. So parking has taken some
17:22
Speaker 2: money is 600 cheaper. And I see you have more
17:25
Speaker 2: stars on the parking side. So you think he wins?
17:28
Speaker 2: How do you think this fight goes?
17:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am picking parking to win. I just think
17:33
Speaker 1: he could definitely be the better minute winner, really wherever
17:36
Speaker 1: the fight goes. I think he could be the one
17:37
Speaker 1: that dictates where the fight goes. Um, You really got
17:41
Speaker 1: to watch for the explosiveness from Walker. Walker could definitely
17:45
Speaker 1: knock out Parker in any round, but really early in
17:48
Speaker 1: the fight is where it would be most likely. If
17:51
Speaker 1: that happens, he's probably on the optimal lineup. So Walker's
17:54
Speaker 1: definitely in play as well. I just like other favorites more.
17:57
Speaker 1: And on a card where I'm looking for underdogs, Parkin,
18:00
Speaker 1: a guy who I think can win all three rounds.
18:02
Speaker 1: If he wrestles, I think he can win all three
18:05
Speaker 1: rounds clearly because I don't think Walker's going to have
18:07
Speaker 1: anything for him. Coming up to heavyweight as well. And
18:11
Speaker 1: then I think Parkin's the better minute winner on the
18:12
Speaker 1: feet too. I trust him more over 15 minutes than
18:15
Speaker 1: I do Walker. I don't think Parkin is really live
18:18
Speaker 1: that much to knock out Walker or maybe he's live
18:22
Speaker 1: for submission, but I just don't think he's, uh, he
18:24
Speaker 1: has as much finish equity, but he's definitely live to
18:27
Speaker 1: win minutes in this fight. And if he can avoid
18:29
Speaker 1: that early knockout, I think he does win minutes and
18:31
Speaker 1: I like him to get his hand raised. So Parkin,
18:33
Speaker 1: I actually think him and Court McGee might be my
18:36
Speaker 1: only two underdogs I'm picking on the card, but, uh,
18:38
Speaker 1: Those are the two I'll be overweight on for sure,
18:41
Speaker 1: just for that reason.
18:42
Speaker 2: How many wins do you think Parkin gets and isn't optimal?
18:47
Speaker 1: And isn't optimal?
18:50
Speaker 2: Man, I'm worried that this fight is just really boring
18:52
Speaker 2: at distance. Johnny Walker has definitely changed his fighting style.
18:56
Speaker 2: And to be honest, smart of him to do that.
18:59
Speaker 2: It's a bigger cage. And I'm worried that the leg
19:01
Speaker 2: kicks early limit Parkin's movement and then doesn't really force
19:05
Speaker 2: him to shoot. Johnny's not going to over... extend. And
19:08
Speaker 2: then we just get a staring match for 15 minutes,
19:10
Speaker 2: which we've seen Johnny Walker fight. So like, what odds
19:13
Speaker 2: are you putting that at? Or like if Parkin wins
19:16
Speaker 2: a fight like that, it's not going to score enough. Yeah.
19:19
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely think Parkin could win and score
19:21
Speaker 1: 55 points on this card though. I'm still willing to
19:26
Speaker 1: risk it just because I need underdogs on this card.
19:29
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think even if he gets his hand raised,
19:31
Speaker 1: it's definitely not a lock. You're probably not done, but
19:34
Speaker 1: I think he could score anywhere from like 60 to
19:36
Speaker 1: 90 in, On this card, I'm willing to take that
19:39
Speaker 1: range for sure.
19:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, 7,800. I prefer Parkin, too, for that
19:43
Speaker 2: 600 savings. We need dogs on this card. Yeah, both
19:47
Speaker 2: are plus 190 to finish. Like you said, I would
19:49
Speaker 2: think johnny walker would have had a better inside the
19:51
Speaker 2: distance prop as well but they're giving parkin a decent
19:55
Speaker 2: bit of equity for submission plus 600 in this one
19:58
Speaker 2: 14 he gets a submission if he gets a submission
20:01
Speaker 2: he's obviously wrestling which only increases his upside so parkin
20:06
Speaker 2: my preferred play i will play some johnny walker i
20:09
Speaker 2: actually think He got more appealing once Marcus McGee got
20:12
Speaker 2: a new opponent because now McGee's ownership is going to
20:15
Speaker 2: be a lot higher, and that's going to take away
20:17
Speaker 2: from the Walker-Parkin fight, especially on the Walker side. So
20:21
Speaker 2: I don't mind leaving 100 playing Walker over McGee. If
20:24
Speaker 2: he outscores him in a vacuum, that is definitely a
20:26
Speaker 2: way you can get different as well. But the mid-tier
20:29
Speaker 2: is weak. There's three mid-tier fights. It's Marcus McGee, who's
20:32
Speaker 2: clearly the best now as a big favorite. Then it's Walker-Parkin,
20:35
Speaker 2: minus 160 to finish. and then Nerdy of Vittori, which
20:38
Speaker 2: we talked about, which we did not like at all.
20:40
Speaker 2: So there's definitely going to be plenty of lineups where
20:43
Speaker 2: I'm just avoiding that whole mid-tier, and that would be
20:45
Speaker 2: a way to get different. Not playing this fight or
20:48
Speaker 2: Marcus McGee puts you on a different roster construction. So
20:53
Speaker 2: I'm indifferent to this fight. Something's telling me that these
20:56
Speaker 2: two will be staring at each other for 15 minutes,
20:58
Speaker 2: but still favored to finish. They're still big boys, still
21:01
Speaker 2: have good inside-the-distance props, so I can't fully ignore it.
21:06
Speaker 2: Next fight on the card, big favorite, is Anthony Wint,
21:09
Speaker 2: minus 550, taking on Lucas Armand, plus 415, minus 600
21:13
Speaker 2: for this fight to finish. Wint, minus 350 inside the distance. Armand,
21:17
Speaker 2: plus 600. And then in round one, Wint is minus 135.
21:22
Speaker 2: I could argue Wint's the best play on the slate.
21:26
Speaker 2: He's 9,300, so he's not breaking the bank. Three others
21:30
Speaker 2: priced above him. You can plug any of those people
21:33
Speaker 2: above him, including Smith. and drop down to Wint. He's
21:36
Speaker 2: a wrestler. He's expected to finish in round one. Armand's
21:40
Speaker 2: not very good. I would not be surprised in the
21:43
Speaker 2: least if Wint's the highest score on the slate when
21:46
Speaker 2: it's all said and done. So I would have the
21:48
Speaker 2: stars exactly the same as you. But again, Wint could
21:51
Speaker 2: score 115 and still not be optimal. So you can't
21:54
Speaker 2: really lock someone at that price.
21:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's going to be my favorite play on the
21:58
Speaker 1: slate for sure. I think he could win really everywhere. Uh,
22:03
Speaker 1: Armand could knock him out. He could definitely win minutes
22:06
Speaker 1: at range, but when it's super powerful, I think he is, um,
22:10
Speaker 1: going to be a dangerous wrestler. And once he gets takedowns,
22:13
Speaker 1: I think he can grab the back and choke him
22:15
Speaker 1: out as well. So I think he's live for a
22:17
Speaker 1: knockout on the feet, ground and pound on the ground, uh,
22:20
Speaker 1: and a submission. I also think he's live to wrestle
22:23
Speaker 1: for three rounds. I don't know that he would do
22:24
Speaker 1: enough at 9,300 for that to be what we want. Uh,
22:27
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think he finishes this guy. I don't
22:29
Speaker 1: really know that Armand even deserves to be in the UFC, uh,
22:32
Speaker 1: So I won't be playing him. And I'll get as
22:35
Speaker 1: much wint as I can afford. But I just can't
22:38
Speaker 1: be all in because of the range that he's in.
22:40
Speaker 1: I just love that entire range.
22:42
Speaker 2: Totally agree. We see that the same. Let's keep it rolling.
22:46
Speaker 2: Next fight on the card, Marcus McGee, minus 480. Anthony Romero,
22:49
Speaker 2: plus 374. Only prop I'm seeing right now is under 2.5
22:53
Speaker 2: at plus 151. So... What that means is this fight's
22:59
Speaker 2: going to be favored to go the distance. I'm not
23:02
Speaker 2: very familiar with Anthony Romero. Again, this fight was just announced,
23:06
Speaker 2: I want to say yesterday is when Sopai pulled out
23:08
Speaker 2: and then Romero stepped in. He's 7-2, 29 years old. Again,
23:12
Speaker 2: taking the fight on short notice against Marcus McGee. He's well-rounded.
23:17
Speaker 2: He's good on the feet. He has good cardio. He
23:19
Speaker 2: has good training partners. Feels like a pretty uphill battle
23:23
Speaker 2: when it comes to Romero. But with that being said,
23:25
Speaker 2: it's not like Marcus McGee's just known to break slates
23:29
Speaker 2: and score a hundred plus, like he can wrestle, but
23:31
Speaker 2: he wants to prefers to stay on the feet. He
23:34
Speaker 2: doesn't overextend and just like throw every, like all of
23:37
Speaker 2: his power in his shots. So I think there's a
23:40
Speaker 2: path where McGee outs lands on one 30 to 50
23:43
Speaker 2: wins a decision, but still at 8,500 is not optimal.
23:47
Speaker 2: And people are going to see that money line at
23:49
Speaker 2: minus four 80 at 8,500. And like, it's clearly a
23:52
Speaker 2: cash play. He's in play for tournaments and he's solid,
23:55
Speaker 2: but 8,500, you still need to score. Like, 87 might
23:59
Speaker 2: not be enough. So I got to see what projected
24:02
Speaker 2: ownership is going to come in that if it's 40 plus,
24:05
Speaker 2: which I assume it's gonna, maybe I'd just go, I'll
24:07
Speaker 2: go underway to this fight in general. I'm debating playing
24:11
Speaker 2: a little Anthony Romero too, just for this sheer leverage
24:14
Speaker 2: he gets from McGee. And he has somewhat of a floor,
24:17
Speaker 2: I guess, if this fight's not supposed to finish, which
24:19
Speaker 2: it's not 38 and a loss at 6,700, like give
24:23
Speaker 2: me him over a lot of these Bruce Whiteheads, Lucas Armand,
24:30
Speaker 2: Davis and Figueredo, like these dudes probably aren't going to
24:32
Speaker 2: score anything. So, yeah, I'm really curious to hear your
24:35
Speaker 2: take on this. I haven't done enough digging in on Romero,
24:38
Speaker 2: but I don't love McGee at probably what's going to
24:40
Speaker 2: be ownership. And that price tag from Romero and the leverage,
24:44
Speaker 2: I guess, has me considering it a bit.
24:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't hate the idea of using
24:50
Speaker 1: Romero just for that reason. If he does win, nobody's
24:53
Speaker 1: going to be on him and you're going to kill
24:55
Speaker 1: off the highest owned guy on the entire card. Um,
24:59
Speaker 1: so if I was playing multiple lineups, if I was
25:01
Speaker 1: doing like 20 or more, I'd be interested in a
25:04
Speaker 1: little bit of Romero. Uh, but I think the way
25:06
Speaker 1: I would just rather go is hope that McGee is
25:08
Speaker 1: 50% owned and just not use them and hope that
25:11
Speaker 1: he does score under 10 X. Uh, he scored 61
25:14
Speaker 1: and 71 in his two decision wins in the UFC.
25:21
Speaker 1: Neither of those are going to cut it at $ 8, 500
25:23
Speaker 1: and especially at, at 50% ownership or whatever he might
25:27
Speaker 1: be on this card. And I think Romero had some
25:29
Speaker 1: pretty good hands. I liked his striking. I think he
25:32
Speaker 1: can hang on the feet. I think his best chance
25:35
Speaker 1: to win would be to hurt McGee and then just
25:37
Speaker 1: put on the pressure, get the TKO. But after the
25:41
Speaker 1: first round, especially taking this fight on three days notice,
25:44
Speaker 1: McGee is just too well-rounded, too much of an experienced vet.
25:48
Speaker 1: Fought the highest competition where this is going to be
25:50
Speaker 1: Romero's toughest fight to date by far. I just think
25:53
Speaker 1: over three rounds, McGee will be too much for him
25:56
Speaker 1: and he'll probably get two or three of those rounds
25:59
Speaker 1: from the judges. I just don't know that that's going
26:01
Speaker 1: to cut it, especially if he's not looking to wrestle much.
26:04
Speaker 1: And he's not a guy that I really look at
26:07
Speaker 1: as a high-paced wrestler. He might land one or two,
26:11
Speaker 1: maybe three in this fight. I just don't think he's
26:13
Speaker 1: going to keep going for it, especially if he's doing
26:16
Speaker 1: well on the feet. So I'm definitely fine using McGee
26:19
Speaker 1: because of all that value. But at the same time,
26:21
Speaker 1: the entire field is going to do it as well.
26:23
Speaker 1: So my favorite way, if I'm making one lineup, is
26:25
Speaker 1: just to not use this fight And I hope he wins,
26:28
Speaker 1: scores 70 points.
26:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, we see it similar. I'll be waiting for inside
26:32
Speaker 2: the distance props and round one props. But I doubt
26:35
Speaker 2: that really changes my opinion too much. And it's not
26:37
Speaker 2: going to change the fields. They're going to play an $ 8, 500
26:41
Speaker 2: fighter that's minus 480 on this card. There's no doubt
26:44
Speaker 2: about that. So probably underweight in tournaments, 14 fights. We
26:47
Speaker 2: still need upside. And I think there is upside in
26:50
Speaker 2: that mid-tier. Natalia Silva is only 200 more. Gadier is
26:52
Speaker 2: only 300 more. Rodriguez is only 100 more. We talked
26:57
Speaker 2: about the Walker-Parkin fight expected to finish. There's definitely outs
27:01
Speaker 2: where McGee scores 80 and is nowhere near the optimal.
27:05
Speaker 2: All right, again, appreciate everyone hanging out pretty much halfway
27:09
Speaker 2: through the fights. All we ask is the like button
27:12
Speaker 2: and subscribe button. It helps us out a ton. And
27:15
Speaker 2: it's a 4 p.m. Eastern start time in Salt Lake
27:19
Speaker 2: this week, so I didn't mention that from the top.
27:23
Speaker 2: All right, next fight on the card. Damien Pinas, minus 575.
27:27
Speaker 2: Andre Pouli of plus 431. Minus, let me see if
27:32
Speaker 2: this actually loads quick. Come on, fight odds. Minus 350
27:38
Speaker 2: for this fight to finish. Pinas, minus 245 inside the distance.
27:42
Speaker 2: Pouli of plus 675. Pinas in round one, plus 115.
27:48
Speaker 2: He's definitely taking money. He was plus 125 in round
27:51
Speaker 2: one at open, now plus 115. He was minus 225
27:54
Speaker 2: inside the distance, now minus 245. This fight was minus
27:58
Speaker 2: 325 to finish, now minus 350. But Pulyev took a
28:03
Speaker 2: little money since open. Pinas opened minus 800, and then
28:07
Speaker 2: 30 minutes later was minus 500. And the line has
28:10
Speaker 2: stayed around there since then. So, I mean, this Pinas dude,
28:14
Speaker 2: all of his wins in round one, he absolutely has dynamite.
28:18
Speaker 2: in his hands, and Pulyaev is never someone that I
28:20
Speaker 2: look to play. 10-5 is a pro. The dude runs
28:23
Speaker 2: around the cage. I don't think Pinas is going to
28:25
Speaker 2: worry about any power coming his way, so I think
28:28
Speaker 2: he just stalks him and puts him out cold. He'll
28:32
Speaker 2: just probably want it to be in round one at
28:33
Speaker 2: this price, so that's how I see it.
28:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we're turning knockouts off, then Pulyaev has a chance.
28:40
Speaker 1: I think he could strike with Pinas for 15 minutes.
28:44
Speaker 1: Maybe he can even tire him out, get a late knockout,
28:46
Speaker 1: something like that. But Pinas just has crazy explosiveness and power,
28:51
Speaker 1: and I think he is going to be hunting for
28:53
Speaker 1: that early knockout. It's going to be hard for Puliaev
28:57
Speaker 1: to avoid it. I like Pinas to get that knockout.
29:01
Speaker 1: It's just when you're playing in the range that he's
29:03
Speaker 1: playing with, I would rather have Wendt for 100 less.
29:06
Speaker 1: If I can afford both, then great, let me just
29:08
Speaker 1: do that. But there's also other guys that I want
29:11
Speaker 1: in that range too, so I just got to spread
29:13
Speaker 1: out my 9K ownership. I'll get some Pinas, but since
29:17
Speaker 1: I like Wint more, I put this as a four-star
29:20
Speaker 1: rather than a five, but I do like him to
29:22
Speaker 1: get a first-round knockout.
29:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say, we always talk about leaving money
29:27
Speaker 2: and leaving 100 in this. I actually think more lineups
29:30
Speaker 2: that have Pinas and leave $ 0 will be less duped
29:34
Speaker 2: than Wint leaving 100. I do think Wint will be
29:37
Speaker 2: a decent bit higher on than Pinas. I think that is...
29:40
Speaker 2: the correct call because he's a little higher or pretty
29:43
Speaker 2: much the same money line, but better inside the distance.
29:46
Speaker 2: He has wrestling upside, but I do not mind if
29:50
Speaker 2: you play Pinas over Wint and leave the $ 0. What
29:56
Speaker 2: do we got? Some fights announced. Mel Costager, Gordon, Sanchez, Elder, Moreno,
30:03
Speaker 2: Charles Johnson. I mean, these kind of look like cheeks.
30:05
Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie. What are we doing? Speaking
30:10
Speaker 2: of something that wasn't cheeks, I wanted to ask you
30:12
Speaker 2: from the top. Man, what a freaking main event we
30:14
Speaker 2: had last week. Super scary in how it ended. But
30:18
Speaker 2: before that, man, Hyoni, what a fucking monster. And I
30:22
Speaker 2: will say, Raul Rosas and all that stuff that happened
30:25
Speaker 2: in round five, I almost bet Rosas. I didn't think
30:28
Speaker 2: the number was right going into the fifth at plus 650.
30:31
Speaker 2: You could tell that second win and something just clicked.
30:34
Speaker 2: The dude had like all the cardio in the world
30:37
Speaker 2: in round five, jumping up and down and just fucking
30:41
Speaker 2: guns blazing, knew he needed the finish. And again, I
30:43
Speaker 2: know how it ended. There was still a lot of
30:45
Speaker 2: time in that fight though. And Rosas was putting on
30:48
Speaker 2: a pace in that fifth round. So props to him.
30:51
Speaker 2: I know he's going to get shit on a lot.
30:52
Speaker 2: He could have handled this stuff after better, but I
30:55
Speaker 2: only a lot older. was in a war and winning
30:57
Speaker 2: that fight clearly, but it is a five round fight,
31:00
Speaker 2: 25 minutes. And he came out in round five and
31:03
Speaker 2: he absolutely put it on Ioni. So I, what a,
31:05
Speaker 2: what a sick, sick fight from those two. Yeah. Anything
31:09
Speaker 2: you want to say about that card or that fight? Yeah.
31:12
Speaker 1: Epic main event. Definitely stock up for Raul Rosas. I mean,
31:19
Speaker 1: Raoni is just a different beast. I thought he was
31:22
Speaker 1: winning the fight. I was, it was going to be
31:23
Speaker 1: a really good night for me if Raoni got his
31:25
Speaker 1: hand raised. I still ended up breaking even on DFS
31:30
Speaker 1: with the loss, basically all in on Raoni having no Rosas.
31:35
Speaker 1: But it could have been a good night for me.
31:37
Speaker 1: And I thought Raoni was winning, but it was not
31:40
Speaker 1: what I expected at all from the Raul Rosas side.
31:43
Speaker 1: I was expecting wrestle or bust from him. And I
31:46
Speaker 1: thought his striking looked really good. I thought his cardio
31:48
Speaker 1: looked really good. His pace looked great. So, yeah, the
31:52
Speaker 1: sky's the limit for Raul Rosas.
31:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that left hand, he's clearly worked on
31:57
Speaker 2: his striking. The toughness he has, durability right now. Cardio
32:01
Speaker 2: was there. Hyoni's a fucking monster. So I hope everything's
32:05
Speaker 2: well with him. Hopefully we never see him fight again
32:07
Speaker 2: after that. There's no reason to risk that at that age.
32:09
Speaker 2: But what a sick main event.
32:11
Speaker 1: That was terrifying. Scary. Super scary. Glad he's all right now.
32:15
Speaker 2: For sure. All right, let's keep it rolling. Next fight
32:17
Speaker 2: on the card. Amano Rodriguez taking on Alden Correa. Rodriguez
32:23
Speaker 2: minus 147. Correa plus 127. Minus 105 for this fight
32:27
Speaker 2: to finish. Rodriguez plus 160 inside the distance. Correa plus 450.
32:34
Speaker 2: Interesting fight. I see you have it a four star
32:37
Speaker 2: and four stars on the Rodriguez side. So what do
32:39
Speaker 2: you see?
32:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's kind of like power versus technique.
32:44
Speaker 1: I do like Correa's striking at range. I think he's
32:47
Speaker 1: the more technical guy. I think he can keep kind
32:49
Speaker 1: of the same pace over the course of three rounds.
32:52
Speaker 1: And he's live for a decision in this one. He's
32:55
Speaker 1: also live to knock out Rodriguez just because of Rodriguez's aggressiveness.
33:00
Speaker 1: But Rodriguez is going to be the aggressor, going to
33:03
Speaker 1: be the guy with a lot more power trying to
33:05
Speaker 1: kill Correa. I think he will have more damage throughout
33:08
Speaker 1: the fight. I actually think he's probably more alive to
33:11
Speaker 1: land takedowns as well. So I am picking Rodriguez to win.
33:15
Speaker 1: He's my preferred choice of the two. I think he's
33:17
Speaker 1: the guy with the ceiling with more first-round knockout equity.
33:21
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how I'm playing this fight is
33:24
Speaker 1: I'm targeting his first-round knockout equity or I'm targeting Correa
33:28
Speaker 1: as a live dog if I'm using either side. Or
33:32
Speaker 1: it's a four-star fight because I could definitely see either
33:35
Speaker 1: one of them just not making the optimal lineup. in
33:37
Speaker 1: a decision, and I think a decision is pretty dang likely.
33:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's minus 125 to go the distance, so slightly
33:44
Speaker 2: favored to go that way. I probably would have this
33:47
Speaker 2: fight a four-star too. A, I don't think ownership is
33:49
Speaker 2: going to be there too much. On the Correa side,
33:52
Speaker 2: as you can see, on Tuesday he was plus 149.
33:56
Speaker 2: Now he is plus 125, so he's taking over 20 cents.
33:59
Speaker 2: And a plus 125 underdog at 7,600 is a very
34:03
Speaker 2: good money line for his price. With Rodriguez, that usually
34:06
Speaker 2: pushes the pace. So that all benefits Correa. And on
34:09
Speaker 2: the Rodriguez side, I mean, he has to be low-owned.
34:12
Speaker 2: Silva in the main event, 100 more. And now Marcus McGee,
34:15
Speaker 2: 100 less as a big favorite. I think the McGee
34:19
Speaker 2: replacement fight only boosted my interest in Rodriguez because I
34:23
Speaker 2: think a lot of that ownership goes from Rodriguez to McGee.
34:26
Speaker 2: He's still plus 160 to finish. He's finished all seven
34:30
Speaker 2: of his fights. And his round one prop is solid
34:33
Speaker 2: at plus 350, so... I think he has the finishing upside,
34:37
Speaker 2: like you mentioned. Not a good money line, which is
34:40
Speaker 2: going to keep his ownership down, but we're hunting for upside,
34:43
Speaker 2: and he is aggressive. So Correa, due to the money
34:46
Speaker 2: line and the price, Rodriguez, due to the range and
34:49
Speaker 2: his inside-the-distance prop, is going to leave me probably overweight
34:52
Speaker 2: on this fight that I do not expect to get
34:54
Speaker 2: too much. All right, let's keep it rolling. Five fights left. Atiba, Gadier.
35:01
Speaker 2: Ticking on Roman Kopulov. Minus 260 is Gaudier. Plus 215
35:05
Speaker 2: is Kopulov. Minus 190 for this fight to finish. Gaudier
35:08
Speaker 2: minus 105 inside the distance. Kopulov plus 350. I'm not
35:13
Speaker 2: going to lie. I was a little surprised to see
35:15
Speaker 2: this line. I guess see it continue to increase. It
35:18
Speaker 2: was minus 210. Let's see it. Open minus 325. Shortly
35:22
Speaker 2: after was already minus 190. And then on Tuesday, it
35:27
Speaker 2: was minus 210 Gaudier. And now it's minus 260. Line's
35:31
Speaker 2: going against me. I think Kapilov is a monster on
35:33
Speaker 2: the feet, so I think it's competitive there. And I
35:36
Speaker 2: think if someone wrestles, I think it's Kapilov, who has
35:39
Speaker 2: shown willingness to wrestle as of late. So $ 1, 400 cheaper,
35:44
Speaker 2: has the wrestling advantage, probably a little striking disadvantage, but
35:48
Speaker 2: Kapilov's still a monster on the feet. I prefer the
35:51
Speaker 2: underdog in this one, especially when we're hunting for underdogs.
35:54
Speaker 2: With that being said, though, Gaudier, $ 8, 800. I don't think
35:58
Speaker 2: he's going to break. Like ownership, I think it's going
36:01
Speaker 2: to be in check with Natalia Silva, with Marcus McGee,
36:04
Speaker 2: with those 9K people, Esteban Rebovics. So he also might
36:08
Speaker 2: be a pivot. Big, scary dude, plus 250 in round one. 28.6%,
36:12
Speaker 2: his ownership probably doesn't get that high. So I guess
36:17
Speaker 2: a fight I want to be overweight on. I like
36:19
Speaker 2: Kapilov more earlier in the week. Still probably prefer him,
36:22
Speaker 2: but seeing the line movement on Gadier and the ownership
36:26
Speaker 2: leads me to probably another overweight fight.
36:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm cool with either side of this fight. It's
36:31
Speaker 1: similar to the last one where it's like power versus skill.
36:35
Speaker 1: Kapilov is going to be the highest level striker that
36:38
Speaker 1: Atiba has ever faced. But at the same time, Atiba
36:43
Speaker 1: is going to be the most powerful striker that Kapilov
36:45
Speaker 1: has ever faced. And he might not even get a
36:47
Speaker 1: show off his skills because he might get knocked out
36:49
Speaker 1: right away. But if he doesn't get knocked out, I
36:52
Speaker 1: think that the kickboxing from Kapilov, and I do think
36:55
Speaker 1: you're right, he's more likely to mix in takedowns. I
36:58
Speaker 1: think he would be our more likely minute winner over
37:00
Speaker 1: the course of 15 minutes. So you could play copy
37:03
Speaker 1: love as a live dog who could win, um, striking
37:07
Speaker 1: over 15 and mix in a takedown or two, or
37:10
Speaker 1: you can play a Tiba and hope he gets that
37:12
Speaker 1: first round knockout scores a hundred plus and beats the, uh,
37:16
Speaker 1: the nine K guys that at lower ownership. Um, I'm
37:21
Speaker 1: fine playing it for either reason. I mean, either of
37:24
Speaker 1: those reasons. And then it's again, a four star, because if,
37:28
Speaker 1: a Tiba wins a decision, $ 8, 800 is just going to
37:31
Speaker 1: price him out of the optimal lineup. So I don't
37:34
Speaker 1: want to be all in on this fight for that reason.
37:36
Speaker 1: I also think copy live could win a boring striking
37:39
Speaker 1: based decision and not score well. Uh, but I do
37:43
Speaker 1: think this, this could be fun fight either way. I
37:45
Speaker 1: do like it. And I probably like it a little
37:47
Speaker 1: bit more than the last fight, just because these, these
37:50
Speaker 1: guys are bigger boys.
37:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. I agree with that.
37:54
Speaker 1: One more thing. Well, I also like, uh, When I'm
37:56
Speaker 1: having trouble, I like all the guys, 9,200 and more.
38:00
Speaker 1: I don't know who I like that much more than
38:01
Speaker 1: the other. I like to build lineups. How about if
38:04
Speaker 1: I can't even afford 9,200, let me go with Hernandez, Nolan, Atiba,
38:11
Speaker 1: and Rodriguez.
38:12
Speaker 2: Natalia Silva. Something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. Esteban Ribavix.
38:17
Speaker 2: As good as that 9K is, that high up 8K
38:20
Speaker 2: range is also very strong too. And I think that's
38:23
Speaker 2: going to be pretty contrarian if you go that route.
38:26
Speaker 2: yes and no. Like if you then go plug in
38:28
Speaker 2: Marcus McGee and then like King Green, that's not necessarily different,
38:32
Speaker 2: but because the mid tier is weak, if you're playing
38:35
Speaker 2: not like anyone above 9,300 or 93 and above, and
38:39
Speaker 2: you're fading Marcus McGee, that is a roster construction. You
38:42
Speaker 2: can get different as well. So I don't hate it.
38:45
Speaker 2: These guys have upside in the high AKs for sure. Atiba,
38:49
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say as much upside as anyone,
38:50
Speaker 2: but I mean, the 60 second bonus is always in play.
38:53
Speaker 2: Anytime he fights, he's a scary, scary dude. So, Definitely
38:56
Speaker 2: have some interest at 8,800. And I do prefer this
38:58
Speaker 2: fight to the last fight, like you mentioned. Mainly minus
39:02
Speaker 2: 105 to finish versus minus 190 is a pretty big gap.
39:07
Speaker 2: Four fights left. Five-star fight. Big Marley's second five-star fight
39:11
Speaker 2: on this card. That is Roberto Soldich minus 265. Chaos
39:15
Speaker 2: Williams plus 219. Minus 400 for this fight to finish.
39:19
Speaker 2: Soldich minus 210 inside the distance. Chaos plus 200. 400.
39:23
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see Solvich make his UFC debut. This
39:26
Speaker 2: dude looks good. He looks powerful. He went one against
39:30
Speaker 2: Drikus in 2018, which you like to see. Again, that
39:34
Speaker 2: was a while ago, but Chaos is always known for
39:37
Speaker 2: his power. Now he welcomes another very powerful hitter into
39:40
Speaker 2: the UFC in Solvich. I mean, I like Solvich. I
39:43
Speaker 2: think I'm going to play a ton at 9,200, but
39:45
Speaker 2: do not leave out Chaos Williams from your pool. If
39:48
Speaker 2: he wins... He's probably going to knock him out unconscious,
39:51
Speaker 2: and that goes a long way at 7K. So I'm
39:54
Speaker 2: going to be overweight this fight. Don't even know if
39:56
Speaker 2: I have a preferred play. I mean, Solich I think wins,
39:59
Speaker 2: so probably him. But when Chaos wins, I think a
40:02
Speaker 2: good amount of the field go down and his ownership's low.
40:04
Speaker 2: But that's probably the game theory play if you're only
40:07
Speaker 2: choosing one, like playing one lineup. So how do you
40:10
Speaker 2: see it?
40:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, well said. I just think someone's going to get
40:14
Speaker 1: knocked out in this fight. Both guys have big-time power.
40:18
Speaker 1: Both of them can have big-time aggression as well. They
40:20
Speaker 1: might just blitz and fight in a phone booth here,
40:23
Speaker 1: and one guy drops. I do like Soldich to be
40:26
Speaker 1: the more skilled fighter, though, really everywhere. So I'm picking
40:30
Speaker 1: him to win. I think the UFC wants him to
40:32
Speaker 1: win as well. So he's my preferred play of the two.
40:36
Speaker 1: But I really love his range, and I don't love
40:39
Speaker 1: Chaos' range. So I do think Chaos makes a lot
40:42
Speaker 1: of sense here. Game theory wise. And it also helps
40:45
Speaker 1: you get to the other people in the Soldich's range
40:48
Speaker 1: who I like as well. So maybe that will lead
40:51
Speaker 1: me to more chaos than I really thought it would.
40:54
Speaker 1: But if I'm making one lineup, I figured I would
40:56
Speaker 1: be starting with Soldich kind of seeing where it goes.
40:59
Speaker 1: But maybe I should be starting with chaos and seeing
41:02
Speaker 1: where it goes. We'll see. Once I do my lineups,
41:04
Speaker 1: I might change up the stars. But I think Soldich
41:06
Speaker 1: knocks them out probably in the first round.
41:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Solich probably knocks him out too. But
41:10
Speaker 2: like you said, when you're playing Soldich right away, it's
41:13
Speaker 2: hard to play Pinas, Wint, Silva, Jacoby Smith, like all
41:18
Speaker 2: those guys that we've already talked about in the upper tier.
41:21
Speaker 2: You've got to make sacrifices, whereas it's easier with Chaos.
41:25
Speaker 2: So it's a good fight to target, no doubt about that.
41:27
Speaker 2: Minus 400 to finish, comes in as third best on
41:31
Speaker 2: the slate. And Anthony Wint, Jacoby Smith, two huge favorites there.
41:35
Speaker 2: are the best. So I think this is one of
41:37
Speaker 2: the best fights to target on both sides. And even
41:39
Speaker 2: Soldich doesn't break the bank. He could outscore Jacoby Smith
41:43
Speaker 2: in a vacuum. Not saying I think you need to
41:45
Speaker 2: leave the 600, but it is viable since he does
41:48
Speaker 2: have that upside. Let me see actually quick what Soldich
41:52
Speaker 2: in round one was. I know it was good. Shoot,
41:55
Speaker 2: that was Rebovix. I was already on to the next one.
41:58
Speaker 2: Soldich round one plus 170. Opened plus 180 so i
42:05
Speaker 2: mean that's pretty good plus 170 is 37 probably about
42:09
Speaker 2: where his ownership's at i like it but it is
42:12
Speaker 2: not gonna i don't expect either to wrestle so if
42:15
Speaker 2: this fight does get to the third round probably ggs
42:18
Speaker 2: unless chaos does win all right three fights left again
42:23
Speaker 2: appreciate everyone hanging out many watching on playback for watching
42:26
Speaker 2: live too we appreciate you Hope you have some fun
42:29
Speaker 2: plans for the weekend. A lot of sports going on.
42:32
Speaker 2: MLB playoffs, college football, MMA, NASCAR, NFL, PGA Showdown. Great
42:37
Speaker 2: time to be a sports fan. NHL, didn't even mention that,
42:40
Speaker 2: which started two days ago. We have you covered for
42:42
Speaker 2: all the sports above. Again, all access. You can get
42:45
Speaker 2: in for monthly, for annual, different packages there. Five days
42:48
Speaker 2: for $ 19 if you want to try us out. Or
42:51
Speaker 2: we do have single sport packages as well for MMA. Alright,
42:56
Speaker 2: I agree with what T-Bird said in the beginning. Bobby,
42:59
Speaker 2: the people's main event. This is my main event. Esteban Rebovics,
43:02
Speaker 2: King Green, minus 240 Rebovics, plus 200 King Green, minus
43:07
Speaker 2: 180 for this fight to finish. Rebovics minus 140 inside
43:10
Speaker 2: the distance. King Green plus 550. Rebovics in round one,
43:15
Speaker 2: plus 250. I think when it's all said and done,
43:18
Speaker 2: you will see King Green as one of the highest
43:20
Speaker 2: owned lower tier fighters. And I mean, I can't blame
43:24
Speaker 2: anyone for doing that. Plus, 200 isn't bad. He throws
43:27
Speaker 2: a lot of volume. So does Reba Vicks. Maybe King
43:31
Speaker 2: Green mixes in takedowns. I don't know how much he would,
43:34
Speaker 2: but I think it'd be smart to try and mix
43:35
Speaker 2: it in. But regardless, the dude is always game. He's
43:40
Speaker 2: had big wins. Zellhuber, he was a bigger dog than
43:43
Speaker 2: this and absolutely broke the slate. So King Green's always
43:46
Speaker 2: alive to do that. With that being said, though, man,
43:49
Speaker 2: I think Reba Vicks, 10 years younger, I don't even
43:52
Speaker 2: necessarily know. I feel like Rebovics is bigger than King Green,
43:55
Speaker 2: even though the reach and the height don't say it.
43:57
Speaker 2: But I think he's faster. I think he hits harder.
44:00
Speaker 2: I think he's more durable. I think it's just his
44:02
Speaker 2: time 10 years younger. So I think Rebovics knocks him
44:05
Speaker 2: out when it's all said and done. But yeah, he's $ 1, 600
44:09
Speaker 2: more in a loaded range, which will keep his ownership
44:12
Speaker 2: in check, which I like to see. But yeah, I
44:14
Speaker 2: love this fight, real life and DFS.
44:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, great fight. It's going to be the highest paced
44:19
Speaker 1: fight on the card from really both sides. If Green wins,
44:24
Speaker 1: I think he's a lock for the optimal lineup. I
44:26
Speaker 1: would imagine he's scoring 90 plus points in any win.
44:31
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that Rubavik is just going to
44:33
Speaker 1: be too much for him. I think that he's a
44:35
Speaker 1: guy who can match the pace from Bobby or even
44:39
Speaker 1: pick it up. And I think at this point, he's
44:41
Speaker 1: probably more powerful, more durable. I like him to be
44:44
Speaker 1: able to keep up that pace for an entire 15
44:47
Speaker 1: minutes as well. But I think at some point those
44:50
Speaker 1: shots add up, and I think he does knock out
44:52
Speaker 1: Bobby Green. So I like this fight, both sides of it.
44:56
Speaker 1: I even thought about making it a five-star. I think
44:58
Speaker 1: it's right there between four and five. I'll be pretty
45:01
Speaker 1: heavy both sides of it. But, yeah, if Green's going
45:04
Speaker 1: to be one of the most chalky underdogs, maybe that
45:06
Speaker 1: makes me like him less and Ribovic more, since I
45:10
Speaker 1: am picking Ribovic to win.
45:12
Speaker 2: You did say, though, what you think 95% of King
45:15
Speaker 2: Green's wins are optimal, though, at this price?
45:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, 14 fights, probably not 100%, but I'd
45:23
Speaker 1: say pretty close to 100%.
45:25
Speaker 2: So when you put it that way, even if King
45:28
Speaker 2: Green's 28, 30%, like he's plus 200 on the money line,
45:30
Speaker 2: that's 33.3%. That kind of shows pretty efficient. If he
45:35
Speaker 2: does win 33% of the time and what, 30% of
45:38
Speaker 2: those are optimal, maybe that's chalk you want to get to.
45:41
Speaker 2: And I mean, It's making me think more and more like, yeah,
45:44
Speaker 2: you know what? On a card like this with 14 fights,
45:47
Speaker 2: with a fadable main event, with a fadable Marcus McGee chalk,
45:51
Speaker 2: I think there's plenty of ways you can get different
45:53
Speaker 2: where you can plug in chalk, King Green, to start
45:55
Speaker 2: your lineups if that's what you want. Even eat another
45:58
Speaker 2: chalk piece or two in it and then get different
46:00
Speaker 2: with the remaining stuff. So, yeah, I'm fine eating chalk
46:04
Speaker 2: pretty much any fight. If you like someone enough, you
46:07
Speaker 2: can get overweight on them and then figure out roster
46:09
Speaker 2: construction-wise what's not to hold hands with so many people
46:12
Speaker 2: up top. So I'm going to have a lot of
46:14
Speaker 2: King Green, even though he will be chalky. But I
46:17
Speaker 2: also want a good amount of Rebovics and probably more
46:19
Speaker 2: overweight to the field on Rebovics, since he is some
46:21
Speaker 2: leverage off of King Green as well at high ownership.
46:26
Speaker 2: All right, co-main event time. The second highest price fighter
46:29
Speaker 2: and the second biggest favorite, Peyton Talbot, minus 750. Davison Figueredo,
46:33
Speaker 2: plus 540. Minus 160 for this fight to finish. Talbot
46:37
Speaker 2: minus 145 inside the distance. Figge plus 925. Talbot in
46:42
Speaker 2: round one plus 250. I'm kind of torn on this one, man.
46:47
Speaker 2: Like I can't X Talbot out of the pool because
46:49
Speaker 2: he does have like a 135 piece in his bag.
46:52
Speaker 2: I mean, if Figge, Figge, the problem with him is
46:55
Speaker 2: he's so boring nowadays and doesn't push any pace. But
46:58
Speaker 2: Talbot on the opposite side is the opposite of boring.
47:01
Speaker 2: Like he might just not care about Figge's power. Just
47:04
Speaker 2: walk him down. jab them to death, Nixon takedowns, get
47:07
Speaker 2: a knockdown here, a knockdown there. It's really tough clicking
47:11
Speaker 2: that name at 9,600 when Jacoby Smith's 98, when Wint's 93,
47:16
Speaker 2: when Pinas is 9,400, all these guys, Solvich, whatever, 92.
47:22
Speaker 2: But that being said, he's still favored to finish. He's
47:25
Speaker 2: only taking money as the week has gone on. He's
47:27
Speaker 2: high volume. There's paths that Figge's tough enough where he
47:31
Speaker 2: gets up after he continued to get knocked down where,
47:33
Speaker 2: you see a big boy number. So really just in
47:36
Speaker 2: chalkier lineups for me where I'll play Talbot, but Talbot
47:39
Speaker 2: might be 15% owned or something like that. And if
47:43
Speaker 2: that's the case, I think he probably has a little
47:45
Speaker 2: more chance at the optimal than 15%, but I don't know.
47:49
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm going crazy just trying to get contrarian. 9,600
47:51
Speaker 2: is a big boy price. I'm curious to hear your
47:54
Speaker 2: take on this one.
47:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely like Talbot. I mean, $ 9, 600, he's got
48:00
Speaker 1: the volume to be able to score 110 plus in
48:03
Speaker 1: a decision as a majority striker. So I do like him. Um,
48:08
Speaker 1: he's just in that range where I like all the guys.
48:11
Speaker 1: So if I can't afford them, then I have no
48:13
Speaker 1: issue going to one of those guys under him, like
48:15
Speaker 1: a penis or went, uh, or sold itch. So that's really,
48:19
Speaker 1: what's going to keep me from getting too much Talbot
48:22
Speaker 1: is just not being able to afford him. Also liking
48:25
Speaker 1: guys that are cheaper. But this is one fight where
48:28
Speaker 1: I only like one side of it. I think it's
48:31
Speaker 1: all Peyton Talbot. I don't know that Figge has any
48:33
Speaker 1: edge in this fight. He's going to need a flash
48:35
Speaker 1: knockout or a flash submission to get the job done.
48:39
Speaker 1: I would just bank on that not happening. I think
48:42
Speaker 1: he gets dominated from start to finish. And I don't
48:44
Speaker 1: know when that finish is going to come, but I
48:46
Speaker 1: think it could be any round. And if it doesn't,
48:49
Speaker 1: I think he can still flirt with 110, 120 points.
48:54
Speaker 1: So I'm definitely cool with Talbot, and I'd be fine
48:58
Speaker 1: if I made lineups. If I made 150 and he
49:01
Speaker 1: gave me like 35%, 40% Talbot, I think I'd be
49:04
Speaker 1: cool with that as long as I liked everything else.
49:06
Speaker 2: That'd be well over the field for sure. And like
49:09
Speaker 2: you said, it's harder to get to him when Wins
49:11
Speaker 2: and Solvich and Pinas are all less than him, but
49:14
Speaker 2: the whole field's going to see the same exact thing.
49:16
Speaker 2: That's why you're going to see Talbot lower own than
49:18
Speaker 2: all three of those guys that we just mentioned. So yeah,
49:21
Speaker 2: I have interest in low on Talbot as a way
49:23
Speaker 2: to get different. All right. Main event time. What's up? Uh, Laris,
49:29
Speaker 2: he thinks Silva and Wang are going to go the distance,
49:33
Speaker 2: and that is what is projected on this. So we
49:35
Speaker 2: have Silva minus 205, Wang Kong plus 173, and this
49:39
Speaker 2: fight's minus 260 to go the distance, plus 200 to finish.
49:43
Speaker 2: Silva plus 300 inside the distance, Wang plus 550. I'll
49:49
Speaker 2: let you start this one, man. Like, how much is
49:51
Speaker 2: Silva going to wrestle? Is it going to be a
49:53
Speaker 2: striking match for 25 minutes? If it is, can... I mean,
49:57
Speaker 2: Wang throws volume. Like, can we get 170 significant strikes
50:01
Speaker 2: on either side? This one's really tough for me to
50:04
Speaker 2: see how it plays out. And Nick, I could see
50:07
Speaker 2: this fight happening 10 times and five times it plays
50:09
Speaker 2: out fun and five it plays out really boring. I'm
50:12
Speaker 2: all ears when it comes to this one.
50:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just changed it, my stars on this one,
50:18
Speaker 1: to a two-star overall. And then two stars on Silva,
50:23
Speaker 1: four stars on Wang. Just because I think any wing
50:28
Speaker 1: when is going to compete with the optimal could even
50:30
Speaker 1: be a lock for the optimal. I think she has
50:33
Speaker 1: power on the feet, more power than Silva. I think
50:36
Speaker 1: she's the better boxer, just the better hands in general.
50:39
Speaker 1: And the striking could really be close. It's her hands
50:42
Speaker 1: versus Silva's speed and movement and kicks. I think the
50:47
Speaker 1: striking could really go either way. Silva could mix in takedowns.
50:51
Speaker 1: I think she would be the better grappler of the
50:53
Speaker 1: two and it would be smart of her to do that.
50:55
Speaker 1: But I just, I mean, almost all of her wins
50:57
Speaker 1: aren't going to cut it at $ 8, 700. I was thinking
51:01
Speaker 1: maybe you can use Silva as a way to get different,
51:03
Speaker 1: but are you really getting different in a main event fighter?
51:06
Speaker 1: I just don't think so. So I'm not going to
51:08
Speaker 1: play any Silva unless it was, you know, that was,
51:14
Speaker 1: I just don't think I'm going to play any Silva actually.
51:16
Speaker 1: Let me just X her out and focus on these
51:19
Speaker 1: other fights instead and just kind of hope that she
51:22
Speaker 1: wins and doesn't score enough. And that's why I have
51:24
Speaker 1: it as a two star overall. But Kong is somebody
51:27
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going to X out. I think she's
51:29
Speaker 1: as alive as any other dog on this card. And
51:34
Speaker 1: she could knock her out in the first round, too.
51:35
Speaker 1: She's kind of got that kind of equity, but I
51:38
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect it. But she could also win a five
51:40
Speaker 1: round decision. And as an underdog, I'm always cool with that.
51:43
Speaker 1: So I guess for me, it's going to be Kong
51:46
Speaker 1: or pass. But I'm picking Silva to win and just
51:48
Speaker 1: not score enough.
51:50
Speaker 2: Man, I think. Silva is still my preferred play. And
51:55
Speaker 2: I think part of it is, again, I think Silva
51:57
Speaker 2: only got more appealing when Marcus McGee got a new opponent.
52:01
Speaker 2: Because now more people, some of that Silva ownership, I think,
52:04
Speaker 2: goes to McGee. Wang's already going to be high owned
52:06
Speaker 2: because it's a lot easier to fit the 9K options.
52:10
Speaker 2: So I think Wang comes in higher owned than Silva
52:13
Speaker 2: in the main event. Anytime I see that and the
52:16
Speaker 2: favorite's minus 200... It always opens my eyes. And then
52:20
Speaker 2: with Silva too, like you mentioned, she should try and
52:23
Speaker 2: mix in wrestling. I know that's not what she does,
52:25
Speaker 2: but Wang's just a striker. Mora almost submitted her recently.
52:29
Speaker 2: Wang also has been chin-checked as a minus 1,000 favorite
52:32
Speaker 2: just a couple of fights ago as well. So I
52:35
Speaker 2: just think 8,700 doesn't break the bank. Possible wrestling upside.
52:40
Speaker 2: But 25 minutes to work. Maybe it is just a slugfest.
52:43
Speaker 2: I think there's multiple outs. Silva can get there at
52:45
Speaker 2: 30% maybe. Like she's not going to be low owned,
52:49
Speaker 2: but she's going to be in check relative to main
52:51
Speaker 2: event favorites on what we've seen on many of cards.
52:54
Speaker 2: So I think actually Silva is probably my preferred play,
52:58
Speaker 2: but I totally do agree with you in the sense
52:59
Speaker 2: of Wang, when she wins a lot more likely to
53:02
Speaker 2: be optimal than all of Silva's wins definitely will not
53:06
Speaker 2: all be optimal. But when she is, I think the
53:08
Speaker 2: ownership will be in check. I think not half the field,
53:11
Speaker 2: but Wang might be 40%, 40% buried in, I think
53:14
Speaker 2: Silva is the leverage play. And again, as a minus
53:17
Speaker 2: 200 favorite at 8,700, I think she's my preferred, but
53:22
Speaker 2: I've more than likely will probably be underweight on this one.
53:25
Speaker 2: It really all comes down to projected ownership. I think
53:27
Speaker 2: somewhere around Silva, 30% weighing 37%, I think is my
53:32
Speaker 2: initial thoughts. 67% of the field. Yeah. I think I.
53:37
Speaker 1: Would say Silva might be under 30 now just because
53:41
Speaker 1: of McGee. So she might be like 25 to 30 range.
53:44
Speaker 2: That makes me like her even more for sure. Yeah,
53:47
Speaker 2: I think I'll be more overweight to Silva, probably underweight wing,
53:50
Speaker 2: but probably pretty close to the field on this fight
53:53
Speaker 2: in general. It's just, man, minus 260 to go the
53:56
Speaker 2: distance in a 25 minute fight where you can see
53:58
Speaker 2: neither of these girls average over a takedown. None of
54:01
Speaker 2: that sounds appealing. But again, the field's going to see that.
54:06
Speaker 2: And I do think there could be sneaky wrestling upside
54:09
Speaker 2: for Natalia Silva in this one, at least That's what
54:11
Speaker 2: she should be doing leading up to this fight is
54:13
Speaker 2: grinding that offensive wrestling and mixing that in at least
54:17
Speaker 2: to keep Wayne guessing on the feats and the feints.
54:19
Speaker 2: So is it a great main event? No, but it's
54:23
Speaker 2: five rounds. It's a title fight. And I mean, it's
54:26
Speaker 2: the last fight of the night. So we're forced to
54:28
Speaker 2: watch it. Hopefully you have a sweat going into it,
54:30
Speaker 2: whether you're fading the fight or you're cheering for one
54:33
Speaker 2: of these girls. Hopefully you have some sweat when it's
54:35
Speaker 2: all said and done, but not the best DFS card,
54:38
Speaker 2: not the best pay-per-view card, but for the earth, Excuse me,
54:41
Speaker 2: not the best real-life card, not the best pay-per-view card,
54:44
Speaker 2: but for DFS. 14 fights is great. A fadeable main event, great.
54:49
Speaker 2: A very chalky $ 8, 500 favorite that we think we can
54:52
Speaker 2: maybe fade. I think it's pretty good for DFS, so
54:55
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it. Final thoughts for you, Big Marley.
54:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to need a sweat if I'm going
55:00
Speaker 1: to stay up for this main event, to be honest
55:02
Speaker 1: with you. So if I don't have a sweat going,
55:03
Speaker 1: it might be bedtime after Rubavik's versus Green. But hopefully
55:07
Speaker 1: there is a sweat. Good luck to you, Tidal. Good
55:09
Speaker 1: luck to everybody listening. Let's ship it.
55:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little easier for me to stay up on
55:13
Speaker 2: the West Coast when the card starts at 1 versus 4.
55:16
Speaker 2: I would definitely be in bed if I was on
55:18
Speaker 2: the East Coast. I will be up, though, more than
55:21
Speaker 2: likely watching this whole card. And I'm definitely excited for
