- 0:04Speaker 1: Fall systems going clear, we left up what is going on?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Everybody? UFC Fighting night at the Apex. Fourteen fights, decent
- 0:42Speaker 2: amount of big favorites, I would say, a very weak
- 0:45Speaker 2: mid tier. I'm already jumping ahead giving a broad slid
- 0:48Speaker 2: overview though, no time to waste. Let me bring you
- 0:50Speaker 2: my man, Big Marley. I was your week last week,
- 0:53Speaker 2: Charles Oimero. That one felt nice to get through, absolutely domination.
- 0:57Speaker 2: But yeah, we're back this week ready for some fights,
- 1:00Speaker 2: and fourteen fights is always good for me.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Yeah, fourteen fights is good. I think it's gonna be
- 1:06Speaker 3: a tough card. A lot of unknowns on this one,
- 1:09Speaker 3: a lot of forgettable faces too. Kind of yeah, I
- 1:12Speaker 3: don't even remember how last week was. I feel like
- 1:14Speaker 3: it was just a crappy card in general. I don't
- 1:16Speaker 3: think it was a profitable card for me. Shit, I'm
- 1:20Speaker 3: having a hard enough time remembering some of these fights
- 1:22Speaker 3: that I researched on Sunday. So I got to this
- 1:24Speaker 3: card right now. But I think it's gonna be a
- 1:27Speaker 3: good one to go through. I'm looking forward to talking
- 1:29Speaker 3: it out with you. I got a couple couple of
- 1:31Speaker 3: fighters I'm excited about playing, but I have one five
- 1:35Speaker 3: star fight, and I originally had none and I forced
- 1:38Speaker 3: that one in there, so maybe you could talk me
- 1:40Speaker 3: into another one. Maybe you could talk me into my
- 1:42Speaker 3: first zero five star card. But looking forward to talking
- 1:46Speaker 3: this one out.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a tough card in my opinion. I
- 1:49Speaker 2: definitely have some takes the mid tier. Like I said
- 1:52Speaker 2: my broad say, mid tiers week, let's go, and I'm
- 1:54Speaker 2: gonna check your fight rankings or eighty four to seventy
- 1:57Speaker 2: eight hundred two star, eighty five seventy seven restar eighty
- 2:01Speaker 2: three seventy nine two star, and those are the only
- 2:05Speaker 2: three mid tier fights on the cards. So yeah, two
- 2:07Speaker 2: two and three, you and I both see it very similar.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I think it's the Stars and Scrubs slate. I think
- 2:12Speaker 2: there are some good fights in the Stars and Scrubs ranged.
- 2:15Speaker 2: I think there's underdogs in those fights that are expected
- 2:18Speaker 2: to finish that if they win that they definitely have
- 2:20Speaker 2: ninety plus point upside. So I will try to be
- 2:23Speaker 2: avoid avoiding that mid mid tier as much as I can.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Max one and most of my builds would be ideal.
- 2:29Speaker 2: And then yeah, I'm gonna pick some some lower tier
- 2:32Speaker 2: fighters hope to get the right combination up top. I
- 2:34Speaker 2: think it's a good card in terms of dfs because
- 2:36Speaker 2: it is difficult that way. A lot of similar upper
- 2:40Speaker 2: tier and lower tier fighters. I think that have upside,
- 2:42Speaker 2: but that'll lead to ownership being pretty spread out. And yeah,
- 2:45Speaker 2: I'm always excited. Mine can always be changed. I'm always
- 2:48Speaker 2: always open when I talk fights with you. But yeah,
- 2:51Speaker 2: who else we got in chat? We got Little Neck Marquee,

- 3:55Speaker 2: love to have you. Yeah, what's your broad sleep before
- 3:58Speaker 2: we go? Fight by fight?
- 4:02Speaker 3: Like, I like a clear underdog, like a cheap underdog
- 4:05Speaker 3: this week, and then that's gonna help me afford a
- 4:08Speaker 3: lot of the favorites that I want to target. But
- 4:10Speaker 3: aside from that one underdog, I think it's gonna be
- 4:12Speaker 3: a tough week to find dogs that you feel good about.
- 4:15Speaker 3: But there's a lot of ceiling dogs if they do
- 4:18Speaker 3: end up winning. But uh, just it's gonna be a
- 4:20Speaker 3: tough card. Maybe we leave salary on the table, but
- 4:22Speaker 3: I don't even think we have to get all that
- 4:24Speaker 3: different on this card, especially when I have the main
- 4:27Speaker 3: event as a four star. It's not even a must
- 4:29Speaker 3: have fight to target in DFS, so that makes things
- 4:32Speaker 3: even more interesting on a fourteen fight card.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I'll just tip my hand because it does.
- 4:37Speaker 2: The main event plays a lot of the role and
- 4:39Speaker 2: what I'm doing with other fights I would have as
- 4:41Speaker 2: a three star and arguably a two star. I think
- 4:43Speaker 2: it's one of the worst, one of the worst main
- 4:45Speaker 2: events in terms of DFS. I don't think Vallejos should
- 4:48Speaker 2: be the highest price fighter just naturally being a five
- 4:51Speaker 2: round favorite, it gravitates to ownership. A lot of other
- 4:55Speaker 2: cheaper fighters have better inside the distance props Balos Vallejos
- 4:58Speaker 2: isn't wrestling around one prop then a lot of other stuff.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I think he will be over owned, but a second
- 5:04Speaker 2: round knockout might not be enough. M It is tough
- 5:07Speaker 2: to I don't like Emmett as well, so I think
- 5:09Speaker 2: he's a fade and I will be under wait Valley Host.
- 5:12Speaker 2: I can leave money from Vallejos sound to pretty much
- 5:14Speaker 2: anyone below him. So that's that's kind of my hot
- 5:18Speaker 2: take on this card, or what I'm going to be
- 5:20Speaker 2: approaching it right there. So Yeah, when we go through
- 5:22Speaker 2: and I'm talking about some of these favorites, I'm gonna
- 5:24Speaker 2: like a decent amount of them. In the upper tier
- 5:26Speaker 2: because I like a lot of them more than Vallejos
- 5:28Speaker 2: had ownership just in a vacuum. Well, I said, great
- 5:32Speaker 2: to see AFC droping some knowledge in here as well. Yeah,
- 5:34Speaker 2: I think Mosquite is a lot better. I think a
- 5:36Speaker 2: lot of these fighters are. But we'll go fight by
- 5:39Speaker 2: fight and try and put all the pieces together. First
- 5:42Speaker 2: fight of the night. Oh, also, always look at the
- 5:44Speaker 2: line movement. I put this up on Monday. There's been
- 5:46Speaker 2: a couple of fights that have had a good amount
- 5:48Speaker 2: of line movement, so I'm saying the current lines on
- 5:51Speaker 2: fight odds IO. I put these up on Monday. It's
- 5:53Speaker 2: the same book bet online. Following the line movement is
- 5:57Speaker 2: something I really really think. And then that mma. So yeah,
- 6:02Speaker 2: so like right now minus one sixty is Pier Rodriguez
- 6:04Speaker 2: plus one forty Sam Hughes plus three twenty five for
- 6:07Speaker 2: this fight to finish. Rodriguez plus five hundred inside the
- 6:10Speaker 2: distance Sam Hughes plus six hundred by far the most
- 6:13Speaker 2: likely fight to go the distance open minus four hundred
- 6:16Speaker 2: now minus four fifty take it away.
- 6:18Speaker 1: What are you doing?
- 6:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is a rematch from a couple
- 6:22Speaker 3: of years ago, and I really just don't know that
- 6:24Speaker 3: a whole lot has changed. I think that if anything
- 6:28Speaker 3: has changed, it is Hughes that has improved more so
- 6:31Speaker 3: than Rodriguez. But Rodriguez still has solid enough boxing that
- 6:35Speaker 3: she can hang on the feet with Hughes if not
- 6:37Speaker 3: win it, and then it's her wrestling. I think that's
- 6:40Speaker 3: just going to take over and be enough to win
- 6:42Speaker 3: the twenty nine to twenty eight score that we're going
- 6:44Speaker 3: to see, and it could end up being a split decision.
- 6:46Speaker 3: But I think with this being in the mid range,
- 6:50Speaker 3: I'm somewhat interested because we do have Rodriguez with the
- 6:52Speaker 3: wrestling she scored I want to say, like close to
- 6:54Speaker 3: ninety last time, ninety two. I'll take thirty two at
- 6:58Speaker 3: eighty four eighty four hundred. I just don't know how
- 7:01Speaker 3: much success she'll have. What she landed five takedowns that
- 7:04Speaker 3: last time, but she has fifteen takedowns in her last
- 7:07Speaker 3: two fights combined. So I mean, she's gonna have to
- 7:11Speaker 3: wrestle and she's gonna look like a minus one forty
- 7:14Speaker 3: five favorite here. So I'm interested a little bit. I
- 7:17Speaker 3: might bump this up to a three star. Hughes is
- 7:19Speaker 3: a live dog. I don't know what her ceiling looks like,
- 7:22Speaker 3: because I don't expect her to wrestle much. She has
- 7:25Speaker 3: more so lately and she has improved that part of
- 7:27Speaker 3: her game. But I just think Rodriguez is gonna have
- 7:29Speaker 3: the wrestling edge in this one, so Hughes should try
- 7:32Speaker 3: to keep it standing. And I'm thinking if she wins,
- 7:35Speaker 3: she scores mid eighties or so, which was which it
- 7:37Speaker 3: would be fine. But I just think there's a lot
- 7:40Speaker 3: of other underdogs that if they win, they could score higher.
- 7:43Speaker 3: So she's in that same boat with those other those
- 7:45Speaker 3: other underdogs. As me, I'm gonna pick Pierre and Rodriguez
- 7:49Speaker 3: my pick, and I think she'll get it done with
- 7:51Speaker 3: the wrestling.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gross.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't want to have much exposure
- 7:55Speaker 2: in the mid tier, but Pierre Rodriguez is my favorite
- 7:57Speaker 2: mid tier fighter. And again that's not say much, but
- 8:01Speaker 2: to average four point five to three takedowns per fifteen
- 8:03Speaker 2: to rematch from twenty twenty two she scored ninety two.
- 8:06Speaker 2: I'm taking ninety two all day long in the midsier
- 8:09Speaker 2: this week, even at eighty four hundred. Again, Anders Tavares
- 8:13Speaker 2: fight not my favorite Smith. You I don't think that's
- 8:15Speaker 2: a good fight, so you just don't have much in
- 8:18Speaker 2: terms of what's around it. And her last two fights
- 8:20Speaker 2: she scored one hundred and two and one hundred and
- 8:23Speaker 2: three DraftKings points, seven and eight takedowns. Like you mentioned,
- 8:27Speaker 2: I mean, just showing that type of upside I'm in,
- 8:30Speaker 2: Like she already showed it. Sam Hughes got right back up.
- 8:32Speaker 2: She won five for eleven, only two minutes of control time,
- 8:35Speaker 2: so still scored ninety two points. It's actually good that
- 8:38Speaker 2: Hughes can continue to get up because Rodriguez, like we
- 8:40Speaker 2: saw ra Ruhl Rosas Junior last week. I mean, rob
- 8:45Speaker 2: fine gets up right back down. That's what you want
- 8:47Speaker 2: in dfs. So yeah, I think Pier Rodriguez is a
- 8:50Speaker 2: strong play. And I was going I was kind of
- 8:53Speaker 2: wavering on Sam Hughes. Do you think most of her
- 8:54Speaker 2: wins score over eighty.
- 9:00Speaker 3: More than fifty percent? Yeah, I would say it's like
- 9:03Speaker 3: close to that though maybe fifty sixty percent range.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that has to be more interested than
- 9:08Speaker 2: I initially had. You like her or you more? Who
- 9:11Speaker 2: are just gonna talk about soon?
- 9:15Speaker 3: I think they're they're similar. I'll say I like Hughes more.
- 9:22Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, it's either a it's an underway take
- 9:26Speaker 2: for Hughes, maybe a fate. If I'm only playing five teams,
- 9:28Speaker 2: I'm probably not getting the Hughes like, because I do
- 9:31Speaker 2: think she'll be fighting off takedown's a lot. She has
- 9:33Speaker 2: no power, like it seems like you're just point fighting
- 9:35Speaker 2: is the way to win. She has good cardio, but
- 9:38Speaker 2: it's hard for me to see the upside much plus
- 9:40Speaker 2: six hundred. But if I knew she scored eighty, I'd
- 9:42Speaker 2: want to be overweight to the field again, seventy eight
- 9:44Speaker 2: hundred in the mid tier, like, I'm I'm rolling with
- 9:47Speaker 2: that because I do think a lot of big favorites
- 9:49Speaker 2: are a lot of favorites score well, and if a
- 9:51Speaker 2: lot of just favorites win period and we don't get
- 9:54Speaker 2: many dogs, eighty at seventy eight hundred is definitely live.
- 9:57Speaker 2: So Rodriguez definitely my preferred play. But maybe I'll get
- 10:01Speaker 2: a little more hues after're talking with you. We'll see
- 10:04Speaker 2: on that again. All of our content is updated throughout.
- 10:07Speaker 2: If any changes are made, we let this cordin know
- 10:09Speaker 2: on Saturday morning, but yeah, everything will be up tomorrow
- 10:11Speaker 2: on Friday. All right, back to back mid tier fights.
- 10:15Speaker 2: This is the second most likely fight to go the distance.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Let me refresh, and Elijah Smith might have just taken
- 10:20Speaker 2: some more money. Yeah, Now minus two sixty five is
- 10:23Speaker 2: Smith plus two twenty five? Is you plus one seventy
- 10:26Speaker 2: for this fight to finish Smith plus two thirty inside
- 10:29Speaker 2: the distance, you plus six hundred Elijah Smith are passed
- 10:33Speaker 2: for me? Is kind of how I'm seeing it again.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Minus two to oh five with Smith on Monday. Now
- 10:38Speaker 2: he's minus two sixty five this fight plus one eighty
- 10:40Speaker 2: to finish now plus one seventy, which isn't great, but
- 10:44Speaker 2: a lot of the finish equity on the Smith side.
- 10:46Speaker 2: It feels like striker and Smith versus grappler and you
- 10:49Speaker 2: and I just think Smith's a lot more dangerous. However, Smith,
- 10:52Speaker 2: my decision the most likely outcome, and that's not going
- 10:55Speaker 2: to score or be optimal at this uh in this one.
- 10:59Speaker 2: So I don't love the fight, but if have him
- 11:01Speaker 2: to choose the side, I'm gonna go with Smith.
- 11:02Speaker 1: How do you see it?
- 11:04Speaker 3: Yeah? I agree, You is gonna need to wrestle in
- 11:07Speaker 3: this one. But even when he does wrestle, he doesn't
- 11:09Speaker 3: score very many points. He landed five takedowns In his
- 11:13Speaker 3: second GOC fight, pretty easy matchup two, he only scored
- 11:16Speaker 3: eighty eight eighty eight DraftKings points. I think that he's
- 11:20Speaker 3: got a much tougher time wrestling in this matchup than
- 11:23Speaker 3: he does in that one. In my opinion, Smith really
- 11:26Speaker 3: has him covered everywhere. The wrestling could maybe go either way,
- 11:29Speaker 3: but Smith is going to be more powerful, just more athletic,
- 11:32Speaker 3: more talented in general. He's also going to be the
- 11:35Speaker 3: better striker, much more dangerous on the feet. Cardio, I
- 11:39Speaker 3: guess would be the edge that you would have. Maybe
- 11:42Speaker 3: Smith could dominate early. I'll be real front row, front loaded,
- 11:45Speaker 3: and then slow down and then you will be pretty
- 11:48Speaker 3: much the same pace throughout the whole fifteen minutes. But
- 11:51Speaker 3: he's not a high paced fighter. He's a slow pace striker.
- 11:55Speaker 3: So if it's on the feet, it's he's not going
- 11:56Speaker 3: to score much at all. So I'm not too interested
- 11:59Speaker 3: in him. I think if he does wrestle and he
- 12:02Speaker 3: knocks out you know, five six takedowns in a win
- 12:05Speaker 3: and he scores eighty five, I'm gonna be underweight and
- 12:08Speaker 3: I'll probably be pissed off, but there's still gonna be
- 12:12Speaker 3: a chance after there's twelve more fights, so you still
- 12:14Speaker 3: got a shot with a lot of these other underdogs.
- 12:16Speaker 3: So I'm for sure gonna be underweight with you know,
- 12:19Speaker 3: ten lineups. I'm probably fading with twenty. I might get
- 12:22Speaker 3: to him in one or two, and then m and me.
- 12:25Speaker 3: I'll kind of let Saber sim do his thing out.
- 12:27Speaker 3: I would want to limit him to like under twenty percent, though,
- 12:31Speaker 3: if it was given me more than that.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean for you again, it's jumping ahead
- 12:36Speaker 2: a little bit, but it all ties into the same thing.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Seventy seven hundred give me.
- 12:42Speaker 2: I mean, I almost might like Chris Curtis more than Vacum,
- 12:44Speaker 2: and I don't even love Curtis, But for sure, give
- 12:46Speaker 2: me Bruno Silva, give me Asplin, give me Hardwick, gimme
- 12:49Speaker 2: Cute de Lava, all of them. I definitely prefer gimme Lamos,
- 12:52Speaker 2: like I'm taking all of them over you. All of
- 12:55Speaker 2: them are cheaper as well, so I'm leaving the money easily.
- 12:58Speaker 2: And I like the fighter more in a vacuum, so I.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Won't have much.
- 13:02Speaker 2: You Smith, He's got power, sell it inside the distance,
- 13:04Speaker 2: prop a great money line for his price, so it
- 13:06Speaker 2: feels like a possible cash play maybe, but we still
- 13:11Speaker 2: need upside. I prefer Pierre Rodriguez, even though she's like
- 13:13Speaker 2: a dollar less of a favorite in terms of upside
- 13:15Speaker 2: and being optimal on this card. I think Rodriguez has
- 13:18Speaker 2: the higher ceiling due to wrestling, where Smith is a
- 13:21Speaker 2: safer play. What's up, Nicholas, Great to see you. I
- 13:24Speaker 2: hope you're doing well. Glad you're glad you're catching this
- 13:26Speaker 2: live again back to back weeks. All right, next fight
- 13:29Speaker 2: on the card. Biggest favorites is Meya Mosquita minus eight
- 13:33Speaker 2: hundred taking a monstert Redont plus five seventy five.
- 13:37Speaker 1: This fight is hold on, come on fight.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Odds minus one ninety to finish, Mosquito minus one eighty
- 13:45Speaker 2: five inside the distance when don't plus ten fifty so
- 13:48Speaker 2: you can see on Monday, minus five to fifty for
- 13:52Speaker 2: Mosquito and now she's minus eight hundred.
- 13:54Speaker 1: That's a lot of money she's taken.
- 13:55Speaker 2: With that being said, I just wrote up this fight
- 13:57Speaker 2: a couple hours ago, like literally two hours ago. She
- 14:00Speaker 2: was minus two fifteen to finish. Now she's minus one
- 14:03Speaker 2: eighty five. This fight was minus two fifty to finish
- 14:06Speaker 2: at open. Now it's minus one ninety, so some money
- 14:10Speaker 2: coming in on the over Mosquito still great inside the
- 14:14Speaker 2: distance prop round one prop I believe is plus one
- 14:17Speaker 2: sixty five also good there she's ninety five hundred, like,
- 14:21Speaker 2: get easily Mosquito over the lay host in the vacuum
- 14:24Speaker 2: for me there. I think you can fit her on
- 14:26Speaker 2: this card. But I also think you can easily drop
- 14:28Speaker 2: her down to Patrino, Racky Delgado, stuff like that and
- 14:32Speaker 2: leave money there. So I'm definitely gonna play something. It's
- 14:35Speaker 2: one of those kind of like Dante Johnson. We talk
- 14:38Speaker 2: about it a lot. In the upper tier. We like them,
- 14:40Speaker 2: but we think fighters can outscore them below. So I'm
- 14:43Speaker 2: fine with the wide range of outcomes. If I had
- 14:45Speaker 2: twenty percent, Okay, I'm getting different by dropping down a
- 14:48Speaker 2: couple hundred to these others and hope they outscore. If
- 14:51Speaker 2: I have sixty five percent, sure, she's minus eight hundred
- 14:53Speaker 2: minus one eighty five to finish, wants it on the mat,
- 14:56Speaker 2: and I'm trusting myself to build good lineups that way.
- 14:58Speaker 1: So I do think she's probably the best. Eh.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Delgado's a monster too. She's definitely one of the best
- 15:04Speaker 2: spents on the slate.
- 15:05Speaker 1: If you have the money. But yeah, no, no Rendon
- 15:08Speaker 1: for me too.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I agree with all that. I'm just
- 15:12Speaker 3: gonna fade Rendon. I'm fine with Mosquito. It's just if
- 15:16Speaker 3: we have the price to pay and we don't want
- 15:19Speaker 3: to get up to Vallejos. But I do think she's
- 15:22Speaker 3: just gonna dominate this fight on the ground, and if
- 15:24Speaker 3: it's an early finish, it's gonna be an early submission
- 15:26Speaker 3: or even ground it down from her.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Uh.
- 15:29Speaker 3: She's just gonna be really dominant when the fight is
- 15:32Speaker 3: on the ground. She's got solid jiu jitsu, and she's
- 15:35Speaker 3: looked good in her ROOMMM fight so far. I would
- 15:38Speaker 3: worry if this fight does get extended, how she's gonna
- 15:41Speaker 3: be looking with her wrestling at that point. So Rendon,
- 15:44Speaker 3: her whole game plan should just be digging underhooks, trying
- 15:46Speaker 3: to keep this fight on the feet. And she has
- 15:48Speaker 3: a strong woman, so I think if she can keep
- 15:51Speaker 3: it on standing, maybe she can end up winning the
- 15:54Speaker 3: second and third rounds. But even if she does that,
- 15:57Speaker 3: she might score fifty points. So she's a complete X out.
- 16:00Speaker 3: For me is just how what does she do to
- 16:03Speaker 3: slow down Mosquito? Uh, So I'm not sure, but I expect.
- 16:08Speaker 3: I think we're gonna get a finish first or second
- 16:10Speaker 3: round from the grappler here. That's probably what the UFC
- 16:12Speaker 3: wants to see, and that's kind of what I'm hoping.
- 16:17Speaker 3: But I agree. It's similar to Dante Johnson last week,
- 16:20Speaker 3: where if I had twenty percent, I'm cool with that.
- 16:22Speaker 3: If I have fifty percent, I'm cool with that.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you and I see it the same.
- 16:26Speaker 1: More than likely.
- 16:27Speaker 2: I'm thinking of first or second round finish two, but
- 16:29Speaker 2: that can be a big difference, or like an immediate
- 16:31Speaker 2: takedown and to finish a minute six seconds in for
- 16:34Speaker 2: ninety eight like that probably isn't enough on this card,
- 16:37Speaker 2: but she definitely has more upside than that's biggest favorite.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I think a very strong play, no doubt about it.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Next fight on the card, Hatch your home so minus
- 16:46Speaker 2: two forty taking Lawan Laserta plus two oh five minus
- 16:50Speaker 2: won sixty for this fight to finish Sosa plus one
- 16:52Speaker 2: oh five inside of this since Laserta plus three eighty five, Yeah,
- 16:57Speaker 2: I'll let you start this one off.
- 16:58Speaker 1: This one. I'm it's very interesting.
- 17:01Speaker 2: I could see a path on both sides, and ownership's
- 17:03Speaker 2: gonna be in check, but I think more than likely,
- 17:07Speaker 2: maybe not optimal.
- 17:08Speaker 1: You have it a three star. This one's tricky for sure,
- 17:10Speaker 1: but I don't think ownership's gonna be here.
- 17:12Speaker 3: With that being said, yeah, this is my threes all
- 17:15Speaker 3: around on this one. I don't know what I'm gonna
- 17:17Speaker 3: do on this one. Leserta is live and more so
- 17:21Speaker 3: live to pull off a submission, and he's gonna score
- 17:24Speaker 3: well if that happens. He's a dangerous grappler, but I
- 17:27Speaker 3: don't know how confident I would feel about him dictating
- 17:31Speaker 3: where the fight takes place. He could strike at a
- 17:34Speaker 3: decent pace when the fight is on the feet, but
- 17:36Speaker 3: I think Sosa is the better striker, and he's much
- 17:38Speaker 3: more dangerous with his punching power. But I think Sosa
- 17:42Speaker 3: is the better grappler or sorry, the better wrestler too,
- 17:46Speaker 3: and he can dictate where the fight takes place. If
- 17:49Speaker 3: he does get takedowns, I kind of think he can
- 17:51Speaker 3: hang out and top control over Laserta. So I'm picking
- 17:54Speaker 3: Sosa to win. I just think he has more ways
- 17:56Speaker 3: to get it done. But the main worry would be
- 17:59Speaker 3: on so if he's looking to strike at eighty nine hundred,
- 18:02Speaker 3: I'm not that interested. Maybe that pushes me more to
- 18:06Speaker 3: Laserta as my preferred play because he is so cheap.
- 18:10Speaker 3: But I already have another cheap play on this card
- 18:12Speaker 3: and a him, So give me Sosa preferred play. But
- 18:15Speaker 3: this is closer to a two star than a four star.
- 18:18Speaker 2: I agree, but I do think, like I said, back
- 18:20Speaker 2: to the ownership, at the end of the day, it's
- 18:22Speaker 2: plus one oh five for Sosa plus three fifty five.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Let me just make sure it's three fifty five and
- 18:28Speaker 2: not plus three eighty five for l Serda three plus
- 18:31Speaker 2: three eighty five. Okay, But that being said, like I mean,
- 18:34Speaker 2: it's clear that Sosa is gonna be relatively low owned
- 18:37Speaker 2: because if you go up to Mesquite for one hundred,
- 18:40Speaker 2: you get Mosquito way more popular, up two hundred of
- 18:43Speaker 2: a lighthouse way more popular, down one to Delgado way
- 18:46Speaker 2: more popular. So he's definitely the pivot in that range.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Still plus one oh five to finish, can wrestle. Not
- 18:52Speaker 2: sure he's gonna choose it in this matchup, and he's
- 18:55Speaker 2: got hands, so you can definitely paint a Actually I
- 18:58Speaker 2: was looking at the other Sosa for pricing.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I'm tweaking there.
- 19:01Speaker 2: But with that being said, all of them will be
- 19:04Speaker 2: higher on and also who else is that oral by
- 19:07Speaker 2: right in that range? Patrino one hundred more will definitely
- 19:10Speaker 2: be more popular, and See will definitely be more popular too.
- 19:14Speaker 2: So when we get to that Sosa, I kind of
- 19:16Speaker 2: just talked about that one as well.
- 19:18Speaker 1: They're back to back fights. I was staring at it.
- 19:20Speaker 2: They're both pivots, both solid finishing props, both going to
- 19:23Speaker 2: be relatively low owned.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Both the fights are expected to finish. You can see.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I mean, it's just like pretty much a carbon copy
- 19:30Speaker 2: the same inside the distance, relatively similar finishing prop that way.
- 19:34Speaker 2: With that being said, I do prefer Laserta if having
- 19:37Speaker 2: to choose. He's sixteen hundred cheaper and he wants to
- 19:39Speaker 2: fight on the mat against a guy making his UFC debut.
- 19:42Speaker 2: I don't think Lasara is very good, but if he wins,
- 19:45Speaker 2: he's gonna give me a score that I'm least alright
- 19:48Speaker 2: with at seventy three hundred, where Sosa he can very
- 19:51Speaker 2: well win, and many of his wins probably just gonna
- 19:53Speaker 2: score mid eighties or.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Something and not be enough.
- 19:55Speaker 2: So Sosa and more popular lineups, I'm fine with lasaraam
- 19:58Speaker 2: my preferred play. I prefer other fights on this card though,
- 20:02Speaker 2: but at ownership, I think it's definitely live to be optimal,
- 20:06Speaker 2: and it's relatively low owned. Mataoos great to see as well. Again,
- 20:12Speaker 2: like button subscribe, but helps us out a ton.
- 20:14Speaker 1: We appreciate it.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Next fight on the card, I kind of already tipped
- 20:17Speaker 2: my hand on this one. Another Sosa men old Manuel
- 20:20Speaker 2: Sosa taken on Balaji Oki minus two seventy. Sosa plus
- 20:24Speaker 2: two thirty is Oki minus one sixty for this fight
- 20:27Speaker 2: to finish. Sosa plus one oh five inside the distance,
- 20:29Speaker 2: Oki plus four hundred.
- 20:31Speaker 1: So like I literally said.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Both Sosas have the same plus one oh five inside
- 20:35Speaker 2: the distance. With that being said, this guy, this Sosas
- 20:38Speaker 2: five hundred more than the last one. So naturally I'm
- 20:41Speaker 2: gonna like this, so Celeste. But like I said, he's
- 20:44Speaker 2: gonna be a pivot. There's a Valet host, there's Delgado,
- 20:47Speaker 2: there's Mosquito, like he might be sub twenty percent and
- 20:51Speaker 2: he's plus one oh five to finish in a fight
- 20:53Speaker 2: expected to finish.
- 20:54Speaker 1: So a pivot. But yeah, I'll let you take away.
- 20:57Speaker 2: This is your It pays to be in the discord
- 20:59Speaker 2: on Sun Big Marley's saying that he thinks Bolagi Oki
- 21:02Speaker 2: at plus two seventy fives value, he got some buy
- 21:05Speaker 2: and I think this is the dog you're talking about.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Yeah, Okie's gonna be my favorite dog of the week,
- 21:10Speaker 3: just because I'm not sold on this Sosa guy most
- 21:14Speaker 3: most of the film. I saw he was getting beat
- 21:16Speaker 3: the whole time. He was losing most of the minutes,
- 21:19Speaker 3: I would say, and then he knocks the dude out
- 21:21Speaker 3: in the third round after the guy's gassed out from
- 21:23Speaker 3: beating on him for ten minutes. I feel like there
- 21:26Speaker 3: were two fights like that. But this guy, I mean,
- 21:28Speaker 3: he's huge, He's got a ton of power, and Oki
- 21:31Speaker 3: is hit able, so I understand that it's a dangerous
- 21:35Speaker 3: matchup for Oki. Sosa could knock him out in any
- 21:37Speaker 3: round for sure, and he does go for submissions as well.
- 21:41Speaker 3: But he's just he could be taken down so easily,
- 21:45Speaker 3: and people can just hang out and top control for
- 21:47Speaker 3: for four or five minutes. On this guy, I think
- 21:50Speaker 3: if Okie wanted to do that, he can. But Okie
- 21:53Speaker 3: also big time power. He was he damned near beat
- 21:56Speaker 3: Mason Jones with a quick win bonus in his last fight,
- 21:59Speaker 3: and then he gassed out, So it's similar, like he
- 22:01Speaker 3: could gas out by trying to kill this guy and
- 22:04Speaker 3: then he gets knocked out late. I could see that happening.
- 22:07Speaker 3: But I still think at plus two fifteen, OKI's the
- 22:11Speaker 3: value side. I feel like he should be closer to
- 22:13Speaker 3: plus one fifty, So he's my pick for sure. I'm
- 22:17Speaker 3: not gonna be playing any SOSA with ten or less lineups,
- 22:21Speaker 3: for sure. I would imagine I'm not playing them with
- 22:23Speaker 3: even twenty or less. I would need to be like
- 22:26Speaker 3: emmmying fifty or more just to get a little bit
- 22:29Speaker 3: of exposure to him. But to me, it's just gonna
- 22:31Speaker 3: be adding on to my bet with DFS. I'll just
- 22:34Speaker 3: throw Ok in a handful of lineups and just not
- 22:38Speaker 3: use SOSA and just completely root against that guy. So
- 22:41Speaker 3: go Oki. Hope it's the first roun'll finish.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Oki is my preferred side. Again, I
- 22:46Speaker 2: saw your message on Sunday. I had an eye on
- 22:49Speaker 2: this fight the whole time. Not only are you getting
- 22:51Speaker 2: a pretty solid fighter in Oki, the other guy's making
- 22:53Speaker 2: his UFC debut. Oki three inch or three inch each
- 22:56Speaker 2: advantage one and chide advantage. But look, I mean two
- 23:00Speaker 2: point five nine significant strikes per minute, one point oh
- 23:02Speaker 2: one takedowns per fifteen. You're getting a well rounded fighter
- 23:06Speaker 2: sub seven k, solid money line for his price, solid
- 23:09Speaker 2: inside the distance prop for his price, He's sixty eight
- 23:12Speaker 2: hundred bucks. I mean, if every favorite one on this
- 23:15Speaker 2: card ok, I think would be one of the most
- 23:17Speaker 2: live to be optimal in a loss as well, with
- 23:20Speaker 2: a lot of finishes or a lot of fights expected
- 23:22Speaker 2: to finish, and with his cheap, cheap price day at
- 23:25Speaker 2: sixty eight hundred again, I'm not expecting that. I definitely
- 23:28Speaker 2: think some dogs are gonna come through, but I'm on
- 23:30Speaker 2: your side. I'm definitely going OK again, Sosa a pivot,
- 23:33Speaker 2: but I prefer the other Sosa who's also a pivot.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Next fight, Mick beck or By taking on Chris Curtis,
- 23:41Speaker 2: oral by minus three thirty Curtis plus two seventy plus
- 23:45Speaker 2: one oh five for this fight to finish, oral by
- 23:46Speaker 2: plus one sixty inside the distance Chris Curtis plus five hundred.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Looking at this one in terms of line movement, oral
- 23:53Speaker 2: by on Monday minus two sixty five. Now he's minus
- 23:57Speaker 2: three to thirty or bis. Just a DFS mon. You
- 24:00Speaker 2: can see on the stone he likes to wrestle. His
- 24:03Speaker 2: fo UFC wins have scored one twenty three, one oh seven,
- 24:06Speaker 2: one fifteen and one oh six.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Chris Curtis does have good takedown.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Defense, though, so do you see or By being able
- 24:14Speaker 2: to get that many takedowns or how do you see
- 24:15Speaker 2: this fight going?
- 24:17Speaker 3: Yeah, have it as a three star because I think
- 24:19Speaker 3: it is gonna be tough for him to get. Uh.
- 24:21Speaker 3: I mean, at least a handful of takedowns, maybe get
- 24:23Speaker 3: you know, one to three takedowns and try to keep
- 24:26Speaker 3: top control time. But Curtis is gonna be hard to
- 24:29Speaker 3: hold down too. So I see Curtis as being the
- 24:31Speaker 3: better boxer, way higher volume on the feet. He is
- 24:34Speaker 3: the better striker. Oral By has power on the feet.
- 24:37Speaker 3: He could knock out Curtis, but minute wise, I think
- 24:40Speaker 3: Curtis will win the striking and then it's just if
- 24:42Speaker 3: the wrestling is there or not. For oral By. He
- 24:45Speaker 3: could submit Curtis as well if he's able to get
- 24:47Speaker 3: it to the ground. But I don't know. I'm interested
- 24:50Speaker 3: to see how he does with the wrestling because I
- 24:52Speaker 3: do feel like he's gonna have to shoot multiple times
- 24:55Speaker 3: in this fight, especially if he's gonna need to look
- 24:58Speaker 3: like a minus two sixty five favored. Do you think
- 25:00Speaker 3: that's a little bit wide out side?
- 25:03Speaker 1: Say what three minus three thirty?
- 25:05Speaker 3: Now? So I mean if people are confident in him,
- 25:08Speaker 3: that makes me like him a little bit more. But wow, yeah,
- 25:12Speaker 3: I don't understand. I mean, I don't understand that line.
- 25:14Speaker 3: But it's also Curtis just lost to like Max Griffin
- 25:17Speaker 3: didn't did look good. Yeah, I think Orlebi is the side.
- 25:23Speaker 3: I just don't think it's gonna be as dominant as
- 25:25Speaker 3: some of his other wins. He is the side that
- 25:28Speaker 3: has one hundred and twenty point ceiling. But I think
- 25:31Speaker 3: we're gonna get closer to eighty than we do one
- 25:33Speaker 3: hundred and twenty this week, and uh, I'll probably not
- 25:36Speaker 3: avoid him, but it'll be more so orle buy or
- 25:39Speaker 3: passed and I'll try to get other guys instead, because
- 25:42Speaker 3: I like Patrino more for one hundred lists.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do think Patrina is more popular. I've
- 25:47Speaker 2: gone back and forth on this too, because curtis great
- 25:50Speaker 2: takedown defense, like the Brendan Allen fight their first fight,
- 25:53Speaker 2: sub takedowns him with the body and dropped him like
- 25:56Speaker 2: all he does is far was Shawn Strickland. With that
- 25:58Speaker 2: being said, I like following them a lot, and that's
- 26:00Speaker 2: a big minus two sixty five and minus three thirty.
- 26:03Speaker 1: That's a lot.
- 26:04Speaker 2: If he looks like a minus three thirty favorite, that
- 26:06Speaker 2: means he's gonna get takedowns, which obviously means a lot
- 26:10Speaker 2: of upside in terms of dfs. Dogs are barking, sorry
- 26:15Speaker 2: if you can hear that, but yeah, dogs of arkain.
- 26:21Speaker 2: But Chris Curtis side, I'm gonna play some at seventy
- 26:25Speaker 2: one hundred, but I think it's I was gonna say
- 26:28Speaker 2: ceilings limited because he'sna be fighting off so many takedowns.
- 26:31Speaker 1: But if Orby just keeps like relentlessly shooting early.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Hold on, come on, If Orby just keeps shooting a
- 26:41Speaker 2: ton in the first round and Curtis keeps stuffing them
- 26:44Speaker 2: and Orby gets discouraged or he starts slowing down, Like
- 26:47Speaker 2: we know, Curtis has volume, can mix it up to
- 26:49Speaker 2: the body.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Well. Orby is really tough, but.
- 26:53Speaker 2: I mean Curtis mixes it up down low, which I
- 26:55Speaker 2: like to see a lot to the like you give
- 26:57Speaker 2: me the toughest man and have the brick chin. But
- 26:59Speaker 2: if you go to the body over and over that
- 27:02Speaker 2: can giveaway as well. So Curtis falls down my list
- 27:05Speaker 2: for dogs down below because I do like a lot,
- 27:07Speaker 2: but I can see a path if we get Vinta.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Chris Curtis Stuff's takedowns makes it a striking match, drags
- 27:13Speaker 2: him into the deep water. It's like he could get
- 27:15Speaker 2: there at seventy one hundred, so I'll have some. Orbi
- 27:17Speaker 2: is my preferred play though, because the line movement plus
- 27:20Speaker 2: one sixty inside the distance is solid and when he wins,
- 27:24Speaker 2: like if anyone on this card would do it to
- 27:26Speaker 2: do what Robert Rosaus Junior did, I think you're probably
- 27:28Speaker 2: looking at Orbi to be the one, even though the
- 27:31Speaker 2: matchup looks tough.
- 27:35Speaker 3: Play at least one Chris Curtis now though, because your
- 27:37Speaker 3: dogs are barking.
- 27:38Speaker 2: I.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Like it. I like it all right.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Next fight on the card, boring snoozer Eric Anders minus
- 27:46Speaker 2: one twenty seven bread Tavaris plus one oh seven plus
- 27:49Speaker 2: one oh five for this fight to finish. Oh hold
- 27:52Speaker 2: on not plus one oh five pulled up the wrong
- 27:54Speaker 2: one plus one thirty for this fight to finish Anders
- 27:59Speaker 2: Anders plus three two twenty five inside the distance Tavars
- 28:02Speaker 2: plus two sixty five. So let me get this right quick.
- 28:06Speaker 2: On Monday, Tavars minus one thirty five favorite. Now the
- 28:09Speaker 2: line almost completely flipped. Anders is the favorite while being
- 28:12Speaker 2: four hundred cheaper. This fight on Monday was plus one
- 28:17Speaker 2: fifteen to finish. Now it's plus one thirty. Still, the
- 28:20Speaker 2: underdog in Tavares has the better inside the distance prop
- 28:23Speaker 2: at plus two sixty five versus plus three twenty five.
- 28:27Speaker 2: You see, like Anders one point seventy five takedowns per fifteen,
- 28:30Speaker 2: both guys low volume. Tavars is known for good takedown defense.
- 28:34Speaker 2: I think we're looking at a boring striking match at
- 28:36Speaker 2: distance that's gonna go the distance that is not gonna score.
- 28:40Speaker 2: With that being said, I don't know, to be honest
- 28:44Speaker 2: right now, maybe Tavaris is my preferred play in GPPs
- 28:47Speaker 2: because people are gonna see Anders the favorite at seventy
- 28:50Speaker 2: nine hundred and just click that button. But we know
- 28:53Speaker 2: we need upside. When we're talking mid tier, we're talking
- 28:56Speaker 2: the flagship and stuff like that. Tavars, I mean's more
- 28:59Speaker 2: likely to finish in this fight. You actually get leverage
- 29:02Speaker 2: off of Anders. But with that being said, this I
- 29:05Speaker 2: don't want this fight to be optimal more than likely.
- 29:07Speaker 2: I don't want to play too much of it. How
- 29:09Speaker 2: do you see it?
- 29:10Speaker 3: No, I mean, really a one star for me, I
- 29:13Speaker 3: highly doubt I play this fight. Anders is my preferred play.
- 29:16Speaker 3: I'm picking him to win. I just think it's a
- 29:18Speaker 3: fifty to fifty fight where it is going to be
- 29:21Speaker 3: slow paced back and forth. The volume is gonna be
- 29:24Speaker 3: close but slow, and we probably don't get a single
- 29:27Speaker 3: takedown from either side, and then we're gonna get a
- 29:30Speaker 3: split decision at the end of it. The only reason
- 29:33Speaker 3: to play this fight is for the knockout equity on
- 29:36Speaker 3: either side. It is right there in the mid range.
- 29:39Speaker 3: So if there's a first round knockout, there's a good
- 29:41Speaker 3: chance they're on the optimal lineup. So that's what you're fading,
- 29:44Speaker 3: is the first round knockout. I think even a second
- 29:46Speaker 3: round knockout, they're gonna be hard press to at least
- 29:50Speaker 3: be a lock on the optimal lineup. So I'm just
- 29:53Speaker 3: gonna fade this fight completely with my twenty or less.
- 29:56Speaker 3: I would have to be making more than twenty and
- 29:58Speaker 3: just emmmying and for me to get to this fight,
- 30:02Speaker 3: but I will not be playing both sides of it.
- 30:04Speaker 3: So I will x out Tavares and make it Anders
- 30:08Speaker 3: are passed, but ideally I'm passing and Anders wins a
- 30:13Speaker 3: split decision and scores fifty three points.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I would love that.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I mean, these are two guys I don't like clicking
- 30:19Speaker 2: much in DFS at all. Now you match them up together,
- 30:21Speaker 2: the overs taking money Again, With that all being said,
- 30:24Speaker 2: the mid tier is weak and now Tavares plus two
- 30:27Speaker 2: sixty five isn't bad. And Andrews I think will be
- 30:30Speaker 2: over owned due to his money line being the favorite
- 30:33Speaker 2: at seventy nine hundred. So earlier in the week I
- 30:36Speaker 2: said give me Anders at dog money four hundred savings
- 30:38Speaker 2: easy again now that I think ownership could be like
- 30:41Speaker 2: twenty seven Anders thirteen Tavars or something. We're talking about
- 30:45Speaker 2: a different game with the better inside the distance prop.
- 30:47Speaker 2: But regardless, I don't want this fight. Yeah, slow and boarding.
- 30:51Speaker 2: Like Nicholas said, Ray, very nice of you. Appreciate you
- 30:54Speaker 2: hanging out. It's great insight. That is very nice of you.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Just if you're just popping in again the like button
- 31:00Speaker 2: side a ton subscribe button as well. Next fight on
- 31:04Speaker 2: the card, I'm a this is a solid real life fight.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Interested for DFS to hear your take. Charles Johnson minus
- 31:09Speaker 2: won sixty, Bruno Silva plus one forty plus one ten
- 31:12Speaker 2: for this fight to finish, Charles Johnson plus two sixty
- 31:15Speaker 2: five inside the distance, Bruno Silva plus two seventy. Some
- 31:19Speaker 2: money on the Bruno Silva side, and quite a bit
- 31:21Speaker 2: of it. Johnson open minus two five now minus won sixty.
- 31:25Speaker 2: I was on the silver side earlier. I thought the
- 31:27Speaker 2: line was disrespectful. Unfortunately the line is going that way
- 31:31Speaker 2: because that'll make Silva more popular still, maybe relatively in check,
- 31:35Speaker 2: but I mean, yeah, twelve hundred savings pretty much the
- 31:38Speaker 2: same inside the distance prop gimme Silva as my preferred
- 31:42Speaker 2: play in this one.
- 31:42Speaker 1: It looks like you see it the same.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. I think it's a close fight where
- 31:49Speaker 3: it's just closer to a fifty to fifty fight, and
- 31:51Speaker 3: I went with the underdog for that reason. Johnson is
- 31:53Speaker 3: coming back a little bit early from a TKO loss,
- 31:58Speaker 3: but both of these guys do score well when they win.
- 32:00Speaker 3: I like that about him. Silva has power on the feet.
- 32:04Speaker 3: I think he could win minutes as well, especially early
- 32:07Speaker 3: because Johnson is a late starter. But I think Silva's
- 32:10Speaker 3: biggest edge in this fight would be his wrestling and grappling.
- 32:13Speaker 3: He doesn't do it as much as I would like
- 32:15Speaker 3: him to, but I think this is the matchup where
- 32:16Speaker 3: he should at least mix it in a little bit.
- 32:19Speaker 3: And then Johnson would I think the longer this fight
- 32:23Speaker 3: goes and it stays on the feet, then it would
- 32:25Speaker 3: help him. So maybe second in the third round he
- 32:28Speaker 3: wins the striking strikes at a high pace, he could
- 32:31Speaker 3: put up ninety points or so. So I'm interested. But
- 32:34Speaker 3: that is my issue. Is I have it as a
- 32:36Speaker 3: three star for that reason. If Bruno wins the first
- 32:40Speaker 3: half of the fight and then Johnson wins the second
- 32:42Speaker 3: half of the fight, do we get a big score
- 32:44Speaker 3: from either one of them, I don't really know. So
- 32:48Speaker 3: right now it's a three star, but I'm leaning closer
- 32:50Speaker 3: to a four star than a two star on this one.
- 32:53Speaker 3: I like both sides of it. Preferred play is going
- 32:56Speaker 3: to be Silva because he's the underdog, but it looks
- 32:59Speaker 3: like the fields to like that as well, so I
- 33:01Speaker 3: don't really hate Johnson as a contrarian favorite play.
- 33:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Johnson's definitely gonna be contrarian. Plus two
- 33:09Speaker 2: sixty five inside the distance not terrible, not great for
- 33:13Speaker 2: the price, but not terrible. The problem is with him,
- 33:15Speaker 2: like his run one prop plus six twenty five, it's
- 33:19Speaker 2: really like when he wins, it's usually he has the
- 33:21Speaker 2: cardio advantage. Silver will slow down, but then he can
- 33:24Speaker 2: put numbers on Silva and get a late finish like
- 33:27Speaker 2: that's live and if he does that, it definitely will score.
- 33:30Speaker 2: But at eighty seven hundred, you're in a pretty strong
- 33:33Speaker 2: tier when you go just a couple hundred more to
- 33:36Speaker 2: some of these guys that have pretty safe, big big
- 33:39Speaker 2: boy upside. I like Jillian Robertson for less. I like
- 33:42Speaker 2: plenty of other ones for more, and chalk your lineups.
- 33:44Speaker 2: I'm fine with Johnson. The more the line closes, the
- 33:47Speaker 2: more higher own Silva is, which then the more appeal
- 33:50Speaker 2: Johnson is for me because more leverage off of them.
- 33:53Speaker 2: But I still prefer Silva, even expecting him to be
- 33:56Speaker 2: higher owned to give me Silva as the dog. We
- 33:59Speaker 2: play a salary base game and we need some dogs
- 34:01Speaker 2: down here, and silas definitely one I have interest in.
- 34:05Speaker 1: We'll keep it rolling next fight on the card.
- 34:07Speaker 2: This is where, in my opinion, that we start getting
- 34:10Speaker 2: into the best fights like I'm gonna I'm gonna be
- 34:11Speaker 2: overweight these next couple of fights and hope we see
- 34:14Speaker 2: multiple on the winner this one Vitor Patrino minus two
- 34:17Speaker 2: thirty seven Stephen Asplin plus two h two minus two
- 34:20Speaker 2: fifty for this fight to finish, Patrino minus won fifteen
- 34:23Speaker 2: inside the distance Asplain plus three twenty five. Patrino can strike,
- 34:28Speaker 2: so I don't want to take it away from him,
- 34:29Speaker 2: but I'm looking at this as kind of clash the styles.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Patrino gonna go out there and try and wrestle, Aspen,
- 34:34Speaker 2: gonna try and stuff takedowns, keep it on the feet.
- 34:37Speaker 1: I mean a shout out to Asplin.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Awesome on the mic, his last performance was amazing, volume
- 34:42Speaker 2: for days.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Kind of surprised that.
- 34:44Speaker 2: USC He's throwing them as a guy like Patrino and
- 34:47Speaker 2: putting him as a big dog.
- 34:48Speaker 1: I thought they kind of wanted to build him up again.
- 34:50Speaker 1: He crushed it on the mic.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Was way overweight back in the day, has lost a
- 34:54Speaker 2: ton of weights. A good story that way, and again
- 34:57Speaker 2: he's fought in the UFC, but as Dana White Contender Series.
- 35:01Speaker 2: In UFC fight it says nineteen point nine significant strikes
- 35:04Speaker 2: per minute because of his fight last time. That's misleading,
- 35:08Speaker 2: so I didn't put it there. But it's not his debut.
- 35:10Speaker 2: I want to mention take it away Patrino and Asplin.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Patrino for sure in this one, but
- 35:17Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be an important one to target
- 35:19Speaker 3: because Asplin had like one hundred and thirty plus draftings
- 35:24Speaker 3: points in that last fight because he landed so many
- 35:27Speaker 3: strikes throughout just two rounds. It's like one hundred and
- 35:30Speaker 3: seventy significant strikes and two rounds, which is I mean,
- 35:34Speaker 3: which is out of Patrino's league. Patrino can't do that,
- 35:39Speaker 3: but Patrino is the more skilled striker. He's got the
- 35:44Speaker 3: more power in his hands for sure. I mean, he
- 35:46Speaker 3: also couldn't land one hundred and seventy strikes because his
- 35:49Speaker 3: opponent would fall down before he landed hundred and seventy strikes.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Asplin did not have a whole lot of power behind
- 35:55Speaker 3: his strikes. And he also puts his chin up a
- 35:57Speaker 3: lot when he's throwing his hands. I like that he
- 36:00Speaker 3: throws a lot of elbows when he gets in close.
- 36:02Speaker 3: I mean I could see him cutting out Patrino or something,
- 36:05Speaker 3: maybe getting a stoppage that way, but I think he's
- 36:07Speaker 3: gonna get knocked out with one of those, with one
- 36:10Speaker 3: of those chin up punches, because Patrino hits a lot
- 36:13Speaker 3: harder than this guy. And as you mentioned, Patrino's gonna
- 36:16Speaker 3: be the wrestler as well. If either one of these
- 36:18Speaker 3: guys is looking to wrestle, I think it would be Patrino.
- 36:21Speaker 3: I just don't know that he's gonna be that worried
- 36:23Speaker 3: about the power coming at him for mask, and I
- 36:26Speaker 3: think he's gonna be head hunting in this one. I'm
- 36:28Speaker 3: gonna pick him to get the knockout. I like him
- 36:30Speaker 3: either way, knockout or wrestling. My issue would be that
- 36:34Speaker 3: we don't get a first round or a second round knockout,
- 36:36Speaker 3: and he's just not gonna have much volume behind him.
- 36:40Speaker 3: And then the longer this fight goes and it stays standing,
- 36:42Speaker 3: Patrino just won't score that many points. He he had
- 36:46Speaker 3: two knockdowns in his last fight, and I want to
- 36:48Speaker 3: say he had eighty something DraftKings points, which which isn't
- 36:51Speaker 3: my favorite thing to see. I would like to see
- 36:53Speaker 3: over one hundred points if you're getting two knockdowns along
- 36:56Speaker 3: the way. But this is my favorite fight on the
- 36:59Speaker 3: card to target it. Petrino definite overweight play for me,
- 37:04Speaker 3: and I'd imagine I'm around the field and ask when
- 37:06Speaker 3: just so I don't get completely burned if he does win,
- 37:09Speaker 3: because he'll score if he does win.
- 37:11Speaker 2: They'll definitely score if he does win. So you don't
- 37:13Speaker 2: think Petrino's gonna come out with like a wrestling game plan. Obviously,
- 37:16Speaker 2: I don't think he's shooting a takedown like Jelton. I'll
- 37:18Speaker 2: made in the first ten seconds.
- 37:20Speaker 3: But I kind of say a couple one where it's
- 37:23Speaker 3: like you eat three strikes to give your big one.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Okay, I mean if when you say it like that,
- 37:29Speaker 2: if I knew that'd be the case, I Patrino would
- 37:33Speaker 2: would fall down the list for me in terms of spends,
- 37:35Speaker 2: because I do think he's gonna be very popular, and
- 37:38Speaker 2: I just I mean, give me the I don't you
- 37:41Speaker 2: always say you don't want to rely on guys knocking
- 37:43Speaker 2: someone out like Asplin's not good off his back. It
- 37:46Speaker 2: seems like he's a big guy. Once he's on his back,
- 37:48Speaker 2: he'll struggle to get up. It feels so easy just
- 37:51Speaker 2: for him to go and shoot a double leg or
- 37:54Speaker 2: like mixing high and go low, like.
- 37:57Speaker 3: Maybe if the knockout's not there, then we start shooting.
- 38:00Speaker 3: I think original game plan. Let's try and take this.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Guy set off dang all right. If that's the case,
- 38:05Speaker 2: Aspen's my preferred side. Again, part of that is just
- 38:08Speaker 2: because there's a lot of higher there's a lot of
- 38:10Speaker 2: great upside fighters in the in the higher tier, whereas
- 38:13Speaker 2: the lower tier has some, but it's harder to come by.
- 38:16Speaker 2: If Aspen wins and scores eighty eight, I would take
- 38:19Speaker 2: that over if Patrino scores one hundred in a win. Again,
- 38:22Speaker 2: one hundred definitely could be enough, but I would eighty
- 38:25Speaker 2: eight is more likely in the lower tier to get there.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Let's check Patrino in round one real quick plus two
- 38:31Speaker 2: to sixty, which is solid plus two seventy five at open.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Not the best on the card, definitely not the worst.
- 38:37Speaker 2: A solid fight to target though. Again, these next couple
- 38:39Speaker 2: of fights I definitely have interest in for DFS and
- 38:42Speaker 2: hope multiple are optimal. If Anthony Smith can finish Patrino,
- 38:47Speaker 2: yeah absolutely, Anthony Smith, Aspen.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Your favorite dog, all right, let's keep it rolling.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Next fight on the card, Marwin Rocky plus I definitely
- 38:59Speaker 2: butchered the name. But Rahiki Rahiki, right, yeah, Reiky Reiki
- 39:04Speaker 2: minus two sixty taking Harry Hardwick plus two twenty Rihiki
- 39:08Speaker 2: actually minus two sixty, Rihiki plus two twenty Hardwak minus
- 39:12Speaker 2: two hundred for this fight to finish, Rihiki minus one
- 39:14Speaker 2: oh five inside the distance Hardwick plus three thirty five.
- 39:18Speaker 2: I'll let you take it away because I had it
- 39:20Speaker 2: a little higher than the three star at least if
- 39:22Speaker 2: I had to do it.
- 39:23Speaker 1: So what gives you some hesitancy in this one?
- 39:26Speaker 3: I guess yeah, maybe i'd say four star. I kind
- 39:29Speaker 3: of ran through that quick. I'm moving into a four
- 39:31Speaker 3: star now, but it's it's just more so. I don't
- 39:34Speaker 3: really believe in either of these guys, but I think
- 39:37Speaker 3: it probably will be a wild fight that Rahiki Contender
- 39:41Speaker 3: series fight. There were four knockdowns in there. I don't
- 39:45Speaker 3: think Hardwick has that same style though. Hardwick is more
- 39:49Speaker 3: of a pressure Cardio type of guy, where he's like
- 39:53Speaker 3: a Diz brother. He's gonna try and throw volume and
- 39:56Speaker 3: not give you a break. And the longer this goes,
- 40:00Speaker 3: I think it will play into Hardwick's favor. But Rahiki
- 40:03Speaker 3: is there the much more wild much more aggressive fighter,
- 40:07Speaker 3: the more dangerous striker as well. I think he's got
- 40:10Speaker 3: more tools in his striking toolbox. And I also think
- 40:16Speaker 3: Hardwick was probably exposed in his last fight, Like it
- 40:19Speaker 3: was a minute into the fight and this guy was
- 40:21Speaker 3: already done with lake kicks. Yeah, so I think it
- 40:24Speaker 3: would be really smart for Hiki to go out there
- 40:27Speaker 3: to start throwing late kicks early. And if that's the case,
- 40:30Speaker 3: the longer this fight goes, maybe it won't be Hardwick's favor,
- 40:34Speaker 3: But either way, I think we do have a good
- 40:36Speaker 3: chance at a score from either side. I just don't
- 40:39Speaker 3: expect what we saw from Contender series to happen. I
- 40:42Speaker 3: also don't expect Hardwick just get finished in the first
- 40:45Speaker 3: two minutes of the fight like he did in his
- 40:47Speaker 3: last fight. I think it'll be a lot slower paced
- 40:51Speaker 3: than both of those fights. So maybe closer to a
- 40:53Speaker 3: three star than a five star, but I think four stars, right.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:58Speaker 2: The reason I had more than a three like this
- 41:00Speaker 2: Rihiki dude twenty three years old, seven and zero making
- 41:03Speaker 2: his UFC debut. Again, the sample's kind of small, but
- 41:06Speaker 2: this due just looks like a wild man. And again
- 41:08Speaker 2: that last fight, like I think he's gonna come out
- 41:11Speaker 2: guns blazing and just put it on Hardwicic and make
- 41:13Speaker 2: Hardwick fight and at seven k if any favorites in
- 41:17Speaker 2: your face like that and making you do something, if
- 41:19Speaker 2: you win, you're forced to You're forced to land something,
- 41:22Speaker 2: You're forced to fight. And that's why his inside the
- 41:25Speaker 2: distance prop has been going the right way. It opened
- 41:28Speaker 2: plus three eighty five now plus three thirty five. He
- 41:31Speaker 2: looked terrible last fight, light kicks all that. But if
- 41:33Speaker 2: he wins, I mean, I think it's a good chance
- 41:36Speaker 2: it to finish because I think Rahiki is gonna be
- 41:37Speaker 2: in his face, and if Hardwick is gun shy and
- 41:41Speaker 2: just lost, Rahiki I think has a lot of ways
- 41:43Speaker 2: to put it on him as well, by finish or
- 41:46Speaker 2: by a ko Rahek plus one thirty five Hardwicke by
- 41:50Speaker 2: Ko plus five twenty five Rihiki by saw but plus
- 41:53Speaker 2: six fifty, which opened plus eight hundred Hardwick plus eleven hundred.
- 41:58Speaker 2: I think maybe Rihiki can mix it takedown or something,
- 42:01Speaker 2: but I think it's mainly on the feet. I think
- 42:03Speaker 2: it's gonna be a high paced fight and it's minus
- 42:06Speaker 2: two hundred to finish, which is good. So again just
- 42:08Speaker 2: like that last fight, just like this next fight. I'm
- 42:11Speaker 2: gonna be hoping these fights are optimal later in the car.
- 42:14Speaker 2: Less exposure early, more exposure late for me. And I
- 42:19Speaker 2: don't even know if I have a preferred side. Actually,
- 42:21Speaker 2: when it's all said and done, I'd love to be
- 42:23Speaker 2: overweight on both and feel pretty good about it. Did
- 42:27Speaker 2: toe tab we get a refund? Morikawa? No refunds? Yeah,
- 42:32Speaker 2: there's no, there's no refunds. He teed off DraftKings is
- 42:36Speaker 2: not not going to get refunds, all right, next fight
- 42:39Speaker 2: on the car. Very unfortunate situation, though a lot of
- 42:41Speaker 2: more cow over here can't do anything.
- 42:43Speaker 1: When he pulls his back after one hole when he
- 42:45Speaker 1: goes out there, there's there's no scene in the future.
- 42:48Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was in there.
- 42:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured. I mean, it's it's rough.
- 42:53Speaker 2: I got a lot of more kaw too, but hey,
- 42:55Speaker 2: it's part of the game we play. If you followed MMA,
- 42:58Speaker 2: if you're in the MMA streets, you guys is probably
- 43:00Speaker 2: no you've seen some Macy Barber doesn't even walk out.
- 43:04Speaker 2: This guy has a stroke or like a seizure, like
- 43:07Speaker 2: this guy won every fight or so.
- 43:09Speaker 1: Hudo gets kicked in the nuts and it's over. Dumascus
- 43:13Speaker 1: kicked in the nuts. Whatever it is. Yeah, more college situation.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Very unfortunate for sure though, especially because Naple last week.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Yeah, we could go on and on. This is an
- 43:23Speaker 2: MMA show, though four fights left an absolute banger. Jose
- 43:28Speaker 2: Delgatto minus four hundred Andre Pheeley plus three thirty minus
- 43:32Speaker 2: two fifty for this fight to finish. Delgatto minus one
- 43:34Speaker 2: seventy inside the distance Phelly plus five twenty five. Anytime
- 43:38Speaker 2: you see the name Jose Delgado, he's gonna have a
- 43:41Speaker 2: green tag next to his name. More than likely all gas,
- 43:44Speaker 2: no breaks, as you can see, eight point two to
- 43:46Speaker 2: two significant strikes per minute, one point eight one takedowns
- 43:50Speaker 2: finish all ten of his fights. I mean, the dude's
- 43:52Speaker 2: just good at the end of the day, and he
- 43:54Speaker 2: is aggressive. So you have zero starts for Andre phel
- 43:59Speaker 2: I'll let you talk about why, but let me just
- 44:01Speaker 2: throw to you on this. If Philly wins like that,
- 44:05Speaker 2: does he score? How does he win like running around
- 44:09Speaker 2: the cage out pointing him or is he just going
- 44:10Speaker 2: to catch Delgatto?
- 44:13Speaker 3: Well, I just really don't see him winning. I actually
- 44:16Speaker 3: bet against del Gatto in his last fight. I picked
- 44:18Speaker 3: Nathaniel Wood as an underdog, and I think that would
- 44:21Speaker 3: have to be the same type of style Pheely would
- 44:24Speaker 3: have to take where he passed to Weather in early
- 44:26Speaker 3: storm come back and win the second and the third.
- 44:30Speaker 3: But I think that del Gotta learned that lesson already
- 44:32Speaker 3: and he's not gonna lose it twice. So I'm on
- 44:35Speaker 3: the del Gatto side of this one. I think early
- 44:37Speaker 3: it's going to be all del Gatto, especially on the feet,
- 44:40Speaker 3: but he could also hurt Peely and then submit him
- 44:43Speaker 3: on the ground. The wrestling the longer this fight goes
- 44:47Speaker 3: could shift into the Phey side. But I mean, if
- 44:52Speaker 3: he wins, I think Phelly could score well. I'm just
- 44:54Speaker 3: I don't think I'm willing to go there when I'm
- 44:56Speaker 3: going to Oki instead for a hundred cheaper. Maybe if
- 45:00Speaker 3: there's a line I don't know, maybe I'll get to
- 45:02Speaker 3: some feeling, but I feel like with limited lineups, there's
- 45:05Speaker 3: other people I want to get to instead, especially when
- 45:08Speaker 3: I'm really confident in del Gatto in this matchup, I'm
- 45:12Speaker 3: picking him to get an early finish. I think that
- 45:15Speaker 3: even if it does go the distance, he'll do enough
- 45:17Speaker 3: to get his hand raised this time. But if it
- 45:21Speaker 3: goes the distance, maybe Phely wins a third round and
- 45:23Speaker 3: then he takes away a lot of points that del
- 45:25Speaker 3: Gatto could have scored. But yeah, I would think for
- 45:29Speaker 3: del Gatto to score one hundred and ten points it
- 45:32Speaker 3: has to be a first or a second round finish.
- 45:35Speaker 3: He's not really a high volume wrestler where he's gonna
- 45:38Speaker 3: score great in the decision in my opinion.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think del Gotta is one of
- 45:42Speaker 2: the best plays on the slate. I think ownership will
- 45:45Speaker 2: reflect that he's taking money minus three forty on Monday
- 45:47Speaker 2: now minus four hundred. But why I want feeling it's
- 45:50Speaker 2: kind of like I said, he's del Gotto's just so
- 45:53Speaker 2: all gassed, no brakes type of guy where he's gonna
- 45:55Speaker 2: force Phelly to fight. Kind of like I said, with
- 45:57Speaker 2: the Hardwick stuff, you do get a talented fighter. I
- 46:00Speaker 2: feel he's been around UFC VET, He's fought everybody, So
- 46:03Speaker 2: maybe Delgado gets a little over aggressive and he catches
- 46:06Speaker 2: him that way. It mainly comes down to just s
- 46:08Speaker 2: Doug got on one of the most popular fighters on
- 46:10Speaker 2: the slate. Pheely gonna be very low owned this fight's
- 46:13Speaker 2: expected to finish twenty three point three percent. Is the
- 46:16Speaker 2: win equity for Philly at plus three thirty. I think
- 46:19Speaker 2: he's going to be a lot lower than that, and
- 46:21Speaker 2: I think Delgatta will be a lot higher on So
- 46:24Speaker 2: kind of like what Checho's saying, MMA is dice. I mean,
- 46:27Speaker 2: it's a lot of guests work, it's a lot of
- 46:28Speaker 2: variance and volatility.
- 46:30Speaker 1: But when you win, how much do you win?
- 46:32Speaker 2: And that's why I think this sport more than almost
- 46:34Speaker 2: any Like the best people in the world might not
- 46:36Speaker 2: know anything about MMA, having some I know MMA fights
- 46:40Speaker 2: checks out, but roster construction where you find leverage, how
- 46:44Speaker 2: much you win when you win the dupe count.
- 46:46Speaker 1: It's a game theory sport more than anything. So yeah,
- 46:49Speaker 1: a lot of variants and volatility in the fights.
- 46:51Speaker 2: Not only does your guy have to win, the judges
- 46:53Speaker 2: have to get it right, they have to score enough
- 46:55Speaker 2: in their reigne blah blah blah. But roster construction, when
- 46:59Speaker 2: you win, how much let you win? Putting stuff together,
- 47:01Speaker 2: whether some teams are too chalky, summarn't enough this and
- 47:05Speaker 2: that is where the big edge comes out in MMA.
- 47:08Speaker 2: And yeah, I think Philly will be very under own,
- 47:10Speaker 2: not very under own. I think he'll be under ownd though,
- 47:13Speaker 2: mainly for the leverage off of delgado ownership and because
- 47:16Speaker 2: Delgado pushes the pace forcing Philly to fight. Is how
- 47:19Speaker 2: I see this going down? All right, three fights left,
- 47:23Speaker 2: Umar Sai taking that Eon Cutalaba minus two seventy five
- 47:28Speaker 2: C minus two seventy five is CE plus two thirty
- 47:31Speaker 2: five is Qutalaba minus two hundred for this fight to
- 47:33Speaker 2: finish see minus one ten inside the distance Qutalaba plus
- 47:37Speaker 2: three fifty five. Usually when I see the name eonqut Talaba,
- 47:41Speaker 2: I want a lot of exposure to.
- 47:43Speaker 1: The fight in DFS.
- 47:44Speaker 2: The dude is he's a wild man too, uh four
- 47:47Speaker 2: point two six ineficns strikes per minute, three point seven
- 47:49Speaker 2: to seven takedowns per fifteen minutes. I'm not sure he's
- 47:52Speaker 2: gonna wrestle in this one or try much though, because
- 47:55Speaker 2: I think sees the better wrestler.
- 47:57Speaker 1: Do you agree with that take? And how do you
- 47:58Speaker 1: see this fight going?
- 48:00Speaker 3: Yeah? I think really sees probably better everywhere, maybe not
- 48:05Speaker 3: first round aggression q Laba. He is a wild man,
- 48:09Speaker 3: like you said, and he's got a lot of strength,
- 48:10Speaker 3: a lot of knockout power, but I also feel like
- 48:13Speaker 3: he hasn't fought with that same aggression lately, and it's
- 48:16Speaker 3: almost like he's more afraid to get hit than he
- 48:18Speaker 3: used to be. Yeah, so I could see either one
- 48:21Speaker 3: of these guys getting a first round knockout. The longer
- 48:25Speaker 3: the fight goes, though, the slower the volume is going
- 48:27Speaker 3: to be on both sides. So I think that wrestling
- 48:30Speaker 3: would be important for c to score well, and he
- 48:33Speaker 3: is going to have the wrestling edge in every round
- 48:35Speaker 3: in this fight. I think it would be smarter him
- 48:37Speaker 3: to use it. He's really got nothing to worry about
- 48:40Speaker 3: with q Lob off his back, so that's his safest
- 48:43Speaker 3: game plan. I'm on the Sea side for sure, but
- 48:46Speaker 3: if q Laba wins, he's similar to an Aspalind where
- 48:50Speaker 3: I feel good about him scoring well at seventy four
- 48:53Speaker 3: hundred dollars, So I want to be at least around
- 48:55Speaker 3: the field on q Laba if not overweight. But see
- 48:59Speaker 3: is my play. I'm sure I'll be able to wait
- 49:01Speaker 3: to him.
- 49:02Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 49:02Speaker 2: I like see plus two to fifteen round one open
- 49:05Speaker 2: plus two seventy five like for instance, and we're gonna
- 49:09Speaker 2: talk about this valet Host fight in a sec. But
- 49:11Speaker 2: he's plus three seventy five in round one Vallejos with
- 49:13Speaker 2: no wrestling upside. So I like, I give me seeover
- 49:16Speaker 2: Vallejos in a vacuum for eight hundred in terms of upside.
- 49:20Speaker 2: Give me RICKI give me Delgado, give me Patrino. Like,
- 49:25Speaker 2: that's kind of why I'm talking. We're gonna get to Valleos.
- 49:27Speaker 2: I'm tipping my hand. But as the most expensive fighter
- 49:29Speaker 2: with five rounds, he's naturally gonna get a good amount
- 49:32Speaker 2: of ownership. And I definitely prefer a lot of these
- 49:35Speaker 2: other fighters that we're talking about for cheaper.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's how I see it right there.
- 49:40Speaker 2: But two fights left Comaine event time a rebooking from
- 49:44Speaker 2: like December thirteenth. The last card of a yeah, supposed
- 49:48Speaker 2: to be the last card of last year out was
- 49:52Speaker 2: Amanda laimos On on Saturday on fight day.
- 49:56Speaker 1: So now we get a rebooking.
- 49:57Speaker 2: Now, Gillian Robertson my minus or a two hundred taken
- 50:01Speaker 2: on the man of Lamos plus one seventy. Let's see
- 50:05Speaker 2: this fight is plus one twenty to finish. Robertson plus
- 50:08Speaker 2: one eighty inside the distance, Lamos plus five hundred. So
- 50:12Speaker 2: looking at this one on again twelve thirteen, Lamos was
- 50:17Speaker 2: out for medical reasons. What I found very interesting in
- 50:20Speaker 2: this fight was, let's see, it was minus I gotta
- 50:26Speaker 2: make sure I get this rights minus one fifty five
- 50:29Speaker 2: was this fight to finish on that Saturday? Now it's
- 50:32Speaker 2: plus one twenty. All that tells me is I mean
- 50:36Speaker 2: people had inside info about the Lamas side and was
- 50:39Speaker 2: just hammering the under because there's by no means like,
- 50:43Speaker 2: why would that fight have been minus won fifty five
- 50:45Speaker 2: to finish then and now plus one twenty to finish today?
- 50:49Speaker 1: Like do you have any take on that stuff?
- 50:50Speaker 2: I mean, the odds are pretty similar to that fight
- 50:53Speaker 2: and all that, but plus one twenty to finish versus
- 50:56Speaker 2: minus one fifty five. I mean that's night and day
- 50:58Speaker 2: in terms of how much I love the fight. I'm
- 51:00Speaker 2: still playing with robertson the grappler, Lamo is the striker.
- 51:03Speaker 2: But I mean that's almost just telling me there's inside
- 51:05Speaker 2: info people have that. Yeah, Lamosis medically not doing well,
- 51:10Speaker 2: this fight's more than likely to finish and yeah, so
- 51:13Speaker 2: any thoughts on that?
- 51:14Speaker 1: And then what about this fight?
- 51:15Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I mean I didn't even think about that.
- 51:17Speaker 3: I didn't know it was that big of a difference,
- 51:19Speaker 3: But I mean, really, it makes me like the Lameos
- 51:22Speaker 3: side less. How's the Lamos gonna score well? If this
- 51:25Speaker 3: fight does go the distance, I think it's if it's
- 51:29Speaker 3: if Lameos wins, it's gonna be a knockout because Robertson
- 51:32Speaker 3: can't stand with her. I think she would just destroy
- 51:35Speaker 3: her and it would be a knockout at some point.
- 51:37Speaker 3: But it could also be completely one sided on the ground,
- 51:41Speaker 3: where Robertson can get takedowns and that's that's a wrap
- 51:44Speaker 3: for the round or for the fight. On the Lameo side,
- 51:47Speaker 3: Robertson's live for submission in any round, and she's also
- 51:50Speaker 3: live for like a thirty twenty five type of win
- 51:53Speaker 3: if she wants to have like thirteen minutes of ground
- 51:57Speaker 3: control time in this fight. So I'm to be heavy
- 52:00Speaker 3: on the Robertson side. I think that she is almost
- 52:03Speaker 3: always the side I'm always heavy on her in DraftKings
- 52:06Speaker 3: because of her style. She almost in every single matchup
- 52:09Speaker 3: is gonna need to wrestle and grapple, but in this
- 52:12Speaker 3: one more so than all the others, because this is
- 52:15Speaker 3: real danger on the feet and you don't want to
- 52:17Speaker 3: toy around with Lamos, So shoot early and often. If
- 52:20Speaker 3: it doesn't work, you keep shooting, and eventually I think
- 52:24Speaker 3: she'll get it, and I'm picking her to get a submission.
- 52:26Speaker 3: So maybe the the minus one fifty five as the
- 52:30Speaker 3: side I prefer.
- 52:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm on Robertson too.
- 52:35Speaker 2: In the set for DFS, her wins from twenty seventeen
- 52:39Speaker 2: till now one oh seven, one hundred, one O two,
- 52:41Speaker 2: one oh five, one oh five, ninety eight, one sixteen,
- 52:44Speaker 2: ninety four, ninety two, one ten, one oh six, ninety six,
- 52:47Speaker 2: ninety seven. I mean, that's that's really really good. And
- 52:51Speaker 2: Lamo's like you, Saiven, she hits like a man at
- 52:53Speaker 2: the end of the day. She's got some real power,
- 52:55Speaker 2: which kind of did surprise me seeing her only plus
- 52:58Speaker 2: five hundred or inide the distance.
- 53:01Speaker 1: I think she's a.
- 53:01Speaker 2: Little more alive, especially early, like Robertson's gonna shoot in
- 53:05Speaker 2: that uppercut.
- 53:06Speaker 1: If she lands, she definitely has power.
- 53:08Speaker 2: But the problem is it's almost like round one or bust,
- 53:11Speaker 2: it feels because once Robertson gets on top, Lamos probably
- 53:15Speaker 2: isn't getting up.
- 53:16Speaker 1: Then she's more tired, then she's more compromise. And it's
- 53:19Speaker 1: just a snowball effect after that. So yeah, like if
- 53:22Speaker 1: I had to bet Lamos, I'd probably just bet round one.
- 53:25Speaker 2: I'll play some in dfs, mainly due to the lack
- 53:27Speaker 2: of mid tier ish value that I love plus one
- 53:31Speaker 2: seventy to win, but Robertson is my preferred side.
- 53:34Speaker 1: That is for sure.

- 54:41Speaker 2: biggest favorite or big highest price second biggest favorite. Kevin
- 54:45Speaker 2: Valay hosts minus five fifty, Josh Emmett plus four hundred
- 54:48Speaker 2: minus two hundred for this fight to finish ballet host
- 54:51Speaker 2: minus one sixty five inside the distance Emmett plus five
- 54:54Speaker 2: fifty Pallet Host in round one plus three seventy five.
- 54:58Speaker 2: I already tip my hand multiple times. I will be
- 55:01Speaker 2: way underweight this fight. No, Josh Emmett's very little. Kevin
- 55:05Speaker 2: Valley host I think he's over owned due to him
- 55:08Speaker 2: being the main event favorite and he's just a striker.
- 55:11Speaker 1: Emmittt's tough.
- 55:12Speaker 2: The fight's supposed to go over two and a half.
- 55:14Speaker 2: Let's see over two and a half is over three
- 55:18Speaker 2: and a half? Is minus one twenty one? Like, I mean,
- 55:20Speaker 2: Elliott Taporia put a beating and all that on Josh Emmett,
- 55:23Speaker 2: But like how much volume is is Bleos really going
- 55:25Speaker 2: to land if he's going to get there in like
- 55:27Speaker 2: a five round decision or something.
- 55:29Speaker 1: At ninety six.
- 55:30Speaker 2: Hundred, I just think there's way better options that are cheaper,
- 55:33Speaker 2: that are lower owned.
- 55:34Speaker 1: For the most part.
- 55:35Speaker 2: Yeah, it's if I had a rate a main event
- 55:39Speaker 2: like all year, this would probably be one. Like for
- 55:42Speaker 2: interest in dfs, this very well might be my least
- 55:45Speaker 2: interest I've had in any main event for a very
- 55:47Speaker 2: very long time, because I think emmet gets waxed and
- 55:50Speaker 2: ninety six hundred Vallejos, I don't think it's really good,
- 55:53Speaker 2: So yeah, I won't have much of this. I hope
- 55:55Speaker 2: I'm at the top of the leader boards when it
- 55:58Speaker 2: comes into the main event, which you can't always say that,
- 56:01Speaker 2: what do you see?
- 56:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I moved it down to a three
- 56:05Speaker 3: star at the start of the pod when you said that,
- 56:07Speaker 3: I think it makes a lot of sense. I put
- 56:09Speaker 3: it as a four star because usually that means more
- 56:12Speaker 3: of a main event fade for me, But ninety six
- 56:16Speaker 3: hundred usually I think over ninety five hundred is a
- 56:19Speaker 3: little bit too expensive and I start thinking about fading
- 56:22Speaker 3: just because of the price. But this should be a
- 56:26Speaker 3: full on striking match for as long as it takes place.
- 56:29Speaker 3: And I do think we are probably needing a first
- 56:33Speaker 3: round knockout from Vallejos, so maybe I cap it at
- 56:36Speaker 3: his first round finish odd three seventy three seventy five.
- 56:43Speaker 3: So it's like.
- 56:46Speaker 2: Half half as half his ownership probably unless people.
- 56:50Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 56:52Speaker 2: We've had a lot of good viewership and by no
- 56:54Speaker 2: means to we move any markets.
- 56:56Speaker 1: Maybe people are seeing the same thing, but I don't know.
- 56:58Speaker 2: I guess I wouldn't be shot if the market comes
- 57:00Speaker 2: in a little heavy on Vallejos ownership when it's all said.
- 57:03Speaker 1: And done, maybe he's mid thirties. Even that, I don't
- 57:07Speaker 1: love it.
- 57:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, just with his high line, him being
- 57:11Speaker 3: the main event, I think he will naturally get a
- 57:13Speaker 3: bunch of ownership. But I moved it down a little
- 57:16Speaker 3: bit already from what I had it at like an
- 57:18Speaker 3: hour ago. I'll probably move it down a little bit again,
- 57:20Speaker 3: but it's gonna be Vallejos or passed for me. But
- 57:23Speaker 3: I do prefer, Yeah, maybe like a twenty twenty five
- 57:25Speaker 3: percent ownership in him, and then you're hoping that he's
- 57:30Speaker 3: not on it, and then you do get forty five
- 57:32Speaker 3: percent of the field on him that's killed off because
- 57:36Speaker 3: there's so many people I like below him that could
- 57:39Speaker 3: definitely outscore him. I mean, just Gillian Robertson for one
- 57:42Speaker 3: thousand dollars less. Yeah, I like more, and I'm definitely
- 57:45Speaker 3: gonna have more exposure to Robertson. But yeah, I think
- 57:49Speaker 3: it makes a ton of sense. I don't know that
- 57:50Speaker 3: I can go all the way down to a two
- 57:52Speaker 3: star on a main event, but yeah, if I if
- 57:54Speaker 3: I was gonna, I think this is one to do it.
- 57:56Speaker 3: The last time I did that would have been like
- 57:57Speaker 3: a Holly Olm main event. But there's too much power
- 58:01Speaker 3: in this fight for me to go two star. Inmate
- 58:03Speaker 3: is even live to get a first round knockout. I
- 58:05Speaker 3: have him as a one star because I won't have
- 58:08Speaker 3: enough lineups to get to him if I was im,
- 58:10Speaker 3: I mean, I'm definitely playing some inmate because he's got
- 58:13Speaker 3: that power. But I expect this to be a pretty
- 58:16Speaker 3: much one sided fight, especially minute wise until that knockout
- 58:19Speaker 3: takes place. But give me the layhouse to get a
- 58:22Speaker 3: not first round knockout and yeah, not be on the
- 58:25Speaker 3: optimal line. If I like that, let's fade that fight.
- 58:28Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely my stance. My stance is way under
- 58:32Speaker 2: main events, way under on the mid tier, and then
- 58:36Speaker 2: from there, I'm just hoping I'm getting the I mean,
- 58:37Speaker 2: you'll be able to see on the sleigh plane and
- 58:39Speaker 2: like we said, it's it's kind of clear the fights
- 58:41Speaker 2: that I like, the fights I don't like as much,
- 58:44Speaker 2: and I'll be hoping the fights I.
- 58:45Speaker 1: Like are on the optimal for the most part.
- 58:47Speaker 2: Any final thoughts from me, Big Marley always fun talking
- 58:50Speaker 2: some fights, and that meta Apex way way better than
- 58:53Speaker 2: the Apex prior. It seems a little more lively in there.
- 58:56Speaker 2: There's more people in there. Yeah, I mean, I like
- 58:59Speaker 2: real fans and live fans.
- 59:00Speaker 1: A little more than the APEX.
- 59:01Speaker 2: But I at least it's a better environment than it
- 59:03Speaker 2: was in my opinion, Like instead of fighting in a warehouse,
- 59:06Speaker 2: an empty warehouse, now you get you get a little
- 59:09Speaker 2: more pizzazz in there.
- 59:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it would have been cool to go
- 59:12Speaker 3: to like a warehouse, just be one of them. Yeah,
- 59:15Speaker 3: in there, I guess, but I never went to it.
- 59:18Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that with it being in the APEX,
- 59:21Speaker 3: it is going to be smaller cage that usually leads
- 59:24Speaker 3: to more violence or at least more action like a
- 59:27Speaker 3: lame most Robertson, They're gonna have to connect at some point.
- 59:30Speaker 3: I think that that always helps for DFS at being
- 59:34Speaker 3: in the smaller cage, So looking forward to it. I
- 59:36Speaker 3: think this is a good card for DFS. I'm not
- 59:39Speaker 3: sure how many lineups I'll play if I if it's
- 59:41Speaker 3: like one, then I'll be in that five five five.
- 59:44Speaker 3: But I've also thought about him and being this card,
- 59:46Speaker 3: so I'm not sure what I'm gonna end up doing,
- 59:47Speaker 3: but looking forward to it. Good luck to you title,
- 59:50Speaker 3: good luck to everybody listening.
