Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff. What is going on, everybody?
- 0:38Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday. Recording MMA show a day early. But yeah,
- 0:42Speaker 1: we got 12 fights this week at the Apex, 5 p.m.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Eastern Standard Time. Coming off a great UFC 333 event.
- 0:49Speaker 1: A lot of solid fights there. Usually we get a
- 0:51Speaker 1: little bit of a letdown the week after. Yeah, I
- 0:55Speaker 1: would say name value-wise, kind of a little bit of
- 0:57Speaker 1: a letdown. But DFS, I think it's, I mean, it's
- 1:01Speaker 1: a 12-fight card. It's a 12 fights, not nearly as
- 1:03Speaker 1: good as 13 or 14. Fingers crossed we keep all 12,
- 1:06Speaker 1: but only one favorite, minus 350 or greater, which is nice.
- 1:11Speaker 1: And as you can see, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
- 1:16Speaker 1: 9 of the 12 fights are expected to finish. So
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm expecting some violence. We also have two cheaper-priced fighters
- 1:23Speaker 1: in Moicano and Cody Durden, now the favorite. So I
- 1:27Speaker 1: think a pretty solid 12-fight DFS card. Prizes are solid,
- 1:31Speaker 1: all things considering this time of the year with college football.
- 1:34Speaker 1: and NFL going on, but bringing you in big Marley,
- 1:36Speaker 1: how are we doing this weekend? Oh, can you hear me?
- 1:41Speaker 2: Yeah, not too bad. Um, I think there's a lot of, uh, yeah,
- 1:45Speaker 2: I hear you. Can you hear me?
- 1:46Speaker 1: I got you. I got you.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Oh, you don't hear me.
- 1:50Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear you.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Hopefully everything will be okay.
- 1:52Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Um, but yeah, I think there's a lot of fights
- 1:55Speaker 2: on this card that could score. Well, I think there's
- 1:58Speaker 2: a lot of fights that could go either way. I
- 2:00Speaker 2: haven't messed around with too many lineups, but I was
- 2:02Speaker 2: trying to build one earlier and I couldn't, I couldn't
- 2:05Speaker 2: knock out one that I really loved for like a
- 2:07Speaker 2: single entry type of lineup. So probably another one where
- 2:10Speaker 2: I'm throwing 20 into the pool and hoping that my
- 2:12Speaker 2: roster construction could just get me there.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes some sense. Three, five star fight or four,
- 2:18Speaker 1: excuse me, four or five star fights for a big Marley.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Anytime you see that, that is usually a good sign
- 2:24Speaker 1: to two star fights. And I do agree with big
- 2:26Speaker 1: Marley in the sense of, I think it's, A lot
- 2:28Speaker 1: of clear fights to target, but I do think there's
- 2:30Speaker 1: some fighters that are going to be relatively low owned
- 2:34Speaker 1: that I think we can get on to get a
- 2:36Speaker 1: little difference. Any rules? Are you going to have 100%
- 2:39Speaker 1: of the main events? Any other rules that you would
- 2:42Speaker 1: make on this slate? Any broad slate for you?
- 2:45Speaker 2: No, definitely no rule for me. I even thought about
- 2:48Speaker 2: making the main event four star just because there's so
- 2:52Speaker 2: many good fights on this card, but I just went
- 2:54Speaker 2: with four or five stars instead. I think those are
- 2:56Speaker 2: just going to be Popular but important fights to target.
- 3:01Speaker 1: For sure. Yeah, I got really nothing more to add.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I just want to head on over to Ship a

- 3:50Speaker 1: Marley in the middle. All right, let's head on over.
- 3:54Speaker 1: To the stone, we are going bottom to top like always,
- 3:57Speaker 1: at least bottom to top with how the stone shows it.
- 4:00Speaker 1: And we have a great fight to target, as you
- 4:03Speaker 1: can see, a five-star fight for Big Marley. Zachary Reese,
- 4:06Speaker 1: minus 350, which is second biggest favorite on the card,
- 4:09Speaker 1: taking on Mickey Gall, plus 284. Minus 450 for this
- 4:13Speaker 1: fight to finish. Reese, minus 165 inside the distance. Gall,
- 4:17Speaker 1: plus 275. Reese in round one, plus... Where is it?
- 4:24Speaker 1: Plus 150. So I did want to note, though, on Tuesday,
- 4:28Speaker 1: when I put all these odds up, this fight was
- 4:29Speaker 1: minus 600 to finish. Now it's minus 450, which is
- 4:33Speaker 1: a decent bit of money coming in on the over.
- 4:36Speaker 1: We've also seen Zach Reiss take 30 cents since Tuesday.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I think Reiss will be one of the most popular
- 4:42Speaker 1: fighters on the slate. The mid-tier, like Nolan Moicano, and
- 4:47Speaker 1: I do think the Arosa fight gets a little bit,
- 4:49Speaker 1: but I think Zachary Reiss is the most the highest
- 4:52Speaker 1: owned spend up. And the reason for that is second
- 4:55Speaker 1: biggest favorite at minus 350 in a fight. That's the
- 4:58Speaker 1: most likely to finish at minus 450 and best inside
- 5:02Speaker 1: the distance prop and round one prop on the slate.
- 5:04Speaker 1: So everything leads to Zach Reese getting ownership. And when
- 5:08Speaker 1: you fight Mickey Gall, who's seven and seven, that is
- 5:10Speaker 1: also nice as well. I think Mickey Gall is an
- 5:12Speaker 1: elite tournament play though, for all those reasons. If he wins,
- 5:16Speaker 1: he'll score well, good inside the distance prop for his
- 5:18Speaker 1: price and a lot of leverage off of Zach Reese.
- 5:21Speaker 1: So Fire up Mickey Gall and Chalky teams. And, yeah,
- 5:25Speaker 1: play Zach Reese and other teams and find ways to
- 5:27Speaker 1: get different. Five-star fight. I could not agree more.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Reese is my favorite play on the slate.
- 5:34Speaker 2: If not, then he's one of them. We haven't seen
- 5:37Speaker 2: Gall in two years. We haven't seen him win in
- 5:40Speaker 2: five and a half years. And he's just a jujitsu
- 5:44Speaker 2: guy at this point. I don't think he has any
- 5:45Speaker 2: chance of striking with Reese. I don't think he's a
- 5:48Speaker 2: good wrestler either, but if he can get the fight
- 5:50Speaker 2: to the ground in the first round, I do think
- 5:52Speaker 2: he is live to choke out Reese. I just don't
- 5:55Speaker 2: think he is a good enough wrestler to consistently get
- 5:59Speaker 2: the fight to the ground. So if he's getting it
- 6:00Speaker 2: down early, but Reese is getting back up, I just
- 6:03Speaker 2: think it's going to be a wrap for Gall. If
- 6:08Speaker 2: the first three or four takedowns fail and he's stuck
- 6:10Speaker 2: on the feet, I think he's getting knocked out. So
- 6:13Speaker 2: I'm really high on Reese. I do think he gets
- 6:14Speaker 2: a first round knockout here. But I didn't put a
- 6:17Speaker 2: five-star on Reese and a one-star on Gall because I
- 6:20Speaker 2: am afraid of that round one submission from Gall. And
- 6:23Speaker 2: at 7,100, if he gets it, he's on the optimal lineup.
- 6:27Speaker 2: So I'm just going to be really heavy on this fight.
- 6:29Speaker 2: I'm not going to make a rule to be all in,
- 6:31Speaker 2: but I'm probably going to have at least 80% on
- 6:33Speaker 2: this fight with the majority of it being Reese lineups
- 6:37Speaker 2: and just a couple hedges with some hand-built Gall lineups
- 6:40Speaker 2: that I really like.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Yeah, Gall, just looking at, His odds, plus 284. Plus
- 6:46Speaker 1: 284 is 26%. His ownership might be 13%. When you
- 6:50Speaker 1: look at it that way, and of his 26% in
- 6:53Speaker 1: win equity, I mean, what, 25% of it? He's going
- 6:56Speaker 1: to be optimal? It's hard for me to see cases
- 6:59Speaker 1: where he wins this fight and isn't optimal since he'll
- 7:01Speaker 1: need to get it on the mat.
- 7:02Speaker 2: I also feel like Reese should be like minus 500.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I think there's still value.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Yeah, very fair. When you handicap it different than the
- 7:10Speaker 1: odds present, that makes some sense. All right, we'll keep
- 7:14Speaker 1: it rolling to the next fight on the card from
- 7:18Speaker 1: one big favorite to another, the biggest favorite on the card.
- 7:22Speaker 1: We are looking at, let me find the exact odds.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Where is it on fight odds? Oh, there it is.
- 7:31Speaker 1: It's the first one. Lucia Zabova, minus 750, taking on
- 7:36Speaker 1: Tanara Lisboa, plus 540, minus 170 for this fight to finish. Zabova,
- 7:41Speaker 1: minus 145 inside the distance. Lizboa, plus 750. Zaboa is opened. Well,
- 7:50Speaker 1: her round one prop opened plus 250, now plus 240.
- 7:53Speaker 1: But her inside the distance prop opened minus 115, now
- 7:57Speaker 1: minus 145. It also only gets more appealing when you
- 8:01Speaker 1: see she is a primary grappler. So she very well
- 8:04Speaker 1: could get this fight on the mat pretty quickly and
- 8:06Speaker 1: then finish it from there. With that being said, She
- 8:10Speaker 1: could score 110. It's still not be enough. She's also 9,600.
- 8:13Speaker 1: And on a card that with 12 fights, that's kind
- 8:16Speaker 1: of hard to get different. I think it's hard to
- 8:18Speaker 1: get different within those Lucia teams because that it's going
- 8:22Speaker 1: to be Lucia. Okay. Then it's going to be one
- 8:24Speaker 1: of Nolan Moicano. Okay. Then it's going to be one
- 8:26Speaker 1: of a Rosa or Lee. Then it's going to be
- 8:28Speaker 1: one of dirt and Osborne. And you're just going down
- 8:31Speaker 1: the same path as everyone. So I'm probably going to
- 8:34Speaker 1: be underweight. And I think I can go any Lucia
- 8:36Speaker 1: team down to Zachary Reese, any lose or, lucia team
- 8:39Speaker 1: go down to gene paul go down to jacoby smith
- 8:43Speaker 1: that's what i'll be looking to do on this slate
- 8:44Speaker 1: so i will be underweight and it's just pure game
- 8:47Speaker 1: theory 9600 is a lot of money and it's harder
- 8:50Speaker 1: to get different with her but i got no holes
- 8:52Speaker 1: to poke.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Nah um it's really just the price is the the
- 8:57Speaker 2: hold of poke i do think she's going to be
- 8:59Speaker 2: better than uh lisboa everywhere. I think the striking, uh,
- 9:03Speaker 2: she could win that as well. I think she's got
- 9:05Speaker 2: decent kicks. She's got solid knees and the clinch Lisboa
- 9:08Speaker 2: is just a low volume Muay Thai striker. So I'm
- 9:11Speaker 2: going to X her out at 6,600. I think her
- 9:14Speaker 2: best days are even behind her, but I just don't
- 9:16Speaker 2: like the matchup for her. I do think Lucia can
- 9:19Speaker 2: hang on the feet, but I think she can dominate
- 9:21Speaker 2: the fight on the ground. I believe she's a two
- 9:23Speaker 2: division champion and another organization. Um, and, and Lisboa is
- 9:28Speaker 2: nothing special in the UFC so I do think this
- 9:30Speaker 2: is a setup fight for Lucia to win I do
- 9:32Speaker 2: think she probably scores about 100 points but I just
- 9:35Speaker 2: don't think 100 is going to cut it at 9600
- 9:37Speaker 2: so that's why it's two star for.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Me totally agree I would have it probably the exact
- 9:42Speaker 1: same and I am not playing Lisboa as well said
- 9:45Speaker 1: that last week about Kobe thickness though and he got
- 9:48Speaker 1: the win so it's MMA anything happens any day I
- 9:52Speaker 1: don't even think thickness was on the winner though when
- 9:54Speaker 1: it was all said and done I could be wrong
- 9:55Speaker 1: but I do not believe he was. All right, let's
- 9:58Speaker 1: keep it rolling. Next fight on the card, Pierre Rodriguez,
- 10:01Speaker 1: minus 300, Talita Alencar, plus 247. Second most likely fight
- 10:06Speaker 1: to go the distance at minus 260. It's plus 200
- 10:10Speaker 1: to finish. Rodriguez plus 300 inside the distance. Alencar plus 550. No,
- 10:16Speaker 1: thank you for me for this fight. With that being said,
- 10:18Speaker 1: both girls do average over three takedowns per 15 minutes.
- 10:21Speaker 1: So do you see either one wrestling heavy and having success?
- 10:26Speaker 2: No, I think if Alan Carr wins, it would be
- 10:28Speaker 2: from her wrestling heavy. But Rodriguez is, I think she's
- 10:33Speaker 2: just as good of a wrestler. And I would guess
- 10:36Speaker 2: that she tries to keep the fight on the feet
- 10:39Speaker 2: and she's just a better boxer, the higher volume striker.
- 10:41Speaker 2: I think she would win a decision. and just not
- 10:44Speaker 2: make the optimal lineup at $ 9, 200. So I think both
- 10:47Speaker 2: of them can wrestle. You've got to like both of
- 10:49Speaker 2: their stats on the stone. I just think it kind
- 10:51Speaker 2: of cancels out with Rodriguez knowing Alan Carr wants to
- 10:55Speaker 2: wrestle and knowing that she could too. I think if
- 10:57Speaker 2: Rodriguez wants to just beat her to the punch, she
- 10:59Speaker 2: could do that, and that would be her chance to
- 11:01Speaker 2: score well. So for this fight, it would really just
- 11:04Speaker 2: be to get different on either side. I'm not really
- 11:07Speaker 2: clicking on either side of this fight when I'm starting
- 11:10Speaker 2: my hand builds. But if I end on either side
- 11:12Speaker 2: with my sixth piece, I'd be okay with it.
- 11:16Speaker 1: That makes sense. I plan on fading it in 20
- 11:18Speaker 1: entry and below, and it's exactly what you said. The
- 11:21Speaker 1: two wins Rodriguez has where she scored over 100, she
- 11:24Speaker 1: had seven and eight takedowns. And I totally agree with you.
- 11:27Speaker 1: I think Rodriguez is a clear better striker, and the
- 11:30Speaker 1: wrestling's close. So Alan Carr's path is to wrestle. Rodriguez
- 11:34Speaker 1: knows that. Why would she even mess with the wrestling
- 11:37Speaker 1: exchanges herself? Stuff takedowns, keep it at distance. And get
- 11:41Speaker 1: a decision win. And that's not going to score enough
- 11:44Speaker 1: at 9,200. So she's very contrarian. If you want to
- 11:47Speaker 1: do that as a way to get different. I prefer
- 11:49Speaker 1: some other things. Like Mickey Gall. I think I actually
- 11:53Speaker 1: prefer Alan Carr over Rodriguez. If choosing. But I prefer
- 11:56Speaker 1: Mickey Gall. We're going to get to Nick Klein after.
- 12:00Speaker 1: If those guys win. They're going to outscore any Alan
- 12:03Speaker 1: Carr win. I guess more than likely. The more I
- 12:05Speaker 1: think about it. Because Alan Carr should wrestle if she wins.
- 12:08Speaker 1: I think she's fine. So maybe I'll... I'll circle back
- 12:11Speaker 1: and put her underweight instead of fade. But I still
- 12:14Speaker 1: don't love it at 7K just because I do think
- 12:16Speaker 1: Rodriguez is better striker, and she very well might be
- 12:19Speaker 1: the better wrestler too, better everywhere. It is a big
- 12:21Speaker 1: step up in competition for Alan Carr. Not a fight
- 12:25Speaker 1: I want exposure to or much of. All right, let's
- 12:29Speaker 1: get to the next fight on the card. Definitely a
- 12:32Speaker 1: good one. We got Joseph Crop Shot taking on Nick Klein.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Minus 325 Crop Shot. Plus 265 is Klein. Minus 325
- 12:40Speaker 1: for this fight to finish. Crop Shot minus 170 inside
- 12:43Speaker 1: the distance. Klein plus 375. Crop Shot round one plus
- 12:49Speaker 1: 165 after opening plus 185. Yeah, actually, now that the
- 12:53Speaker 1: over has taken money in the Zach Reese fight, Crop
- 12:55Speaker 1: Shot has the best inside the distance prop on the slate.
- 12:59Speaker 1: It makes sense. Klein has, what, five minutes of cardio? Maybe.
- 13:03Speaker 1: And after that, he's just going to die. In that
- 13:05Speaker 1: first five minutes, though, he is definitely live and very
- 13:08Speaker 1: similar to Mickey Gall. If he wins, it's really hard
- 13:11Speaker 1: to see him not being optimal. So just looking at
- 13:14Speaker 1: his odds at, what, plus 265? Plus 265 is 27%.
- 13:19Speaker 1: His ownership might be half of that. I will hope
- 13:23Speaker 1: one of Nick Klein and Mickey Gall win this week.
- 13:27Speaker 1: And it kind of reminds me of that Alan Frye.
- 13:29Speaker 1: I forget whatever card that was. When two of the
- 13:31Speaker 1: three did win as big dogs, you eliminate dupes, you
- 13:34Speaker 1: don't give up any upside, and you get some leverage
- 13:37Speaker 1: off the chalky guys. But good fight to target. What
- 13:40Speaker 1: do you think of it?
- 13:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a great fight to target. I
- 13:43Speaker 2: think it's Reese and Gall all over again, just a
- 13:45Speaker 2: less talented version of it. Klein is live to get
- 13:49Speaker 2: a first-round submission. I think he's an okay grappler. Look
- 13:53Speaker 2: at him, bro. Um, but I just don't think he's
- 13:56Speaker 2: very good at really anything other than submission grappling. And
- 14:00Speaker 2: after the first round, I think he does start to
- 14:02Speaker 2: gas and crop shot probably better everywhere. Um, if he
- 14:06Speaker 2: can just survive the early submission storm from Klein, I
- 14:09Speaker 2: think he could submit Klein in any round. I think
- 14:12Speaker 2: he could knock them out in any round as well. Uh,
- 14:15Speaker 2: it's just, I would rather pay $ 200 less for Reese
- 14:18Speaker 2: if I had to decide between the two. Uh, but
- 14:21Speaker 2: I liked both of them quite a bit. I would
- 14:22Speaker 2: say this was close to a five-star fight, but it
- 14:26Speaker 2: was really that comparison that made it a four-star fight.
- 14:29Speaker 1: I do think Reese will be actually a decent bit
- 14:31Speaker 1: higher on than Crop Shot as well. Maybe Zachary Reese 43%,
- 14:35Speaker 1: Crop Shot 27% or something. So just because it's 12
- 14:39Speaker 1: fights looking at ownership, I prefer Crop Shot, and then
- 14:43Speaker 1: it makes me prefer Mickey Gall over Klein, again, because
- 14:46Speaker 1: of the leverage it does give. Can you hear that
- 14:48Speaker 1: fan going in the background?
- 14:49Speaker 2: No.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Can't hear any squeaks or none? No. All right, good.
- 14:53Speaker 1: This is turning into a sauna in here, which I like,
- 14:56Speaker 1: but not when I'm trying to do a show and
- 14:58Speaker 1: I'm starting to sweat. Let's go to one of the
- 15:01Speaker 1: best fights on the card, real life and DFS. Jung
- 15:05Speaker 1: Young Lee, minus 163. Julian Arosa, plus 139. Minus 400
- 15:10Speaker 1: for this fight to finish. Lee, minus 120 inside the distance. Arosa,
- 15:15Speaker 1: plus 200. Looking at line movement in this one, Lee
- 15:19Speaker 1: opened minus 300. One minute later was minus 175. 20
- 15:25Speaker 1: minutes later was minus 200. And ever since then, Julian
- 15:28Speaker 1: Arosa has taken some money. Looks like a clear clash
- 15:31Speaker 1: of styles for me. Jung Yong Lee on the feet.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I mean, Arosa's been knocked out, what, eight times? Absolute
- 15:38Speaker 1: no chin at this point. With that being said, Arosa,
- 15:41Speaker 1: he's not bad on the feet. He just can't take
- 15:43Speaker 1: a punch, so he's going to get probably looking up
- 15:45Speaker 1: at the stars if it stays there. But man, if
- 15:48Speaker 1: La Rosa can wrestle, which I think there is a chance,
- 15:50Speaker 1: he's very alive to win by submission. Open plus, of course,
- 15:55Speaker 1: it's not going to load now. He's plus 350 by submission.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I want to see what he opened at. I'll find
- 16:01Speaker 1: it at some point. But yeah, what are your thoughts?
- 16:03Speaker 1: I think a great fight to target. I prefer the
- 16:05Speaker 1: 1K savings with La Rosa. With that being said, though,
- 16:07Speaker 1: I think his ownership will be higher, maybe by a
- 16:10Speaker 1: decent bit, which does make me have quite a bit
- 16:13Speaker 1: of interest in Lee as well. Phenomenal fight.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think it's a great fight to target. Irosa,
- 16:19Speaker 2: just an awesome fighter for DFS because he's a high-volume
- 16:23Speaker 2: striker who can go a hard three rounds, and he's
- 16:26Speaker 2: also a better grappler who can submit anybody in the
- 16:30Speaker 2: first or even the third and score well with volume
- 16:33Speaker 2: leading up to it. So any Irosa scores live to
- 16:38Speaker 2: score well, I do think he could win this fight
- 16:40Speaker 2: on the feet. I think he could submit this guy
- 16:44Speaker 2: on the ground in any round as well. So I'm
- 16:46Speaker 2: definitely in on Arosa's skills. It's just his chin I
- 16:51Speaker 2: don't trust at all. He's been knocked out eight times already,
- 16:55Speaker 2: and this is his retirement fight. Retirement fights rarely go well.
- 17:00Speaker 2: So I just think this is kind of a setup
- 17:01Speaker 2: fight to get Lee looking good. I've heard a lot
- 17:03Speaker 2: of hype around this guy. We just haven't really seen
- 17:06Speaker 2: it yet, and I think he has the opportunity to
- 17:08Speaker 2: just blitz Erosa and get a first round knockout, possibly
- 17:13Speaker 2: a first minute knockout and break the slate. I wouldn't
- 17:16Speaker 2: put decent odds or anything on that, but I think
- 17:18Speaker 2: it's live. But if he can just connect one time,
- 17:22Speaker 2: Erosa's done, and then he's going to take off his gloves,
- 17:24Speaker 2: lay him in the cage. So I like both sides
- 17:26Speaker 2: of this fight. I picked Lee to win. So I
- 17:28Speaker 2: guess he is my preferred play if he's going to
- 17:32Speaker 2: be a decent amount lower owned and all the money's
- 17:34Speaker 2: coming in on Erosa. I just think the skills are
- 17:37Speaker 2: there for Erosa. The chin just isn't.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how much the ownership gap will be,
- 17:43Speaker 1: but I do expect Arosa to be higher on. That
- 17:45Speaker 1: 1K does go a long way, especially when you want
- 17:48Speaker 1: to play Zachary and other favorites. So I like both.
- 17:51Speaker 1: If Arosa wins, which he has a good money line,
- 17:53Speaker 1: it's hard to see him not scoring good. Lee, I
- 17:56Speaker 1: don't know, maybe he gets control in the first round,
- 17:58Speaker 1: gets a second-round knockout. I think that's his path not
- 18:00Speaker 1: to be optimal, but he still would have a chance
- 18:03Speaker 1: at 8,600. Almost any knockout is going to come with
- 18:06Speaker 1: a knockdown, at least one. you would think. So I
- 18:09Speaker 1: think a phenomenal fight and I did find he opened
- 18:11Speaker 1: plus 400 by submission is now plus three 50. So
- 18:15Speaker 1: that was the line movement there. What's going on, Michael Peterson.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Great to see you. Uh, and yeah, it's the MMA show,
- 18:21Speaker 1: but I know big Marley, big and the best ball streets.
- 18:24Speaker 1: I hope you did not have too much Jalen. No,
- 18:27Speaker 1: did you?
- 18:29Speaker 2: No, but I had too much of other people who
- 18:31Speaker 2: are dead for the year.
- 18:32Speaker 1: So we'll see how it goes. Who's that?
- 18:35Speaker 2: Jaden Reed, my main one.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Yeah. Is he confirmed for the year?
- 18:38Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's not good. All right. We'll keep
- 18:43Speaker 1: it rolling. No out for the year though, which is unfortunate.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Might save some Marvin Harrison, junior backers, tank Dell as well.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Might get a little bigger role, but tank Dell, that's
- 18:52Speaker 2: who I want.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. Unfortunate for me. I think
- 18:56Speaker 1: he was, I mean, he was looking to be a
- 18:58Speaker 1: great late round pick. No, he's dead, but I shouldn't
- 19:01Speaker 1: say he's dead. He has a, he has a toe,
- 19:03Speaker 1: but yeah.
- 19:04Speaker 2: All right.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Next fight on the card back to, Some MMA where, yeah,
- 19:08Speaker 1: people don't die, but it's definitely possible. Rodrigo, Senzonato, minus 170,
- 19:13Speaker 1: taking on Theodore. Bergen, plus 145. Another fight heavily favored
- 19:17Speaker 1: to finish at minus 325. Senzonato, plus 100 inside the distance. Bergen,
- 19:22Speaker 1: plus 195. Just looking at it, it looks like a
- 19:26Speaker 1: clash of styles to a sense. Senzonato, I think if
- 19:30Speaker 1: someone's going to wrestle or get a submission, it is him.
- 19:33Speaker 1: But he's also not dead on the feet as well.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Bergen will be trying to keep it on the feet though.
- 19:37Speaker 1: And if it is, I think it's pretty close to
- 19:39Speaker 1: a coin flip fight. So another great mid-tier fight. If
- 19:43Speaker 1: you are fading the main event in the mid-tier 8,200 8K,
- 19:47Speaker 1: I'm more than likely going to have one of Cincinnati Bergen,
- 19:50Speaker 1: one of Lee Arosa, and probably one of O'Day Cody Durden.
- 19:55Speaker 1: All fights right price in that range that have a
- 19:57Speaker 1: lot of upside. It's tough to fade the main event,
- 20:00Speaker 1: but when I do, I want to find fights in
- 20:02Speaker 1: the range that can outscore it. I think those are
- 20:05Speaker 1: the main three fights. that don't break the bank that
- 20:07Speaker 1: are able to do so. So yeah, good fight to
- 20:10Speaker 1: target for sure. Minus 225 to finish solid inside the
- 20:13Speaker 1: distance props on both sides. Do you have a preferred side?
- 20:17Speaker 1: I assume you're going to play both.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Um, I would say my preferred side is Berg, Bergeron
- 20:23Speaker 2: just because he's the underdog. I was going back and
- 20:25Speaker 2: forth on this fight. I just think it could play
- 20:27Speaker 2: out either way. It says an on does the BJJ
- 20:30Speaker 2: guy who, uh, who I would expect to want to
- 20:32Speaker 2: get it to the ground. He is live to, uh,
- 20:34Speaker 2: win by submission, or just win rounds and score decent
- 20:38Speaker 2: in a decision. But it would have to come through
- 20:40Speaker 2: the ground for him to score decent in a decision.
- 20:42Speaker 2: I think he could be an aggressive striker, but Bergen's
- 20:45Speaker 2: just going to be taller, longer, more technical. I think
- 20:49Speaker 2: if he keeps his fight at range, he's going to
- 20:51Speaker 2: be the one winning minutes, and I think he's alive
- 20:53Speaker 2: for a knockout. So I just went back and forth
- 20:56Speaker 2: on picking a winner, so that always leads me to
- 20:58Speaker 2: the underdog. And I picked him by knockout, so I
- 21:01Speaker 2: guess at $ 7, 700, I definitely like Bergen more. if he's
- 21:05Speaker 2: going to get a knockout, but I do think he
- 21:07Speaker 2: could win a decision and score 50 points and just,
- 21:11Speaker 2: it wouldn't even matter that he won at all. So
- 21:13Speaker 2: I'm not going to be too high on either side.
- 21:15Speaker 2: I just want to mix both of them in because
- 21:18Speaker 2: of any time a clash of styles fight is in play.
- 21:21Speaker 2: I just think both sides could score well. So I
- 21:24Speaker 2: like this fight in general, just don't like picking a
- 21:27Speaker 2: side or being heavy on.
- 21:28Speaker 1: On either guy. You think it being minus three 25
- 21:32Speaker 1: to finish is too hot. you would price it like
- 21:34Speaker 1: minus 200 or something.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Um, I mean, maybe, yeah, I would say I would
- 21:39Speaker 2: prefer it to be minus 200, but I could also
- 21:42Speaker 2: see either guy getting the finish. So I don't know.
- 21:44Speaker 2: I picked the knockout. So maybe I don't think that,
- 21:46Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Uh, how much do you think says the novel wrestles?
- 21:50Speaker 1: And do you think, uh, if he does, it comes early.
- 21:52Speaker 2: I think he should wrestle and would wrestle a decent amount.
- 21:56Speaker 2: I would give him a one and a half takedown prop. Yeah.
- 21:59Speaker 1: One and a half takedown prop in a fight minus
- 22:01Speaker 1: three 25 to finish. when he's plus 100, is pretty good.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I like this fight a good amount. Maybe it sounds
- 22:08Speaker 1: like a little more than you. I think Bergeron's my
- 22:10Speaker 1: preferred side, and it mainly comes down to he's 800 cheaper.
- 22:14Speaker 1: So you got a dog or a cat or something
- 22:16Speaker 1: next to you? Yeah, my dog's in here. Your dog.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Yeah, licking himself now. His nails were making all this
- 22:23Speaker 2: noise earlier. Now he's over here licking.
- 22:25Speaker 1: His arms and stuff. Do you just have one dog?
- 22:28Speaker 2: I have two, but the other one doesn't hang out
- 22:30Speaker 2: as much.
- 22:31Speaker 1: What's their names?
- 22:33Speaker 2: This one's Reggie. Reggie Miller, Reggie Wayne, Indiana guy.
- 22:37Speaker 1: The other one's Rosie. Rosie. All right. Not Reggie Bush?
- 22:42Speaker 2: No, not Reggie Bush.
- 22:43Speaker 1: All right. We'll keep it rolling. To the next fight
- 22:46Speaker 1: on the card. Appreciate everyone hanging out. All we ask
- 22:49Speaker 1: is the like button and subscribe button. Helps us out
- 22:52Speaker 1: a ton. Francis Marshall, minus 221, taking on Dakota Hope,
- 22:56Speaker 1: plus 186, plus 105 for this fight to finish. Marshall,
- 23:00Speaker 1: plus 180 inside the distance. Hope plus 425. I'll let
- 23:04Speaker 1: you break this one down first. Two stars and then
- 23:07Speaker 1: three stars on both of them. That shows me you
- 23:10Speaker 1: don't like this fight too much.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I really just don't care for this fight. I
- 23:14Speaker 2: think that it could be, especially in the first round,
- 23:18Speaker 2: I think it could kind of go either way. Hope
- 23:20Speaker 2: looks like the more aggressive, more dangerous striker in the first.
- 23:23Speaker 2: I think he could also land some aggressive takedowns early.
- 23:27Speaker 2: But Marshall is just the more proven, the more experienced,
- 23:30Speaker 2: the more technical fighter. fighter. I think really all around,
- 23:33Speaker 2: I think he's the more technical striker who I would trust, uh,
- 23:36Speaker 2: throughout the 15 minutes. And I also think over the
- 23:39Speaker 2: course of three rounds, he's going to be the better
- 23:41Speaker 2: wrestler and grappler. He just doesn't set a pace that
- 23:44Speaker 2: I would want to pay $ 8, 700 for, especially if he's
- 23:48Speaker 2: going to drop the first round, which I think he could.
- 23:51Speaker 2: So I have it as a two star cause I
- 23:52Speaker 2: really don't care for either side. I do think Marshall
- 23:55Speaker 2: could mix in takedowns. I'd probably give him at least
- 23:58Speaker 2: a one and a half takedown prop to, uh, But $ 8, 700,
- 24:01Speaker 2: I mean, I just don't love that. And Hope, I
- 24:04Speaker 2: guess when I don't care for either side, I'd rather
- 24:06Speaker 2: go to the underdog here. So Hope would be my
- 24:09Speaker 2: preferred play if I had to choose between the two.
- 24:11Speaker 2: But it's just one that I'm not looking to target
- 24:13Speaker 2: and more of a sixth spot in my lineup for
- 24:16Speaker 2: either guy.
- 24:17Speaker 1: That's fair. I have a little more interest, I think,
- 24:19Speaker 1: on both sides, mainly due to the fact of ownership
- 24:22Speaker 1: I expect to be low. And it doesn't break the bank.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Like Marshall, I would probably set his takedown prop at two,
- 24:28Speaker 1: maybe even two and a half. Why would he strike
- 24:32Speaker 1: in this matchup? He can, but Dakota Hope is the
- 24:35Speaker 1: clear striker or just a striker. And Marshall mixes in
- 24:40Speaker 1: his mixed martial arts a lot greater. So I think
- 24:43Speaker 1: a guy that has four, five, maybe even six takedown
- 24:46Speaker 1: upside at 8,700 and the cardio to hold that pace
- 24:50Speaker 1: is in play at relatively low ownership at 8,700. And
- 24:52Speaker 1: he's plus 180 inside the distance. That's 35.5% chance that
- 24:54Speaker 1: he wins this fight inside the distance. Looking at his
- 25:01Speaker 1: round one prop, plus 450 is not great. Excuse me.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Plus 450, that was 18%. And you might see Francis
- 25:08Speaker 1: Marshall at 18% on this card. So, yeah, I think
- 25:12Speaker 1: a second round win could be optimal. Third round domination
- 25:15Speaker 1: through wrestling could be. And then if his ownership is
- 25:18Speaker 1: the same as his round one prop, I have interest
- 25:21Speaker 1: in Francis Marshall. I will be using him as a
- 25:22Speaker 1: way to get different. I'm also picking him to win.
- 25:25Speaker 1: But Dakota Hope feels more like a floor play. To me,
- 25:29Speaker 1: if he wins, it's probably stuff and takedowns, landing 95
- 25:32Speaker 1: significant strikes, probably winning at 29-28, score 72. 72 might
- 25:38Speaker 1: be enough, though. If you're not picking many dogs on
- 25:40Speaker 1: this card or many dogs don't win, Dakota Hope can
- 25:43Speaker 1: get there at 72. So I'm fine with him. I
- 25:47Speaker 1: do prefer Marshall for 1,200 more, though, hoping he wrestles,
- 25:51Speaker 1: and I do expect him to wrestle. Next fight on
- 25:54Speaker 1: the card, five fights left. Gene Paul. Lebo's Neoni, minus 295.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Minus 295 for Gene Paul. Taking on Farman, Hassanov, plus 243.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Gene Paul, or this fight's minus 215 to finish. Gene Paul,
- 26:12Speaker 1: minus 145 inside the distance. Hassanov, plus 480. And there's
- 26:17Speaker 1: been a good amount of line movement in this one.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Gene Paul, open, minus 175. Now minus 295. This fight, open,
- 26:24Speaker 1: minus 180 to finish. Now minus 215. Gene Paul, open
- 26:28Speaker 1: plus 100 to finish, now minus 145. Everything is pointing
- 26:33Speaker 1: toward Gene Paul, and I agree. I think he's better
- 26:36Speaker 1: wherever the fight goes. Better cardio. I guess when they're fresh, maybe.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Hassanoff has better wrestling, but that's maybe. And LeBose Neone
- 26:46Speaker 1: is the better grappler. I think he can do whatever
- 26:49Speaker 1: he wants, and I think he's a very solid play
- 26:51Speaker 1: at 9K. Any Reese team can go LeBose Neone. Not
- 26:55Speaker 1: my favorite, probably, way to do it. Probably I would go,
- 26:58Speaker 1: I can play both of them, or I can play
- 27:00Speaker 1: Gall in the Bosniani, but I want to be overweight
- 27:03Speaker 1: at 9K. He is taking a lot of money, and
- 27:05Speaker 1: the under is taking money. I do not think Hasanov
- 27:08Speaker 1: has cardio to hold for 15 minutes. So, yeah, give
- 27:12Speaker 1: me Gene Paul. What about you?
- 27:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I like JPL here. I just think he is,
- 27:16Speaker 2: aside from wrestling, he's going to be better everywhere. Hasanov,
- 27:20Speaker 2: he scored 150 in his debut, landed, what, 17 takedowns
- 27:21Speaker 2: in that fight. But that's the style he's going to be,
- 27:28Speaker 2: I feel like, always. And that's what JPL is going
- 27:31Speaker 2: to have to deal with. It's going to be an
- 27:32Speaker 2: annoying fight where he probably is going to get taken
- 27:34Speaker 2: down a few times and have to get back up
- 27:38Speaker 2: and fight this guy's hands off of him again. It's
- 27:40Speaker 2: just going to be real annoying. That's the best way
- 27:43Speaker 2: to put it. And then I do think at some
- 27:45Speaker 2: point he's going to finish him. He's just going to
- 27:46Speaker 2: be the better striker. I think he's the way more
- 27:49Speaker 2: dangerous grappler of the two. And if Hasanov does start
- 27:52Speaker 2: to gas and JPL wants to mix in his own takedowns,
- 27:54Speaker 2: I think he could probably do that as well. JPL
- 27:57Speaker 2: is my preferred play as well. But if Hassanov is
- 28:00Speaker 2: going to win, it's going to be 8 plus, 10
- 28:03Speaker 2: plus takedowns, 10 minutes of top control time. It's going
- 28:06Speaker 2: to score well. I just don't think this is the
- 28:09Speaker 2: matchup for that style to really work.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Yeah, totally agree. I'm hoping people look at the game
- 28:15Speaker 1: log and he comes in a little over-owned. But you
- 28:18Speaker 1: can never cross off a fighter like Hassanov because if
- 28:21Speaker 1: he wins, he's almost surely optimal at 7,200. There's just
- 28:24Speaker 1: a lot of money going against him. I do not
- 28:27Speaker 1: think he will win. Let's go to the next fight,
- 28:30Speaker 1: the most likely fight to go the distance on the card.
- 28:33Speaker 1: We got Luana Santos taking on Yana Santos. Minus 325
- 28:38Speaker 1: for this fight to go the distance. Luana plus 300
- 28:42Speaker 1: inside the distance. Yana plus 800. We're talking another clash
- 28:46Speaker 1: of styles. Luana, the wrestler. Yana, the striker. Yeah, take
- 28:51Speaker 1: it away. Sam Santos wins. I was going to say
- 28:54Speaker 1: got to win, but I say that and it'll be
- 28:56Speaker 1: a draw.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely like Santos here. But no, I would
- 29:03Speaker 2: say it's favorite or pass for me if I'm starting
- 29:06Speaker 2: my lineup with a Santos because Luana is going to
- 29:09Speaker 2: have to be the one grappling and grappling heavy if
- 29:12Speaker 2: she's going to look like a minus 275 or whatever
- 29:15Speaker 2: she is favorite. Yana is the better striker, more technical,
- 29:20Speaker 2: more proven striker. higher volume. And if she can stuff takedowns,
- 29:24Speaker 2: I just think she's a live dog who could win
- 29:25Speaker 2: this fight. Uh, and if, if things are really going
- 29:29Speaker 2: her way, I think she could even land a couple
- 29:30Speaker 2: of takedowns and be fine in top control, kind of
- 29:33Speaker 2: score an extra couple of points for us that way.
- 29:35Speaker 2: It just wouldn't be smart, uh, taking the fight to
- 29:38Speaker 2: the ground where Luana wants it. Uh, so I think
- 29:41Speaker 2: Yana's in play as a live striking underdog, but Luana's
- 29:46Speaker 2: the one who has a high ceiling with three rounds
- 29:49Speaker 2: of possible grappling or a submission could come in any round,
- 29:53Speaker 2: but she's 10 years younger, a lot more physical, uh,
- 29:57Speaker 2: And I think she could have a lot of success
- 29:59Speaker 2: once the fight is on the ground. I think she
- 30:01Speaker 2: could either keep it there or get a submission. I
- 30:04Speaker 2: just think the hardest part for her will be getting
- 30:07Speaker 2: it from the feet to the mat. And if she
- 30:09Speaker 2: can't do that, I don't even know if she's going
- 30:12Speaker 2: to win this fight. So I'm okay with either side
- 30:14Speaker 2: of this one. But I do have a preferred play,
- 30:16Speaker 2: and that's Luana, because she could score 115 points where
- 30:20Speaker 2: I don't think that's in play for Yana.
- 30:23Speaker 1: I agree with everything you said, Yana. A live dog,
- 30:26Speaker 1: if she wins, 70 she might score, 62 she might score.
- 30:30Speaker 1: But if enough underdogs lose and all the favorites win,
- 30:34Speaker 1: 62 might be enough. And if you told me no
- 30:36Speaker 1: underdogs win on this card, I actually think Yana, I
- 30:40Speaker 1: was going to say she's one of the best because
- 30:41Speaker 1: the fight's so heavily to go the distance. But she
- 30:43Speaker 1: could spend so much time off her back where she
- 30:46Speaker 1: still doesn't score there. Luana? No. Yeah, I think this
- 30:50Speaker 1: is going to be relatively low-owned. You like it. I
- 30:52Speaker 1: like it a little bit, though, so I'm nervous some
- 30:54Speaker 1: people catch on. But if she wins, she needs a
- 30:58Speaker 1: finish is how I see it because all three of
- 31:00Speaker 1: her 100-plus wins in the UFC have come by finish.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Any decision win, she has not scored over 100. She's
- 31:07Speaker 1: plus 300 inside the distance, which is 25%, and I
- 31:11Speaker 1: think her ownership will be somewhere around 18%. So a
- 31:14Speaker 1: wrestling-heavy game plan, which Luana's going to come in at.
- 31:19Speaker 1: plus 300 to finish, which is higher than what her
- 31:22Speaker 1: ownership's going to be, in a range where Zach Reese
- 31:25Speaker 1: is going to be clicked a ton, that people are
- 31:26Speaker 1: going to go to that mid-tier. Jacoby Smith's going to
- 31:30Speaker 1: be a lot more popular, 8,800. Luana fits chalkier builds,
- 31:34Speaker 1: so I totally am in agreement with you. Luana, my
- 31:37Speaker 1: preferred play, the wrestler, hope she finishes, but I'll probably
- 31:40Speaker 1: cap Luana at 25%, so I won't be too, too overweight,
- 31:45Speaker 1: just because, again, she's never scored over 100. In a
- 31:48Speaker 1: decision win, and I don't think that changes this week
- 31:51Speaker 1: with a pretty loaded upper tier. Three fights left. Three
- 31:55Speaker 1: good fights to talk about. Mid-tier, where the cheaper fighter
- 31:59Speaker 1: in Cody Durden is now the favorite at minus 114.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Taking on Ode Osborne, minus 102. Minus 175 for this
- 32:06Speaker 1: fight to finish. Ode plus 120 inside the distance. Cody
- 32:10Speaker 1: plus 280. Talk about clash of styles. We got one
- 32:14Speaker 1: right here. The wrestler in Cody Durden. The striker in
- 32:17Speaker 1: O'Day Osborne. I'll let you take it away.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I like both sides of this fight as well.
- 32:24Speaker 2: I do think this is a fight we probably want
- 32:26Speaker 2: to target. Durden is the, I'd say the decision guy
- 32:32Speaker 2: in this one. He's going to be our harder worker.
- 32:35Speaker 2: He could land higher volume if it were stuck on
- 32:37Speaker 2: the feet, but we really want him to be wrestling
- 32:39Speaker 2: and he could wrestle hard for three full rounds and
- 32:42Speaker 2: score 110 plus points. As an underdog. So I definitely
- 32:47Speaker 2: like Durden. But we need him to survive. I think
- 32:50Speaker 2: Odeh is the more dangerous fighter. Really everywhere. I think
- 32:54Speaker 2: in round one. His submissions. He could grab a neck.
- 32:58Speaker 2: And just not even let Durden get going. I also
- 33:01Speaker 2: think he's the better striker. Really until he starts to
- 33:05Speaker 2: slow down. I think he's the better striker. And I
- 33:07Speaker 2: also think he's more dangerous. But he's just not high
- 33:10Speaker 2: volume enough. For him to score well without a finish either.
- 33:13Speaker 2: So if we get a finish from Odeh. He probably
- 33:16Speaker 2: scores well, especially if it's an early finish. But if
- 33:19Speaker 2: we don't get a finish from Odie, it probably means
- 33:22Speaker 2: Durden is winning and he's going to score well. So
- 33:25Speaker 2: with it priced right in the mid range, I think
- 33:27Speaker 2: both guys are alive for the optimal lineup. I was
- 33:30Speaker 2: going back and forth on this one as well. Don't
- 33:32Speaker 2: even remember who I picked. Let's find out.
- 33:35Speaker 1: Let's see.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Must've been lower on the card.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Okay.
- 33:38Speaker 2: I picked Cody by unanimous decision. So I prefer the underdog,
- 33:41Speaker 2: I guess.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Would you go another fight where I think Cody will
- 33:45Speaker 1: be a decent bit higher on than O'Day? He just
- 33:47Speaker 1: has a lot more outs. I think he should be
- 33:49Speaker 1: higher on. How much more? That gap's to be determined.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Two mid-tier fights to compare, though. This fight or the
- 33:57Speaker 1: Senzonato-Bergren fight. You have the exact same stars everywhere on
- 34:01Speaker 1: those two.
- 34:01Speaker 2: I would say I like this fight more. Yeah, I
- 34:08Speaker 2: do like this fight more.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Okay, I think I'm on the other side just because
- 34:12Speaker 1: I'm most worried about O'Day winning and not being optimal.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Whether Cody controls him round one, dominates one and a
- 34:19Speaker 1: half rounds, gets knocked out after. But if Cody wins,
- 34:23Speaker 1: he should be optimal. I'm a little more confident. Cezanato,
- 34:26Speaker 1: if he wins, it's through wrestling or an early finish
- 34:29Speaker 1: or just 7,700 is a price tag where it's a
- 34:32Speaker 1: lot easier to be optimal to win. But it's close.
- 34:34Speaker 1: It is close for me.
- 34:36Speaker 2: All right.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Two fights left. We are looking at Jacoby Smith, minus 283,
- 34:41Speaker 1: taking on Randy Brown, plus 234. Minus 400 for this
- 34:45Speaker 1: fight to finish. Smith, minus 140 inside the distance. Randy Brown,
- 34:49Speaker 1: plus 240. This was supposed to be Randy Brown versus
- 34:53Speaker 1: Carlos Leal. Out is Leal due to injury. In is
- 34:56Speaker 1: Jacoby Smith. Yeah, that's not very fun for Randy, rude boy, Brown.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Going from Carlos Leal to Jacoby Smith. This dude looks
- 35:04Speaker 1: like he's built out of a lab. 13-0. 4-0 in
- 35:08Speaker 1: the UFC. He's done everything he's needed to do for
- 35:12Speaker 1: second round wins in every single fight. With that being said,
- 35:15Speaker 1: he's given up five inches in height, six inches in reach,
- 35:19Speaker 1: and a whole lot of UFC experience as this is
- 35:21Speaker 1: Randy Brown's 23rd walk to the UFC octagon. I love
- 35:26Speaker 1: this fight. I absolutely love it. I don't think the
- 35:28Speaker 1: field's going to treat it like a five-star fight, though,
- 35:31Speaker 1: so it seems like you want to be overweight on
- 35:33Speaker 1: both sides. I would have the stars exactly how you do.
- 35:36Speaker 1: I'm picking Jacoby Smith He's taking money. But, man, Randy
- 35:40Speaker 1: Rudeboy Brown, if he wins, it's hard to see him
- 35:42Speaker 1: not being optimal. I would expect him to just be
- 35:44Speaker 1: a junkyard dog, survive early, and take over late and
- 35:47Speaker 1: get a finish. Last thing to note, too, again, this
- 35:50Speaker 1: fight on Tuesday, minus 350 to finish, now minus 400,
- 35:53Speaker 1: which you like to see when you're playing this fight.
- 35:57Speaker 2: Yeah. Smith, one of my favorite players on the card,
- 36:01Speaker 2: just his style. I love the powerful wrestling, the powerful knockouts,
- 36:06Speaker 2: if they're if the knockouts not coming and he wants
- 36:09Speaker 2: to wrestle, I think he could do that. And there's
- 36:11Speaker 2: just been nothing bad that we've seen about his game
- 36:15Speaker 2: so far. Maybe Brown can expose them as an experienced
- 36:19Speaker 2: vet who is well-rounded, but is a good striker who
- 36:22Speaker 2: can have his cardio last for three rounds. I just
- 36:26Speaker 2: don't think Brown's the guy. I think he's towards the
- 36:28Speaker 2: end of his career. And this looks like a spot
- 36:30Speaker 2: where the UFC would love for, Brown just to give
- 36:34Speaker 2: all his success and his name right over to Jacoby
- 36:37Speaker 2: Smith and let him carry that forward. So I almost
- 36:40Speaker 2: made this five stars on the Smith side and one
- 36:42Speaker 2: star on Brown, but the money line talked me out
- 36:45Speaker 2: of it. I just, I think he should be a
- 36:48Speaker 2: bigger favorite than he is. Maybe it's the short notice.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Maybe it's the less experienced, but skill wise, Smith just
- 36:54Speaker 2: looks like the full package and the real deal. And
- 36:56Speaker 2: I think he could wrestle his way to a high
- 36:58Speaker 2: scoring decision, but I think he's going to knock out
- 37:01Speaker 2: Brown and score well that way.
- 37:03Speaker 1: If I'm telling you, guaranteed this fight starts the third round,
- 37:06Speaker 1: who do you think would be more likely to win
- 37:09Speaker 1: that third round?
- 37:11Speaker 2: The third round, I would think probably Brown. I would
- 37:14Speaker 2: think that's where you would see, like, Smith is up
- 37:18Speaker 2: two rounds, but it's a pick-em line on the live odds,
- 37:20Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, shit, what's going to happen here?
- 37:22Speaker 2: He's slowing down. Brown's picking it up, something like that.
- 37:25Speaker 2: I would think that's how Brown wins and possibly could
- 37:28Speaker 2: score well, especially if Smith were to gasp. And Brown
- 37:32Speaker 2: could get like a late third round finish after really
- 37:35Speaker 2: putting it on him. I think Brown does have a
- 37:38Speaker 2: decent ceiling as well. Just I don't expect him to
- 37:41Speaker 2: do really anything in the first round. I think Smith
- 37:43Speaker 2: is just going to be too powerful and dominant for him.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, there's no doubt Randy Brown has a ceiling.
- 37:48Speaker 1: He opened plus 285 inside the distance. Now he's plus
- 37:51Speaker 1: 240 inside the distance. I mean, that's better than Luana Santos.
- 37:55Speaker 1: That's better than Pierre Rodriguez talking some 9K high 8K fighters.
- 37:59Speaker 1: If Randy Brown wins, he definitely has upside, and I
- 38:02Speaker 1: agree with you. If this fight goes to the third round,
- 38:04Speaker 1: you better watch out. I think the UFC vet, Randy Brown,
- 38:08Speaker 1: might be a good live betting opportunity. I know a
- 38:10Speaker 1: lot of people, a couple people that success in the
- 38:12Speaker 1: Discord when we mentioned the live betting stuff, and they
- 38:15Speaker 1: hit it, and they've made some money last week. I
- 38:17Speaker 1: can't remember who it was the week prior. Yeah, live betting,
- 38:20Speaker 1: in my opinion, is the biggest edge out there left
- 38:22Speaker 1: in the MMA streets all around if you watch enough fights,
- 38:27Speaker 1: if you are price shopping and have multiple books up. Yeah,
- 38:31Speaker 1: I should also say, happy Halloween to everyone out there.
- 38:33Speaker 1: This card is on Halloween day, so I will not
- 38:37Speaker 1: be watching any of it. I now have a little one,
- 38:40Speaker 1: so yeah, no chance. The wife will let me stay
- 38:43Speaker 1: in and watch some UFC, but hey, we can still
- 38:45Speaker 1: make money with it. I take it you're also not
- 38:48Speaker 1: going to be watching any Big Marley and that you
- 38:50Speaker 1: will be out in the trick-or-treat streets?
- 38:53Speaker 2: I mean, I'll probably have it on the phone while
- 38:55Speaker 2: I walk around.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I actually, I can't even say that. I
- 38:58Speaker 1: think I'd get yelled at for, for the first Halloween
- 39:00Speaker 1: over here.
- 39:01Speaker 2: So my kids are going to be running on their own.
- 39:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:04Speaker 2: They're a little older.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Yeah. Complete, completely different ball game for sure.
- 39:08Speaker 2: All right.
- 39:09Speaker 1: It's the main events. Closest price fight on the card
- 39:13Speaker 1: and pretty much tied for the closest line fights. The
- 39:16Speaker 1: cheaper fighter. We're not to Moicano. Now the favorite at
- 39:18Speaker 1: minus one 15 taken on Tom Nolan minus one Oh
- 39:22Speaker 1: one minus three 25 for this fight to finish. Moicano,
- 39:26Speaker 1: plus 140 inside the distance. Nolan, plus 140. inside the distance.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Moikano run one slightly better, plus 475. Tom Nolan plus 575.
- 39:36Speaker 1: I mean, this is very similar to the O'Day-Durden fight
- 39:39Speaker 1: where it's a clear clash of styles. Moikano the grappler,
- 39:43Speaker 1: Nolan the striker. What wins out? What do you think
- 39:47Speaker 1: wins out?
- 39:49Speaker 2: I actually don't know that Nolan is the striker. I mean,
- 39:51Speaker 2: I think he is the more explosive, more dangerous striker,
- 39:54Speaker 2: especially early in the fight. But Mui Kano is a
- 39:56Speaker 2: good striker, too. And I think point fighting wise, I
- 40:00Speaker 2: think Mui Kano can hang, especially the longer the fight goes.
- 40:03Speaker 2: I think he can hang even more late in the fight.
- 40:06Speaker 2: But I do think if the fight's going to end
- 40:08Speaker 2: with a knockout in the first or second round, that
- 40:10Speaker 2: is probably Nolan. And I think that's his best path
- 40:13Speaker 2: to victory as well. But Mui Kano is just the
- 40:16Speaker 2: more well-rounded fighter. And I think that if he could
- 40:19Speaker 2: get takedowns, if he's wrestling heavy in this fight, I
- 40:21Speaker 2: think Nolan could really be in trouble because I do
- 40:23Speaker 2: like Mui Kano's top game. I think he's live for
- 40:26Speaker 2: submission in any round and I trust him more. The
- 40:30Speaker 2: older guy, actually, I kind of trust him more late
- 40:32Speaker 2: in this fight. He's just the more proven guy. He's
- 40:35Speaker 2: been there. He's done that. He's getting the main event now.
- 40:39Speaker 2: I kind of like, well, he was the underdog when
- 40:41Speaker 2: I was looking at this fight. Now he's the favorite.
- 40:42Speaker 2: So I would rather just pay less for the guy
- 40:45Speaker 2: that I picked to win and is now the favorite.
- 40:47Speaker 2: I'll be heavy Moikano, underweight, but still get a decent
- 40:52Speaker 2: amount of exposure to Nolan.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Moikano opened plus 149 shortly after, was down to
- 40:58Speaker 1: like plus 108. The odds stayed there for a little
- 41:00Speaker 1: while before Moikano, what was it, like Sunday, Saturday or Sunday,
- 41:05Speaker 1: dropped down to minus 106 and has stayed around there
- 41:08Speaker 1: ever since. I don't have, I mean, yeah, the odds,
- 41:11Speaker 1: like you're talking KO, plus 700 for Moikano, plus 200
- 41:15Speaker 1: for Nolan. Moikano by sub, plus 175. Nolan by sub,
- 41:18Speaker 1: plus 800. So I do think it's a bigger gap
- 41:22Speaker 1: on the ground for Moikano than I think Nolan on
- 41:25Speaker 1: the feet, but I do think it's a clear way.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Nolan does win. I'm going to go opposite, but it's
- 41:30Speaker 1: really just game theory. Tom Nolan being 200 more and
- 41:34Speaker 1: the striker and the lesser name, I think you could
- 41:37Speaker 1: see a pretty wide ownership gap in this one. Just
- 41:39Speaker 1: a We saw Murab, and I know it's a little different,
- 41:41Speaker 1: but Murab was 54% last week. Peter Jan, 33% or 34%.
- 41:45Speaker 1: That's a big gap. He ended up wanting neither of them,
- 41:50Speaker 1: which was absolutely crazy, that card. But I think you
- 41:53Speaker 1: could see something like Moicano, 52%. Tom Nolan, 38%. And
- 41:57Speaker 1: if that's the case on a 12-fight card, that's hard
- 42:00Speaker 1: to get different on an only $ 200 difference. I would
- 42:03Speaker 1: take that ownership gap. If you're telling me Moicano's 48%
- 42:06Speaker 1: and Nolan's 44%, give me Renato Moicano. We play a
- 42:10Speaker 1: game theory, an ownership game with only so many combinations
- 42:13Speaker 1: in MMA. So what you have the projected ownership at
- 42:16Speaker 1: should dictate what you do. At least that's how I play.
- 42:19Speaker 1: So I think the gap will be wider than it should.
- 42:22Speaker 1: And I'm going to say Tom Nolan is my preferred play,
- 42:24Speaker 1: even though he's 200 more. And I, to be honest,
- 42:27Speaker 1: like any Tom Nolan team obviously can go Moikano and
- 42:30Speaker 1: leave 200. I think you more times than not have
- 42:34Speaker 1: less dupes when you use the 200 to and leave
- 42:38Speaker 1: $ 0 this week than leaving the $ 200, which you don't
- 42:40Speaker 1: say very often. So that's my take on it. Strong
- 42:45Speaker 1: lean on the actual winner? No. Gun to my head.
- 42:48Speaker 1: I'm probably going to take Moicano just because there's a
- 42:50Speaker 1: bigger gap on the ground. But, yeah, I think you
- 42:53Speaker 1: can get lesser-duped teams with the Tom Nolan side without
- 42:56Speaker 1: giving up. Too much upside and too much on the
- 42:59Speaker 1: money line. Also, last thing to note, Moicano on Tuesday
- 43:03Speaker 1: was minus $ 130, 000. some buyback on the Nolan side, about
- 43:06Speaker 1: 15 cents, which I do like to see. I plan
- 43:09Speaker 1: on having a hundred percent of this fight in 20
- 43:11Speaker 1: entry and below, but I might've, you might've, and I
- 43:14Speaker 1: might've talked myself out of it just with a pretty
- 43:17Speaker 1: strong mid tier and eight K range. And I do
- 43:19Speaker 1: think there is pivots where 95 from Tom Nolan isn't enough.
- 43:23Speaker 1: You said you don't plan on being a hundred percent.
- 43:26Speaker 2: No, honestly, if I'm making 10 lineups, I don't know
- 43:30Speaker 2: that I would be a hundred percent. Even in a
- 43:32Speaker 2: single entry, I could, talk myself out of using this
- 43:36Speaker 2: fight based on the fact of being chalky in every
- 43:39Speaker 2: other position in my lineup, and that's my excuse on
- 43:42Speaker 2: getting different is not having one of these guys.
- 43:45Speaker 1: This fight or Durden-Osborne?
- 43:48Speaker 2: This fight.
- 43:49Speaker 1: This fight or... Oh, you already said the O'Day fight
- 43:52Speaker 1: over the Cincinnati fight. So, yeah, this fight, I guess,
- 43:56Speaker 1: or Jacoby Smith-Randy Brown?
- 44:01Speaker 2: Ah, man, I'd say... I'd say that's close. Those are
- 44:07Speaker 2: my third and fourth favorites of these two five stars.
- 44:11Speaker 2: I like Reese Gall more, and I like Lee Arosa,
- 44:15Speaker 2: I think, a little bit more as well. Maybe not.
- 44:18Speaker 2: I don't know. That one's tight. I like Reese Gall
- 44:20Speaker 2: the most for sure. These three are kind of tied together.
- 44:23Speaker 2: But I'm not going to be all in on any
- 44:25Speaker 2: of them because of the other three. I'm fine just
- 44:28Speaker 2: targeting those ones.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Solid 12-fight card
- 44:33Speaker 1: at the Apex, 5 p.m. Eastern start time. Again, if
- 44:36Speaker 1: you're going to be watching, definitely enjoy it. If you're
- 44:39Speaker 1: going to be out and about trick-or-treating, whatever it may be,
- 44:42Speaker 1: definitely enjoy your weekend. And hopefully you have a little
- 44:45Speaker 1: more cheese in your pocket come Free Money Sunday. That's
- 44:49Speaker 1: going to do it. Any final thoughts for you, Big Marley?
- 44:52Speaker 2: No, man, hopefully it's a good card. Hopefully it's a
- 44:54Speaker 2: happy Halloween. Enjoy that Packers game tomorrow. Good luck on Sunday.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Let's ship it.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Absolutely. I will definitely be enjoying getting up to Lambeau
- 45:05Speaker 1: my first time in many of years to watch a game.
- 45:08Speaker 1: So very excited for that. Head on over to Shippenation.com

- 45:15Speaker 1: If you are playing NFL, NBA, NHL, any of that
- 45:18Speaker 1: good stuff, either the Core 100 or Starter, most likely
- 45:22Speaker 1: the best deal for you. Only gets cheaper the longer
- 45:24Speaker 1: you're with us. If you're playing thousands of dollars a month,
- 45:28Speaker 1: I do think trying out the Sims and the Ultimates
- 45:30Speaker 1: is definitely something you should look at. You also do
- 45:33Speaker 1: get DFS Mastermind with Starter and Ultimates. And if you're
- 45:36Speaker 1: only playing MMA, monthly and annual options as well. And
- 45:40Speaker 1: if you want Saber Sim, it only costs a little
- 45:43Speaker 1: bit more to add. That's going to do it. Enjoy
