- 0:05Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff. What is going on, everybody?
- 0:37Speaker 1: Hope everyone's having a great week. We are back talking
- 0:40Speaker 1: some fights. UFC fight night in Shanghai, China. That means
- 0:46Speaker 1: there is a weird start time, 3 a.m. Eastern this week.
- 0:50Speaker 1: So all our content always up on Friday. Projections, ownership,
- 0:54Speaker 1: the stone, slate station, all that good stuff. Everything you
- 0:57Speaker 1: need to be successful in MMA, DFS. All that will
- 1:00Speaker 1: be up tomorrow. If anything changes, more than likely I'll
- 1:03Speaker 1: be up. pretty late friday i can't guarantee i make
- 1:07Speaker 1: it all the way to midnight my time but regardless
- 1:10Speaker 1: most news should come out by then if any updates
- 1:12Speaker 1: are needed i will make them in the discord but
- 1:15Speaker 1: nine of the 13 fights are expected to finish one
- 1:18Speaker 1: of those four are the main events so i think
- 1:20Speaker 1: that right away tells us we should be expecting some
- 1:22Speaker 1: big scores also nine of the 13 fights are uh
- 1:27Speaker 1: have favorites minus 200 or greater So a lot of
- 1:30Speaker 1: big favorites, a lot of fights expected to finish. 13's
- 1:33Speaker 1: a good number. I will definitely butcher names like I
- 1:35Speaker 1: always do, but a lot of Chinese fighters. I'm ready
- 1:38Speaker 1: for this one, though. Big Marley, how we doing?
- 1:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to wake up
- 1:42Speaker 2: at 3 a.m., but hopefully I'll wake up to a
- 1:44Speaker 2: sweat entering the main card or something like that. But
- 1:48Speaker 2: another one with a lot of names that people won't know,
- 1:50Speaker 2: so hopefully we can find a small edge here or there. Yeah,
- 1:54Speaker 2: looking forward to talking about it.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Absolutely. Again, hope everyone out there is doing well. All
- 1:59Speaker 1: we ask is the like button and the subscribe button.

- 2:05Speaker 1: the Ship It Nation homepage because it looks a little
- 2:07Speaker 1: different from last time that you saw us. NFL is
- 2:10Speaker 1: less than two weeks away. Absolutely cannot wait for that.

- 3:01Speaker 1: It only gets cheaper with the annual packages. Again, you
- 3:04Speaker 1: can see this for all of our content. It gets
- 3:07Speaker 1: cheaper the longer that you're with us. College football is
- 3:10Speaker 1: also starting on Saturday, week zero. And the next week
- 3:14Speaker 1: it starts as well. So can't wait for that. We
- 3:16Speaker 1: are getting into the best time of the year for DFS.
- 3:19Speaker 1: And we have so many different options when it comes
- 3:21Speaker 1: to packages and We would love to have you for sure.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I mean, man, look at, I was just looking at
- 3:26Speaker 1: this earlier. Look at all of these screenshots right here.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Little big Marley, $ 81, 933 piece, which you love to see,
- 3:34Speaker 1: but we'd love to have you at the nation. Rock
- 3:37Speaker 1: us with the avatar, get in the winner's circle and
- 3:39Speaker 1: have a chance to make this collage right here. Look
- 3:42Speaker 1: at that. Another big Marley, a little 12.6 K action.
- 3:45Speaker 1: You love to see it. All right, let's get back
- 3:48Speaker 1: out of there. Let's go to the Stone. Before we
- 3:52Speaker 1: go fight by fight, any– actually, what's up, Nate D?
- 3:54Speaker 1: Great to see you. I hope you're doing well. Any
- 3:56Speaker 1: broad state overview for you before we go fight by fight?
- 3:59Speaker 1: Any fights you'll be locking? Yeah, anything before we talk
- 4:03Speaker 1: about them?
- 4:04Speaker 2: No, no locks. I plan on just being heavy on
- 4:07Speaker 2: my two five-star fights. Maybe I can be talked in
- 4:10Speaker 2: to moving up another one or two. But, yeah, I
- 4:13Speaker 2: think there's a lot of solid fights to target on
- 4:16Speaker 2: this one. So not even a must-have main event, I
- 4:19Speaker 2: don't think. Agree.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Absolutely agree. What's up, Nicholas? Hope you're doing well. All right,
- 4:23Speaker 1: bottom to top, like usual, first fight of the night.
- 4:27Speaker 1: In the mid-tier, we got Meng Dang taking on Cameron Nelson.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Minus 145, Dang. Plus 125 is Nelson. Dang, plus 124
- 4:36Speaker 1: inside the distance. Or plus 140 inside the distance. Nelson
- 4:40Speaker 1: plus 275 inside the distance. Dang, round one, plus 300.
- 4:44Speaker 1: We're talking line movement like always. A lot of line
- 4:47Speaker 1: movement in this one. Dang open, plus 115 on the
- 4:50Speaker 1: money line. Now minus 145. Fight open, minus 140 to finish.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Now minus 165. Dang open, plus 175 inside the distance.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Now plus 140. Dang opened, plus 400 in round one.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Now plus 300. On the flip side, obviously money came
- 5:09Speaker 1: against Nelson on the money line. Also against him a
- 5:12Speaker 1: little bit for inside the distance. Open, 256. now plus 275.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking low-level fight right here, but it
- 5:19Speaker 1: is expected to finish, which is the highest mid-tier fight
- 5:23Speaker 1: expected to finish on this card. And yeah, I personally
- 5:28Speaker 1: like Ding Meng because all of the line movement has
- 5:30Speaker 1: pointed his way, and I think he is more aggressive.
- 5:33Speaker 1: He will have a height advantage, as you see, but
- 5:35Speaker 1: I am fine playing Nelson and Chalkier lineups, leaving 400
- 5:38Speaker 1: as well. But I'm going to play this fight. I'll
- 5:40Speaker 1: be overweight more than likely.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I changed it to a four-star already. This is
- 5:45Speaker 2: one I like to start the night off with. Just
- 5:49Speaker 2: a lot of unknowns, really, on the Cam Nelson side.
- 5:52Speaker 2: I thought he looked like an aggressive striker that goes
- 5:54Speaker 2: for the kills. He also had some powerful takedowns as well. But, again,
- 5:58Speaker 2: some scrubs, and now he's getting Meng Ding, who is
- 6:02Speaker 2: way more experienced. He's got a lot of knockouts, and
- 6:05Speaker 2: I think he is the better point fighter of the two.
- 6:08Speaker 2: So if it does go to a decision, I feel
- 6:10Speaker 2: like In a striking match, I like Meng to win
- 6:13Speaker 2: the course of 15 minutes, but Nelson could mix in takedowns,
- 6:18Speaker 2: and at $ 7, 900, anybody who can mix in takedowns and
- 6:20Speaker 2: possibly win is going to be in play for me.
- 6:23Speaker 2: I also think Nelson, just the overall making your debut,
- 6:29Speaker 2: having those nerves, I think he's going to come out hot,
- 6:31Speaker 2: and that could be good or bad for him, but
- 6:33Speaker 2: I think it's going to be good for DFS. I
- 6:36Speaker 2: am going to take Nelson to win just because I
- 6:39Speaker 2: like unknowns. I think that it is a close fight,
- 6:42Speaker 2: not quite a pick them, but I'd be fine just
- 6:45Speaker 2: taking the plus money side of this either way. So
- 6:49Speaker 2: give me Nelson as.
- 6:50Speaker 1: The pick to win.
- 6:51Speaker 2: But I am cool being overweight to both sides of
- 6:54Speaker 2: this one. I don't even think it'll be too highly
- 6:56Speaker 2: owned of a fight as a whole.
- 6:59Speaker 1: I agree with you. So you said you moved three
- 7:01Speaker 1: star to four star. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I mean,
- 7:04Speaker 1: that puts you as one of your favorite fights on
- 7:05Speaker 1: the card. And I do agree. I don't really like
- 7:08Speaker 1: the mid tier too much. They're really, really low tier
- 7:10Speaker 1: when your dumpster diving is pretty tough. So I think
- 7:12Speaker 1: I will find myself landing on this fight a decent bid. Again,
- 7:16Speaker 1: 25 cents on the under in terms of the fight
- 7:18Speaker 1: to finish. Mang has taken money on the money line.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I'm going to ride the line movement. But I think
- 7:24Speaker 1: Cam Nelson also solid play and gets you the ability
- 7:26Speaker 1: to leave money pretty easily without giving up much upside.
- 7:29Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it rolling from one of the
- 7:32Speaker 1: fights that we like most to, in my opinion, one
- 7:34Speaker 1: of the worst fights on the card to target. Julia
- 7:37Speaker 1: Palastri taking on Jingneng Zhang. Minus 230, Palastri. Plus 192
- 7:42Speaker 1: is Jingneng. Plus 250 for this fight to finish. The
- 7:45Speaker 1: most likely to go the distance on the card. Palastri
- 7:48Speaker 1: plus 350. Zhang plus 625. I don't really see myself
- 7:53Speaker 1: playing any Palastri. Actually, if I had 15 teams or more,
- 7:57Speaker 1: you can mix her in. Her inside the distance prop,
- 8:00Speaker 1: about 23.5% will be higher than her ownership. So if
- 8:04Speaker 1: you look at it that way, she's a way to
- 8:06Speaker 1: get difference. Upper tier is loaded in this one, though.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Hard for me to click that name. And Jingnei Zhang,
- 8:11Speaker 1: I mean, the fight's expected to go the distance, and
- 8:13Speaker 1: she's 7,300. Mainly will stay on the feet, so I
- 8:17Speaker 1: think she's a floor play. I don't love it, but
- 8:19Speaker 1: I'm going to probably get some. What about you?
- 8:22Speaker 2: Yeah, this is my least favorite fight on the card.
- 8:24Speaker 2: With limited lineups, it's more of a one-star for me.
- 8:27Speaker 2: I'll be sure not to click on this with hand
- 8:29Speaker 2: builds on either side of it. And that's because I
- 8:31Speaker 2: like Palastri. I just think that both of them are
- 8:34Speaker 2: primary strikers. And Palastri is the more vicious striker. I
- 8:38Speaker 2: think she's probably higher volume as well. And she's had
- 8:42Speaker 2: to deal with so many grapplers that I think at
- 8:43Speaker 2: this point she's got the grappling edge too. So all
- 8:46Speaker 2: the edges go to Palastri, but she's $ 8, 900. We would
- 8:49Speaker 2: really need a ceiling type of performance from her to
- 8:53Speaker 2: be on the optimal at $ 8, 900. So I'm just going
- 8:55Speaker 2: to hope that she wins, scores somewhere in the 80s,
- 8:58Speaker 2: and that's probably not going to cut it.
- 8:59Speaker 1: What would you set her takedown prop at?. 5. Yeah.
- 9:05Speaker 1: It's really hard for me to get there if she's
- 9:07Speaker 1: not going to wrestle with the over heavily juice. So
- 9:10Speaker 1: I prefer the dog because we need to play a
- 9:13Speaker 1: salary-based game and we need dogs on this card, but
- 9:15Speaker 1: I don't even love it any which way. What's going on, Phil?
- 9:19Speaker 1: Great to see you, man. I cannot wait for NFL season. Gang, gang,
- 9:24Speaker 1: or your name, Phil, didn't remind me of anything NFL,
- 9:26Speaker 1: but it's hard to get that out of the back
- 9:28Speaker 1: of my head. How many more drafts do you need,
- 9:30Speaker 1: Big Marley, on the three sites to complete the max?
- 9:33Speaker 2: Like eight.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Wow. Eight total?
- 9:36Speaker 2: Maybe, maybe. Eight, ten or so. You asked me in
- 9:38Speaker 2: the pool how long I've been drafting. I looked it
- 9:40Speaker 2: up the other day. The end of April is when
- 9:43Speaker 2: I started.
- 9:43Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah, Big Marley's on that big-time grind, maxing
- 9:47Speaker 1: all three sites in the flagship. So hopefully we have
- 9:50Speaker 1: some sweats when it's all said and done near the end.
- 9:52Speaker 1: What's up, YSM? I assume you're in the showdown streets
- 9:55Speaker 1: after shipping day one. So hope showdown's treating you well.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Saw Kyle Williams got a touchdown. Bernard got a touchdown.
- 10:02Speaker 1: NFL going to be lit, no doubt for sure. Hopefully
- 10:05Speaker 1: UFC's lit this week as well, though. Let's keep it rolling.
- 10:07Speaker 1: To the next fight on the card, we got Lawrence
- 10:10Speaker 1: Louie and Hector Santiago. Minus 280 is Louie. plus 230
- 10:16Speaker 1: Santiago minus one 45 for this fight to finish Louie
- 10:19Speaker 1: plus 100 inside the distance Santiago plus five 25 Louie
- 10:24Speaker 1: round one plus 300. I was a little surprised to
- 10:28Speaker 1: see you have, this is only a three star, uh,
- 10:30Speaker 1: mainly because looking at Louie, he had his 5.3 takedowns
- 10:34Speaker 1: per 15 minutes, got seven takedowns in a C in
- 10:36Speaker 1: his UFC debut last fight for 100 DK points. I
- 10:40Speaker 1: will say that was our, uh, His significant strikes and
- 10:43Speaker 1: his takedowns is only a three fight sample. And two
- 10:46Speaker 1: of those were road to the UFC fight. So little
- 10:49Speaker 1: worse competition. Santiago is making his debut, but yeah, break
- 10:52Speaker 1: this one down.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm cool. I just moved it to a four
- 10:55Speaker 2: star as well. Cause I do like targeting this fight.
- 10:59Speaker 2: I think Santiago is probably the better and more powerful striker.
- 11:02Speaker 2: So if it is a striking match, he's going to
- 11:04Speaker 2: be live to win and he could get a knockout
- 11:06Speaker 2: and break the slate. But yeah, since he's the better striker,
- 11:10Speaker 2: Louie should go in and wrestle heavily. I think that
- 11:12Speaker 2: Santiago is a pure striker. So I don't know that
- 11:15Speaker 2: he can get up if Louie gets takedown. So he
- 11:17Speaker 2: could rack up control time, but if he can get up,
- 11:20Speaker 2: I think Louie will keep going for those takedowns. And
- 11:22Speaker 2: I think he can get multiple in each round. I
- 11:26Speaker 2: just think that Louie has a better chance striking than
- 11:28Speaker 2: Santiago does grappling. So if Louie is going to spend
- 11:31Speaker 2: time on the feet, I don't really like the 90,
- 11:33Speaker 2: the $ 9, 100 price tag, but he is a guy who,
- 11:37Speaker 2: One of few guys, I think, on this card who
- 11:39Speaker 2: could land, you know, six plus takedowns. And anyone who
- 11:43Speaker 2: can land that many takedowns has to be in play
- 11:44Speaker 2: for DFS. So Louie is my pick to win. But
- 11:47Speaker 2: Santiago is a dog I like at seventy one hundred
- 11:49Speaker 2: dollars because I think he could win a striking match,
- 11:52Speaker 2: maybe score around seventy one hundred in a decision win.
- 11:56Speaker 2: But he could also knock Louie out in any round
- 11:58Speaker 2: and really score well.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I mean, I like Lawrence Louie. I think,
- 12:02Speaker 1: like you said, he has one of the most upside
- 12:04Speaker 1: on the slate. He can wrestle a bunch. He's taken
- 12:06Speaker 1: on a striker. And on the flip side, I do
- 12:08Speaker 1: think Louie gets a little bit of ownership. I think
- 12:10Speaker 1: Santiago is pretty solid on the feet. I'm looking at
- 12:13Speaker 1: this as a clash of styles. Louie's not lost on
- 12:15Speaker 1: the feet by any means, but Santiago, I think the
- 12:18Speaker 1: line would look a little wide if it only stays
- 12:20Speaker 1: on the feet. We like upside. We like takedowns and
- 12:23Speaker 1: control time. 9,100, Louie has that. Any win at 7,100
- 12:27Speaker 1: would be fine from Santiago. So this is a fight.
- 12:29Speaker 1: I do like as well. I'll let Big Marley go
- 12:33Speaker 1: first if you want to try this.
- 12:35Speaker 2: I'm okay.
- 12:36Speaker 1: All right, yeah. I'm all right as well. Maybe later.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I don't want to get caught saying something dumb, but
- 12:42Speaker 1: all right. Let's keep it rolling to the next fight
- 12:44Speaker 1: on the card. Another mid-tier fight. Sean Woodson, minus 148.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Jack Jenkins, plus 128. Plus 135 for this fight to finish,
- 12:52Speaker 1: which is one of the four fights expected to go
- 12:54Speaker 1: the distance. The underdog, slightly better inside the distance prop. Jenkins,
- 12:58Speaker 1: plus 298. Woodson plus 300. Looking at this as like
- 13:02Speaker 1: a striker. The stone kind of shows a striker in
- 13:04Speaker 1: Woodson versus a wrestler in Jenkins. Jenkins has good leg kicks.
- 13:08Speaker 1: I still will never understand how Woodson can make 145, though.
- 13:13Speaker 1: 6'2 and 78-inch reach. That'll give him 7 inches in height,
- 13:16Speaker 1: 10 inches in reach advantage in this one. All fights
- 13:20Speaker 1: of Sean Woodson's just look funny because he towers over
- 13:23Speaker 1: these guys and looks like a pencil. But I'm really
- 13:26Speaker 1: curious to see how this one goes down in real life.
- 13:28Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 13:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Woodson's going to have a clear striking edge.
- 13:32Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot longer. He's going to
- 13:33Speaker 2: be pumping out that jab. And I think he could
- 13:35Speaker 2: box up Jenkins. But Jenkins does have nasty leg kicks.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I think he can chop that front leg down, slow
- 13:41Speaker 2: Woodson down on the feet. And Jenkins should be wrestling
- 13:44Speaker 2: in this matchup. I think he should go for multiple
- 13:46Speaker 2: takedowns in each round. But he should be chopping that
- 13:49Speaker 2: leg down too. And the more he can chop the
- 13:51Speaker 2: leg down, I think it's going to be harder for
- 13:52Speaker 2: Woodson to keep getting up. So Jenkins is my favorite,
- 13:56Speaker 2: one of my favorite underdogs on the card. just because
- 13:59Speaker 2: he should be mixing in takedowns. I like his all-around game,
- 14:03Speaker 2: but he does have a high pace when he's on
- 14:05Speaker 2: the ground. And Woods ends up pretty much striker only.
- 14:08Speaker 2: So I think Jenkins could rack up strike, not significant strikes,
- 14:12Speaker 2: but just strikes that are on the ground. And he
- 14:14Speaker 2: could also get maybe five takedowns or so, possibly hurt
- 14:17Speaker 2: that lead leg as well, maybe even get a TKO
- 14:19Speaker 2: that way. But give me Jenkins to pull off the upset.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Don't really feel confident about him winning, but I do
- 14:25Speaker 2: like that this fight is in the mid-range. Both sides
- 14:27Speaker 2: are in play. But I would just rather have the underdog.
- 14:34Speaker 2: You're on mute.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Mute. What a mute donkey. I'm in agreement. I'm glad
- 14:37Speaker 1: you went first. Jenkins has the wrestling upside. He has
- 14:40Speaker 1: the leg kick upside. He's also 600 cheaper. 78 has
- 14:44Speaker 1: a chance to be optimal at 7,800, whereas 78 is
- 14:47Speaker 1: drawing very thin at 8,400. So close fight. I'm not
- 14:51Speaker 1: confident in the winner. I think how Woodson deals with
- 14:54Speaker 1: the leg kicks is going to be the main thing
- 14:56Speaker 1: because Woodson does have good takedown defense. Um, and the
- 14:59Speaker 1: jab should be money at range, but sometimes he doesn't
- 15:02Speaker 1: use his reach as well as he should. Um, so yeah,
- 15:05Speaker 1: if it gets, if he doesn't use his reach well,
- 15:08Speaker 1: I think leg kicks will be money from Jenkins. This
- 15:10Speaker 1: fight is expected to go the distance though in the
- 15:12Speaker 1: mid tier. So give me the 600 savings and Jenkins
- 15:16Speaker 1: as my preferred play. Next fight on the card, we
- 15:19Speaker 1: got Long Zhao taking on Francisco Nuzi minus 180 long
- 15:24Speaker 1: plus 150 is Nuzi minus 110 for this fight to finish.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Long plus 190 inside the distance. Newsy plus 325. Take
- 15:33Speaker 1: it away.
- 15:35Speaker 2: So, yeah, Long's out. He's got power in his hands,
- 15:40Speaker 2: but he just doesn't throw enough volume. He's one of
- 15:42Speaker 2: those boring strikers, in my opinion, but he could catch
- 15:44Speaker 2: Newsy with something big. I think his biggest edge in
- 15:48Speaker 2: this matchup, though, would be takedowns. Newsy looks like a
- 15:52Speaker 2: primary striker, and I think he can struggle off of
- 15:55Speaker 2: his back. So if Long Zhao can go in there
- 15:58Speaker 2: and get takedowns, I think he's live to win a
- 15:59Speaker 2: decision with multiple takedowns. But even if he's doing that,
- 16:03Speaker 2: I just don't think he's going to land enough strikes
- 16:04Speaker 2: in top control to really have a big ceiling. And
- 16:08Speaker 2: on the feet, I think Newsy is the more exciting striker.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I think he's going to be higher on volume. He's
- 16:12Speaker 2: got more tools in his striking toolbox. So it's another
- 16:15Speaker 2: one where I like the underdog to pull off the upset.
- 16:17Speaker 2: He's $ 200 cheaper than Jenkins. So I don't know who
- 16:21Speaker 2: I like more, but I think those are two of
- 16:22Speaker 2: my favorite dogs on the card. I plan on being
- 16:24Speaker 2: overweight to both of them. And Long Zhao is an
- 16:27Speaker 2: underweight play for me. If I'm making 10 lineups, I'll
- 16:30Speaker 2: probably fully fade Long Zhao. I really have no interest
- 16:33Speaker 2: in his style for DFS.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Do you think he wrestles in this one, though? Nine
- 16:37Speaker 1: wins by submission. I think four were by KO, maybe five.
- 16:41Speaker 1: He hasn't wrestled as much in the UFC as I
- 16:43Speaker 1: was expecting, but it feels like a matchup that it
- 16:46Speaker 1: definitely would be smart to do so.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he will just based on the line.
- 16:52Speaker 2: But I don't know that he's the smartest dude. I
- 16:54Speaker 2: don't know how much he'll wrestle. So I would rather
- 16:56Speaker 2: just take my chances on the underdog.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. I put this one as like the classic,
- 17:01Speaker 1: even with the field on both sides. I think they're
- 17:03Speaker 1: going to both be relatively low owned when you play both,
- 17:06Speaker 1: especially long. I think that's like one of your ways
- 17:09Speaker 1: to get difference. Post 190 inside the distance isn't bad.
- 17:12Speaker 1: He's live for a bank at any time. And the
- 17:14Speaker 1: sub props only short or slightly worse. Then his KO prop,
- 17:18Speaker 1: so that means I think he does wrestle. At least
- 17:20Speaker 1: he should wrestle. And anytime you wrestle 8,600 relatively low owned,
- 17:25Speaker 1: I would have some interest. And then, yeah, Newsy, solid
- 17:27Speaker 1: money line, probably the better striker. Only 7,600. Probably my
- 17:32Speaker 1: preferred play when it's all said and done. But I
- 17:34Speaker 1: expect probably Newsy to be higher owned than Long due
- 17:37Speaker 1: to the savings and needing to play some dogs. All right,
- 17:41Speaker 1: let's go to a couple fights that have some big favorites.
- 17:45Speaker 1: This one is the second biggest favorite on the card
- 17:48Speaker 1: and the highest price. Ray Souria, minus 760. Kevin Borjas,
- 17:53Speaker 1: plus 538. Minus 205 for this fight to finish. Souria,
- 17:58Speaker 1: minus 185 inside the distance. Borjas, plus 875. Souria, round one,
- 18:04Speaker 1: plus 165. We're talking line movement. Souria has been hammered
- 18:08Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Minus 500, he opened on
- 18:11Speaker 1: the money line. Now minus 760. This fight opened minus
- 18:14Speaker 1: 155 to finish, now minus 205. Soria opened minus 130
- 18:19Speaker 1: inside the distance, now minus 185. He also opened plus
- 18:23Speaker 1: 230 in round one, now plus 165. All of the
- 18:27Speaker 1: money is coming on him in every which way. With
- 18:30Speaker 1: that being said, he's 9,700. He can get a round
- 18:33Speaker 1: one submission in a minute, nine seconds and probably bust.
- 18:37Speaker 1: So can Borjas get up if he's taken down? I
- 18:40Speaker 1: think it's the big question.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Man, I don't know. I kind of do like Saruya
- 18:45Speaker 2: round one. I just think it is a pure striker
- 18:47Speaker 2: versus grappler matchup. And Saruya is going to be the
- 18:50Speaker 2: dominant wrestler who's going to be much better with the
- 18:52Speaker 2: submission game. I think Borjas has a better chance of
- 18:55Speaker 2: knocking Saruya out than he does keeping it on the
- 18:58Speaker 2: feet or getting back up to the feet enough to
- 19:00Speaker 2: win a decision. And I still know that he has
- 19:02Speaker 2: enough power. So give me Saruya round one. But $ 9, 700,
- 19:05Speaker 2: I'm really not trying to get to it unless I'm
- 19:09Speaker 2: playing enough underdogs where it makes it easy. But, I mean,
- 19:13Speaker 2: $ 200 less for Umar. Umar has a much higher ceiling
- 19:15Speaker 2: and kind of the same floor as well. So give
- 19:19Speaker 2: me Saruya, but $ 9, 700, I'd be fine if I got none.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Fair enough. We're going to get to– you already mentioned
- 19:29Speaker 1: the Umar. We're going to get to Asakura, but we'll
- 19:32Speaker 1: talk about Hassan right away, 97-96. Who would you prefer
- 19:35Speaker 1: if you had to choose between those two?
- 19:38Speaker 2: Hassan, I just like that. that kid we'll talk about him,
- 19:41Speaker 2: but I think he's going to be a good addition.
- 19:43Speaker 1: To the UFC. Yeah. A lot of people have a
- 19:45Speaker 1: lot of hype on or uh are ready for him
- 19:47Speaker 1: to come in the ufc so we will get there

- 20:49Speaker 1: but I could be wrong. Let me know, Jordan. It's
- 20:51Speaker 1: been a little while. So let me know again. Yeah.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Big congrats for sure. All right. We'll keep it rolling
- 20:57Speaker 1: to the next fight. On the card, Andre Lima taking
- 21:01Speaker 1: on Namsari Batbuyer. Minus 265 Lima. Plus 219 is Batbuyer.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Minus 210 for this fight to finish. Lima minus 120
- 21:09Speaker 1: inside the distance. Batbuyer plus 375. Lima round one plus 275.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Another fight with some line movement, but this is mainly
- 21:18Speaker 1: the inside the distance. It was minus 190 to finish.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Now minus 210. Lima was minus 115. Now minus 120.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Batbuyer plus 400. now plus 375. I mean, I like
- 21:31Speaker 1: this bat buyer cap because all of his fights end
- 21:33Speaker 1: inside the distance. I think he'll force Lima to fight,
- 21:36Speaker 1: and I think Lima is better when it's all said
- 21:38Speaker 1: and done, wherever the fight takes place. Terrible fight against
- 21:41Speaker 1: Borjas last time out, but Borjas ran around. Lima couldn't
- 21:44Speaker 1: cut off the cage. I think it's a completely different matchup,
- 21:47Speaker 1: and I think he gets back on track, and I
- 21:49Speaker 1: definitely have some interest at 9K.
- 21:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I like this fight because of the bat buyer side.
- 21:55Speaker 2: I mean, he's just full aggression. He's going to go
- 21:57Speaker 2: in there and try to knock out Lima and he's
- 21:59Speaker 2: going to be right out of the gates too. So
- 22:01Speaker 2: I think his aggression is going to make Lima fight
- 22:04Speaker 2: with a much more urgency than in his last fight.
- 22:09Speaker 2: And I agree that Lima is just the more skilled,
- 22:11Speaker 2: more technical fighter all around. The longer it goes, the
- 22:14Speaker 2: more it favors him. But I think he's got enough
- 22:17Speaker 2: power to knock him out in the first round too,
- 22:19Speaker 2: while bat buyer is getting crazy. So If Batbuyer wins,
- 22:22Speaker 2: I think $ 7, 200 does put him on the optimal lineup
- 22:25Speaker 2: because there's a good chance it'll be a finish. But
- 22:28Speaker 2: Lima at 9K, typically I wouldn't like his style at
- 22:32Speaker 2: 9K on DFS. But against Batbuyer, I think he is
- 22:35Speaker 2: live for a pretty big score here. So, yeah, I
- 22:37Speaker 2: like Andre Lima. I like the fight as a whole.
- 22:40Speaker 2: I thought about putting this one as a five-star, actually.
- 22:42Speaker 2: So we'll see what I end up with once I
- 22:44Speaker 2: start building lineups. But Lima is probably the reason I
- 22:48Speaker 2: took it off of a five-star. It's kind of hard
- 22:50Speaker 2: to make a Lima fight. five-star, especially when he's coming
- 22:52Speaker 2: off a loss. And what's his nuts? Borja scored like
- 22:55Speaker 2: 50 points in a win. So it's tough to do
- 22:58Speaker 2: a five-star right after that.
- 23:00Speaker 1: For sure. Both only landed 51 significant strikes. Like Nicholas said,
- 23:04Speaker 1: shit the bed at minus 600. I hope people game blog,
- 23:08Speaker 1: watch and think that because yeah, it's just a completely
- 23:10Speaker 1: different fight. Styles make fights. If one guy's going to
- 23:13Speaker 1: be in your face pressuring for 15 minutes and the
- 23:15Speaker 1: other guy's running around the Octagon for 15 minutes, it's
- 23:18Speaker 1: a lot easier to score than, in wins with the
- 23:21Speaker 1: guy pressuring. And that is what Bat Buyer does. That
- 23:23Speaker 1: means I definitely have interest in Bat Buyer at his price.
- 23:26Speaker 1: If he wins, he should score. And I have interest
- 23:28Speaker 1: in Lima because I think he can wrestle. I think
- 23:30Speaker 1: he can knock out Bat Buyer. And I'm just hoping
- 23:32Speaker 1: Bat Buyer makes this a fun fight. So yeah, sign
- 23:35Speaker 1: me up on both sides. I probably would have it
- 23:37Speaker 1: as a four-star too, like you do. I think I
- 23:40Speaker 1: see it very similar all the way around. Again, Lima
- 23:43Speaker 1: is favored to finish at minus 120. All right, we
- 23:47Speaker 1: kind of, Tipped her hand a little bit, but now
- 23:49Speaker 1: the biggest favorite on the card, Bilal Hassan, minus 800.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Taking on Nilsson Rojas, plus 561. Minus 210 for this
- 23:58Speaker 1: fight to finish. Hassan, minus 200 inside the distance. Rojas,
- 24:02Speaker 1: plus 1,000. Hassan in round one, open plus 175. Now
- 24:06Speaker 1: plus 170. He opened minus 500 on the money line
- 24:08Speaker 1: and is now minus 800. So he's the second highest priced,
- 24:11Speaker 1: but the biggest favorite. on the card, a lot of
- 24:20Speaker 1: hype on this guy. And some people are probably like,
- 24:22Speaker 1: what the heck? Like I've never heard of him. He
- 24:24Speaker 1: was on episode one this year of Dana White's contender series,
- 24:29Speaker 1: got a 45 second knockout. And then everyone's falling in
- 24:32Speaker 1: love with him. I mean, he's good. He's nine to
- 24:34Speaker 1: know before that, but he's been huge favorites over pretty
- 24:37Speaker 1: much everyone as he is again this week. But I
- 24:40Speaker 1: think it was like minus 4,500. I contender series or something.
- 24:43Speaker 1: So a step up in competition, uh, not the biggest,
- 24:47Speaker 1: biggest step up, but yeah, he should roll. What does
- 24:49Speaker 1: he need to do at 9,600 though? 9,600.
- 24:53Speaker 2: I think we just need a knockout, maybe multiple knockdowns
- 24:56Speaker 2: if it's not in the first round, but I mean,
- 24:58Speaker 2: he's minus 185, I believe inside the distance plus 215
- 25:04Speaker 2: in round one. And I just like this kid's skills
- 25:07Speaker 2: when he is fast, he's technical, he's got good kicks.
- 25:10Speaker 2: He's just dangerous, man. He's going to be, he's going
- 25:14Speaker 2: to be trying to knock Rojas out. And I think
- 25:16Speaker 2: that typically a grappler is what we wouldn't want to
- 25:19Speaker 2: see this kid go against. But in this fight, I
- 25:21Speaker 2: think Hassan has the grappling edge to Rojas. I'd say
- 25:24Speaker 2: he's a solid boxer. Maybe he's got more one punch
- 25:27Speaker 2: power than Hassan, but I just think he has to
- 25:30Speaker 2: knock Hassan out. I just have a hard time seeing
- 25:33Speaker 2: him beat Hassan in a three round striking match. Hassan's
- 25:36Speaker 2: just going to be faster. throwing more strikes from all angles.
- 25:40Speaker 2: And I think eventually he is going to knock Rojas out.
- 25:42Speaker 2: So I upped it to a four star. I also
- 25:45Speaker 2: lowered Saruya down to a two star that fight.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Okay. I mean, like, does he have 170 significant strike
- 25:53Speaker 1: late third round upside? And like, I feel like that's
- 25:56Speaker 1: kind of what we need. He feels like a good
- 25:58Speaker 1: volume striker. He can put it on We need that
- 26:01Speaker 1: at 9,600. I wouldn't put it past him. I think
- 26:04Speaker 1: he could do that.
- 26:04Speaker 2: I don't know if I would project that, but I
- 26:06Speaker 2: think it's definitely a possibility.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously can't project that. If you had to pick
- 26:14Speaker 1: an underdog against like a Song Yedong, Rojas, Kevin Borjas,
- 26:22Speaker 1: do you have a preference? Do you plan on playing
- 26:23Speaker 1: any of them? A Richie Long you can throw in there?
- 26:28Speaker 2: Shit, yeah. I don't really like any of them. Probably
- 26:32Speaker 2: gets to Santiago when I start really wanting to play him,
- 26:34Speaker 2: but I'd be okay with 150. I'd be okay with
- 26:38Speaker 2: a little bit of Borjas, a little bit of Yedong.
- 26:42Speaker 2: I don't, wait, Rojas, not Borjas. I don't want to
- 26:45Speaker 2: play any Borjas, I don't think. Rojas I'm more interested
- 26:48Speaker 2: in just because he does have power. He's 9-0 too,
- 26:50Speaker 2: I believe. He's never lost. He is a good fighter.
- 26:53Speaker 2: It's just that all the hype is around this Hassan kid.
- 26:55Speaker 2: That's who the UFC wants to win as well. So
- 26:57Speaker 2: I think we've got to pretty much get to 7,100
- 26:59Speaker 2: for me to really start hand-billed picking lineups.
- 27:03Speaker 1: For sure. And I agree with that. I mean, I
- 27:06Speaker 1: would pick Song, the easy pick. Expected to go 25 minutes.
- 27:09Speaker 1: I still don't love it, though. But I do think
- 27:11Speaker 1: most people do kind of start their lineup 7K and
- 27:14Speaker 1: above when it comes to underdogs and avoid that really
- 27:17Speaker 1: low tier. So that is a way to get different
- 27:19Speaker 1: if you are choosing to do so in large field stuff.
- 27:23Speaker 1: All right, we got five fights left. The most likely
- 27:26Speaker 1: fight to finish on the card, see Louie minus 185,
- 27:29Speaker 1: take it on Levi Rodriguez. Plus 161, minus 700 for
- 27:34Speaker 1: this fight to finish. Louie minus 165 inside the distance.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Rodriguez plus 210. Louie round one, plus 145. Rodriguez plus 325.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Both guys have taken money on the round one prop.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Louie open plus 175, now plus 145. Rodriguez open plus 350,
- 27:48Speaker 1: now plus 325. Under 1.5 opened plus 105, now minus 200. Yeah,
- 27:59Speaker 1: when we see a minus 200 for under 1.5 and 8,700
- 28:03Speaker 1: and 7,500, that is the definition of a load-up fight
- 28:06Speaker 1: for me. I guess Rodriguez is my preferred side since
- 28:09Speaker 1: he's 1,200 cheaper and we need dogs, but that is
- 28:12Speaker 1: my only logic for that. I would love to be
- 28:14Speaker 1: overweight on both, ideally. What do you see in this one?
- 28:18Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just my favorite fight to target as
- 28:21Speaker 2: a whole. I'd just be fine with either side. I
- 28:23Speaker 2: think it's going to be a banger. Both guys, strikers
- 28:26Speaker 2: going to be trying to knock the other's head off.
- 28:29Speaker 2: I don't expect takedowns, but if there are some, I
- 28:32Speaker 2: would imagine it's on the Rodriguez side. Louie is a kickboxer.
- 28:37Speaker 2: I think I saw a couple of takedowns from him,
- 28:40Speaker 2: but I just think that the Brazilian is much more
- 28:42Speaker 2: likely to have any any success on the mat, but
- 28:45Speaker 2: I just think they're going to go out there and
- 28:46Speaker 2: stand and bang. And I think one guy falls on
- 28:48Speaker 2: the first round. So first round knockout from either one
- 28:51Speaker 2: of these guys at these prices is likely on the
- 28:53Speaker 2: optimal lineup. I'm picking Louie to get it done. But if,
- 28:57Speaker 2: if I'm struggling with underdogs on this card, I have
- 28:59Speaker 2: no idea just going, I mean, no problem going to
- 29:01Speaker 2: Rodriguez instead. And that'll probably get me more, uh, Umar
- 29:05Speaker 2: exposure and, uh, maybe some Hassan as well. Yeah.
- 29:09Speaker 1: I like it. Uh, again, Great fight to target. I
- 29:13Speaker 1: hope someone gets knocked out in round one. I want
- 29:15Speaker 1: Rodriguez right now. I plan on being more overweight because
- 29:18Speaker 1: of the 1,200 savings. If I love everything in my
- 29:20Speaker 1: script and I have more Louie or more overweight there,
- 29:23Speaker 1: I'd be totally fine. But I do know I want
- 29:25Speaker 1: a bunch of this fight regardless. All right, let's get
- 29:29Speaker 1: to a rematch from May 30th of this year. Sumadarji
- 29:32Speaker 1: minus 215, Alex Perez plus 183, minus 160 for this
- 29:37Speaker 1: fight to finish. Sumadarji plus 125 inside the distance Perez
- 29:41Speaker 1: plus 300 so this fight ended uh round two due
- 29:45Speaker 1: to low blows on the Sumadarji side but man it
- 29:49Speaker 1: was I was picked Alex Perez mainly for DFS I
- 29:53Speaker 1: preferred him in the last fight he was the dog
- 29:54Speaker 1: he had the wrestling upside Sumadarji just a striker All
- 29:58Speaker 1: of that still holds true. But I have a hard
- 30:01Speaker 1: time seeing the fight go different from the first one.
- 30:03Speaker 1: And it was all Sumadarji. The speed advantage, the striking.
- 30:06Speaker 1: It wasn't even competitive. So I guess I'm not too
- 30:11Speaker 1: shocked to see it only minus 215. 10 minutes is
- 30:14Speaker 1: a small sample size. They're humans. Every day to day
- 30:17Speaker 1: is different. But man, what's Alex Perez going to come
- 30:22Speaker 1: in and do in this fight? Sumadarji got to take down.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Perez didn't. What's Perez going to come in and do
- 30:27Speaker 1: that's going to change the fight and make him win?
- 30:31Speaker 2: Just come out of the gates hot and land in takedowns,
- 30:34Speaker 2: possibly go for an early submission. But yeah, I think
- 30:37Speaker 2: Perez is going to have to have early success or
- 30:40Speaker 2: else Sumadar is just going to pick him apart and
- 30:42Speaker 2: probably finish him at some point. I could definitely see
- 30:45Speaker 2: Perez looking for the door again. Hopefully not the same
- 30:48Speaker 2: way as the last time, but I think I picked
- 30:51Speaker 2: Perez as well. And I think at $ 7, 400, I when
- 30:54Speaker 2: you're looking for DFS underdogs, he's the type of guy
- 30:56Speaker 2: you want because he is a good wrestler. He's going
- 30:58Speaker 2: to have the submission edge. He just knocked out a
- 31:01Speaker 2: Charles Johnson not too long ago too. So he's got
- 31:03Speaker 2: power in his hands, but yeah, that fight was all Sumadarji, man.
- 31:07Speaker 2: It looked like my Perez lineups were trash. I mean,
- 31:09Speaker 2: they were trash, but I felt like I was okay
- 31:12Speaker 2: going into that fight. And then Sumadarji just ruined all
- 31:16Speaker 2: my chances and Perez is lucky. He looked for a
- 31:19Speaker 2: way out because he was going to lose that fight.
- 31:20Speaker 2: And I think that, Sumadarji is the clear pick this time,
- 31:25Speaker 2: but I put it as a three and three because
- 31:27Speaker 2: Sumadarji is primarily, I would say a striker only. I
- 31:31Speaker 2: don't expect him to go out there and get takedowns.
- 31:33Speaker 2: He did in the first, he got one in the
- 31:34Speaker 2: first fight, but he's going to try and knock out Perez.
- 31:37Speaker 2: He is just a better, longer, faster striker. And I
- 31:41Speaker 2: think Perez will look for the door. So I'm fine
- 31:43Speaker 2: at $ 8, 800 for Sumadarji, but he almost needs a knockout,
- 31:46Speaker 2: I think. And then any win from Perez is going
- 31:49Speaker 2: to be all right. So 7,400, I'm okay with that still.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Who would your preferred play be if you had to choose?
- 31:54Speaker 2: What was that?
- 31:57Speaker 1: Who would your preferred play be if you had to choose?
- 32:01Speaker 2: At these prices, I guess the rest of the card
- 32:04Speaker 2: is what's going to depend on who's my preferred play.
- 32:06Speaker 2: If I'm looking for an underdog, then I'm fine with Perez.
- 32:10Speaker 2: But I guess if I'm making one lineup and I
- 32:13Speaker 2: have to use this one, gosh, I feel like I
- 32:18Speaker 2: probably wouldn't use this fight with one lineup. So maybe Sumidarji.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in the same boat. If I had one lineup,
- 32:24Speaker 1: I probably don't get there. Like, again, it's from what
- 32:27Speaker 1: I said. I think Sumadarji wins. It's hard to pick
- 32:29Speaker 1: against him from what we saw in the last fight,
- 32:32Speaker 1: but he's 8,800 over, let's see, over two and a
- 32:36Speaker 1: half is plus 105. Like more than likely, or it's
- 32:41Speaker 1: not supposed to end in the first two rounds. The
- 32:43Speaker 1: third round knockup from Sumadarji probably isn't enough. Even if
- 32:46Speaker 1: he scores 99, which is good at 8,800, it's not
- 32:49Speaker 1: guaranteed to be optimal. So, Kind of like the fight
- 32:54Speaker 1: we talked about with Long and Newsy earlier, where it's
- 32:56Speaker 1: even with the field all the way around. Perez, if
- 32:58Speaker 1: he wins, he'll score. So I want some. But I'm
- 33:01Speaker 1: picking Sumadarji even in some of his wins. Probably most
- 33:05Speaker 1: of his wins, though. He's not optimal. So I want
- 33:08Speaker 1: to taper my exposure a little bit. Around the field
- 33:10Speaker 1: on both, I guess Sumadarji may be my preferred play.
- 33:14Speaker 1: But I don't love this fight too much. But it
- 33:15Speaker 1: has outs. It has outs for the optimal at moderate ownership.
- 33:20Speaker 1: All right, we got three fights left on the card.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Big favorite, Kai Asakura, minus 470. Richie Long, plus 364.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Minus 255 inside the distance for Asakura. Excuse me, plus
- 33:32Speaker 1: 840 for Richie Long. Asakura in round one, plus 125.
- 33:37Speaker 1: So he's the fourth biggest favorite on the card, but
- 33:39Speaker 1: he is the most likely to win inside the distance
- 33:42Speaker 1: and in round one. His draw on one prop, open
- 33:45Speaker 1: plus 170. Now plus 125. His inside the distance prop
- 33:50Speaker 1: open minus 200, now minus 255. He's 9,400, 100 less
- 33:55Speaker 1: than Umar, 200 less than Hassan. He's fighting with a
- 33:58Speaker 1: really tough group in the upper tier. But, man, he
- 34:02Speaker 1: should style on a Richie Long. I think he knocks
- 34:04Speaker 1: him out in round one. You're just hoping, I guess,
- 34:06Speaker 1: you get more than one knockdown, I guess. But, yeah,
- 34:09Speaker 1: I'm going to play Asakura. How does he match up
- 34:11Speaker 1: against those other guys? I prefer Umar in a vacuum.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I prefer a sign in a vacuum, but it's a
- 34:17Speaker 1: $ 200 difference. And if you leave that 200, it's a
- 34:19Speaker 1: way to get different. I don't even hate leaving the
- 34:21Speaker 1: 100 and really chalky lineups from Umar, but it is
- 34:24Speaker 1: a little scary. What are your thoughts on, yeah, leaving
- 34:26Speaker 1: the money from Umar from a sign and then just
- 34:29Speaker 1: this fight in general. Yeah.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Um, I'm fine with it. Cause I do like Oscar
- 34:34Speaker 2: to get a first round knockout. Another one where Arishi
- 34:37Speaker 2: Lang's aggression probably is going to help that happen. Um,
- 34:41Speaker 2: If Asakura doesn't get a first-round knockout, I really don't
- 34:43Speaker 2: like the $ 9, 400. I just don't think he has 170
- 34:47Speaker 2: strikes in his game like Hassan could. So, first-round knockout
- 34:52Speaker 2: or bust at $ 9, 400, I'd say. Richie Lang, maybe he's
- 34:56Speaker 2: the lowest I'd want to go with hand-built lineups. He
- 34:59Speaker 2: is an aggressive fighter. If he wins, I'd expect him
- 35:01Speaker 2: to score well, but I just think he gets knocked
- 35:05Speaker 2: out early.
- 35:07Speaker 1: I do, too. Well, yeah, now that you're saying it, what, plus...
- 35:10Speaker 1: Let's get out that good old odds converter. He is
- 35:13Speaker 1: plus 363. Is that what he was? Plus 364. Plus
- 35:19Speaker 1: 364 is 21.6%, and his ownership will probably be about
- 35:23Speaker 1: half that. So, again, that's why if you're looking at
- 35:26Speaker 1: contest flashback on SaberSim or other reverse engineering what the
- 35:30Speaker 1: pros do, when they play 150, even if they're playing
- 35:33Speaker 1: 75-plus teams, usually they're playing every single fighter because every
- 35:36Speaker 1: fighter does have a chance. to win if you believe
- 35:40Speaker 1: that odds are somewhat efficient. Plus 364 is 21.5%. We
- 35:44Speaker 1: play an ownership-based game. When you win, how much do
- 35:46Speaker 1: you win? A reach you long checks out to be
- 35:49Speaker 1: one of the more solid plays when dumpster diving, if
- 35:52Speaker 1: you are looking at all that. So I don't hate it.
- 35:55Speaker 1: And we just saw in a contender series on Tuesday,
- 35:58Speaker 1: what was Frank Muir's daughter or whatever? Was like minus 5,000
- 36:01Speaker 1: favorite or loss or something? Like anything can happen.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Minus 6,000. Minus 6,000.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Loses a unanimous decision. So, yeah, the lower the level,
- 36:12Speaker 1: the more likely randomness, I guess, happens. But minus 6,000
- 36:15Speaker 1: is minus 6,000. So maybe a Richie Long gets the
- 36:19Speaker 1: job done and breaks the slate this week. All right,
- 36:22Speaker 1: two fights left. Co-main event time. One expected to go
- 36:25Speaker 1: the distance. Jan Jaunan, minus 150. Denise Gomes, plus 130.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Plus 200 for this fight to finish. The underdog in Gomes,
- 36:33Speaker 1: better inside the distance prop, plus 310. Jan, plus 525.
- 36:38Speaker 1: I mean, paying $ 8, 500 for someone that's plus $ 525 inside
- 36:43Speaker 1: the distance who is a striker is just not something
- 36:46Speaker 1: I'm looking to do. So Jonan's a fade. And I'm
- 36:50Speaker 1: going to play some Gomes, though. A, she has a
- 36:52Speaker 1: better inside the distance prop at plus $ 310. If someone wrestles,
- 36:55Speaker 1: I think it's her. And she has some knockout power.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Seven of her 12 wins by KO. So do I
- 37:00Speaker 1: love Gomes? No. I think Jan probably wins the decision.
- 37:04Speaker 1: But if having to choose a fighter for DFS... I'm
- 37:07Speaker 1: definitely saving the 800. So it's Gomes or bust for me.
- 37:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I agree. I'm picking Jan to win.
- 37:12Speaker 2: I think it mostly stays on the feet and Jan
- 37:14Speaker 2: is the better, more powerful striker, I think. And it
- 37:17Speaker 2: is in China, but she does struggle off her back
- 37:21Speaker 2: and she's 37 years old now. Younger fighter, 10 years
- 37:25Speaker 2: younger wins like 66% of the time. So maybe the
- 37:28Speaker 2: odds should be a little bit closer. And if Gomes
- 37:31Speaker 2: does win, I think she'll probably score more than 10
- 37:33Speaker 2: X that $ 7, 700 price. So, I'm cool with her being
- 37:36Speaker 2: the preferred player of the two, especially because I really
- 37:38Speaker 2: don't care for this fight very much. It's hard to
- 37:41Speaker 2: pay $ 8, 500 for Yana, a really pure striker.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Yeah, very, very tough for me to do that. If
- 37:47Speaker 1: I had to fade one fighter on the card above 7K,
- 37:50Speaker 1: I think that is the one I am choosing this week.
- 37:54Speaker 1: All right, it's time for the main events. I will
- 37:57Speaker 1: be up for this one for sure. We have a
- 37:59Speaker 1: big favorite in Umar Namagomedov coming in at minus 600.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Taking on the hometown guy in Song Yedong, plus 425,
- 38:07Speaker 1: plus 170 for this fight to finish. Umar, plus 215
- 38:11Speaker 1: inside the distance. Song, plus 675. Umar, round one, plus 700.
- 38:16Speaker 1: He's not probably going to finish, but all but one
- 38:19Speaker 1: of his wins have scored over 100. With that being said,
- 38:23Speaker 1: is 105 enough on this card? Is 110 enough on
- 38:27Speaker 1: this card? I'm not sure. I'm definitely going to play Umar.
- 38:30Speaker 1: I think he's a monster. He's going to wrestle. When
- 38:32Speaker 1: you wrestle for 25 minutes, you always have all the
- 38:35Speaker 1: upside in the world. But there are fights. Like the
- 38:37Speaker 1: Figge fight last time, I think he scored 75. It
- 38:41Speaker 1: was a three-run fight. But even if that was a
- 38:44Speaker 1: 25-minute fight, he wasn't going to get there more than likely.
- 38:47Speaker 1: So I don't think this is an all-in fight. I'm
- 38:49Speaker 1: definitely going to play Umar. But I think you can, again,
- 38:51Speaker 1: drop Umar to Asakura and leave 100. And that's a
- 38:54Speaker 1: way you can get different. As far as the Song
- 38:57Speaker 1: Yedong side... I don't love it, but he's 6,700 in
- 39:00Speaker 1: a fight that's expected to go 25 minutes. He could
- 39:05Speaker 1: back himself in to 45 DraftKings points just doing random stuff.
- 39:09Speaker 1: If no underdogs win or very few win, 6,700 can
- 39:13Speaker 1: open up a lot, especially if the upper tier absolutely smashes,
- 39:16Speaker 1: which is very possible. So I think he comes in
- 39:19Speaker 1: over-owned because he's the main event fighter. So I'll probably
- 39:23Speaker 1: be underweight, but I don't think fading Song's my favorite approach.
- 39:27Speaker 1: But yeah, I do think that Richie Long pivot is
- 39:29Speaker 1: very interesting. More than his median projection will be way worse.
- 39:34Speaker 1: When Song wins versus a Richie Long, it actually might
- 39:36Speaker 1: be relatively close, but I do think a Richie Long
- 39:39Speaker 1: more likely to win by a decent bit, which books
- 39:42Speaker 1: are saying as well. So Umar Aminan, not a lock. Song,
- 39:45Speaker 1: I think is an underweight play. I think he's over-owned.
- 39:48Speaker 1: but I think he can get there in a loss sometimes.
- 39:51Speaker 1: What are you doing in this one?
- 39:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably going to load up on Umar just
- 39:54Speaker 2: because he, his clear edge in this one would be
- 39:57Speaker 2: the wrestling and he could rack up 10 takedowns in
- 40:00Speaker 2: this fight with 25 minutes to work with. Song Yudong
- 40:03Speaker 2: is a nasty striker. I mean, Umar's a good striker too,
- 40:06Speaker 2: but that's how he could lose the fight is staying
- 40:09Speaker 2: on the feet too long because Yudong could knock him out.
- 40:12Speaker 2: And if it, if we are taking out takedowns, I
- 40:14Speaker 2: think Yudong could win a five round striking base decision too. But,
- 40:19Speaker 2: Since that's the case, I think Umar will be going
- 40:21Speaker 2: pretty wrestle heavy in this one. He could be pretty
- 40:24Speaker 2: active too. I think he has probably the highest ceiling
- 40:27Speaker 2: on the card, especially in the decision. So 9,500, I
- 40:31Speaker 2: like him more than Saruya. I like him more than
- 40:33Speaker 2: Hassan and Asakura too. So he's probably my favorite fight
- 40:37Speaker 2: on the card. And if I'm hand-building, I'm probably not
- 40:40Speaker 2: going to get to Yedong. But with MME, yeah, you
- 40:43Speaker 2: got to mix him in because, I mean, he is–
- 40:45Speaker 2: a top-notch fighter, and it wouldn't shock me to see
- 40:47Speaker 2: him knock out Umar and completely be on the optimal lineup.
- 40:51Speaker 1: For sure. Yeah, he's a top-notch fighter when you do
- 40:54Speaker 1: play an underdog like that. No, return. Sorry. When you
- 41:00Speaker 1: do play an underdog that's such a big underdog like this,
- 41:03Speaker 1: you want him to be elite. That is what Song
- 41:06Speaker 1: Yedong is. If he can keep it on the feet,
- 41:08Speaker 1: which is a lot bigger if than I expect, yeah,
- 41:13Speaker 1: he could piece up Umar, go to the light kicks. Nurmagomedov, though,
- 41:16Speaker 1: it's just not something I bet against. And it's been
- 41:19Speaker 1: profitable going about that. So I'm going to continue to
- 41:23Speaker 1: play a lot of Umar and be underweight on his opponents.
- 41:26Speaker 1: That is all 13 fights. Again, this is in Shanghai,
- 41:29Speaker 1: China at 3 a.m.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Eastern.
- 41:31Speaker 1: So make sure you do get all your lineups in
- 41:33Speaker 1: Friday night. All of our content will be uploaded in
- 41:37Speaker 1: the Sabreson projections ownership. We are just waiting on FanDuel
- 41:40Speaker 1: to add Louis Say and Levi Rodriguez, which is our
- 41:44Speaker 1: favorite fight to target on the card. So come on, FanDuel.
- 41:47Speaker 1: Get that up. I got nothing more to add. Always
- 41:50Speaker 1: love talking fights with you. I think this could be
- 41:51Speaker 1: a sneaky good card in terms of violence. If you're
- 41:54Speaker 1: watching it, definitely have some fun. I will probably be
- 41:57Speaker 1: trying to wake up to a sweat over here. Good luck,
- 42:00Speaker 1: Big Marley. Any final thoughts from you?
- 42:02Speaker 2: Yeah, man. I hope to wake up to a sweat
- 42:05Speaker 2: as well. I hate when the cards are at 3 a.m.
- 42:06Speaker 2: There's just no way I'm going to wake up that early.
- 42:08Speaker 2: But I'm cool missing those. you know, first three fights.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Hopefully I wake up to that Woods and Jenkins fight
- 42:15Speaker 2: with a little bit of, I don't know if I'll
- 42:17Speaker 2: have a sweat unless I guess Louie, Louie or Santiago.
- 42:20Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll see about it at that point.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Maybe I'll wake up later, but China card, I'm going
- 42:25Speaker 2: to need a sweat for it to be interesting. So
- 42:26Speaker 2: good luck to you, title. Good luck to everybody listening.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Let's ship it.
- 42:30Speaker 1: Absolutely. I'll probably be waking up. Maybe the Hassan fight,
- 42:33Speaker 1: maybe Sumadar. I don't know. The little one has been
- 42:36Speaker 1: up a lot, starting to, T starting to pop through,
- 42:39Speaker 1: but the wife has been a trooper taking care of
- 42:41Speaker 1: most of it. So maybe I'll take a shift and
- 42:43Speaker 1: watch it or something, trying to get them down. But
- 42:45Speaker 1: we'll see. Appreciate everyone hanging out. Hit that like, hit
