Mike. 60 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: In terms of the things you can bet on, I 61 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: want to keep this simple for the audience too, and 62 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: then we'll get a little bit more complex with the 63 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: conversation odds to win. Obviously that is the easiest one 64 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: you see it out there that was the first thing 65 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: that usually grabs you when you're looking at the fights. 66 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: Is that just your standard? 67 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: Like? 68 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: Are you always working off that? Or you somebody that 69 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: digs in a little deeper, you go to round totals 70 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: and the over under on that. Are you somebody that 71 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: goes to the victory props and by victory props? Just 72 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: so people know out there, we're talking about are you 73 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: going to win by a knockout, a TKO, a DQ, 74 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: win by submission, by decision? So there's lots of different ways. 75 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: So for you, how do you approach these different options 76 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: of betting when it comes to UFC and it comes 77 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: to these fighters in particular. 78 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, it really all depends on the line. 79 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: You know. Usually what I do first take is when 80 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: I start breaking down the fight, I look at no 81 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: Vegas lines. I try to really stay away from it. 82 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 2: I use my own perspectives, I watch my own film. 83 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: Then afterwards I kind of set a line in my 84 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: head and if that line in my head is no 85 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: way's near the line on Vegas, then I know, you 86 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 2: know what something's off here, and I start going into 87 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: the props, especially if you get a guy. If you 88 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 2: get a guy like a minus eleven hundred Frans is 89 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: there's somebody on the card on this card minus fourteen hundred. 90 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: I believe it is. And when I look at that, 91 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: that's obviously you don't want to go near that. There's 92 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: no value there unless you really believe the underdog is 93 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: coming through. Then obviously the values on that side. But 94 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: if you know deep in your heart, if you know 95 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: for a fact that that minus fourteen hundred, without a 96 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: doubt stone cold coming out, that's when you start diving 97 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: into the finishing props. One rule I do have when 98 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: lines are juiced that much, is whoever's juice to that much? 99 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: You start looking at the finishing props, or you can 100 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: cut the line in half, cut the line in three quarters. 101 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: So yeah, I go all over the board, but I 102 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: take it on a fight fight fight perspective, matchups matter, 103 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: stylus matchups, their durability, their conditioning. I take everything into 104 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: consideration and I trying to find the best nugget of 105 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: each fight. If I don't find one, then I pass 106 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: on that fight. 107 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: I think you said the most important thing too, which 108 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: is something that I think everyone who's good at this does, 109 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: which is they do the research first. They create what 110 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: the line is, they think it is in their head, 111 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: and then they go look and don't let Vegas dictate 112 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: to you. That's how you find the value of what's 113 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: going on. And as Mike was mentioning, sometimes you can 114 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: see heavy favorites in some of the bouts that we're 115 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: going to look at. But more importantly too, these different 116 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: styles really matter quite a bit too in UFC two. 117 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: And I think that typically speaking, you know, when you 118 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: get somebody, let's say, who's a great submission fighter, right, 119 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: you have somebody who's really known for that, are you 120 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: more apt to go that route or you stay away 121 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: from it because sometimes the lines are not as good 122 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: on things like that. 123 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really depends. To me. That's one of the 124 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: most important things a stylistic matchup. But what a lot 125 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: of people get a little swayed by is the when 126 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: you're talking about submission grappling. They look at the color 127 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: of the belt way too much. The belt system has 128 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: been flawed, you know, for years now. It's much more 129 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: of a business. All black belts aren't created equals. So 130 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 2: if you see a guy that is it is a 131 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: black ben Brazilian jiu jitsu under you know Marcello Garcia, 132 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: who's highly regarded, and then you've got a black belt. 133 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: Un there's somebody else you're not kind of weigh in 134 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: that on the same level that this black belt with 135 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: Marcello Garcia can actually be. I mean, this black belt 136 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: under the guy on the corner can be a white 137 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: belt in a Marchionello Garcia. So I like to look 138 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: at their competition. I like to look at how many 139 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: submissions they have. Are they a black belt? I got 140 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,559 Speaker 2: submitted eight times? Also? Are they chinny? If they're fighting 141 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: a striker, does this striker have very good takedown defense? 142 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: There's so many things involved. It's almost like if you 143 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: look at certain fighters like Arto Gaddy and Mickey Ward 144 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: and boxing, those guys just matched up perfect for a war, 145 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: no matter how times how many times they fought. There 146 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: was just a perfect recipe for a war there. That's 147 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: the stylistic matchup that you'll never see them fight anyone 148 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: else and have those kind of fights. So the stylistic 149 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: matchup means everything. There camps me and everything. Who they're 150 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: training under means everything, who they got, you know, working 151 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: on their holes, what have they been doing. Stylistic matchups 152 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: along with a couple other things are the most important 153 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: things to me, But it's really the level of the 154 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: style that they're at for me. 155 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: How important is this layoff to you? When you have 156 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: certain fighters, especially some of the older fighters. Sometimes when 157 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: you know guys were getting up there in age a 158 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: little bit, or they have come off injury, you know, 159 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: and they haven't fought a while, how do you approach those? 160 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: Are you somebody who like stays away from that sort 161 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: of situation or do you jump back in, whether it 162 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: be positive or negative. I know it's very dependent on 163 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: who the guy is. I get all that, But more 164 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: often than not, sometimes do you see where a guy 165 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: has not been fighting as much to that ripe opportunity 166 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: maybe for a big name to get upset? 167 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, So you know, it really depends one thing. 168 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: Go back to stylistic matchup. It depends what kind of 169 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: fighter you are. If you're a striker, if you're a 170 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: box er, timing is everything right. You got to get 171 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: your timing down, You got to you know, sometimes I 172 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 2: believe in bring Russ and cage Russ. If you're someone 173 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: that is a timing fighter, then yes that I look 174 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: into that and I say Listen, this is something we 175 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: really don't know. Is is timing going to be there? Going 176 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: to take him around or two to get there. But 177 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: if it's someone like the style of say of Kolbe Covington, 178 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: where it's really just get you against a cage, take 179 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: it down, there's really not much timing involved. You still 180 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: got your wrestling chops. I don't look it into it 181 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: that much. Somebody, for example, like Robert Whittaker, he was 182 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: going through a litany of injuries when he fought israel Aadasanya. 183 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: You know, everyone kind of rolled them off against Jared cannoneer, 184 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: and I knew why he took that time off. That 185 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: time off is just injury after injury after injury, sickness. 186 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: So sometimes the time off is good, sometimes the time 187 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: off is bad. But it also really depends on are 188 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: you a fighter that relies on timing or a fighter 189 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: that doesn't. So it really depends. But yeah, I do 190 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: look at legos in a positive or negative manner. It depends. 191 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: Now, look, I know you've been watching this for decades now. 192 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean I go back to the days of the 193 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: earlier UFC too, Like I remember the grace of years, 194 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: I remember the old ug taktaroff like I go back 195 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: aways baby like this. I was big into it when 196 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: I was younger. But here's my question for you. What 197 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: we've seen in the last let's say five years. Are 198 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: there trends in terms of you know, it's become a 199 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: strikekers game, ers become a submission person's game. What do 200 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: you look for when you look for some of these 201 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: younger fighters who are coming through where you think, you know, 202 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: these guys have a chance to really rise to the top. 203 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: Because I know, like every other sport, there's trends of 204 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: success and you can always kind of pinpoint them. What 205 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: in UFC, in your opinion, has been one of those. 206 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: I mean, you can never go wrong with with with 207 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: the real high pedigree wrestler, you know what I mean, 208 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 2: Like that's somebody who they have that in their back 209 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: pocket and no matter what happens, they can kind of 210 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: just say, you know what, my safety blanket. I can 211 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: get you to the ground, I could land on top 212 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: you you get the control time and send judges sent 213 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: tend to look at if you're on top, if you 214 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: finished around the top, they can send to go that way. However, 215 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: I would say, if you look at the history right now, 216 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 2: the landscape of the champion, of all the champions of 217 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: the division, they're predominantly strikers. And you look at guys 218 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: like Max Holloway, you look at even guys like Volkanowski, 219 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: who started off like a real grindy wrestler. He wins 220 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: a lot of his fights on the feet, you know 221 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 2: what I mean. So, to me, the hardest thing to 222 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 2: learn is the art of striking. And I'm a little 223 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: biased because I come from a boxing background, but there's 224 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: so many nuances involved when it comes to striking that 225 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: if you have the striking down pat and you have 226 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: some maybe god given power and stuff like that, but 227 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: you know how to create angles, you know how to 228 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: create space, you know how to manage distance. A lot 229 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: of the champions are strikers. You learn your takedown defense, 230 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: you do the bare bones, not the bare bones, but 231 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 2: you well round yourself enough to stay safe, get out 232 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 2: of bad positions, get back on the field and make 233 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: it work. Fights start on the feet for three rounds 234 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: or five rounds. They all start on the feet. So 235 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: I think, if you got to be well rounded, But 236 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 2: if I had my choice, I would much rather be 237 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 2: a much more well rounded striker than anything else. 238 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at UFC two ninety, 239 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: which is kind of coming up pretty soon July eighth. 240 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: So it's right around the corner here, and obviously Alexander 241 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: Volganovski is the favor here. It's a heavy one at 242 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: minus four fifty Yaia Rodriguez, who is a quick guy 243 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, I mean if you watch him, 244 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: and I was watching some tape on him before the 245 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: show today, certainly quick, explosive. He is at plus three forty. Now, 246 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: obviously we got a heavy face here. Is there any 247 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: potential for an upset? Because right now the Vegas line 248 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: is telling you know, and I see from your body 249 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: language it feels like it's a probable no as well. 250 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 2: Well it's fighting right like anything is sure? Sure, you 251 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: know what I mean, how many times have we seen it? 252 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: But you know, in a situation like this, you got 253 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: to you gotta look at who who Volkanowski is man, 254 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 2: And this is a guy with a thick, thick resume. 255 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: This is a guy who you know, like I said, 256 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: he's so well rounded, he's got such good work ethic 257 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: and a lot of people look at him as and 258 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: you look at this, for instance, a lot of people 259 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: are gonna look at the the height and the size. 260 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: Here you got, yeah, you're at five to eleven. You 261 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 2: have Volkanowski at five to six. However, he's got freakishly 262 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: long arms. They're real. There's no reach advantage in this fight. 263 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: Both of their reaches are exactly the same. That's something 264 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: that a lot of people don't look at when they 265 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: look at Volkanowski. But this guy just for a resume 266 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: and a litany of great fighters in a fight against Makachev, 267 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: who a lot of people thought he possibly could have won, 268 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. There's then you get a 269 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: guy like yeah or he came in he was supposed 270 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: to be like that Matrix two point oh guy. He's 271 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: very flashy. He that like up elbow knockouts. He can 272 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: make things happen. The kid can make things happen. But 273 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: you make things like that happen against guys who haven't 274 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: seen you before, guys who haven't seen that style before. 275 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: You know, he trains with the best of the best. 276 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: So I do think I never go near lines like 277 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: minus four fifty, minus five hundred because it's just too 278 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: too volatile. But they're correct for having this line juice 279 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: to a point. But this is a situation in a 280 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 2: five round fight where this is where you start looking 281 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: at props. 282 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: Okay, so when you look at the props for this one, 283 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: are you looking for a knockout by Volkanofki. 284 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: I'll start for an I'll start an inside the distance 285 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: to see where that is. That kind of covers all bases, 286 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And then yeah, then I'll 287 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: start looking for a knockout.

You've got minus one seventy on Moreno. 327 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: He is the champ. Do you see the champ defending 328 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: in this match? And do you see a way that 329 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: you might want to bet this one? 330 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: This one, believe it or not. I like the Pantosia side. 331 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: I like the dog on this side. And you know, 332 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: and one reason is is certain things in numbers. I'm 333 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: not a big numbers guy, you know what I mean, 334 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: But there are certain things in number that do have 335 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: historic have been historically proven to be a fact. And 336 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: these guys fought once before, okay, and Pantosia won that fight. Now, 337 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: stats will tell you in the rematch in the UFC 338 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 2: and MMA between you know, sixty eight to seventy percent 339 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: the fighter that won the first time does usually win 340 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: the rematch. So that's one thing. Another thing is Pantosia 341 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: is a I call him the Roberto Duran of MMA. 342 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: That's really really that's his style, bro. He this guy 343 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: is like not that Roberto Durant was underappreciated, but you know, 344 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: Pantosia is so underappreciated. This guy is just a guy 345 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: who really doesn't talk all that much. He's not big 346 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: on the microphone, he's not big on the camera. But 347 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: this guy wins. He's got a phenomenal grappling game. He's 348 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: got a relentless striking game. He's durable, he's got good cardio. 349 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: And when you look at Brandon Moreno, this is a 350 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: guy who I really like too. This guy's got unbelievable striking, 351 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: good grappling. But if you're looking at a side to 352 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: this fight, you know, you're looking at Morano at minus 353 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: one seventy five. I just don't see the value on 354 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: that there. You know, I understand he is a champion, 355 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: he's fought a very high level of competition. But Pantosha's 356 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: guy who's been silently sleeping under a blanket and nobody 357 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: pays attention to him, you know so, And it's kind 358 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy to me because I've been saying this, 359 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: me and my partner's been saying this for the year 360 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: we can't wait for Pantosia to finally get a shot. 361 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: You know, he's one of those guys that has deserved 362 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: it and never got it. Now he's going to get it. 363 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: So I see value on Pantosia. Have plus one to 364 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: forty five, and this is a line where you you 365 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: might want to wait a little bit beca because I 366 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: think that a lot of the people. Yeah, because a 367 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: lot of the people might see value on the moreno 368 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: side because they know Mirno a lot more than No 369 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 2: No Panthosia. I mean, I wouldn't let it move too much, 370 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? At plus one forty five. 371 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: If it goes down to plus one forty I would 372 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: stab it. But I see a situation where it either 373 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: holds or it does move in the opposite direction a 374 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: little bit. 375 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: Very good. So there's a value there on Pinosia. What 376 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: about in the middleway pout too. We've got Duplessis against Whittaker. 377 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: Whittaker is right number two. We got number five on Duplessis. 378 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: Obviously Dupleus is a plus two ninety five Whittaker minus 379 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: three sixty. Not a whole lot of value there. Again, 380 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: another heavy favorite. But when we're trying to dig in 381 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: a little deeper. Do you see another way potentially where 382 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: you want to might bet this one, whether it be 383 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: in the prop side or in the outcome situation. 384 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, this is an interesting fight because I 385 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: don't think Dupluses is good at all, you know, I 386 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: really really don't. I don't. I think he's an overhyped fighter. 387 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: I do respect anybody who steps into the octagon, but 388 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: this is a perfect situation that I tell all my subscribers. 389 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: You know how quickly you forget, you know, And some 390 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: of these fighters have little blips in the radar and stuff. 391 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: One fight they lose and all of a sudden, almost 392 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: like you know what the David o'nama fight last week, 393 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: for instance, I don't know if you saw that fight. 394 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: There was nobody on David Oama because he lost one 395 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: fight and it was a war. It was a split 396 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: decision that he lost. Nobody was on him. I picked 397 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: him inside the distance. He ended up winning inside the distance. 398 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: Once a fighter loses, he's losing it. He's getting chinny. 399 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: He's not durrible anymore. That's what happened with Whittaker when 400 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: he ended up fighting is he when he had the injuries, 401 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: he got knocked out, he came back. Nobody picked him 402 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: against cannoneer Hee. Whittaker has fought everybody. He has seen everybody, 403 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: he has been through it. He has beaten everybody. He's 404 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: been the champion. I think this line is actually correct 405 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: minus three seventy five against you know, against the Plass. 406 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 2: I actually do think it's correct. However, you know, I'm 407 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: not going to sit here and tell you the time 408 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: into parlays and stuff like that, but we would. 409 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: You tie to a first round? Would you try to 410 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: get him with a target? Do you think we'll not 411 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: do a first round? We would not do a first 412 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: round because Whitticker's a timing guy. Whitticker's a guy that's 413 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: kind of in and out. He's on his feet, he 414 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: tries to find his range. Sometimes he does wait a 415 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: little bit too long. But Dupless is a durable guy 416 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: in the beginning, you know, when you've got to be careful, 417 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: you have to be He'll keep you honest with his power. 418 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: So Whittaker's got to kind of touch him and feel 419 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: him out a little bit. But this is a fight 420 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: that you could look at in you know, props that 421 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: you could find, for instance, they'd have those new props, 422 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: like what is it the minus three point five plus 423 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: three pot? 424 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 2: You see those new props. 425 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: Oh they've got They're always creating new ways for it. 426 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: They're doing lines now. So basically what they do is, yeah, 427 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 2: they're doing the lines now. So those of you don't know, 428 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: you can get a fighter at minus three and a 429 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: half or plus three and a half, and if it 430 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 2: does go to the judging scorecards, you either got to 431 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: avoid a thirty twenty seven or you need a thirty 432 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 2: twenty seven, which is a good way to look. But 433 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: I just think Whittaker's got him covered everywhere. There's probably 434 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 2: gonna be a couple props, maybe double chance props I 435 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: think you could take here. But in the three round fight, 436 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: Dupless's is durable, it might go to the cards. But 437 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: I do like the Whittakers side here, like all day. 438 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: All right, there's two more fights out here. We got 439 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: the lightweight out with Jalen Turner ranked tenth he has 440 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: minus two hundred against Dan Hooker plus one eighty from 441 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: New Zealand. And then you got the middleweight out with 442 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: Tresten Gore, the heavy underdog plus eight hundred against Bo Nakal. 443 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: Do you see any value here or anything interesting with 444 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: these two remaining fights here with Turner on Hooker and 445 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: Gore in call that you think has your betting attention. 446 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, this one scares me a little bit because this 447 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: is a fight. When I go through people's resumes, I 448 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 2: tend to only go back three fights. That's it, really, 449 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 2: maybe the max five because you got why is that, Mike? 450 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: You got wear and tear on the body you have, 451 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 2: you know, you know, momentum is a big thing, and 452 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: they learn, like these guys learn every single camp. So 453 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 2: if you're going back ten fights, that okay. I like 454 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: Connor McGregor fought Dustin Poory eight years ago, right, okay, 455 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 2: But then they come back when he's a completely new 456 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: guy and it's a completely different ball game. So I 457 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 2: tend to stay within the three to five fight range. 458 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 2: I don't go past that because there's a lot of 459 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 2: things that come into play. When you look at Dan Hooker, 460 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: this is a guy who came out of the gates 461 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 2: like a bad out of hell, good striking, you know, durable, 462 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: and then he's started getting knocked out, he's started getting finished. 463 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 2: He started becoming like this guy that's been just he 464 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: needed wars. He got to all these wars. So I 465 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: do like him. But when you go back on his 466 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 2: last three fights, he was you know, knocked out by Alan, 467 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 2: he was you know, subbed by Islam. He beat Nastright, 468 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: he was killed by Chandler. So he's got a window 469 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 2: of like just wars that he's been. He's been through it. 470 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 2: You know, this kid's been through it. I think he's 471 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: very talented, but I don't think he's that drible. When 472 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 2: you look at a guy like Turner now, who's younger, 473 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 2: he's rangey, he's got good striking. He's kind of the 474 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: carbon copy of Hooker, just a lot more fresher. I 475 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: do like this to the Turner side. But yeah, the 476 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: minus two twenty five does scare me a little bit. 477 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 2: It's it's it's nothing. I probably would have that much 478 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: confidence in Stabbing. 479 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: Would you have any confidence in that match specifically because 480 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: you are so confident in Turner again, whether it be 481 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: way of victory, whether it be rounds, whether they go 482 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: into the car. 483 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think I think a good bet 484 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: on this, if you can get a good line on it, 485 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: would be Turner, you know, like a double chance like 486 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 2: or inside the inside the distance, or you could look 487 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: for a knockout or decision, because sometimes Hooker comes and 488 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 2: he finds his chin, and sometimes he leaves it at home, 489 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 2: you know. So, But yeah, there's definitely an opportunity for 490 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: inside the distance in this fight, for either side. But 491 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: I just don't I don't think there's enough plus one 492 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: seventy five. 493 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: There's not enough value on Hooker for me. Yeah, fair enough, 494 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: all right. And as far as the middleweight, about with 495 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: Gore and the colony. 496 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: Thoughts on that, nah, this fight is honestly, this is 497 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 2: just a redo. You know, Trees and Gore came out 498 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: and you know he complained about the illegal strike, the 499 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: snap of a bus. So the UFC is gonna give 500 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 2: him his wish, let him come in, let him do 501 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: his thing. But this is a flight minus fourteen hundred. 502 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 2: You could probably almost guarantee it's not going to the card. 503 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 2: So if you could find the right angle on that 504 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: and you get a good line on that, that's something 505 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,479 Speaker 2: you want to attack. But minus fourteen hundred any which way, 506 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 2: you don't even go near York. 507 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: All right, So go watch the action on July eighth, 508 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: on Saturday, and please go follow Mike Iirado over on 509 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: the Twitter machine at mad Lab MMA and check out 510 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: all his amazing work and his partners over there at 511 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: MADLABMMA dot com do tremendous work.
