Speaker 1: The Action Network Podcast Podcast.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 2: If you are even remotely a savage, you'll run these

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: people over for a second.

4
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Action Network Podcast presented by the Fandel Sportsbook.

5
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Freendan Laschen, joined by Sean Zarrillo and

6
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: Billy Ward. It's your UFC betting preview UFC Vegas seventy four.

7
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: Is this weekend just a quick aside, it's not really

8
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: gonna size just I find and you maybe both of

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: you agree you don't do this show for one week

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: and then you gumpag into it. There was no event

11
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: last week, and you're like, I'm not the kid back.

12
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: On with the training wheels on the bike.

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy crap, I feel like I haven't talked

14
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: to but UFC in like a month and a.

15
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: Half, so I don't know. Sorry, just I couldn't help myself.

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, we took one week off and it feels

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: like forever ago we talk to talk to each other.

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: So how you dive back in though and stay and

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: stay sharp? I envy that, so thank you both for

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: doing that. Anyway, just couldn't help myself. Had to go

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: there because we weren't here last week. So It's good

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: to talk to you all again. UFC Vegas seventy four

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: this weekend from the UFC Apex Center in Las Vegas.

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: We've got thirteen fights on the car.

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: There's been some cancelations moving around, so we'll do our

26
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: best here to navigate.

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: If you are new to the pod and new to.

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: The UFC betting preview shows, it's a good way of

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: setting up people that maybe haven't tuned in before.

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: They missed us last week and we're like, where were they?

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: We talk underdogs, props, best bets.

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Our final bets as we'd like to call them, because

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: every bet is the best bet, and then we preview

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: the guys fight of the night, and we also dive

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: into the main event, which is how we will start

36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: our podcast today. Hi, Cara France, Amir al Bosi, this

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: is a very tight line.

38
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: Here's Zarrillo up at Fandel Car France at minus one ten.

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: Both fighters at minus one ten over at Fandel's sportsbook.

40
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: As I normally ask you, how do you just assess

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: the fight in general?

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 3: And then how would you like to bet the fight?

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 4: Grego versus grappler Kai car Franz the striker, amiro Bosi

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 4: the better grappler, and in an even money fight, if

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: the finishing upside I think is relatively the same on

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: both sides, I'm always going to take the grappler because

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 4: the grappler has more of a chance of winning rounds

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 4: in a dominant fashion. The upside for car France here

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: either landing a knockout or edging rounds with striking volume

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: as Albosi tries to grapple him. But if Albasi is

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 4: winning rounds, it's probably happening with dominant top position and control,

52
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: threatening submissions or finishing the fight. I think Albasi's striking

53
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 4: is getting a little bit underrated here, and I think

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: the striking may actually be closer than the grappling is,

55
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: which is a big advantage for Elbazi if that is true.

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 4: The only similar matchup we've seen for car Franz similar

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: to amiro Bosi is Rogiario Banterin he was in some

58
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: very deep submission threats, had his back taken in the

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: first round. I believe he was also wobbled in that

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: first round, bonding eventually eventually tired, car Franz finished him.

61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see how the cardio dynamics play out

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: here if this fight does extend, because car Franz really

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: hasn't been in many fights that are super high paced.

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 4: That was the one that he really was in and

65
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: he ended up outlasting his opponent. But I don't necessarily

66
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: think he's got a big cardio advantage, if a cardio

67
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: advantage at all, in this matchup. I think these two

68
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: fighters are relatively close in terms of their ability to

69
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: win the fight, and that's what the betting market tick takes.

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: But just in terms of a betting philosophy standpoint, how

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: I'm always going to play this type of a matchup,

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 4: even money fight finishing upside the same on each side.

73
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: Grap has more upside to win in dominant fashion, So

74
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: abossi at minus one ten, but I also like the

75
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 4: fight to end inside the distance at around minus one

76
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: thirty five. See it as pretty binary with the striker

77
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: versus grappler, and I think there's a chance that one

78
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: of them is completely gassing out down the stretch of

79
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 4: a high paced fight. So twenty five minutes a long

80
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: time for these flyweights. We actually see the flyweight fights

81
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: finish at a higher rate than the bandam Way fights

82
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: or the federweight fights. There's something about the one twenty

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 4: five pound division and this speed there that just leads

84
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: to more finishes than it does to the weight classes

85
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: like slightly above them that are still the smaller classes.

86
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: So Albasi and the fight to end inside the distance,

87
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm betting him down went inside the distance.

88
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: I'm probably gonna play them separate and hope we push

89
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: it worse.

90
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Billy Albosi has been sort of flying under the radar

91
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: and his class, averaging about two and a half takedowns permitted.

92
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: He's connecting on half of his attempts.

93
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: As Zarrillo mentioned, he's got some edges there on Elbosi,

94
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: so he can no longer be slept on.

95
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: Also, I should mention Billy Ward's got a right up

96
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 3: at action.

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: UFC luck ratings, So during the football season you might

98
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: see luck ratings from our our friend, Sean Zarrillo, Shanzilla,

99
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: he's right here, Sean Kerner, excuse me, see riding the

100
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: bike Sean Kerner and Nick Giffin during the football season.

101
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: Very similar.

102
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Billy kind of breaks it down and he looks at

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: the lines and sees if there's value undervalued or valued, etc.

104
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: Anyway, Hi Billy best bet for the main event.

105
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a tough one.

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 6: Sean brought up a lot of stuff I want to

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 6: get too, and I don't really disagree with any of it.

108
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 6: I'll start by saying, this is the style of fight

109
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 6: that I hate handicapping the most because it's a guy

110
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 6: who's been really, really dominant against lower level competition fighting

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 6: a guy who has a less impressive record, but he's

112
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 6: only ever lost to the best of the best. You know,

113
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 6: car Francis three UFC losses tour to the current champion,

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 6: Brandon Moreno one was to Brandon roy Vale, who I

115
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 6: think is easily top three, if not top five, in

116
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 6: the division. So it makes it tough because we haven't

117
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 6: seen al Bosie do it against guys like that doesn't

118
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 6: mean he can't. One thing I do want to say,

119
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 6: as far as the cardio, I'm not sure that car

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 6: Franz has better cardio than Albasi and like a let's

121
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 6: have him run a marathon standpoint. But and I've said

122
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 6: this on the podcast before, wrestling for twenty five minutes

123
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 6: is so much harder than trying to box or punch

124
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 6: a guy for twenty five minutes. You know, there's a

125
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 6: reason boxing championship matches or thirty six minutes and Olympic

126
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 6: wrestling matches are like eight. So I think the cardio

127
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 6: in the late round equity is actually a little bit more.

128
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 6: On Cara France's standpoint, it's just easier to defend takedowns

129
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 6: in punch than it is to constantly hunt them. He

130
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 6: also has eighty something percent takedown defense in the UFC,

131
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 6: which is real solid. You know, I was really impressed.

132
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 6: Sean mentioned the fight against Bontra and being similar. I

133
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 6: thought the fight with Askar Askarov was kind of a

134
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 6: similar setup, with Askarov wanting to take Carra Franz down.

135
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 6: Did a really good job for the most part defending

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 6: takedowns and also getting back up when he does get

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 6: taken down. Sometimes that's more important, especially with these fly weights.

138
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 6: And there's a fight we're going to talk about for

139
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 6: Fight of the Night where that's a big angle. So

140
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 6: I think car Franz will get taken down at some

141
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 6: point here. I'm not sure that he'll get held down,

142
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 6: and you know, Sean brought up real good points about

143
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 6: car Franz's best chance being you know, landed some big strikes.

144
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 6: So with that said, you know, he's plus four to

145
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 6: fifty by knockout, and I think that should be a

146
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: lot closer to his money line. I'm with Sean, I

147
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 6: think all Bozzi is gonna win minutes here unless the

148
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 6: judges really really reward car France for the striking, the

149
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 6: technical striking. Another one, Sean said, I don't think they're

150
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 6: that far apart in technical striking. You know, their ability

151
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 6: is and their technique pretty close. But car Franz has

152
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 6: so much more power. He has crazy power for a flyweight.

153
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 6: I think his knockdown rate is above the UFC average

154
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 6: for any weight class, despite being the smallest men's weight

155
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 6: class out there. So this is more of a play.

156
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 6: I just think this one should be a lot closer

157
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 6: to the money line. Probably gonna be my prop squad

158
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 6: pick this week, but plus four to fifty on the

159
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 6: knockout line is just a little bit too long for

160
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 6: a guy with that kind of power.

161
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 4: I don't even know if it is his power. It's

162
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: like his hand speed. He he seems to get his

163
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: hands to the target so quickly and accurately. It almost

164
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: like surprises his opponents like it. Maybe it is a

165
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: power thing, but it seems to be more byproduct of

166
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: like how quick his hands are in it. It almost

167
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 4: like surprises people. So, yeah, he's a fun fighter to watch.

168
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: This is an interesting fight, but this whole card is

169
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: very difficult for betting and the main event specifically.

170
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 6: I used to say it frequently on this podcast, and

171
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 6: I've tried to get away from it, but this is

172
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 6: one I'm way more interested in watching than betting.

173
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 5: I love the well.

174
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 6: I also said the opposite on occasional suddenly sloppy have

175
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 6: aweight fights or whatever, say yeah, I'm betting this one, but.

176
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 5: Probably won't watch it. So a little bit of there's

177
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 5: both directions there.

178
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. You have said that too. Okay, you're fair,

179
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: you're being consistent kind of. So we'll see caraen France

180
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: and the takedown defense if that can prevail, or as

181
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: the guy's kind of laid out the angles on albasi.

182
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: Okay, there's your main event breakdown.

183
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: Moving on to underdogs we like so I feel like

184
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: times that we do this podcast, you guys like betting

185
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: UFC cards that the dogs are barking dogs are there's

186
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: value in underdogs?

187
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: Is this a good week for dogs? Sean Zarillo.

188
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 4: I had to kind of force one here. There's a

189
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 4: lot of fighters I like closer to even money minus

190
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 4: one ten to minus one thirty.

191
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

192
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 4: Finding an underdog that I actually liked on this card

193
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: was a bit more difficult, but I'm going with Daniel

194
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 4: Pineda in the co main event against Alex Caseras. Is

195
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: at a size discrepancy here, He's three inches shorter at

196
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: a four inch reach disadvantage, but he hits harder. He's

197
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: the better submission grappler, and I think he's going to

198
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 4: win the early minutes. I think Cassara's finds his best

199
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: success late in this fight with a cardio advantage with

200
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: the link maybe jabbing Panda up, but in the first

201
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: two rounds specifically, I think Pineda hits harder. I think

202
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: Paneda is more likely to finish the fight, whereas Casarras

203
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: kind of needs to outpoint him over the course of

204
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes. I give Panada drastically more finishing upside, So

205
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 4: getting that finishing upside at plus one fifty five, getting

206
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: potentially the better grappler, the better wrestler at plus one

207
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 4: fifty five, Casara's can absolutely outpoint him over the course

208
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: of fifteen minutes. He's a great point fighter, but this

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: is a very competitive fight, specifically for the first two rounds,

210
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 4: so just the three round fight. Just he panated when

211
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 4: two of them, and I think he can finish it

212
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: early on as well. So Pana plus one fifty five

213
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 4: I think a solid bet. I'll probably take a look

214
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 4: at his inside the distance props as well, just because

215
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 4: I get more decision equity to Casserras.

216
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 3: Billy an underdog that you see some value.

217
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, first of all, I totally agree with Sean.

218
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 6: I think one of the reasons I'm down on betting

219
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 6: this card in general is because I don't like to

220
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 6: lay juice in MMA. But there's a lot of those

221
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 6: narrow favorites that I think are the sweet spot here.

222
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 5: There's one that I kind of like.

223
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 6: I'm not huge on it, but it just kind of

224
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 6: doesn't make sense where the line is right now, and

225
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 6: that's Johnny Munoz. His fight against Daniel Santos was supposed

226
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 6: to happen about a month ago. It got rebooked to

227
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 6: this card. The reason they got rebooked was because of

228
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 6: some Daniel Santos injury not disclosed what it was.

229
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 5: Obviously has to be somewhat minor.

230
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 6: But whatever it was that forced him to cancel that fight,

231
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 6: you could think, but have at LEAs kept him out

232
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 6: of training for a week or two, might still be lingering,

233
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 6: might be less than one hundred percent. Despite that, Muno's

234
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 6: closed when that fight was canceled, he was like plus

235
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 6: one fifty plus one fifty five range when that one

236
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 6: was canceled. You can get him for plus one eighty.

237
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 5: Now.

238
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 6: I just don't understand why if the other fighter got injured,

239
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 6: the lines moved towards the other fighter. I think Santos

240
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 6: is a better fighter. I think if we throw all

241
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 6: that out, he probably should win this one. But it

242
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 6: just doesn't make a lot of sense to me that

243
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 6: we're getting better odds on him now after his opponent

244
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 6: got hurt then we got originally. So plus one eight

245
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 6: not gonna be a huge beat for me, But just

246
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 6: kind of playing the markets in the math here doesn't

247
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 6: add up.

248
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 4: Enjoy that's sweat. Daniel Santos is like the liquid terminator.

249
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 4: That guy just does not go away. We'll get to

250
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 4: John Cassaday in a minute, but that was that was

251
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 4: one of my most painful MMA losses ever because Santos

252
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: was out like three times in the first round, just

253
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: refused to stop. So, yeah, Daniel Santos is a tough out, Willie.

254
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 5: I've been dug on him since he got to the UFC.

255
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 6: I think I've met him in every one of his fights,

256
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 6: and I was very prepared to do so again.

257
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 5: But I saw the line. Just why why are we

258
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 5: getting fourse odds on him when he's the one that

259
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 5: got hurt? Doesn't make it? Yeah, no, you may.

260
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 4: You know, as soon as you brought up the fight

261
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 4: and the fact that it was rebook that I knew exactly

262
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: where you were going, and I pulled up best fight odds. Yeah,

263
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: he closed minus one eighty five before that last part

264
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 4: was canceled. Now he's minus two thirty. So yeah, I

265
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: don't really get the line movement. You know, if we

266
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 4: if you believe that markets are efficient, why is there

267
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: fifty cent adjustment when that guy was hurt?

268
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: Okay, the fight of the night that we are previewing

269
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: looking at the Fandel sports Bok, Tim Elliott Victor Alta

270
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: Morano going head to head on the main card, Elliott

271
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: minus one eighty eight and Victor's at plus one fifty two.

272
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: How do we want to bet this one?

273
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: Sean, Yeah, I'm gonna go with Tim Elliott here, mostly

274
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: because of the takedowns and the fact that Victor are

275
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: altur Morano's kryptonite seems to be getting taken down and

276
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: getting put on his back. He has good defensive jiu jitsu,

277
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: he's a good fighter overall, but he just can't stop

278
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: himself from getting taken down. And Tim Elliott has made

279
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 4: a career out of taking on these rising prospects and

280
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: turning them away. He's a great gatekeeper and anybody who's

281
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: not like a legitimate top ten, top fifteen talent are

282
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: usually pretty easy matchups for Tim. The problem is he's

283
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: dealing with a lot of stuff outside of the cage here.

284
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 4: Not to get fully into it, but he's basically said

285
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 4: that he's going for a finish and that he wants

286
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: the MIC. He's normally a great point fighter, and he's

287
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 4: been very clear about the fact that he wants to

288
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: finish in this fight. And Carlos Altamurano has never been

289
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 4: knocked out. I believe he was knocked down in the USC,

290
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 4: but he's never been knocked out. He seems pretty durable

291
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: and Tim Elliott is not some big power puncher. He's

292
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: the kind of guy who needs to take you down

293
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 4: advanced positions and then get a submission. So normally I

294
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 4: don't put much stock into these guys talking stuff leading

295
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 4: into a fight about how they plan to win, except

296
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: but I actually do believe Tim Elliott. I'm of the

297
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: mind that he's going to stand and bang and try

298
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: to get a knockout against the guy who's very difficult

299
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 4: to knock out. So I would consider betting the under

300
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: here the fight down inside the distance. Elliott not the

301
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 4: most durable guy himself, and I you know, if he

302
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: does get the fight to the mat, I think he

303
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: can finish it. But if this was a normal fight

304
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: and I knew nothing about what was going on on

305
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: side of the cage and was just handicapping them, based

306
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 4: on what we've seen in the octagon, I think the

307
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 4: takedowns and Elliott's ability to get the takedowns for fifteen

308
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 4: minutes and consolidate position is enough to justify him as

309
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: the favorite. Am I willing to lay it at minus

310
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: one eighty minus one seventy Maybe not so much. He's

311
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: probably closer to sixty sixty five percent somewhere in there.

312
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: So there's not really a big edge, of any edge

313
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 4: at all. I don't think in the line, but I

314
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: do justify. I can't justify way he's the favorite. I

315
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: just I need to point out that it's very likely

316
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 4: that he's not going to fight like he normally does.

317
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: Billy any value in the underdog in Ault Morano or

318
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: is the favorite the right side.

319
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 6: So I've since this fight was announced, I've been convinced

320
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 6: I was gonna bet tim Elliott, thought he should be

321
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 6: a bigger favorite, And I stayed up late last night

322
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 6: watching tape on both these guys, and I've talked myself

323
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 6: into Victor Alti Morano. So to get to some of

324
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 6: Shawn's points, Alti Morano is actually a very good wrestler.

325
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 6: He might even be a better wrestler than Tim Elliott.

326
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 6: But he gets taken all down all the time because

327
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: he does a bunch of dumb spinning taekwondo stuff and

328
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 6: turns his back and gets taken down. The reason I'm

329
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 6: not as worried about that is I watched a ton

330
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 6: of Tim Elliott tape. He is horrible at holding people down.

331
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 6: He's great at getting you down, but he's not great

332
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 6: at control time, you know, fly weights, that's kind of

333
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 6: the case in general, but it was impressive how quickly

334
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 6: his opponents were all able to get back up, And

335
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 6: I think that's a problem, especially with the way we

336
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 6: judge fights now, where you don't get any points for

337
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 6: those takedowns.

338
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: It's only what you do after all.

339
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 6: To Morano, on the other hand, I was very impressed

340
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 6: with his ability to score a takedown, stay safe and

341
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 6: not get submitted because his jiu jitsu is not great,

342
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 6: but do just enough damage where he's winning minutes, winning rounds.

343
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 6: The striking is going to be absolutely wild here, you know,

344
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 6: Tim Elliott comes out and hops around on one leg

345
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 6: while throwing kicks at you all to Morano's spinning all

346
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 6: over the place. Going to be just an awesome fight

347
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 6: to watch if you love really weird stuff all the time.

348
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 6: But yeah, I just I've talked myself into it based

349
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 6: on what I see with the grappling. All to Moronto

350
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 6: does get taken down a lot, he gets right back up.

351
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 6: You know, Elliott gets takedowns, doesn't hold position well because

352
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 6: he's looking for crazy submissions and jumping all over the place,

353
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 6: which gives a lot of openings, so I think both

354
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 6: guys are going to get a ton of takedowns. If

355
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 6: you're a DFS guy, which we haven't talked about, you

356
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 6: can definitely play both of these fighters because there's just

357
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 6: going to be so many takedown points scored. But given

358
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 6: the odds, and given the way I see the grappling,

359
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 6: the striking is just too close to call because they're

360
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 6: both such weird smobiles. But given the way I see

361
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 6: the grappling, I like all to Morano at the odds.

362
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 6: I see Sean's pointing about inside the distance. I'm not convinced.

363
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 6: I don't think either of them have big power, but

364
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 6: you know, Sean's playing the narrative outside of the cage,

365
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 6: which matters especially in individual sports, but not something I'm

366
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 6: willing to necessarily better. So alter Morano plus money again,

367
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 6: not a huge batform. We don't love a ton of

368
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 6: underdogs here, but I've talked myself into it.

369
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 4: I think it's more just in a fight that's difficult

370
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 4: to get a read on, I'd rather play plus one

371
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 4: eighty and root for the insanity than bet minus one

372
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 4: eighty and hope Tim Elliott doesn't go insane and get

373
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 4: knocked out. So yeah, it's just a pricing thing, and

374
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 4: I honestly don't even know if I'm betting on this fight.

375
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 4: But in terms of the one I'm most interested to watch,

376
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 4: the post fight interview, I'm potentially most looking forward to. Yeah,

377
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 4: it's Tim Ellen.

378
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 6: Everyone should just go google Tim Elliott or Tim Elliott

379
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 6: Twitter or whatever.

380
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 5: The tweets have been deleted, but it's quite the ride.

381
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: You can still find them somewhere. I'm sure I'm screen

382
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: the screenshots.

383
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: Moving on to top props.

384
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: For UFC seventy four in Las Vegas. Zilla, you do

385
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: have a prop that is featured on the main card.

386
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 3: What do you have?

387
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Elizu Zeleski Dos Santos to win inside the distance

388
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 4: against a Boubakar Nurma Gametov. We're trying to take down

389
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: the Nermergametov clan. He is like the ugly stepchild, ugly

390
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 4: duckling of the Nermer ga Medov family. In terms of

391
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 4: his fighting skill, this guy is just nowhere near as

392
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 4: legitimate as the other guys with the Nurmagametov name, and

393
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 4: I think Zeleskia Dos Santos, aside from the layoff, is

394
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 4: clearly the better fighter. The problem is he hasn't fought

395
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 4: since October twenty twenty one, when he beat the breaks

396
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 4: off of Benoi. Saint Denis. Zeleski has actually fought multiple

397
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 4: guys in a row who are extremely durable, and I

398
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 4: think if he had fought lesser opponents or guys with

399
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 4: lesser chins, he would have more finishes on his record.

400
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 4: Even Saint Deny, who that fight should have been stopped

401
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 4: multiple times. He's actually followed up that loss with two

402
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: finishes of his own, so that win is aged even

403
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 4: better for Zeleski. He's the much better striker in this matchup.

404
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 4: He does do some dumb spinning stuff which is going

405
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: to get him taken down at some point, but.

406
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: He is pretty good takedown defense, pretty good.

407
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 4: Scrambling ability, and I just think he hits extremely hard

408
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 4: for the division, and his lack of finishes in recent

409
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 4: fight is more of a byproduct of his opponent's durability

410
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: than it is his lack of ability to finish her

411
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 4: hit hard. So I don't consider nurmerga Metov a particularly

412
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: durable fighter, especially compared to the guys he's faced recently.

413
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 4: I think Zeleski has a massive striking advantage if he

414
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 4: doesn't get taken down, if he gets us on the feet,

415
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 4: I absolutely think he can find the knockout. So two

416
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 4: to one to win inside the distance, Elizu is Zeleski

417
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 4: dos Santos capaera. Hopefully he pulls off cool spinning technique

418
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 4: gets as a knockout.

419
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: He gives Zeleski the edge too, just to win the fight.

420
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: He's at minus one oh six over at fandle.

421
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: Now again, like even money striker versus grappler, I'd probably

422
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: lean to the grappler on the money line just for

423
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 4: pure minute winning ability. Zeleski gets in a lot of

424
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: close decisions because he's not very high volume. He'll throw

425
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: cool stuff, but he won't do it that often. So

426
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: if you know he gets taken down once, gets hit

427
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 4: a couple of times, but he throws like two spinning kicks,

428
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: you have one judge score it one way, one judge

429
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 4: screen another way, and the third is a toss up.

430
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: It's it's if it goes fifteen, it's going to be

431
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: a what decision probably, so I'd rather take his finished props.

432
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 3: Okay, Billy's prompt is on the premium card. What do

433
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 3: you have?

434
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 6: Real quick love that Sean mentioned that Easy Dos Santo's

435
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 6: nickname is capoeira because it's just hilarious that his nickname

436
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 6: is a different sport.

437
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 5: Than the one he does. That's his style, though, No,

438
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 5: I don't know.

439
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 6: It'd be like if Lebron james nickname was football, you know,

440
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 6: like Lebron football, Like what are we doing here? But anyway, yeah,

441
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 6: but uh yeah, this is another one of those rebooked fights.

442
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 6: It's Jamie Mlarkey. He was originally supposed to have a

443
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 6: really tough fight against Germ Kutlozzi. Kutlozzi pulled out. We've

444
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 6: got some regional guy who's very not good stepping in.

445
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 6: I've you gonna try the name good. Malarkey is the

446
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 6: heaviest favorite on the card, but as inside the distance

447
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 6: line is still only minus one twenty five. I think

448
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: if you're Jamie Mlarkey and you've got guy who's not

449
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 6: UFC caliber, he was just the only one around willing

450
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 6: to step up on four days. Notice his opponent is

451
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 6: usually a featherweight stepping up to lightweight because he can't

452
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 6: make weight in time. Just a whole thing. We're getting

453
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 6: minus one twenty five on inside the distance. I think

454
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 6: if you're Malarkey, you try to get this one done early.

455
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 6: Don't take any chances, don't let anything crazy happen. The

456
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 6: only other thing I'm looking at in this fight is

457
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 6: FanDuel hasn't posted those like double round bats that I

458
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 6: like so much. If you can get the round one

459
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 6: round two prop but even better than the minus one

460
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 6: twenty five inside the distance, I'd probably hold out for that.

461
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 6: You think if inside the distances minus one twenty five

462
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 6: first two rounds will probably even money or better. So

463
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 6: don't love it, But I just don't know why there's

464
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 6: such a difference between that and his money lineos.

465
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: I considered actually putting Malarkey round two round three here.

466
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: He is a guy who consistently puts a pace on opponents,

467
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 4: finishes in round two, attritional damage wears them down physically.

468
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think his fighting style winds itself to

469
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: a lot of round two finishes, and I think round

470
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: two is a nice sweet spot. Just you know, got

471
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: to mention he went from a plus two sixty five

472
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 4: hunderdog to a minus four hundred favorite after the rebooking,

473
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 4: so he's gonna be the most heavily owned fighter I

474
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 4: would imagine be a second round finish. I think it's

475
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: nice sweet spot sing game parlay over half a round

476
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: maybe as well something like that.

477
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: Malarkey is minus four eighty at FanDuel to Billy's point

478
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: about being the biggest favorite.

479
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 6: And there's since we're getting to it a little bit,

480
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 6: two of the bigger underdogs are now heavy favorites thanks

481
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 6: to opponents pulling out, which for the DFS people, those

482
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: salaries remain fixed. So it's gonna be a really weird

483
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 6: chalky week with two extremely cheap fighters who are heavy favorites.

484
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: Now do you do you try to like be different

485
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 4: than the crowd and go against those two Billy when

486
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 4: that when something like that happens, or do you just

487
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 4: use them and try to hit on the other fighters

488
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 4: that are in the lineup.

489
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 6: I do a lot of cash games, so this is

490
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 6: one of those weeks where, like, I think the optimal

491
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 6: lineup is pretty obvious in cash games, and I think

492
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 6: you just play that and hope enough people don't that you,

493
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 6: you know, edge out a little bit profit for a tournaments,

494
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 6: though you absolutely have to. I don't think you can

495
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 6: play both Malarchy and Jim Miller and expect to not

496
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 6: have the same lineup as everyone else.

497
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 4: So yeah, maybe you go against both honestly and just

498
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 4: be completely different.

499
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 5: Or you know, multiple lineups with one or the other.

500
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 6: But I hate this kind of week for the FS

501
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 6: just because it seems like the answer is so obvious

502
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 6: that it's hard to get unique in that.

503
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 4: And I just I got to shout out our Action

504
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: Labs tools because I use it to build my DFS

505
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 4: lineups every week. It's very easy to build the rules

506
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 4: where you can go, you know, only include one of

507
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 4: Jim Miller or Malarkey, you know, include both, don't include either.

508
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 4: It's very easy to build the rules and build custom lineups.

509
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: So I just want to shout out our tools. It's

510
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 4: one of the things that I use on a weekly

511
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: basis and it helps me build you know, twenty five

512
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 4: dsf DFS lineups in five minutes ten min ups.

513
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 6: While we're on the topic, I actually did a tutorial

514
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 6: on using the optimizer over on the Fantasy Labs YouTube

515
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 6: if anyone needs to check it out.

516
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 4: It's a it's a free tool, so take advantage for

517
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 4: you know, if you're playing every week, it's completely free.

518
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: Yes, it's free. It's it's included in the free app.

519
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: You don't need to have the pro subscription into access

520
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: to the tools section. So good call out there. Before

521
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: we wrap, let's get our final bet, our best bet

522
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: for UFC Vegas seventy.

523
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: Four Zerillo as a moneyline play, what do he got?

524
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

525
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: Going with John Castaneda. He was my best bet when

526
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: he fought Daniel Willie Cas Santos and should have won

527
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: that fight, probably in the first round a couple of times.

528
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: But Daniel Santos is the liquid terminator and he does

529
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 4: not fucking go away and it is so annoying. But

530
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: this fight against Mouey Gaffarov, I think is a solid

531
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: matchup for Castaneda. Gaffrov coming in here on short notice,

532
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 4: a guy who typically slows down in his fights even

533
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: when he is a full camp, has misweight in the past,

534
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 4: misweight on his Contender Series fight. The guy he lost

535
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 4: to on Contender Series has since been cut by the UFC.

536
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: I think first round is going to be competitive, and

537
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: I think Castaneda takes over to a pretty significant degree

538
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 4: in rounds two and rounds three. I think this is

539
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 4: also another type of fight that I've talked about in

540
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: recent weeks where Gafferov may get takedowns, but he's not

541
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 4: going to do much with it. He's not going to

542
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 4: land much damage. He may have control time, but if

543
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: they're on the feet for a minute, Castaneda may land

544
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 4: more strikes in a round. So not only the cardio advantage,

545
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 4: but also the damage advantage. I think favors Castaneda in

546
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 4: terms of minute winnings. So castdata minus won thirty five

547
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: pre fight live after round one, I'd also search for

548
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 4: something minus two hundred or better as well, assuming it's

549
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 4: a close round. Something he may be edges or you know,

550
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 4: even if the line moves in his direction after a

551
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 4: close round, I think it's something I'd still be willing

552
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 4: to jump in on the cardio advantage.

553
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: All right, and Billy, your best bet is featured in

554
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: your luck ratings right up.

555
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: You see value in Dantel.

556
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 5: May's Yeah Little callback too.

557
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 6: Earlier in the podcast where I said there's sloppy heavyweight

558
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 6: fights that I'm happy to bet but don't especially.

559
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 5: Want to watch.

560
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 6: Here we are Dantel Mays is fighting Andre Rolofski, who's

561
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 6: been in the UFC since like nineteen seventy two or something.

562
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 6: I'm not sure why this line is so close Arlofski

563
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 6: is a million yearyears old. But other than just you know,

564
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 6: wanting to fade the older guy who I can't believe this,

565
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 6: he hasn't announced to retirement before this or any of

566
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 6: his last five fights. Arlosky was finished in his last

567
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 6: fight before that, two real close split decision wins. Kind

568
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 6: of don't think either those should have gone his way.

569
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 6: The bigger factor here, though, is Mays is undefeated in

570
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 6: the UFC Slash Contender Series unless his opponent takes him

571
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 6: down at least two times in a fight. Mays is

572
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 6: a good offensive grappler, but like a lot of wrestlers,

573
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 6: if you put him on his back, he's absolutely hopeless.

574
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 6: And he's a good striker. He's probably a worse technical

575
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 6: striker than Oarlovsky, but he's legitimately fourteen years younger, so

576
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 6: gonna have a lot of speed and athleticism there. But

577
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 6: you know, unless you take him down, he does pretty well.

578
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 6: Arlosky hasn't landed a takedown in any of his last

579
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 6: eleven fights, so he's obviously not going to try to

580
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 6: take anyone down. Mayes is about three inches probably in

581
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 6: the cage, thirty or forty pounds heavier, which makes takedowns

582
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 6: even harder, So not just fading the old guy, but

583
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 6: there's actually some logic and stats here. This line has

584
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 6: moved a little little bit towards Mays throughout the week.

585
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 6: You know, I think you could get him minus one

586
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 6: fifteen minus one twenty earlier, but minus one thirty is

587
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 6: still fine. I'd probably claimed about minus one fifty before

588
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 6: it scared me off.

589
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 4: Not sure if you mentioned he also has a foreignch

590
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: reach advantage, so you know that should make up for

591
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 4: some of the technical differential footwork. Differential tot of is

592
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 4: just so tough to trust as a favorite, like unbelievably untrustworthy. Yeah,

593
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: they're kind of finished in more than twenty fights, though,

594
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: so you know Ourlovsky's upside in any fight is close

595
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 4: split decision, competitive split decision, competitive decision win, twenty nine

596
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 4: to twenty eight win. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't

597
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 4: blame you for betting Mays, but he's just not a

598
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: guy I could back it.

599
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 5: Juice.

600
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 6: We all got burned on him last time against Hamdy,

601
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 6: but Handy failed his drug test for PDS. I'm going

602
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 6: to pretend that was the only reason Mays lost and

603
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 6: had the other guy not cheated.

604
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 5: We would have all cashed.

605
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: That so he would go lost to Sakai as well.

606
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 4: But yeah, and Sakai got cut too. That was It's

607
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 4: very weird. Sakai coming off the four straight losses, get

608
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 4: to win and then gets cut. So UFC very exciting

609
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 4: cutting half the roster.

610
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: Prelims start at six Eastern over on ESPN plus. Main

611
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: card gets underway at nine. I won't be able to

612
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: tell you what fights Zorillo and or Billy will actually

613
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: be watching.

614
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: Or what they may be watching but not betting.

615
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: So ugly card this week, but we found a way

616
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: to get through and we're back on the bike with

617
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: training wheels coming off.

618
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,600
