All right, gents, 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: let's dive in the main event featuring Amanda Heabs and Rose. 27 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,279 Speaker 1: Na'm a unis what do we like this week? Soarrola, 28 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: how do you break down the fight and how would you. 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 4: Like to bett Billy and I both on the underdog 30 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 4: side of this matchup, I think we would agree that 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 4: he Bus has the submission or dominant control grappling upside 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 4: and a plus money, and across a twenty five minute fight, 33 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: I think she does get Rose down at some point, 34 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 4: either threatens the submission or holds control for extended time. 35 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 4: Rose does not a good takedown event sixty percent across 36 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 4: her UFC career, Senior get put on her back, not 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 4: only put her in a rack, though, but held there 38 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 4: for long stretching. She tends to close her guard and 39 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 4: she's comfortable kind of waiting out the round on her back. 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 4: She's the much better striker in this matchup technically, but 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 4: in terms of volume, I think Rebos can actually pull 42 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 4: ahead over the course of twenty five minutes. The main 43 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 4: concern on the Hebaut side is Cardi and the fact 44 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 4: that she hasn't tested it across twenty five minutes before. 45 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 3: These are two former. 46 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 4: Strawweights now fighting up at one twenty five at flyweight. 47 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 4: Na Mahun has never had the best cardio at one 48 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 4: point fifteen, maybe fighting at one twenty five now her 49 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: gas tank is a little bit better, but her output 50 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 4: and her effectiveness tends to wane in the later rounds 51 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 4: of fights. She's proven that across multiple twenty five minute fights. 52 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 4: Now he must just tychically build it later on in 53 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 4: her fights and getting better in the third round and 54 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 4: adding on volume in the third round and building so 55 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 4: while she never has been twenty five minutes in her career, 56 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 4: the pace that she's keeping, the momentum that she has 57 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 4: at the ENERR fights, leads me to believe that she 58 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 4: is going to have pretty so fish and cardio to 59 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 4: get through a twenty five minute fight. So normally I'm 60 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 4: automatically targeting against these fighters who have no main event experience, 61 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 4: no five round experience in their first MANDI event, especially 62 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: when they're facing fighter in another main event that has 63 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 4: five round experience. But I think given the cardio dynamics 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 4: we've seen for both fighters in the past, at worst, 65 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 4: I think this cardio is equal and if not, would 66 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 4: favor he Boss in that department. So more grappling upside, 67 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: potentially more volume across a twenty five minute fight, and 68 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: then maybe better cardio. Two have to take Keybus here 69 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 4: at plus one ninety. I think there's a chance that 70 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 4: Rose can knock her out early, catch her. 71 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: She's the much better boxer. 72 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: She hits harder, But I think he Us has, as 73 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: I said, all the grappling upside, and I guess my 74 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 4: other concern too is just maybe the mental state of Hebas. 75 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 3: She's talked about wanting. 76 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 4: To fight for a BMF title in the future, and 77 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: you don't fight for a BMF title trying to control 78 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 4: people on the ground or submit them. You fight for 79 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 4: a BMF title slugging it out on the feet, and 80 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: that's not really the type of fighter she is. She 81 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: doesn't have huge power in her hands. She's not like 82 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 4: this electric boxer, you know, electric combination puncher, but she 83 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 4: does put out a lot of volume, and I think 84 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: that could put her head on the scorecards. This one 85 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 4: doesn't reach a decision, so Billy, I'm sure you have 86 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 4: pretty similar thoughts though with regards to grappling specifically. 87 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, the grappling's obviously huge. You know, I'm always a 88 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 5: sucker for the double black belt. You got the judo 89 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 5: and jiu JITs who black belt been training like since 90 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 5: she was in diapers or whatever with her dad's who's 91 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 5: fairly well known grappler himself. But the other thing, and 92 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 5: it's not even really so much of a technical analysis 93 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 5: or whatever because you nailed that a Zerillo, But I 94 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 5: don't know that Rose wants to be doing this anymore. 95 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 5: Like since that, you know, fight against Wiley Asparzo where 96 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 5: she kind of didn't really engage and could have gone 97 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 5: her way, but nothing really happened, so you know, can't 98 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 5: be mad about that. Comes back took like a year 99 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 5: and a half off, didn't look super engaged against Fiora better. 100 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 5: You know, she was trying out there, but it still 101 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 5: didn't seem like she wasn't the thug rows of old 102 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 5: where she was really out here aggressively hunting stuff. She's 103 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 5: kind of just point fighting, dancing around doing her thing 104 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 5: can be kind of effective, kind of not. And then 105 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 5: on the other side, he was in her last fight, 106 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 5: we saw her like really open up with some striking 107 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 5: for the first time. In her career. You know Lanza 108 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 5: spinning wheelkick, follows up on the ground, picks up her 109 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 5: first UFC knockout, So you know, you nailed a lot 110 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 5: of the technical stuff. I don't worry too much about 111 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 5: cardio with these lighter weight classes, just because even when 112 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 5: they do get tired, their version of being tired is 113 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 5: nowhere near like you know, two hundred and sixty five 114 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 5: pound men being tired. It's it's still you know, they 115 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 5: can still operate a little bit. So I'm not super 116 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 5: worried about that. Hebus's three losses in the UFC, two 117 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 5: of them were at flyweight. I know this is at flyweight, 118 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 5: so in theory that seems like a bad thing. But 119 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 5: Rose isn't a big flyweight by any stretch, you know, 120 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 5: former strawweight herself, So I think not being so much 121 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 5: smaller than our opponent helps Hebus here. Hebus actually has 122 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 5: an inch or so in reach, which not a huge deal, 123 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 5: but she's not massively undersized like she sometimes is. So yeah, 124 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 5: I'm kind of surprised at the price for getting it 125 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 5: was plus two h five or something on Sunday or Monday. 126 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 5: I just the technical stuff matters. But if you don't 127 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 5: want to be here, and you don't want to be 128 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 5: fighting anymore. Trevor Whitman's not going to be in her 129 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 5: corner again, which worries me for Rose. There's just so 130 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 5: much of that, outside of the cage stuff that I 131 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 5: can't bet on Rose, and I think it's a perfect 132 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 5: fate opportunity. This could be the downfall. I know they're 133 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 5: about the same age, but we might have seen the 134 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 5: best of her already, and she's if you don't have 135 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 5: it anymore, you don't have it, and there's nothing wrong 136 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 5: with that, but obviously not someone we want to bet 137 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 5: on in those circumstances. 138 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 3: Hebus is thirty rows thirty one. 139 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: Is there a situation where either of you might come 140 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: in on Hebus if it doesn't go well early, or 141 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: do I counter and say pre fight if the price 142 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: comes down on the money line for Hebus? Is there 143 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: an angle for the other side, possibly just for the audience, 144 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: Given the. 145 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 4: Fact that she's never been twenty five minutes, It is 146 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 4: difficult to justify the live bet because, as I said. 147 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 3: We're sort of projecting her. 148 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 4: Cardio based on how she's doing at the end of 149 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: her fifteen minute fights across at twenty five minute fight, 150 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 4: so I think it's fifty to fifty. I think the 151 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 4: scenario in which I bet hebus is she loses like 152 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: the first four minutes a round one striking, and then 153 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 4: she mixes it up and goes for a takedown at 154 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 4: the end of the round, and you're like, Okay, she 155 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 4: has that in her back pocket. 156 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: She can hit the takedown when she wants. 157 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 4: It, So yeah, I think if her price blows out 158 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: a limit after round one, raft around two. But she's 159 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 4: shown that she can hit a takedown and control Rose 160 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 4: for a little bit, but that doesn't necessarily win her 161 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 4: that specific round. I think that's where I'd want to enter, 162 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: is showing proving that she can get the fight to 163 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: the ground, but not necessarily winning the fight. 164 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 3: To that one. 165 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to the fight of the night. We've 166 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: got Talbot and Simon the matchup and the bantamweight. Taking 167 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: a look at the price right now. Over at bet 168 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: MGM you can find Cameron's about a slight dog and 169 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: yet Talbot is the favorite. Same question, how do we 170 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: assess the fight generally speaking? 171 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: Zerillo? 172 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: And then what angle. 173 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: Might you want to take to bet this fight? 174 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 5: Yeah? 175 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: As a banger. 176 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 4: This is very similar, you know, in terms of trajectory 177 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 4: of these prospects for the Christian Rodriguez and Isaac Dulgarian 178 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: fight last week. I love these type of fights. I 179 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 4: love seeing the UFC pair offf some of their top 180 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 4: prospects and letting them go out it. Peyton Talbot getting 181 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: a lot of Sean O'Malley comparisons just because of his size, 182 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: the division, the length of hy Zeke throws a ton 183 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: of volume. He is the taller and longer fighter in 184 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: this matchup two inches taller, three inches longer. But I 185 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: think Saman is the more proven prospect, and I think 186 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 4: Saman also has the grappling upside in this fight. I 187 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 4: don't think he's going to necessarily make use of it 188 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 4: or even successfully be able to deploy it. I don't 189 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 4: think he's going to be able to control Talbot for 190 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 4: long stretches, but I do think there's a chance to 191 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 4: Talbot because when Talbat gets up, he tends to give 192 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 4: up his back. So I think there's a chance that 193 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 4: Salmon can lock in a body triangle, win around that way, 194 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: and then win another fifty to fifty round and eventually 195 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: pull out the fight. My either concern at Talbot two, 196 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 4: even though he is taller and longer, I don't think 197 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 4: he makes as much use of his length as a 198 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 4: guy with that size Legomalley, who you'd expect him to. 199 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: He actually prefers the box of the pocket be much 200 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 4: closer to his opponents, and that tends to favor Samon. 201 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 4: You know, the shorter fighter if they're going to be 202 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 4: fighting in closer. So I think this is going to 203 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: be really competitive. I think it's going to be really close. 204 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be fought at the pace 205 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 4: where you'd expect one of them to get finished. I 206 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 4: think it's to be super high paced. But I think 207 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 4: they're both super durable and ultimately goes to a close 208 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 4: and competitive decision. So I lean to Saman. I lean 209 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 4: to the over. I'm probably not betting this fight. There 210 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 4: seems to be one of these like flag planting fights 211 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 4: every week where everybody just wants to be on one 212 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 4: side or the other and you know, choose their fighter. 213 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 4: I don't really feel a need to jump in on 214 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 4: those fights because I think oftentimes people are projecting, you know, 215 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: their opinions onto the fighter. Where I think the line 216 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 4: is probably about right here ultimately given the size advantage. 217 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 4: But it's this is just going to be a war, 218 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 4: and I probably don't want any money on it. Maybe 219 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 4: either fighter by decision would be the way I would 220 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: poke it, just to have, you know, a nice juicy 221 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: loust money prop for one of them. Do I expect 222 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 4: to ultimately win by decision, but likely a pass for me. 223 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 4: I think Billy is more of a preference on a 224 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 4: side though. 225 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, sorry, no, I'm definitely taking Peyton Talbot here. There's 226 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 5: a couple of things. He's somehow taller and longer, but 227 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 5: also the bigger, stronger fighter if you look at them 228 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: physic wise, I'm not sure how Talbot makes one thirty five, 229 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 5: much like Christian Rodriguez, who we just saw beat Simon 230 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 5: while missing weight and then jump up to one forty five. 231 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 5: I don't know how long for bantamweight Peyton Talbot is 232 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 5: it Just if you look at him, it doesn't look 233 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 5: like this should work. The big thing I saw technically 234 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 5: is he does a really good job fighting orthodox against lefties, 235 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 5: and we saw that in his UFC debut. He's always 236 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 5: winning the front foot battle. He's not trying to jab 237 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 5: you into that shorthand the way a lot of guys do. 238 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 5: He's leading his attacks with his rear hand and his 239 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 5: rear kicks. He's got really good kicks. I see your 240 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 5: point about he does get in too close and doesn't 241 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 5: use the range as well, but he has really good 242 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 5: knees and elbows in there, so he kind of at 243 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 5: least counteracts that. And then on the grappling side, when 244 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 5: Talbot gets control, he's prioritizing position, looking to land damage 245 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 5: and then he'll go for some stuff. Simon, if you 246 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 5: watch him grapple, he's got some takedowns in his arsenal, 247 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 5: but he'll kind of take some bad risk looking for 248 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 5: submissions where if it doesn't work out, then he gives 249 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 5: up the position. And that's cool against lower level competition. 250 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 5: Once you start fighting these tough guys who aren't who 251 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 5: you aren't going to hit the sub on, you don't 252 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 5: get that all of a sudden you're in a bad spot. 253 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: And I know that in theory, Simon has more UFC 254 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 5: or not in theory, he has more UFC experience. In theory, 255 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 5: he's more tested. If you look at these guys records, 256 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 5: I don't know how true that is. The guys that 257 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 5: Simon beat are two and five in the UFC. Both 258 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 5: of those wins were split decisions by man of Martinez, 259 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 5: so like he could have easily fought three guys without 260 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 5: UFC wins until Christian Rodriguez, who beat him Peyton Talbot. 261 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 5: The only fight of his career against someone with the 262 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 5: overall losing record was his debut. He fought a fellow 263 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 5: debut tante, and they've given him tough fights this whole time, 264 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 5: Nick Aguire, you know, not the toughest UFC debut, but 265 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 5: like in the broad scheme of things, he's been tested 266 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 5: a little bit despite less UFC fights. He's a little 267 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 5: bit older, a little bit more polished. I don't love 268 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 5: the price at minus one fifty or so, but I 269 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 5: kind of don't see how Simon gets this one done. 270 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 5: I don't think he gets the takedowns. You know, Talbot's 271 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 5: defended like ninety percent of the takedowns he's seen across 272 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 5: Contender series and his UFC debut. Don't love that he 273 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 5: gave up all that control time in round one, but 274 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 5: he's still getting better. And that's like the guy who 275 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 5: really wanted to grapple, where Simon kind of uses grappling 276 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 5: as a as a backup plan, so I'm not as 277 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 5: worried about that. I think this ends up mostly being 278 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 5: a striking match. He got one guy hits a little 279 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 5: bit harder, a little bit more creative, and then he's 280 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 5: fighting the lefty Simon and he's just done a really 281 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 5: good job in that exchange. So those are the technical 282 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 5: reasons for me. And then outside of that, I've always 283 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 5: felt like I bet Simon a lot. It kind of 284 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 5: felt like he kept getting away with stuff early in 285 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 5: his career, like he was like, oh, that didn't look good, 286 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: but he figured out how to get a win, or 287 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 5: you know, he slipped up or gets a majority decision 288 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 5: against Manon Martinez, and I feel like that shoes kind 289 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 5: of dropped, or maybe he's not the prospect we think 290 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 5: he was, and this is going to have Talbot kind 291 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 5: of take his place in that prospect packing order. 292 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: And Talbot does have the three and a half inch 293 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: reach advantage. And then is Rillo noted the height differential 294 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: five to ten v five eight Talbot, Yeah. 295 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: He's gonna be a weight class bigger, and I think 296 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 4: the power differential that I think that's what ultimately pulls 297 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 4: my head, you know, closing competitive decision, but he's going 298 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: to land the harder shots and judge just scoring damage now, 299 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 4: So I think, just like her, he's landing the biggest 300 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 4: punch of each round. And you know that a query 301 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 4: fight that's really sticking with a lot of people because 302 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 4: Hobbit lost that round when unanimously completely control the moving ground, 303 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 4: the Salmon's not going to control him for that long 304 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 4: a period of time. I think any grappling it changes 305 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 4: here are gonna be super scrambling and then they're going 306 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 4: to return toat and go back to striking. So yeah, 307 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 4: it's just it's one of those fights where like I 308 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 4: lean to the dog because I expect it to go over, 309 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 4: I expect both guys to land one hundred plus strikes 310 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 4: and then you're kind of banking on the judges, like 311 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 4: leaning your way. But ultimately Talbot has the power advantage, 312 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 4: so they probably go his his direction in terms of 313 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 4: damage and. 314 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 5: The scrambling you mentioned. That's kind of my point about 315 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 5: how Simon likes to grapple, and I think you see 316 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 5: this a lot in guys. Honestly, a striking is kind 317 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 5: of a similar dynamic where they do kind of gimmicky, 318 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 5: flashy stuff and against lower level competition where you're just 319 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 5: a better athlete and better trained and clearly better. That 320 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 5: stuff's great. You know, he's knocking people out with spinning backfist, 321 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 5: he's diving for weird submissions and winning that position. But 322 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 5: now you're in like a dog fight against another guy 323 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: who's not gonna let you get him with that stuff. 324 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 5: It's just not a great way to win minutes from 325 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 5: Simon like he's gonna have. I put I did the 326 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 5: breakdown of this one in a full article, and I said, 327 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 5: I think Simon's got the potential for some really big 328 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 5: moments here and there, but he's not a guy who's 329 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 5: gonna consistently, like be winning at any given point in 330 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 5: the fight. And it is striking and grappling are both 331 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 5: similar in that regards, and that's a great way to 332 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 5: crush lower level competition and put together highlight reel. Not 333 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 5: a great way to fight against other, you know, similarly 334 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 5: talented fighters. 335 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Salmon's a better matchup for Salmon is 336 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 4: not a guy who throws a hundred strikes, like, not 337 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 4: a guy who throws a volume, you know, more of 338 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 4: a one strike power puncher where he can not get 339 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 4: knocked out because he's durable. But yeah, fighting fighting a 340 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 4: guy who's like employing a similar volume is you? 341 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 3: That probably goes Samon's as play. 342 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: Okay, So for Sorillo this is more of a fight. 343 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: He's just curious to watch. You got two young bucks 344 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: going out at twenty five and twenty three. Uh, Talbot 345 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: and Salmon going head to head in the bantamweight. All right, 346 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: let's go to a favorite underdog for the weekend. No, 347 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: do we have a consensus underdog this week? 348 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 3: We've won? 349 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be depending on what you want to 350 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 4: call him or the site that you're looking at. The 351 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 4: UFC is calling him egor Severino, but on a lot 352 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 4: of betting sites you will see you or to Silva, 353 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 4: So just make sure to look out for the potential 354 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 4: name differential depending on where you're betting it. But his 355 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 4: first name is Igor, his last name will either be 356 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 4: Severino or Silva depending on the website. 357 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: This is our consensus undered out. 358 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 4: Another fight between two really young guys twenty and twenty 359 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 4: five years old, respectively. His opponent is a kickboxing champion. 360 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 4: Severino is the more well rounded martial artists and I 361 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 4: just generally am going to pick the more well rounded 362 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 4: fighter at plus money. It's also not like he's twenty 363 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 4: fighting a twenty eight year old or a thirty year old. 364 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 4: He's fighting another young guy who is coming off of 365 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 4: a kickboxing career and does not have, you know, establish 366 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 4: UFC experience against guys who can actually grapple fix it up. 367 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 4: So both debutantes, you know, just taking the plus money 368 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 4: essentially and the guy who I think has the grappling upside. 369 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 4: Billy can break that one down further. But we are 370 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 4: head to head on a couple on this card, including 371 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 4: both of Billy's best bets. So my favorite underdog in 372 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 4: this card is Cody Gibson. Now he's an older random 373 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 4: weight thirty six years old. But Miles Johns is the 374 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 4: guy typically a bad against because I think he is 375 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 4: bad cardio and he's coming off of a fight where 376 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 4: he showed great cardio for the first. 377 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: Time in his career. 378 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 4: It's like, what the hell is going on here? He 379 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 4: popped for Taranna ball Hot for steroids and was suspended 380 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 4: after for six months. He's coming back from that suspension 381 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 4: now taking this fight on short notice against the guy 382 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 4: who has better cardio than him, So I probably like 383 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 4: Gibson more live after round one than I like him 384 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 4: pre fight. But I just think Gibson is going to 385 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 4: land more volume across fifteen minutes, and I think he 386 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 4: wins the third round about as consistently as John's wins 387 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 4: the first round, and I think that second round will 388 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 4: be the turning point. So getting pust money on Cody 389 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 4: Gibson in a fight that I think is just going 390 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 4: to come down to the cardio happy to take that. 391 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 4: I know Billy's against me in that fight on I 392 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 4: would imagine it's partially because the age differential and partially 393 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 4: because how John's looked in that last fight. But I 394 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 4: have serious skeptic season about John's performance career best performance 395 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: for me in his last fight, considering he immediately popped 396 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 4: her steroids after so very interesting dynamic coming off of 397 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 4: that suspension. But you know, I if you were to average, right, 398 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 4: like taking other sports, you're going to take a career 399 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 4: averager performances, You're not just gonna look at that last performance. 400 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 4: You may you may wait that last performance a little 401 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 4: bit more heavily, right, like if starting pitcher in baseball, 402 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 4: you know, last performance is like the best he's had 403 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 4: all season. 404 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: But you're still going to take somewhat of. 405 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 4: An average with the career stats, and the average of 406 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 4: Miles John's across his career is that he fades at 407 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 4: the seven and a half an, So I'm baking on 408 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 4: him regressing to that mean. We've seen fighters over performing 409 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 4: the past and Cardio and then in the next fight 410 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 4: they tend to regress towards their career average. I think 411 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 4: you can have a good night, and I think there 412 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 4: was a reason he had that good night. But Tate, 413 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 4: we'll going to take a shot against him. 414 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: Okay. 415 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: As a reminder, Billy Ward's got his article up. He 416 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: puts this out early in the week. UFC luck ratings 417 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: up in Action Network dot Com in the Action app, 418 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: And why don't we start there, Billy. 419 00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 3: We'll get to Disilva, but hit. 420 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: On Miles John's and why you believe he's actually undervalued 421 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: as the favorite of this fight. You're going against Zerulo here. 422 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. No, He's got me fired up to talk about 423 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 5: this PD issue. So, first of all, that was last 424 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 5: year when USADA was still a thing. The amount of 425 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 5: performance enhancing drugs found in his system. It was caught 426 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 5: by the State Athletic Commission. It was not caught by USADA, 427 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 5: and then the State Athletic Commission since then has actually 428 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 5: raised their threshold to the point that Johns's current test 429 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 5: wouldn't fail. Now we don't have USADA, the State Athletic 430 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 5: Commission has raised the amounts. Who's to say he's not 431 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 5: using the same amount or more of that now, like, 432 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 5: of course he is. Actually I'm going to say he 433 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 5: probably is. Why wouldn't you be. There's less testing now 434 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 5: than there was six months ago. So that's my point 435 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 5: on that. I am not worried about these guys coming 436 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 5: off overturned wins due to PDS in this post USADA era. 437 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 5: Other thing you talk about looking at their career average 438 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 5: or their career average performance. For John's that's a foreign 439 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 5: two US record, not counting his win that was overturned, 440 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 5: which was making five and two. Cody Gibson is one 441 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 5: in four, one of these guys coming back in from 442 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 5: the from the Ultimate Fighter. That season. The Ultimate Fighter 443 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 5: was horrible. It was filled with a bunch of guys 444 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 5: that the UFC didn't think was good enough to be 445 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 5: on the Contender series. It's like we're down to like 446 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 5: double a baseball, And yeah, he won a couple of 447 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 5: fights on the house. I don't really care. He's one 448 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 5: and four in the actual UFC. That's not a great look. Again, 449 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 5: being thirty six. The age is part of it. So yeah, 450 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 5: I just think I used to do exactly what Sean's saying, 451 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 5: and when a guy had a win that later there 452 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 5: was some drug testing, I'd discount him. After that you 453 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 5: saw has gone. Guys, we're not doing that anymore. When 454 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 5: we think a guy might be willing to cheat, that's 455 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 5: a reason to bet on him, not against him. In 456 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 5: these days, and if you get a win and your 457 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 5: bet pays out and two weeks later they overturn it 458 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 5: because they found something in a sample, they don't take 459 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 5: that money back. So not worried about the performance dancing 460 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 5: drugs issue. Don't think Gibson and then the other guy 461 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 5: I'm in to mention my best bet, which is also 462 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 5: against Sean. I just don't think those guys in that 463 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 5: season Ultimate Fighter worth much of anything. So that's the 464 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 5: big part of this. But you know, the drug issue 465 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 5: is is one as well. 466 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: Okay, here's your response to that. Now you're on the 467 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: same side, though, as it pertains too. 468 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 5: To Silva, I totally forgot. I was so fired up 469 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 5: to talk about it's okay, yeah, no, it's Sean nailed 470 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 5: it with all that. Like, we don't really know much 471 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 5: about either guy. One is more of MMA fighter, One 472 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 5: is more of a kickboxer. Just put on small gloves. 473 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 5: We're in a little cage. There's a lot of ways 474 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 5: this could go. They're flyweights. I think Sevarino, despite being 475 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,719 Speaker 5: more of the well rounded fighter, also seems to hit 476 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 5: a little bit harder. You know, he picked up a 477 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 5: knockout two knockdowns to get to a knockout. In his 478 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 5: Contender series fight. Lima won by decision against a guy 479 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 5: who didn't really look UFC level. Part of that was 480 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 5: because the other guy, Hickson, was running away from him, 481 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 5: So I'm not totally faulting him on that. But if 482 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 5: these lines were reversed, I would take Lima plus money too. 483 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 5: It's just kind of a structural thing. Two undefeated prospects, 484 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 5: young guys, relatively similar fight styles. Broadly speaking, one of 485 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 5: them is plus one fifty one of them one or whatever. 486 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 5: That's easy pick real quick to add onto the naming thing, though, 487 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 5: a certain sportsbook Slash Daily Fantasy Operator lists their name 488 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 5: separately across their own products, so even on one website, 489 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 5: they can't decide what this guy's name is. So be 490 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 5: sure you're paying attention that Igor. Don't worry about his 491 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 5: full name. 492 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's confusing, that could be problematic, right, he. 493 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 4: Is officially, you know, on the UFC website, he's officially 494 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 4: Igor Severino, and on most betting sites he's Egor de Silva. 495 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 4: So it's it's very confusing. But the UFC is listing 496 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 4: of the severa. 497 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 5: And topology has him as Igor do Silva Severino. 498 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well either way, like you guys said, 499 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: be mindful, he's only twenty. Maybe he's just like he 500 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: doesn't know what he wants in life yet. It's twenty 501 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: years old. 502 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 4: But it's one thing when fighters get married and change 503 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 4: their surname, and like I get, like, you know, the 504 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 4: betting sites or the UFC not sure what to call 505 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 4: them because the fans know them as one name. Like 506 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 4: we couldn't just settle on one name. We couldn't settle 507 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 4: on one surname here. Yeah, it's it's it's tough, but 508 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 4: just just be mindful. I mean, just it's he's the 509 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 4: only eger on the card, so I don't think it's 510 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 4: gonna cost too much confusion. 511 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, it's like. 512 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: When guys get traded or sign with the new team 513 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: and the DFS websites or the betting sites have the 514 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: jersey he wore from like it it's a headshot like 515 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: seven years ago or from like his previous team, and 516 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: they just never updated it. 517 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 3: So maybe it's they look at it the same way. AnyWho. 518 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 3: All right, there you go. 519 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: So there's a little pushback with some agreement on Severino 520 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: or d Silva, whatever his name is. The Action Network 521 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: podcast is presented by North Carolina's newest sportsbook, bet MGM 522 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: used the bonus code action when signing up to get 523 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars in bonus bets when you 524 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: bet just five dollars.

Terms and conditions apply. Must be twenty one 527 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: or older. Gambling problem called one eight hundred gambler. Let's 528 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: go to props before we hit the best bet discussion 529 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: between the guys. They're going against each other there, prop Zerillo, 530 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: is this a good week for prompts? 531 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 4: Uh? You know, I'm not sure. I like this card 532 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 4: for underdogs. I haven't dove too deep into the prop market, 533 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 4: but basically a system prop play for me is fading 534 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 4: Edmund Schabzian in rounds two and three. I think if 535 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 4: fights for five minutes long, Edmund Shabazian and Marlon Mirash 536 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 4: would be world championss what fights are at least fifteen 537 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 4: minutes long, and when they don't finish their opponents in 538 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 4: round one, those guys both tend to fall off a cliff. 539 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 4: In fact, Edmund Shabazian's brother also has like severe cardio 540 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 4: disadvantages after round one, so it must be a genetic 541 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 4: thing because they both fight very similarly and then fade 542 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 4: very similarly in round two. I'm not a particularly big 543 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 4: fan of a Dobson. I think he's kind of overrated 544 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 4: as a prospect, but he is super durable and I 545 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 4: think he's very likely to survive that first round and 546 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 4: very likely to work his way back to the fight 547 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 4: and as Shabazi entires. I think Dobson carries enough power 548 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 4: to hurt him and potentially get him out of there. 549 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 4: So Dobson to win in rounds two or rounds three 550 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 4: plus plus thirteen hundred and plus nineteen hundred respectively. I 551 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 4: mean I would have expected even though he's an underdog, 552 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 4: I still would have expected about eight to one and 553 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,239 Speaker 4: fifteen to one respectively at best. So definitely getting more 554 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 4: value on those numbers than I would have expected. Shabazian 555 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 4: is just a very reliable fighter to fade after seven 556 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 4: and a half minutes. Maybe he makes it to a decision, 557 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 4: but I think dobbson a good live bet after round 558 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 4: one and then I definitely want to share of his 559 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 4: round two and round three props at plus money. Don't 560 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 4: need to take big stabs there. It could even do 561 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 4: you know, zero point one or point oh five of 562 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 4: a unit, like just very small stabs. But I think 563 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 4: worth having something on dobbson round two and round three 564 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 4: and the one Billy's going to talk about too. I 565 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 4: just think there's a big price of discrepancy between the 566 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 4: money line and the knockout props, so let him go 567 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 4: ahead with that. But I think there's like definitely projected 568 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 4: value based on the differential between the win probability and 569 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 4: the actual outcomes. 570 00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 3: Billy go. 571 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, speaking of fighting brothers who have not shown us 572 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 5: much cardio in the UFC, we have one of the 573 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 5: Tafas fighting. We're hard to keep track of which one 574 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 5: because they keep subming in and out for each other. 575 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 5: This time is justin the even bigger, more powerful, punching Tafa. 576 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: So now now we're now we're keeping eye on the 577 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: first name. 578 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 3: This is where we have to keep the mindful of names. Yeah, 579 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 3: so this. 580 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 5: One as long as I bet Junior Tafa almost the 581 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 5: exact same way in this fight, like you're gonna get 582 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 5: a Tafa. We're not sure which one is gonna show 583 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 5: up in any given fight, but you know they do 584 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 5: fairly similar things. Tafa is justin is four and three 585 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 5: in the UFC. None of his wins have gone longer 586 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 5: than two minutes. He has two decision losses and then 587 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 5: one finish loss. The finish loss was two minutes and 588 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 5: ten seconds. He does one thing right. He comes out, 589 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 5: he swings heavy punches. If that doesn't work, that's pretty 590 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 5: much it. Round one A bet MGM is plus three fifty. 591 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 5: There's books where you can make parlays of round one knockout. 592 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 5: There's we can get really picky and do like within 593 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 5: the first minute or the first second minute. I believe 594 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 5: bet MGM has those. I'm not gonna get that cute. 595 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 5: Just because he's finished them all in the first two 596 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 5: minutes doesn't mean he can't pick up on it two 597 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 5: o eight or three oh three or something like that. 598 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 5: But yeah, you know, Charl's pointing out the discrepancy. He's 599 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 5: slight underdog here plus one fifty plus one sixty. Now 600 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 5: that's came down significantly. That should be so much closer 601 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 5: to either his knockout proper as round one prop Either 602 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 5: of those are fine, similar prices. I think round one's 603 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 5: a little bit longer odds, so I kind of like 604 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,239 Speaker 5: that better. But yeah, however, you want to play that 605 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 5: or you know, play them together, pretty obvious, and then 606 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 5: if you want to play it on the safer side, 607 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 5: the finish only line for justin top of his minus 608 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 5: one fifteen, those are best to get refunded if it 609 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 5: goes to a decision. Carl Williams has been to a 610 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 5: decision in all of his UFC or contender series fights 611 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 5: just the total opposite game plan Former two zero five 612 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 5: are coming up to heavyweight just looks to control fights 613 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 5: and win minutes versus a guy who's just swinging for 614 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 5: the fences, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. 615 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 5: So yeah, structural play like Seawn was pointing out with Sharbazian, 616 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 5: same deal on the other fighting brother on this card. 617 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like Williams. The most damage Williams lands 618 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 4: is the takedowns. Like he doesn't actually throw any strikes 619 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 4: at all of his fights. He's slamming people on the 620 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 4: ground and that's the most damage he's landing in the fight. 621 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 4: So I think that finish only line is interesting. But 622 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 4: to me, Williams also kind of has to fight a 623 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 4: perfect fight for fifteen minutes. I'm not sure Tafa's carry 624 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 4: power won't carry later into the fight, and if Williams 625 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 4: is getting sloppy with these takedown shots or whatever, I 626 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 4: think there's a chance that Tafa catches him. So to me, 627 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 4: Williams almost has to fight like a perfect fight for 628 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 4: fifteen minutes, where Tafa only needs one. So I think, 629 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 4: you know, not only the discrepancy between the money line 630 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 4: and the knockout prop but just also the stylistic nature 631 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 4: of it. You're laying juice on Williams who has to 632 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 4: like control him for fifteen minutes and not let him 633 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 4: get up and land one big punch. 634 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. 635 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 4: I mean, even though Tafa hasn't wont to fight outside 636 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 4: a round one, I don't think it's he's incapable of 637 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 4: being on the feet again to start round two right 638 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 4: after the opening bell and landing a knockout punch there 639 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 4: and maybe even doing it to start round three. So yeah, 640 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 4: Williams massive grappling upside, but also like needs to not 641 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 4: get clipped for fifteen minutes, and that's almost sometimes harder 642 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 4: to do than landing one. 643 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lightweight fight on the prelim card. We've 644 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: got Ogden and Hollibah, and Billy has a right. I 645 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: want to let Billy go first on this, because you 646 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: guys are we let Zerillo go first on the opposite 647 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: sides of the spectrum. So Billy, I'll let you weigh 648 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: in first on this, you think Ogden is the favorite 649 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: is actually undervalued, and then we'll let Zerillo present the 650 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: other side. 651 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's very similar to my thoughts on the 652 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 5: Miles John Cody Gibson fight where we have you know, 653 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 5: a guy coming in in Hollibas case. He won the 654 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 5: last season of The Ultimate Fighter. He was another returning fighter. 655 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 5: He went zero to four in the UFC. His first 656 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 5: go round comes back in on the show, so he's 657 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 5: officially one and four in the UFC. But his only 658 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 5: win was against another Ultimate Fighter contender who hasn't done 659 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 5: anything else in the UFC. That doesn't really prove much 660 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 5: to us. And then Ogden, much like Miles John's, is 661 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 5: coming in off of no contest that was clearly a 662 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 5: win for him. He was up two rounds to nothing, 663 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 5: had a submission on his opponent. The ref jumped in 664 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 5: thinking the opponent was asleep. He wasn't. For whatever reason, 665 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 5: I truly don't understand this. When it happens in the 666 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 5: third round, they didn't go to the scorecards. They just 667 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 5: called it a premature stoppage. These are important to watch 668 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 5: because there's been some where the submission really wasn't on 669 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 5: and the guy was fine, and there's been some where 670 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 5: it was like a matter of time and the ref 671 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 5: saved him. This was Option B. Like Nicholas Motta, was 672 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 5: definitely gonna go out from the arm triangle he was 673 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 5: in against Trey Ogden, and I've thought Treyogden his last 674 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 5: few fights one was a loss against Nacho Baha Mundez. 675 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 5: His only other UFC loss before that was a split. 676 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 5: He's looked better and better each of his fights. He's 677 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 5: not super young, he's thirty four, but he's the younger 678 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 5: fighter here, seems to be making improvements. Again, I wish 679 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 5: I was getting a little bit better price on him, 680 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 5: but minus one fifty, minus one forty five whatever in there. 681 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 5: And part of it is just structural for me, is 682 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 5: when we have a guy who looks like he hasn't 683 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 5: won a fight in two ish years, but really won 684 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 5: his last fight, I think the market's going to be 685 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 5: off on that, just kind of by default. So that's 686 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 5: the biggest thing for me, as well as the overvaluing 687 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 5: of this last season of Ultimate Fighter, which was horrible. 688 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: All right in Zeria, You're on thirty seven year old 689 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: Kurt Hallibah on the other side of the Ogden fight 690 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: for a best bet. 691 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually think Haliba should be favored here on 692 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,479 Speaker 4: the feet. Ogden to me is a leg kick merchant. 693 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 4: He's won all of his fights by grappling. He's actually 694 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 4: been submitted three times, but he's he's finished all of 695 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 4: his opponents by submission, and I think he's going to 696 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 4: get double or tripled up in terms of volume on 697 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 4: the feed here. So if this fight stays standing, I 698 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 4: think Hallibah beats the crap out of him. If they 699 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 4: end up grappling, I think Halibah is going to do 700 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 4: a lot of scrambling and make it really difficult for 701 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 4: Ogden to keep him on his back. So Ogden to me, 702 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 4: just isn't going to land the damage. I think he 703 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 4: needs to submit Hallibam if he's going to win this fight. 704 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 4: Holibah is going to be landing sufficiently more damage, significantly 705 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 4: more volume across fifteen minutes of this fight. He's going 706 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 4: to be the one applying forward pressure. He's going to 707 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 4: be the one landing more volume, and I think he's 708 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 4: going to be the one hurting his opponent. Haliba's losses 709 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 4: of actually eight aged incredibly well. He lost to three 710 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 4: top fifteen fighters in his division, Tiaga Moisis, Shane Bergos 711 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 4: when he was actually in the prime, and Ronnie Barcellos 712 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 4: came back went on the ultimate fighter beat Austinhubbard. Austin 713 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 4: Hbbard has like a five hundred record in the UFC, so, 714 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 4: you know, Holliba, I think has kind of gotten underrated 715 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 4: off of those losses and the fact that his first 716 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 4: UFC run didn't really go very well, but those were 717 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 4: extremely difficult matchups. Trey Ogden levels below either of those guys, 718 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 4: So the thirty seven year old angle definitely concerning. Once 719 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 4: you get to that age in these lighter weight classes, 720 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 4: you can fall off of a cliff at any moment. 721 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 4: If he was fighting a twenty seven year old or 722 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 4: a twenty eight year old, I'd be much more concerned 723 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 4: Ogden being thirty four also on the wrong side of 724 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 4: the age curve for the division, much less concerned about 725 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 4: the age differential between these guys. Completely agree with Billy. 726 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 4: I think Ogden has gotten much better in recent fights. 727 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 4: I believe he's taken over as the head coach of 728 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 4: Jam Krause's former JYM, so I don't like know, if 729 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 4: you know, just being in the gym or like working 730 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 4: as a coach has kind of changed his perspective on 731 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 4: fighting and how he'll round out his skill set better. 732 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 4: But I just don't think this is a particularly good 733 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 4: matchup for him. I also think, you know he won 734 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 4: is a big underdog against antel' zelb Hubert. That was 735 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 4: more so to do with zelle Hubert just staring at 736 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 4: him and letting Ogden his leg for fifteen minutes inside 737 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 4: the Apex cage. 738 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 3: That was a very odd performance. 739 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 4: So yeah, I think Agen needs to grapple successfully in 740 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 4: order to win this fight. I think there's a chance 741 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 4: that he can. But I think Hulliball is very difficult 742 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 4: to keep down and going to scramble a lot, and 743 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 4: once they're on the feet, I think he's going to 744 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 4: be in Ogden's face the entire fight. 745 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 3: So this should be a fun one. 746 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 4: I think it's likely that it goes to decision, and 747 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 4: I think both guys are pretty durable and considering the 748 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 4: volume for hulliba that's the side I want to be 749 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 4: out a plus one. 750 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: Pilly, any further pushback or you good? 751 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 3: You understand the side. 752 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 5: No, I get where he's coming from, And both of 753 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 5: these fights that we disagreed on, I wasn't really looking 754 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 5: too much at the technical side of things. I'm just 755 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 5: trying to I'm playing the market here a little bit 756 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 5: more than the fights, and Sean's making good points with 757 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 5: some of the technical stuff, although again I firmly disagree 758 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 5: on the PD angle this year now that we don't 759 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 5: really test for those anymore the same way. But yeah, 760 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 5: I get where he's coming from. It's gonna be challenging, 761 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 5: but Ogden has to have those big moments, so I 762 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 5: think you can do that. You know, smaller, cage, a 763 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,479 Speaker 5: little bit younger. Don't like betting on thirty seven year 764 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 5: olds who need to like scramble and be quick, just 765 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 5: as a as a guy getting up there in ears. 766 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 5: You're still grappling myself. That gets harder and harder every 767 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 5: year as you get older. Again, not the tray O 768 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 5: getting super young. But yeah, I'm excited for both these fights. 769 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 5: It'll be really interesting. I think both of these, to 770 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 5: an extent, are going to really let us know what 771 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 5: that last season of Ultimate Fighter really was and whether 772 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 5: it was, like I was saying, a step below the 773 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 5: Contender series, or whether it was a legitimate you know, 774 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 5: these guys are close to UFC level and just needed 775 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 5: their shot, so it'll be fun to have answers to 776 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 5: those questions. 777 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: Okay, Jents, good stuff you can find Billy and Sean 778 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: individually in. 779 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 3: The free award winning Action Network app. 780 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: Find Billy's Pluck ratings right up and be sure to 781 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: digest all the content before you make your decision. 782 00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 3: A little back and forth. 783 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: Today on the pod, it felt like I was Molly 784 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: Querrom on first take today.
