Promo code dop when making a new account to get a match up to $100 on your first deposit we have pretty close pretty similar picks last week Cody except for uh and oh yeah we are recording this far in advance I’m going away on vacation next week when Mayo goes away and I
Don’t have to run the studio I look for an opportunity to get a to get away um leaving leaving the country going down to Florida um haven’t left Canada since before Co so we’ve been having some pretty nasty weather here with like storms and stuff like that looking
Forward to wearing shorts and maybe going to a beach play some golf there’s like a little like yeah there’s there’s a lot of things may go on like you know in like Florida you know like those uh those boats with like the big fans on
The back of them we may go on one of those types of trips too I’ve been on one of those fan boats it was actually really good it was like a gator f look atze of that Gator look at the size of that Gator and it was like actually
Really good time so uh yeah you’re definitely well past du for a vacation so enjoy this it’s just so sad that it’s like your vacations like you said you have to plan around Pat’s vacations and Pat’s time off because the grind goes on brother so you had the opt out that we
Could have I don’t know not filled in a different house that would been weird but Pat could have done it or maybe I could have done it myself I don’t know but fact is you were like you know what let’s just do it on Sunday right after
The fights we’re both tired it’s a late night it’s actually Super Bowl Sunday but the show goes on baby so we’re coming off a good week where we had similar picks hopefully things a line up this week and we can keep the train rolling yes sir um yeah no very very
Good the only one that we had a difference on and I hate to Pat myself on the back but it was Vieira and petan and I said like a guy with that type of skill you know getting the fight to the mat fight two things finds the arm got
Three takedowns and got the arm triangle like it looked pretty clinical when I saw him on the scales on Saturday I was just like or on on Friday I was just like he’s looking good he’s looking ready to roll yeah he was definitely looking ready to roll but uh I don’t know it
Wasn’t like on my end that losing by first round submission is bad Optics bad pick you’re right completely right but at the same time yeah it’s it’s the fight game like I’m chewing this guy up at distance his leg’s getting blown off he’s getting punched in the face I’m
Thinking to myself V’s an idiot he hasn’t even shot yet and then there’s like I don’t know halfway through the round he shoots for the first time then you’re right once he put hands on him he was obviously strong he’s picking up and slamming him he’s exhausting himself the
Plan was get out of the first round we’re like 10 seconds away from do exactly that and yeah he tapped but it was like a phantom tap he wasn’t quite all the way out like either he could have survived another 10 seconds like by the glory of the Gods had he not tapped
And they stopped I got no contest I would taking it I’m not too proud to taking no contest when things aren’t going in my favor Paul like that time Ronnie Lawrence versus Daniel arua I’ll take it all day yeah main thing is yeah dude it was a 14 fight card and then
Overall uh I went 11 and two with the no contest and then you went 12- one with a no contest so crazy but there’s bounces there’s bounces to be had and unfortunately the petosan one wasn’t one of them I had him a little high the other pick I got wrong Zak poga another
Guy I think actually could win that fight I think he can win that fight he just most sucess he had was that 90 seconds he had in the Clint Banger gusov got power for presumably that one round why go back to range and strike with him throw anyways that’s just the bounces of
The game if that was a 12 fight card you could have swept it it was a 14 Fight Card couple things went the other way the main thing is is the guys that we needed to win won the four underdogs that we went with all won for Manon in
The main event uh we’re not going to complain with a night like that no doubt no no no complaints whatsoever I just wanted to like dig you a little bit but no like the thing of yeah it’s the fight game if that round like if he doesn’t
Tap if he gets out of round like if pjan gets out of round one the fight probably like very well could get flipped on its head you know what I mean like that’s just that’s the the margins there sometimes people like oh he absolutely killed him oh my God
That was so easy it’s just like yeah it was you know rulfo’s uh it’s the reason why it’s like a 5050 fight right and that was the 50% you know domination from uh from Rulo but yeah I was not I was praying to the gods when he was there I
Was just like oh my God please tap him please tap him because I did not want it to get out of that first round trust me I the one that got me was I I actually have to work at fight Network last night for the uh they had a byb card the bare
Knuckle boxing daada 5000 and the Trion so I was driving right and I had uh the Giles fight versus prayes on the radio like my phone was connected and I could just I could listen to it through the radio couldn’t see it and it just sounds
Like Giles is fighting the fight of his life Paul he’s about to really [ __ ] screw me here and he is going through the motions and doing the damn thing and then all of a sudden it was just like plunk and he’s out that’s what whoever would have been stuck in traffic with me
Would have looked over there been like this guy’s going berserk so uh the bounces of the fight game right Ken Ken emphasize that enough yeah prus was looking pretty bad up until the point that Giles was dead he was about to go down two rounds right he knocked him out
At the end of the second so he wasn’t down two rounds but had the third started and you’re down 02 like you’ve got problems on your hands same thing with the Hermanson fight like we had Jack and and I’m watching it I’m thinking like Jack’s going to work his
Way back into this the third round’s key because you dropped the first two right got to win those last three the third rounds key like turn the tide now and start making it happen so we’ve got the a loaded pay-per-view Like We complain about the structure of cards all the
Time and like the what’s good and what’s bad but like this is a this is a tight pay-per-view so we had success with a Cheesy little fight night take it all day hopefully that translate into the bigger cards all right Main Event we’ve got Alexander the Great volkanovski
Taking on Ilia topura minus 120 for the champ Alexander volkanovski plus 100 for topera lots of Money’s been coming in on topera obviously like we’ve been super high on them I mean I bet him in his UFC debut at like a plus 150 Underdog against Yousef
Salal um and every single fight it seems like this guy’s getting better and like all the skills that you kind of saw in the regional scene are you know coming into form he’s got good grappling his striking is definitely on points super super dangerous guy a guy I respect a lot in this
Division I’m going with VA volkanovski in the main event here because I feel like this line is getting skewed by what happened with volkanovski taking the rematch against makev over in the Middle East on like 10 days notice fighting a man who’s much bigger than him obviously
Got knocked out got knocked out bad that could happen here toor is a bad man but um I feel like this this line maybe is just begging me maybe it’s a bit of a quote unquote trap but um I feel like volkanovski can probably secure takedowns and if he does
He can just hang out in guard stay out of trouble I mean he was on the M with Brian Ortega Brian Ortega almost almost got him out of there but like that’s some of the best Jiu-Jitsu in the featherweight Division and he was still able to get himself out of that
Situation he throws crazy volume the pace is super high um I I’m not trying to smear topura whatsoever but I like pick aods give me the champ to retain like I I think like if this if that makev fight which was a horrible spot short notice against makev didn’t
Happen for for volkanovski and he didn’t go into the presser afterwards and talk about how he’s having some like mental health issues and stuff like that I feel like this probably more like minus 175 plus 150 um so I’m going to take the champ to retain um under that type of uh
Premise there what about you yeah obviously we haven’t spoke preand but man I got much of the same opinions if that fight with makev hadn’t happened how good is this line for Alexander volkanovski right now because here’s a guy who’s known as the featherweight goat no one’s saying that Jose Aldo is
The better featherweight Champion than Alexander volkanovski very few people are saying Conor McGregor was that Conor McGregor was a dope fighter don’t get me wrong in his Heyday but he never defended titles right like he can’t be the greatest featherweight of all time volkanovski he’s the goat dude moves up
To 155 to to fight Islam makev the first time guy almost beats Islam makev the first time some people scored for him gives him hell in the fifth round he’s he’s like the number one guy in the pound-for-pound L even though he lost to Mev cuz he’s the lighter guy coming up
It’s like this guy is what the definition of pound-for-pound is the man and then you’re right he takes he takes the one fight short notice gets knocked down it’s like his stocks completely gone like MMA is a Savage Beast Man you spend all this time creating these accolades and having these career
Performances and beating all the best guys and you have like one blunder trying to be a company man trying to save a card on 10 days no notice taking one for the team still up a weight class against the new pound-for-pound King right now and it’s just like yeah
Yesterday’s news so I I don’t know man I think I I’m totally agree there’s Supreme value on them based on you know what you’re you know you’re getting a legendary fighter a first ballot Hall of Famer 45b weight class where he thrives at and he’s the best
For even money like it makes a whole lot of sense to me now toor you’re right we’re on this guy and in many ways he is the future he’s 27 years old Alexander volcanos is 35 so even if volkanovski beats him here right now yeah there’s
Going to be a time where Tori is eventually going to surpass him and eventually will be the champ and volcanos either goes to 55 or retires but you know time is on to puia side but in some similarities to him fight to the Joe Piper fight against Hermanson last
Weekend is that what happens with these young really Uber talented young prospects is they look good against not necessarily subar talent but not the best guys in the world and they get a couple good little wins and then all of a sudden it’s like that’s the man but
They haven’t proven it quite yet they haven’t really shown us those that that greedy performance that win over that that top as longine guy now Piper really had it toor at least he’s got some incredible victories but Paul again when you look at it it’s not even it’s not
Even the same ballpark as the competition of volkanovski’s fought his last three fights is the Jay Herbert fight right where he gets booted in the face almost gets knocked out in the first round by a journeyman in Jay Herbert the Bryce Mitchell fight where Bryce Mitchell has a stomach bug and
Bryce has proven that he’s not really a top 10 guy and then Josh EMT which a nice little win but again he just he had Josh emt’s number Josh EMT wasn’t able to take him down he was able to take him down grind him a little bit out strike him beat him
Up demoralize him that’s fair how would Josh EMT do versus Alexander vinoski I don’t think very good how would Bryce Mitchell do against Alexander volcanos I really don’t think any good how would ji Herbert do against Alexander volkanovski or how about Ryan Hall but wi prior to
That so yeah he looks good and yeah he’s 27 and yeah he’s got a BJJ black belt he’s built like a Georgian brick [ __ ] house uh very physically strong striking is definitely coming seems to have a good chin I mean Herbert almost knocked him out but still he took Herbert’s best
Shot if anything the kids got some Firepower yeah there’s things to like about toori it’s just I don’t know in this fight against Alexander volkanovski a if you can’t take volkanovski down which is entirely possible like now you got to strike the whole time fine Striker power Striker but if you’re not
Landing those big shots one after one or vinoski doesn’t you know use that work rate use those leg kicks use that inside use that pressure just keep coming forward and piling up on them now what I liked about toor’s fight versus emit is even though he knocked him down like
Three times had the guy dead to rights Dam near killed him it still went the distance and at least he showed in a five round fight that he could go the five rounds because as we as I compared him to pyer pyer hadn’t shown he could
Go five rounds so there was a question markor showed you could but in that fifth round he just took it right off he landed eight significant strikes in the fifth round 55 significant strikes landed in the fourth round and I’m not saying he was flat gas in the fifth but
He took it off his fight with you mentioned is UFC debut only fight that’s gone the distance other than that that EMT fight again he’s he’s tired the longer the fight goes you can make the argument UFC you can make the argument short notice I feel like there’s something that could be
Exploited there in a five round situation so if volkanovski can really get on the gas tank really pressure this guy make him counter wrestle make him you know fight off the defense put some of that volume on him put some of that pressure I think for even money you
Would have to favor the champ so I’m going to agree with your sentiments man am I expecting a close fight yeah am I expecting a war yeah but again I got to go with the devil I know then the devil I don’t and toor’s got some things he
Needs to prove still to this point whereas volkanovski I’m comfortable with where he’s at and when he brings to the table co- Main Event we’ve got Robert the the reaper Whitaker taking on Paulo Costa Whitaker is a minus 220 favorite Costa can be had for plus
185 who you got yeah so this one’s why MMA is MMA like Robert Whitaker I think is Leaps and Bounds better than Paulo Costa he’s way more he’s way quicker way more technical he’s got the veteran Savvy he’s got the experience he’s got the cardio he does everything right and
Paul Costa gets away with doing just a ton of things wrong but MMA is a cruel sport man these guys are fighting Punchy kicky hitting each other in the head and I am very much worried about Robert Whitaker’s durability because there is a history of him either getting knocked
Out or him getting beat up pretty bad and to to me that’s kind of at what point does it catch up to him right now there’s a history of it again he’s fight all the way back at 170 pounds against Steven Wonderboy Thompson back in the
Day the first round knockout then you go to his fights with Yol Romero the first time drag him out beat him up lots of damage sustain in that fight goes to the next fight with Yol Romero CU they decide to run it back y landed 111 significant strikes over five rounds two
Clean knockdowns has Whitaker done on his feet multiple times doesn’t quite put him away but sometimes not getting knocked down is worse than just getting knocked out just getting knocked out that you end it it’s over the continuous beating is what takes away you know time off your career the sustained beating is
What’s to the you know to the and uh he just he took a lot of damage in that fight he goes right from that fight to his fight with isra adna where again he gets knocked down twice and knocked in the second round so it’s three stries
Yeah the Thompson fight Wonder Bo that’s a long time ago but in that period of time three straight fights of just straight damage man and to me he hasn’t really recovered since he looked flat against Darren till Jared Ken he looked hesitant but looked okay um his NE his
Rematch with israa knocked down ended up Surviving the five rounds but did get knocked down and and then his last fight with draus d playes fights an okay first round second round he gets taken down which is very uncharacteristic for him and when he gets taken down he gets
Mauled on and gets knocked out again so the only thing going Paulo coster’s way is that the specimen dude how he passes all those drug tests I don’t know because the guy’s pretty jacked up he’s got some power you know he’s got some notoriety he’s willing to go there and
Bang with you and even though he could be behind on the scorecards R Whitaker could be chopping him up with that jab and make making them look foolish all it takes is that one counter right over the top all it takes is that one left hook sneak down like something could get
Through and make it really bad for Robert Whitaker the reason why I’m just going to bite the bullet and take Robert Whitaker is Paul Costa could knock out Luke rockold his last fight Paul that that to me is problematic in its own so if my whole narrative here on why I
Wouldn’t pick the more skillful guy in Robert Whitaker is the narrative that I think he could be a little shop wor and could be there to get knocked out it’s like l the G he’s like the most shop porn chinny guy of the division so Paulo bangs sure but Paulo’s wins right
Gareth mclen in the which is a rugby player from South Africa who got cut very quickly olali bang Bas was he was fond as hell to watch but he couldn’t win Johnny Hendricks big fat Johnny who got you know retired a short time afterwards because he sure is held in
Habit by that point yah Hall who was like one of one of the bigger you know busts in UFC recent UFC memory history I guess that was a terrible sentence memory history but uh you’re right hall you know I never really got past the top
15 Yol Romero who at that point was in his 40s and then he lost to Izzy and Marvin vitori and then beat Luke rockold who’s also near his 40s and Shop war and retired and done so like he’s more of a character than there’s actual proven results on paper the wins they’re not
There the losses to good guys but Marvin vtori is adisan those are guys in the same conversation as Robert Whitaker former Champion he fought vtori he beat him he fought is twice lost both times but went the distance with them once you know what I mean like I just think
There’s there’s there’s levels to it now Costa is an excellent character everybody loves him and because of the knockout threat people will put their money behind him for sure but again I just got to go with the better technique the cleaner guy uh to I think just win a
Decision I don’t see him knocking out Paul a Costa but again I think with his footwork in his jab stay to the outside you’re in a large cage it’s a pay-per-view there’s a Full Arena play smart but hit this guy and move and unlike the Yol Romero fight y see super
Explosive and quick right Paul’s a little more plotting so the state of the outside game plan could work but 15 minutes in the cage of Holocaust easier said than done so my best to Robert Whitaker but he will be my pick yeah like I originally when I kind of first
Looked at it thinking of like where Robert Whitaker is obviously drias absolutely beat him down um a pretty one-sided Affair um obviously drias was a pretty big Underdog coming into that my initial thought was like ah Whitaker is over the hill but I had money on the
Under one and a half rounds and I think I think on prize picks too we beat that market by like five minutes cuz like they lined it on prize picks at like 12 and a half minutes and I was just like pretty much a free Square cuz like the
One and a half ended up going off as like super chalk to the under in that fight against Luke rockold maybe one of the chinni guys in middleweight division history like after he had the belt everything just kind of fell off of a cliff and yeah like Costo you know when
He came into the UFC he was a wrecking ball I don’t know what really happened obviously he’s focusing a little bit more on the uh you know the building of his brand these days maybe than uh than being the best fighter he can possibly be but he hasn’t
I haven’t seen it all that much in the last 3 four years to be perfectly honest from him um I’ll be curious I mean the early totals on this already got steamed um over one and a half rounds opened atus 185 and it got moved down to
Minus 240 so it’s like I’ll be interested to see what like Whitaker by decision is um that may be how I attack this one but uh the fact that that total is getting steamed already leads me to believe it’s probably not going to be as generous so probably be plus 100
Anything yeah anything if I can get like a plus 150 sign me right up but I highly doubt that we actually get to that but yeah Whitaker is going to be the pick for me as well I think he just throws more volume is a little bit more
Tactical in his approach he has to avoid the bomb but it’s like I mean Bor threw those bombs at Luke rockold who was way more chin even the shopworn version of Robert Whitaker it’s like going into that fight Luke rockold was maybe the most shopworn guy like in the
Division like it was everyone was expecting Paulo KO Paulo ko1 and it’s like it turned into a real fight wasn’t able to get him out of there now MMA is a crazy crazy you know what so some you know it’s very very in playay that Paulo lands the perfect shot and knocks him
Out here but for my money it’s Robert Whitaker um use that jab fight smart uh mind your p’s and q’s and hopefully win a decision hopefully that prop is good enough that uh that I take a stab at that um we’re doing the show as well on
On a Sunday right so there’s an entire possibility this fight doesn’t happen because dating back to 20 dating back to 2018 he pulled out of a fight with Uriah Hall because he had a tour bicep then he pulled out of a fight with Robert Whitaker in 2021 because he got sick he
Pulled out of a fight with Jerry koner because he got sick he pulled out of his first or he fight out that uh ikram alisov I don’t blame him on that one and and then he’s supposed to fight kamza and he gets this elbow infection and you
Can see when he announced the elbow infection he wasn’t in shape he was never planning on taking the fight it’s just a really good way to boost your social media oh K out’s hot people are talking about him you want your face on the poster next to him you want to be in
The discussion you want to talk all this smack and at the last man be like sorry elbow infection I’m out but yeah that makes me wonder like Whitaker is the kind of guy that shows up and takes these fights in fact chay’s on record being like I wouldn’t really want to
Fight Robert Whitaker because you can recognize pure talent but time is the one that’s undefeated right so like Whitaker’s got all the talent in the world but what at what point does you know the durability just kind of evaporate but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt because draus is the
Current champ and pretty much everybody that’s beaten him is one of the best guys that it’s ever fought in the division but yeah it’ll be a nail biter I think for a little bit until Whitaker eventually pulls away all right we got Ian Mado Gary taking on Jeff Neil um
Gary is a minus 210 favorite Neil can be had for Plus 180 how far removed so yeah Gary was supposed to fight viente luk back in December and then he was kind of getting like social media bullied and it was a it was a very very strange strange pull out obviously he
Got sick in some way shape or form but they flip him back around to this and there’s all the drama Cody about how Ian G I’m sure you’ve seen the clip or whatever where he like printed those t-shirts with uh with Jeff Neil’s um mug shot on them and he was
Like joking about it yada y yada I believe I speak for everybody when I say we all want to see this guy get his head knocked off but Jeff Neil plus 180 a striker going up against a long technical Striker who’s shown that that’s the
Fights that he can win I just don’t know if Jeff Neil is the guy to do it pains me I probably won’t bet it and I will hate watch it hoping that Jeff Neil pulls this off because everyone likes Jeff Neil he made one mistake he you know whatever whatever happened
There and uh and then yeah Gary using that for like self-promotion is pretty Shameless but um yeah the pick’s going to be Gary I don’t I I I want him to lose though so I I know you’re not supposed to let your emotions get in the way of money but
It’s like I would feel dirty having a Gary in one of my tickets who do you like here buddy yeah you know the last time that we were talked about a Gary fight it was supposed to be against Vincente luk and uh I was all for taking Vincente Luke a
Plus money the difference there being is that Vincente luk for the first time in his career was coming off the fight with rafield do SOS where he just wrestled the entire time like he had scored multiple takedowns over RDA who’s a badass badass former lightweight champion up aweight class year but a
Legitimate Grappler so to me it was like o Vin can strike with Gary has trained with Gary knows Gary’s patterns and and and what he’s you know is a little more familiar with that style because he’s been in the training room with them his coaches his training Partners the whole
Team they know Gary and they exploit this guy’s ground game take him down looking at Gary he’s given up a bunch of cheesy little takedowns throughout the course of his career and one us to one you know that would definitely be a path of Victory if you’re getting taken down
By uh Daren weeks Gabe green twice by S Canan problematic but now you’re you’re flipping it you’re going to a guy that’s virtually one-dimensional in Jeff Neil not only is he one-dimensional that he’s a striker he’s not going to lean on that wrestling not going to lean on that
Jiujitsu a whole lot is that he’s primarily just a boxer he’s looking to put his hands on you the kicks yeah they’re there this guy booted Mike a Perry in the head once upon a time but for the most part I just feel like he’s just looking two inch closer get inside
That pocket un unleash those hands on you if this fight was in the Apex may be a little bit easier just because it’s a smaller cage less room to have to travel maybe I can cut this guy off a little bit and then make him walk into one of
My big murderous hooks but in the large cage these guys that are just quicker and Jeff Neil is a talented fighter but his gift is his power it’s not his speed these quicker guys they stay to the outside and they chew him up they use range they use a jab they use little
Pitter patter leg kicks they stay mobile and as long as you move laterally you can just move around Jeff Neil when he thought step Wonderboy Thompson was an excellent example Wonder Wonderboy Thompson one of the best guys with distance management and Jeff Neil just he got really frustrated he got
Frustrated from chasing swinging at air that even though it was a five round fight and it was only the end of the fourth walking back to his corner he was just like yeah I’m done congratulated Wonderboy after the fourth like yeah you won this fight like quitting on himself
And that’s that frustration because he’s not a brawler but he wants to fight the Mike Perry types he wants to fight the vinent C luk types he wants to fight somebody that’s going to stand in front of him and throw down but if you’re smart Technical and you use that speed
Advantage from the outside shakka rachmanov they’ll they’ll essentially double him up on the punch count and he’ll land 60 or 70 big shots but they’ll land 110 120 they’ll just be more active they’ll land a little cleaner and eventually the judges will give it to them and so as much as I
Don’t like Ian Gary either right the mugshot thing whatever bringing up uh Neil mag’s kids like that was that was a little weird but just the whole like Persona of like he shows up to the gym with the camera teams and the social media teams and you know he talks a big
Game and he got kicked out of SBG Ireland he comes over to Florida gets kicked out of a couple gyms in Florida constantly moving gyms constantly showing up with the social media hype being able to wear the T-shirt saying and look at this yeah Jeff Neil DUI had
A handgun in the car for the record you know talk [ __ ] and then Sean Strickland or somebody talks a little [ __ ] to him online MMA Guru talks a little [ __ ] to him online and he just melts into the victim position like I I hope so bad
This guy gets blasted in the face and gets knocked out but from a betting standpoint I think he wins more often than none on volume so could he clip Neil and put him away yeah but I think probably a decision stay to the outside pitter patter stay smart keep in mind he
Got dropped by son Cana he get dropped by Jeff Neil but get up recover use that speed move your feet and just out Point him it’s not pretty and nobody likes the guy but N I think he probably does win this fight in the end so I will take he
And Gary yeah and Gary will do that and then he’ll get on the microphone and pretend that he just PO he just did the the biggest Masterpiece and that we should all be in awe of the performance like yeah he’ll just hang out at range
And like jab jab jab jab yeah those long range like what which fight was it that like after it it was like it was a pretty bad performance and he got on the mic and it was like it was it was like he yeah he he paint painted the Mona
Lisa like he was just like oh this is like the most brilliant performance ever like it was crazy everyone hates this guy like it’s it’s working for him I suppose in a way like it’s definitely making people talk about him it’s it’s not necessarily good I don’t know if he selling more merch
Because of it but it is what it is yeah it’s a tough position because he comes from the School of Conor McGregor where it’s like you grow up young kid you idolize McGregor he’s your Countryman and he’s a slick tongue Irishman and that gets him to where he needs to go
But the difference is is like you can’t take away from Connor what he did accomplish like they weren’t giv him easy fights he’s fighting Dustin porier Diego brandow Dennis Siver like these guys were all actually good and he’s fighting them in his first few fights to
Knock out Aldo in less than 10 seconds to absolutely smoke Eddie Alvarez in that type of fashion in a masterpiece performance he was very good Gary is fighting the Darion we weeks of the worlds the Gabe greens of the world yeah he’s starting to fight a better level of
Competition but you know is is he is he is he the next coming like I really don’t think so but yeah that this is what’s going to get you those bigger fights it’s eventually you talk yourself into a situation you can’t back out of where they’re going to be like okay
We’ll fight the next Avail available best guy and then you might run into problems but yeah I don’t know I don’t know for as many problems as he does have clearly there’s some skill there clearly some of it’s just Persona then I yeah you said it best
Earlier it was like you know you can’t let H like a hatred for a guy get into a get you know blind you from a decent betting spot I don’t know how great of a betting spot this is but if I was forced to bet the side I feel like Ian Gary
Does get the job done yeah same here all right moving on down we’ve got morab deales fi taking on Henry cejudo minus 180 for morab Plus 155 for cejudo interesting on prize picks promo code um they’ve got Mor Rob’s takedowns listed at four which I know morab goes out there
He takes down everyone and he’s like he’s not very good at holding people down so it’s like he could get four in the first round he’s taking on Henry cejudo I don’t have all the answers but like he would have to get what you’d have to get five for you to lose that
Four would be a push that one’s just seemed look it’s only a three round fight it seemed a little bit jarring uh I know Alaine did manage to take down Henry uh four times in a five round fight last time out I don’t know it just all seems kind of
Interesting um do you have a hot take on this one Cody it’s uh I love morab I think he’s good but I initial thoughts is I have interest in the underdog Henry cejudo um just because I think he obviously being a Olympic champion in wrestling can maybe
Thwart uh Mor’s best path to Victory which is nonstop attacking takedowns like the guy just spams takedowns and just forces you to defend the entirety of the fight um cejudo seems like the kind of guy that maybe could put a wrench in those plants yeah yeah I mean stylistically
You 100% na is that moraj V doesn’t rely too much on the wrestling but that’s clearly the staple of his game is being able to take guys down 10 11 times and just Mash on them that’s what makes him highly effective so yeah now he’s taking
On Olympic gold medalist one of the best wrestlers of the division like doesn’t it doesn’t it kind of make sense that that wrestling would be taken off the table Alain Sterling got the takedowns there’s a teammate of Moran devash there’s that’s fair so maybe he racks up
Quick takedowns like the fight hits the ground they credit you with the Tak down but then I just don’t see him holding him down like I think cejudo pops back up and then it’s just really a scramble and then who knows if they credit you with the taked down at all but super
Interesting fight the other thing is hudo is a natural 125 pounder right he’s a world champion world champion two- weight classes but but him and his best is 125 he’s a flyweight Beast Demetrius Johnson even though I thought Johnson won that fight beat some good guys moves
Up to 135 at 135 he’s getting these quick Knockouts TJ Dillashaw Maron mariash Dominick Cruz guys that you could all say were at the tail ends of their careers respectively respectively but I he’s getting those quick Knockouts I’d like to see someone drag him out in that prolonged you know five round fight
The fight with Alaine what’s interesting here is that cejudo the flyweight fighting up at 135 taking on Alaine Sterling more than a natural 35 flirting with the idea of going to 145 because he’s in fact a large 35 but Mor Rob’s not a big 35 like I met him over in
Nashville when he came to Corner one of his Fighters at a Aries fight series show nationville underground he he’s a flyweight I bet you he could make 125 but when Alain first got the title and he was very um very vocal about he wouldn’t fight Alain
He even expressed the idea of going to 125 so I don’t think he’s that much bigger than Henry cejudo to be honest with you and I don’t think the wrestling would be all that effective to me it’s that both guys are great with the wrestling and then they decided hey if
You want to be a fantastic martial artist mix martial artist you need to blend the other skills so they got working on the Striking Henry’s got decent boxing Henry’s got some okay output he is an okay Striker and of course he’s got some power moral bash
Meanwhile he’s just like more of a wild man a little more Reckless forward pressure crash the pocket can take one hell of a punch Jose Aldo had this guy absolutely rocked on Wheels and you see his ability to recover you see his ability to come back you see you see his
Ability to just swarm you with volume and that Aldo fight I thought was a perfect example he never scored one single takedown over Jose Aldo he just out struck he out struck him he put him in the spots that he wanted to and he did a good job he rebounds from that
From being Peter Yan Landing 147 significant strikes and 11 takedowns and the thing with Yan is that Yan never lost clean you cannot point to one fight in Peter Jan’s career where the loss wasn’t controversial he either got robbed on the scorecards or he got disqualified from an ilal move nobody
Beats the guy clean uh you know Shan Ali flat robbery as well like just Peter Jan’s the man rob kicked his ass Paul it was a completely non-competitive fight you see the levels where this guy’s at so that that to me is it no go ahead the
Story of the ywn fight was that he shot 49 takedown attempts in five rounds like Yan was never able to really get off because he was literally just defending takedowns from the opening bell it’s like he’s kind of weaponized cardio in a sense and I feel like if this was a five
Round fight that strategy would help him a little bit more um I guess we could do it for for three rounds against cejudo as well and then against Aldo he was 0 for 16 on the takedowns um but yeah I feel like he wins those striking exchanges against these guys who are
Technically better Strikers because the entire time they’re just going like oh my God I can’t let this guy take me down oh my God this wild man is in my face trying to take me down constantly like he’s weaponized you like you defending takedowns becomes him winning it’s kind
Of brilliant like we’ve never really seen anybody do it at this type of rate um sorry your official pick was morab yeah man because that ability to just keep going the non-stop pressure in the action so I I think that that eventually grinds away as audo and uh
Gives him a points Victory all right so we have a little bit of uh you know disagreement in that fight there cejudo for me Deval V for you moving on down we’ve got Anthony fluffy Hernandez taking on Roman kopov Hernandez a minus 170 favorite kopov can be had for plus 145 these guys
Are very very much different but like their trajectory in the UFC is very very much the same you know um you know we’ve got kopov rolls into the UFC loses by rear naked choke to Carl Roberson and you’re just like whoa that’s a bad look that’s a bad look
Loses to duv gets taken down once but like kind of loses in the Striking exchanges and since then he is on a war path is like the stuff that you saw in the regional scene um it’s it’s kind of all coming together for him um the Striking is very
Technical slick powerful and it seems like he has pretty good takedown defense fairness he has not really taken on anybody who has a solid uh grappling game fluffy on the other hand rolls into the UFC gets absolutely trucked by Jordan Wright uh in uh yeah in 40 seconds takes on Marcus
Perez loses by anaconda choke to him um ends up getting an Arman Guillotine choke on Rulo freaking Vieira all over the place but it’s like fight by fight we’re seeing you know his wrestling his pressure his his entire game is starting to get better both of these guys meeting
At this point in time this is like an unsung fight on the card but it’s super super interesting um I want to hear what you have to say before I make my official pick to be perfectly honest I mean a lot of this fight comes down to like is Fluffy going
To find those takedowns early maybe it’s a better fight uh a better bet to make in the live markets I don’t really necessarily have the answer to that preflop obviously we’re recording this show a little bit early so I’m a little bit back in my research and stuff like that
Um but yeah like pre flop I don’t know I guess I would lean towards a dog shot on kopov but but yeah it really comes down it’s like is Fluffy going to be able to get those takedowns early and often and I wouldn’t be surprised if he
Does yeah I for my money’s worth I would say yeah like fluffy Hernandez is my boy I compare him a lot to Jacob Malon is that he floats under the radar in like popularity but he fights the kind of fights that I as better love to put my
Money behind it’s like just wrestle the whole time chain wrestle don’t get tired and just go go go go go don’t stand that range don’t play Punchy kicky don’t put yourself in bad positions chain wrestle and have extremely good cardio that’s how kabib fights that’s how George fought that’s how the best
Guys fight John Jones you want to win that’s how you win and you win clean right so for the fluffy Hernandez the Jacob malons of the world because they’re able to get like we talked about with Mor deaj V they can get 910 take tiit seven eight nine 10
Takedowns in a fight it’s going to put them at a huge Advantage when I look at fluffy Hernandez as you mentioned he goes through you know a bit of a you know bad period that he knocked out Jordan right for the record but he was
Weed yeah it was a no contest because he was high and yeah and then they gave him some weird matchups he L to Marcus Perez he L to Kevin Holland not great it’s since then he’s all about the wrestling right he chokes out rodo Vieira and that
That was a fight that he got Rodolfo very tired from the grappling Exchange Rulo gases then he chokes him out then he gets Josh FM right he scored eight takedowns on Josh FM a guy that actually did wrestle a little bit in college Slippery Rock University yeah you took him down eight
Times right and just completely swarms him the Mark Andre bario Bario’s been down on Florida he’s a big body he’s not the easiest guy to just throw down but he gets another eight takedowns and it’s the third round submission okay this guy’s not going anywhere he’s actively
Looking for your neck at all times if you get back up sh he gonna take you back down and for a guy that fights at that kind of pace it’s so exhausting it’s so taxing he see to keep it up which I like third coming off a decision win where he
Swarms a guy bario he chokes out in the third Edmond shabazian dude it’s the exact same thing six takedowns four submission attempts finally TKO owes him in the third round he does not stop he just keeps coming and he’s taking down some decent guys and not once or twice
Six or eight times when you look at Roman cop what I like about kopov comes from Russia um was a was a decent Champion over in Russia probably signing with the UFC and as you mentioned he had those trials and tribulations himself I think he realized that you know
Wrestling could be an issue his fight with Albert D D only went one for nine on takedowns right so that’s a decent feather in your cap if your copyof but he did have five and a half minutes of top control so like once you do get copyof down because he’s long he’s a
Long Striker with these long limbs he’s not banging explosive back up to his feet takes him a lot of time to clear the legs feel like if Hernandez does take him down he will ACR top control right papov then goes to dagistan trains with just a murderous team of wrestlers
And his takedown defense apparently is way better in recent fights it has looked way better those fights liso G Cho can’t wrestle who H stano apparently can but can he Paul when have you seen this guy do do anything with his offensive wrestling Claudio robero very one-dimensional Striker Josh frm as I
Mentioned did wrestle a little bit in college but not the greatest wrestler going I wouldn’t say him running into Hernandez Is that real stiff test where it’s like this guy’s not gonna shoot a few he’s going to shoot 10 or 15 he gets them in all of his prior fights and if
He gets you to the ground he’s a very good Grappler probably going to staple you to the ground and make you work so that toppled with the fact that kopilov seems to gas in his fights I I would I would think and and if you’re just
Looking at on paper it’s like oh four- fight winning streak but even that claudo robero fight at the end of the first round he almost gets knocked out he looks flat gas and he wins at the start of the second but there’s moments that you can exploit this guy and he’s a
Natural Striker so if you strike with him that’s where he’s comfortable if you make him wrestle and you lean on him and you grind on him he will get tired from holding your weight he will gas once he gases game plan goes out the window so I
Like again Hernandez is heading in the right direction he’s a guy that’s going to break into the top 10 you look how good Rolph Vier looked uh this past weekend you know fluffy Hernandez is a guy that didn’t it was a fluke the first time but now I firmly believe that he
Probably beats Rolo the second time if they’re to meet again so I fade R look like an idiot but yeah for me the pck is Fluffy Hernandez all right we got Amanda lash taking on McKenzie D lash is a minus 125 favorite D can be had for plus 105 who you
Got yeah so Amanda Lan is another one of these Fighters that does pick up victories just not high honor not high honor never been high honor um been around the UFC for a long time she made her debut in 2017 against Leslie Smith up a away class and looked looked horor
Got TKO in the second round she’s a little bit older I think she’s 35 years old now and then the wins Miranda Granger no longer with the UFC Mand um sorry Amando Suzuki out livan Souza she was a good invictor Champion oh my God was she bad in the UFC Monstra Ruiz the
The one move girl Angela Hill Angela Hill is finally a top five Contender a journeyman sort of types but someone that’s been around the block not one of these easy Miranda Granger or you know Mizuki inway type fights an actual legitimate fighter and in that fight man
She struggled like she ends up winning a split decision I can see her losing it it was close by the Numbers she did score a knockdown on on Angela Hill in the second round but Hill had the better cardio he’ll put a pace on her and Leo’s
Gassed out right so she’s offensively a threat to lower level type of Fighters but when she moves into that top five top 10 Echelon those big moves don’t work anymore she’s going to fatigue and you can get her into some positions that you’d like her F her fight with Michelle
Waterson she gets her with the G team but she did get taken down that one time and then against Marina moral Ruez you know clean knockout can’t take that away from her and then Zang W the six takedowns mser it is a five round fight
Zang W is one of the best going it’s a title fight like it’s it’s the highest level but she landed 24 significant strikes over the course of 25 minutes and got taken down six times you’re not going to falter for that but again here’s somebody that’s 35 her biggest
Win I guess would be Marina Rodriguez in a fight that was fairly low output as well she has been taken down a few times in the past her taked down defense overall in the UFC is only 55% there’s not a whole lot to love there the output is non-existent her highest performance
Was the Angela Hill fight 50 the other fights are 24 29 20 29 sorry 83 against inway which was a punching bag of a fight that would be your career hke it’s far too low now Mackenzie dur meanwhile for as many faults as she has and you could fault
Her across the map of course but to me her just coming back from that Jessica Andra fight is a massive show of character she got killed she got killed she basically quit Corner quit she got knocked down four times TKO in the second very bad look shows you where
You’re at in the sport and I think for a pretty girl with a Brazilian jiu-jitsu background that could have easily gone back to that already has money even though she’s paying for a divorce all the time apparently I think that she could have just gone back to a regular life but
Instead it’s like I want to jump back on the horse and I want to do the damn thing so McKenzie DS got heart and she’s someone that does have that Ace Jiu-Jitsu but she’s working on the other skills she’s working on the wrestling even though it’s still not that good
She’s working on the Striking even though it’s still not that good but to her credit when it’s not working it’s not working against Jess Andra it’s not working against Yan Janan it’s not working against some of the better girls in the division there’s progress being made the Jiu-Jitsu Edge over over um
Amanda Lemos is certainly on the table the wrestling Edge D’s not a good wrestler but Lemos rocking that 55% takedown defense Lemos being taken down by not great wrestlers in the past allows McKenzie during a hope that maybe she could complete one if she doesn’t complete one she maybe could pull guard
The way she did against Tisha Torres and then just go right on the offense right away there’s a path of Victory with that grappling if the fight doesn’t hit the ground D’s usually screw but that’s against girls like Andra against Lemos Lemos is super low volume she’s only
Throwing Landing 30 40 50 significant strikes over the course of three rounds so dur a girl that landed 126 against Angela Hill doubled her up patha Victory lies in that she could just out volumer she’s got some decent pop she dropped Hill she dropped a man
To Bobby Cooper she does have some Sting in that right hand she’s got good cardio especially for a three- round fight she’s got a grappling Edge she’s younger it’s even money I got D yeah um yeah on top of that like I yeah D was somebody that we were like
Pretty out on for a long time but she’s really kind of turned to Corn I know the the Andra fight was pretty ugly wasn’t able to get takedowns like the stats look relatively close but like nothing was close about like what strikes were getting exchanged there she was eating
Absolute bombs and and throwing out volume but like it was pretty clear um without a takedown she was in big trouble there in fairness to her Jessica andrad had a standing arm triangle and got the Finish against this very opponent in Amanda lash so um yeah I’m with you like I mean lash
Could get a knockout is definitely in play but I’m going to lean more on the fact that like dur has show an insane durability over the course of her career than just her last fight um before that it’s just like she just took bombs from literally everybody and then yeah jangu
Lee really really obviously the champ but really really exploited um the ability to get the takedowns there D has the level of Jiu-Jitsu it’s like she doesn’t need many takedowns like all she really needs is like one and she could close the show in this spot so I I like
D as well but yeah I I don’t even think I’m going to chase a prop on this one cuz um I see both pass to Victory I mean the most surprising would probably be D by knocka but we’ve seen that before even too so either yeah D money line D
Decision is obviously in play but yeah no props for me just the money line McKenzie D we got Marcos rerio Del Lima taking on Justin taffa rerio minus 140 favorite taffa can be had for plus 120 uh lowlevel heavyweights Marcus rerio Del Lima kind of a a good Hammer not a great
Nail um typically the real key for him is obviously Landing leg kicks early staying out of range he’s a pretty big even though he fought at 205 pounds like I’m not expecting him to give up any size against Justin tavl whatsoever he’s he’s filled out that
265lb frame um but the key for him I think will’ll probably be getting takedowns particularly early in the fight um while tafa is most dangerous I have no intention of betting at least at you know on Sunday six days in in advance of this card but the pick
For me right now will be Marcos rogerio Del Lima what about you the bookie wins on this one because they must have gotten together with the UFC matchmaking team and they were like hey let’s catch Cody in a real tight spot here where we put pit the number
One and number two least favorite heavyweights of his in a fight against each other everybody that knows me knows my hatred for Marcos reri de Lima there’s no world that exists on betting him over anybody and for the record he does win and it generally lose money
When he does withn I’m not betting on him he is awful he’s been awful for the entirety of his career yeah he’s won fights outside of Waldo Cortez a Costa mostly it’s awful guys but Paul just I can’t get behind him not only is a 38-year old ballooned up light
Heavyweight he has no cardio he’s got BJJ BL Bel and then he gets smother choked it was a forearm choke he gave up to Romanov he a fake BJJ black Bel D can bang on the feet for all of three minutes before he gasses I don’t like
Him I don’t like him I never liked him I’m sure he’s a really nice guy in real life I just mean in terms of consistency and skill set putting my money behind him it’s never going to happen it’s not so yeah I fade him at every turn of the
We got Derrick Lewis last time it was plus money again this bum how does that happen I don’t know I’m happy to bet that all day long because I’ll bet anybody at plus money against Marcus rer Del Lima but now we get TAA and so that one’s unique because tofa is terrible
And I tried to fade him last time out as well against Austin Lane didn’t work out the first time they thought was a no contest I thought Lane looked a lot quicker and this and that and blah blah blah second time around tofa just stood
His ground and he hits hard so he’s one of these traditional samoing guys Your Mark hunt types that he’s heavy set he hits hard his brother Jr you know is a kickboxing standout they have that pedigree he can no doubt bang holding him up against the cage is an effective
Strategy taking him down is an effective strategy and Marcos reri Del Lima will do exactly that here in line is the problem why not for the first time ever take Marcos reri de Lima because you know he has the groundling advantage you know he has even though he’s a fake
Black belt and he is you know he’s still got a an advantage on the ground over Justin tofa who is a nothing belt yeah why not take him why not take him I’ll tell you why because even though he may take him down even though
He may lean on him and he may grind on him and he may win around maybe round and a half maybe even two rounds at some point especially if I bet him he’s GNA gas he’s GNA gas when he gases he won’t be able to get the taked down once he
Can’t get the taked down he’ll be forced to exchange with TAA and once he exchanges with TAA he go hit the deck so I seen it happen in the Stephan strew fight same thing dominates the first round drops him spends the entire first round on top but doesn’t do anything
With it and then the second round he’s huffing and puffing curled over and gives up an easy win so like I I’ve seen him do this multiple times he’s not somebody that’s going to correct his mistakes simply because he’s he is who he is he’s a 38-year old light
Heavyweight competing up 65 pounds Paul’s not wrong while he’s filled out that frame maybe so but it wasn’t like he was has this giant frame he’s what 61 61 262 pounds like he’s out of shape he not ripped up he’s a little bit older he’s super slow he’s super plotting but
Yeah he’s built like a Brazilian fire hydrant and if he hits you in the first three minutes it’s going to be a problem he is not a great wrestler and he’s not a great Grappler but in comparison to TAA sure yeah no he he has the
Advantage but I can’t do it dude I think tofa Just Tires him out and punches him out at some point it’s not going to be pretty it’s not going to look good for us early but if he’s got a pre teas Giles him at some point in late second
Or third he going to do it so I I will I will take we got a under dog on McKenzie Daren was the first dog pick of the card I’m going to go follow it up with the second dog pick and take tofa I I I mean I’m not going to like
Fight you on that one all that much I’m actually quickly just going through all right Harry hunsucker attempted one takedown on Justin tafa Harry freaking hun sucker former you know worst fighter in the heavyweight can’t spell Suck Without huncker You can’t spell suck without H or hunt suck without suck that
Is 100% accurate um I think that’s the only so he has 100% takedown defense but that’s because the only person to actually attempt a taked down against Gom is Harry hunsucker oh no sorry Carlos Felipe tried once as well um so like it’s it’s a real wild
Card kind of fight right like Marcos Marcos Rosario delimma is grappling could be just so much better um but you’re really you’re really not going to know you’re really not going to know that until they’re in there fighting you know what I mean yeah the other thing is as I
Mentioned roer De Lima 61 265 but TAA 6 foot 265 so like yeah I’m sure you can take him down but he’s built like Mark hunt with these giant tree trunk legs and even though Mark H was a kickboxer That Couldn’t wrestle and got destroyed on the ground at every chance he could
He eventually learned enough takedown defense where he was like oh he’s a rock he’s a rock of a man that throws an up upper cut up the middle try to take him down try to take him down not that easy taking down these big big boys not that
Easy so yeah bite the bullet and do it I was on Derek Lewis last time out at like plus 200 that line was freaking nuts I couldn’t understand you know a few of like the paid touts or whatever they put out Marcus Roser Del limo when he was
Like minus 150 and that market got so steamed that like late in the week you’re just like this is dumb like this is heavyweight and we’re we have a former light heavyweight taking on the black beast and boy oh boy yeah thoughts and prayers to your clv cuz bye-bye it’s dead um
Moving on down we’ve got Rena Nakamura taking on Carlos Vera Rena Nakamura minus 900 favorite Vera could be had for plus 600 these are like the one of those things you know back in in the day Cody we got we got khabib when he was like
Coming into the UFC we got him at like minus 150-200 we got you know playable lines on these prospects like that’s I feel like the biggest difference is like you get a guy like Ren Nakamura who’s got all of the wrestling ACC accolades seems to have like power in his strikes half
Decent grappling wasn’t able to get uh uh what’s his face the guy who fought last or guy who fought last night wasn’t able to sub him which hurt me Fernie Garcia wasn’t able to sub him but like had him in some tough spots the kid looks like the goods Carlos Vera on the
Other hand he’s pretty old I feel like uh coming into this opportunity must be like a situation where like they’re like you know you’re probably not going to get into the UFC any other way I don’t know how we got here but they’re throwing him right to the Wolves against
Rena I mean Rena is the pick uh um at minus 900 you probably have to find a prop and uh no props are out right now so not entirely sure what to do with this fight Ren is the pick but is there value on a minus
900 it’s hard to argue hard to argue that there’s really anything any sort of meat on the bone there from a you know a value boy uh perspective but yeah the kid looks like the absolute Goods this seems like probably even easier fight at least on paper than than his previous
Ones um and yeah the best best thing to come out of uh uh the road to the UFC in my opinion yeah like you said he’s got all the accolades he’s one of these guys that already has a solid foundation and then is now coming to MMA they’re moving
Him up the right way and it looks like he’s going to be a Potential Threat down the road and a contender for years to come so we all like what we see out of him Carlos Vera meanwhile this is more just like a dream come true so he’s 36
Years old and this is his UFC debut he’s beaten a couple decent Regional show guys he’s also lost when he steps up on the regional show against guys like you know Levi moles or you know fiser back in the day those guys will beat him he’s
Probably not going to get to the level that he’s you know wanted to like I said it’s a dream thing so what does he do signs up for the ultimate fighter and jumps on the ultimate fighter has one fight in the house against Brad Katona was the eventual Champion but always has
Mixed results in the UFC for whatever reason and he lost to Brad Katona so they just opt not to sign him I mean he lost the first fight he’s 35 years old at the time that he was on The Ultimate Fighter and it’s just like back to the regional
Show so he booked a fight for cffc on the regional show on the regional scene and then they needed someone for Daniel Marcos super last minute he jumped up and Marcos pulled out of the fight with Visa issues so because the UFC had signed him because he had jumped up and
Because he had pulled out of the cffc fight to take the UFC fight that never happened it’s like he’s under contct contract now you owe him a fight so this is the fight and they’re not giving him any favors it’s not like hey you know yeah thanks for that one time here let’s
Give you a guy that’s doesn’t got a promising future is a little bit older or is coming off some losses it’s like here’s a standout wrestler with just phenomenal physical strength excellent grappling very tenacious solid cardio racking up wins in the UFC yeah it’s going to be a problem now
As you mentioned minus 900 what can we do with that not much right money line not going to be great I can’t put him on my top ticket just because it’s not going to add anything to the second play so he’s got to be a second ticket kind of
Guy I got a gut feeling the submission play is on the table because when you look at Carlos Vera he’s been submitted before he struggles with Grapplers he does another greatest takedown defense he gets put in bad spots I got a feeling that Nakamura takes him down uh pounds
On him a little bit takes the back specifically and then locks in that choke now some people might be saying ah couldn’t choke go Fernie Garcia let me tell you something about f Garcia that fight against hater Emil last night but we’ll call it last another tough spot in
That fight yeah and he moved up a weight class from 135 to 145 on like 4 days notice got absolutely concussed half a dozen times and then this Beast of a man a who’s jacked and looks like a 55 in there has got his neck and his crez in
It gets out there’s no quit in him and for the record we always talk about Mexicans can’t get knocked out he didn’t get knocked out the ref saved him because he wouldn’t go down the guy’s a badass man Nakamura is going to get in that same spot grab a hold of Vera’s
Neck and squeeze it and uh he’s going to do the tap so look for him to get taken down look for him specifically to give up his back because that’s generally what he does when he scrambles to get back up to his feet and I think Ren who’s only getting better and better
Only getting more confident and has a vice grip on him is going to grab him so uh I think I would Chase it with that Nakamura submission prop if I wanted to Juice It Up in my favor yeah I mean I’m ready to hurt again because I was on I
Had like because I think it like last time it was like it’s like a straight pick them or like even minus it was like minus 150 for like him by knockout and then him by decision was like plus plus 500 and then like him by submission was like plus
500 and uh so that was the Avenue I went and he had multiple opportunities now you see Fernie Fernie yeah Fernie just literally will not quit yeah he was so close to getting submitted against Haider aill uh last night and uh yeah just like it was in deep it was in deep
Somehow somehow he popped his head out so he’s just probably very very hard to submit is what it is don’t hate it Cody I mean we don’t even have a number so what value is in that but I imagine if they line it like they did last time the
Sub will be definitely longer than uh Than The Knockout prop I will tell you that much all right we got M minyang Jang taking on Brenson robero minus 145 for Jang uh robero can be had for plus 125 who got yeah this just looks like your classic under one and a half these
Guys are big boys and they are going to bang it out so 205s large man when you look at Bron robero he’s a offensive Dynamo but he’s also pretty glassy himself his last three wins are all first round knockout Bruno Lopez first round knockout uh on the contender
Series Joe Pao for gundz first round TKO due to ground pound gilmar Dutra Lima first round 52 seconds due to ground and pound and then his losses Paul David B cian and Marcio breno are all first round Knockouts as well so he’s three and two over his last five all five
Fights have been first round Knockouts he cracks you it’s gonna be a problem you crack him it’s also going to be a problem now he was supposed to fight Zang in December of last year I’m not sure what happened but they had some complications fight just got rebooked so
Both guys should be in shape both guys should have extended camp both guys are still fairly young and when I look at Zang zang’s fought just a crusty level of competition and it’s all the same thing his last 1 2 3 4 five 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 his last 13 fights have ended in the first round right he’s lost some of those in the first round and he’s won a bunch of them in the first round that ascar maerov guy right remember him came comes over uh just the biggest lied about his record had taken off
Losses um the UFC Cuts him immediately after just an abysmal performance that guy beat him in the first round beat him Zang in the first round of course Zang would have been like I don’t know 20 years old at the time so like it’s hard to fault them that much but they’re both
Guys mere IM mere image each other is that they they can both throw they both can’t exactly take it they’re not very defensively sound in zang’s case when he fought George tokos I had George tokos cuz I’m an idiot and uh Zang was a plus 450 Underdog to toos that would have been
Considered his first real step up a guy that had some decent wins had some credentials and he cracked him and that’s the problem with these guys that don’t have much skill is that anybody can throw a punch and if you have God god- gifted power you hit a guy it’s not
Going to be good and when the guy stands right in front of you and doesn’t move his head he’s giving you an opportunity both of these guys finish in the first round they are both made of glass but they can both crack to a certain degree so it screams dogger pass to the
Highest level but but I don’t even want to take the dog I just feel taking robero because I think seem to like him a little bit more but I don’t know man yeah I I got to go with rerel plus 125 Underdog someone’s getting cracked I take the under on this
Thing the fight doesn’t go the distance if you take one guy specifically take him by knockout don’t go for that decision promp the difference to me is that Zang wants to kickbox Zang seems to be able to just catch you clean robero seems to be able
To catch you clean but he does really well on the ground like he gets guys down gets on top of them and then just swarms them with the ground and pound I think zang’s got an underdeveloped ground game if you want to have a kickboxer versus kickboxer maybe he’ll
Crack you if you have a kickboxer versus guy on top of you raining down punches you’re gonna favor that guy and so if you want to go Brazilian BJJ versus Chinese cjj yeah BJJ is going to win out right right so so give me robero who Maybe either fight a smart Fighter’s
Land first but it’s totally dogger pass yeah I have to take the plus 125 and the dog so yeah that’s yeah 100% the uh I remember uh Brenson rero on the contender series and that was he is a terrifying individual like he was waiting for like Dana outside of like
The room where Dana and just like Dana you could tell Dana was like startled walking it like he is a brick of a human being obviously he’s got a lot of first round finishes where you really sold me though is that getting knocked out by uh
By mov or whatever his name was the guy with like the fraudulent record that Oscar mov that is like the biggest red flag of all red flags In fairness to him that was back in 2018 I suppose but who is he taking on outside of the toos guy
Who I I mean I have no idea who he is but you say he’s all right otherwise otherwise all of those other toos all yeah all of those other first round finishes are against basically absolutely nobody so I’ll go with the devil I know in the fact that like
Brenson robero for 15 or he was 14 and five going into Contender series like I watched him and I’m like that’s a dangerous man he’s gonna have some fun fights I don’t know if he’s gonna like do anything like you know in terms of
Like becoming a top 10 top 15 like I I don’t see that but we’re going to we’re going to have some fun watch watchingg them and yeah these are the exact type of fights where you take it’s a dogger pass type of situation 100% there are no
Props out for the total on that but I will keep an eye out for uh the under one I mean they’ll probably line it at they’ll have to line it at one and a half rounds yeah it’ll probably be like a yeah minus 250 to the under one and a
Half rounds like they’re going to juice that 100% and it’ll probably get steamed the moment it releases is what it is that’s the uh that’s the industry that we live in these days uh we got Danny Barlo taking on Josh quinland Barlo a minus 190 favorite quinland can be had
For plus 165 Barlo another guy who was on Contender Series this past season looks like he’s got the skills like he’s pretty like very very fast slick striking quinland on the other hand I believe he came from Contender series as well he was the one who won by knockout and
Then uh he pissed hot and then he showed up and it’s amazing he wasn’t on the gear Cody didn’t seem to to to be the same guy I don’t know um yeah what was that fight uh the yeah the Trey Waters fight it was pretty ugly
There cuz like we had seen Trey Waters get finished relatively early so obviously get like Waters is a weird awkward style super super tall long type of opponent but uh it was pretty ugly for him and yeah obviously he had the Jason wit fight but Jason wit like a
Cool breeze strolls by and it knocks that guy unconscious so um I think Barlo is a rightful favorite probably not somebody that actually is going to that people are going to be clamoring to bet on because you know Contender series guy but he’s one of the guys I remember from
Contender series that I was like okay I can see how this guy works at this level so Barlo for me what about you yeah I’m going to go with Barlo as well you mentioned the thing with quinland quinland when he was an amateur basically finished every body in the
First round as a pro he was having a lot of these quick finishes and then when he got that no contest against Urban from the pissing positive yeah one has to wonder what that took out of him he looked so uncharacteristically uncharacteristically bad his last time
Out against Trey I just I I couldn’t I couldn’t get behind him right away but Barlo I like Barlo here’s my Danny Barlo story so uh the last time I was down in Nashville for Aries I it was a Nashville underground card but the last time I was
Down there for the Aries show um it’s in Nashville Barlo is from Memphis Tennessee from the law school so he actually had a training partner on the show so the the way they got it set up is you know those like punching machines like the the speed bag comes down you
Punch this thing it registers your score they got one there and it’s like $100 to the highest punch so I take like four or five cracks of this thing I I can’t get it to 800 I’m so close but it’s like 772 786 794 I I can’t I can’t break 8800 my
Boy Greg Hopkins he’s there he’s a former amateur n middleweight Pro right um 185 pounder not exactly 185 at the time he’s a little off season he blows this thing and yeah he’s way higher than me but it’s like 9 920 9917 920 and you know a couple other people are hitting
It this place is packed right there’s a lineup Danny Barlo rolls in and they’re just like oh Danny Barlo blah blah he took one punch on this thing dude one single punch was like 967 it’s the highest of a room of like 500 people most of which have been
Punching this thing 10 times it’s at Michael Chandler’s gym there’s there’s a 100 pro fighters in this room Mor vaj and those guys like to register that kind of score just intense he threw one punch one punch so I look at him and his nickname is left hand to God brother I
Understand why oh my God he’s got some legitimate power and as you mentioned he’s got skills as well he took that fight versus Raheem Forest on the contender series both guys are actually from the state of Tennessee both guys were friendly it was like who’s the real
Deal that’s going to progress with their forward and who’s the guy that’s going to have to go back to the regional scene but you seen the second that he touched him he put him away man so Danny Barlo is a guy that’s physically strong got a
Lot of good skills going his way but at 28 and that kind of physicality when they give him guys that are primarily going to want to stand in front of him he’s going to be one of these Trevor Peak types he’s got more skill than peak
In terms of like you know sharper boxing and all these things but the under Ling you know I can just detonate you with one shot it still remains there and so raw rough around the edges and certain situations yes you have to match this guy up properly quinland is exactly that
He pissed hot in the contender series like three years ago and he’s had like one fight since then so he’s not Super Active he’s primarily a striker he’s a guy that it needs to get you out of there in the first two rounds because if he tries to swarm you with volume he’s
Going to tire out he’s not on the good stuff no more and he’s coming off of very very very flat performance so how does he approach this one if he wants to come out and wrestle Barlo it’s it’s it’s deriving from your natural game plan you’re not a wrestler so he’s going
To strike with him and he’s going to be maybe a little faster and he’s going to be a little more spry he’s going to throw a few kicks and he’s gonna eventually he’s going to have to engage him I think Barlo just melts him over the top so this is another situation I
Will just take the Barlo straight up but it’s another situation where when you look at Josh quinland he never been knocked out right like he got hit a 100 times by Trey w but other than that he was undefeated so there’s nothing to suggest that he’s chinny but he got hit
100 times by Trey Waters and what I’m trying to tell you is that if Danny Barlo hits him a hundred times he’s not going to the hospital he’s going to the cemetery so yeah I I think you might be able to get a good barow by knockout
Prop given that quinland has no history of durability issues but the guy damir broke the machine took the $100 cash and waled out of there I’m a big Barlo fan now man so I wish nothing but the best uh you know not the easiest UFC debut
Going but you know if you’re the real deal you got skills these are the fights you should be winning yeah and the total on that is uh is already kind of Juiced I mean it’s minus 125 to the under one and a half rounds so uh I wouldn’t
Expect any sort of like crazy Barlo by KO props to become available to be perfectly honest but obviously we’re doing the show way too far in advance for uh for any props to be dropped yet um but yeah it sounds like Barlo is the play for both of us we got Oban Elliott
Taking on Val Woodburn Oban Elliott is a minus 270 F favorite Val can be had for plus 230 you know this is this is Val this is Val’s opportunity now cuz he you know he took the uh the spot that nobody wanted taking on Bo nickel on incredibly short
Notice but like he takes that fight being like they’re going to give me another opportunity and um obviously he gets absolutely throttled in 38 seconds but it’s like now we’re back down to 170 which is uh more a more fitting weight class for him because he was obviously way too
Short 485 lbs um I mean most most I feel like most uh middleweights outside of the top 15 probably have the same fate as Val wood Woodburn so um I will admit I don’t really remember too much about Oben and Elliot uh his fight on the contender
Series I see won by majority decision the back of my brain is telling me that like that it wasn’t the greatest performance by any stretch of the imagination do you remember that one because this is one of the fights that is a little bit foggy for me um yeah
What’s your take here yeah so I actually don’t mind know about Eliot he was fought for cage Warriors for a while before coming over the contender Series so you know he did have some legitimate experience and then the guy that he beat on the contender series that Kik Brito
Uh Kik Brito not bad I mean that Robert bur guy proved to be the biggest fraud this weekend eore kicked his ass Paul but like k k knocked that guy in the first round out 170 right so like K burito not a bad Fighter the fact that
That obon Elliot was able to go out there and kind of I don’t know have spots as you mentioned majority decision but obon got the four takedowns he outst struck land outlanding him 5842 it’s again it’s not the easiest fight going I think there’s some stuff
That you can like from Oban Elliott and he will be my pick here uh again because we’re shooting the show so early it’s not like I just don’t know that I have that same confidence I should from these early prelim guys as opposed to some of the main card guys just because you’ve
Had more time to look at it or you’re more familiar but I like what I see out of obon Elliott again he’s foughten a decent level of European Regional scene guys he’s fairly well-rounded um you know got some good things going his way Val Woodburn meanwhile it’s not like
It’s anything against him how much can you really know from that one fight but I’ll tell you the issue to me the issue to me is here’s a fighter who has less than 10 Pro fights and he’s 30 years old he’s not fought necessarily a bad level
Of competition but he he’s fighting on lower level Regional shows when they call for Bo nickel like you said this is your opportunity to jump over having to go to LFA and jump over having to go to the contender series and jump over having to physically earn it from that
Like that one key Victory or that long winning streak it’s like here’s an opportunity to take a guy that nobody else wants to fight look at that guy fighting Umar Nago I’m not saying he’s a badass just nobody wants to fight Umar fight I’ve seen Umar complaining on
Twitter I didn’t know somebody actually took it though well it ain’t Cory sandhagen but uh but yeah they they they have to bring in some guy who’s just like I’ll do it because I don’t have a job with the UFC and it’s I I would really like one
BeIN he’s 17 and one from kazak I bet you I bet you he’s good yeah Maxum was 17 and0 from Kazakhstan he lost to Charles Johnson Paul so that’s Fair Salt Bay that’s a that’s a Salt Bay record right there for you pal all I’m saying
Is nobody wants to fight these guys so just putting your hand up will get you a job and that’s what val did the more troubling thing to me though is Val talk big game he went to Vegas he had all these guys in Vegas talking him up how
This guy’s a decent training partner in the gym he jumps in there everybody and their mama knows he’s goingon to get taken down and smashed and he did not get taken down and smash he got knocked out right away like Bo half closed his eyes and hit him and it folded him up
Man so like that’s that’s like Bo can crack sure but like that’s not Bo’s primary game he was going to wrestle people in the know looked at Val Woodburn and were like that guy doesn’t have a neck so I don’t know how he could get a submission yeah you know what possible
How are you going to front headlock a guy that uh there’s nothing to grab on to and peel him to the ground but yeah I don’t know man even Bose seems surprised like he he closed his eyes and cracked the guy and the guy toppled over and it
Was just like oh my God then after that it’s like yeah I got hands too it’s yeah okay that’s fair but Val I’m not necessarily so on his cardio I’m not sold on his durability I’m not sold on his level of experience his level of talent whereas obon I’m sure he still
Got some learning to do but again here’s a fighter that’s only 26 years old and already has 11 Pro fights already fought for cage Warriors which was which is the top European Regional promotion went on the contender series bought a tough Brazilian guy beat him you know like
That that’s how you make it and you go on and so is is it like the easiest walk in the park one guy won his last fight one guy got beat up in 36 seconds like no no like you know expect a better version of Woodburn but in the same breath expect a
Better version of obon Elliott and so I don’t think that Woodburn’s going to throw up the volume necessar I don’t think he takes him down so he’s gonna have to hit him with a one hitter quitter and I think Elliot’s got a decent chin on him so I’ll take obon
Elliott that’s fair I really don’t have like a a take on this one just looking at uh Val Woodburn’s his nickname is the animal I mean there is no neck there that could be problematic and he’s coming down to one 170 for the purposes of this show I have
I doubt I actually bet it but I’ll pick Val I’ll pick Val just strictly based off of his uh his appearance on his tapology page real hard-hitting analysis take Val yeah I’m gonna take Val I think you know what the interesting one is I think like close fight for Oba and
Elliott and Val Val’s I believe he trains in Vegas in like a pretty decent room he’s obviously been getting ready for this fight I think 170 is going to be a better fit for him um and yeah OB Elliot was like his last fight was like using wrestling to take him down maybe
He takes him down holds him there and like Val can’t do anything but like Val at 170 it’s probably a big- Time spark spark plug could be a dangerous fight I I have no interest in betting uh a contender series guy that I didn’t really necessarily think was good when I
Watched him on that on that very night at minus 270 that’s really what it comes down to for me it’s probably a straightup pass but it’s the show is called dogger pass that’s where I’m at we got yeah go ahead no we’ll pass we’ll pass we’ve talked too long Val wood bird
I was going make some more cracks at him but we we should move on okay let’s do that we got Miranda Maverick taking on Andrea KGB Lee Maverick minus 200 favorite Le can be had for plus 170 who you got yeah this one CF Da Model all
Day long not because you like it because that’s the way this is gonna go so I like Miranda I like both these girls but I like Miranda Maverick you know I like the cut of her jib she comes to the UFC she is supremely jacked and I think this
Girl is so big and strong that she going to just outm muscle a lot of girls to the ground and beat them up on the ground but it just it doesn’t really play out like that she initially had some quality victories Victoria lard is not that good but she beat her like she
Was just a kid right she beats uh goes on invictor beats her again beats chaina young beats di Bennett beats Pearl Gonzalez um UFC debut sorry second fight in the UFC Jillian Robertson like everything is trending in the right direction and then I don’t know what
Happens I don’t know if it’s a mental block I don’t know if it’s the rest of the division caught up but suddenly Miranda Maverick just get super stale in there right like the wrestling is not converting to the highest level the Striking is not there the volume’s not
There she doesn’t have much of a reach to her 65 I guess it’s not that bad 53 65 Ines but she pulls up on her punches like she doesn’t step through she doesn’t land on the target she’s not trying to drive through their opponent she just like pulls the punch throws it
Three quarters way he gets there pulls back you know the wrestling half committed to the wrestling so when she fights I guess the sabinaa Mazo fight we were both really heavy on but uh yeah she wins but she had to take her down four times because even Maza was getting
Up her fight with Shaina young she dominates Shaina young but Shaina young not very good the Jasmine jasa deisius fight whenever she shot the takedown on Jas Jas just reversed her just stonewal her ended up on top of her ends up taking her once down cleanly herself
Striking numbers will show that it was tight 67 to 63 but you go and you watch the fight Jasmine’s just got her number she’s got her number standing she’s got her number on the ground Miranda Maverick looks largely lost and then she comes from that she has to fight with
Priscilla katera now as you know because Priscilla kachera is your girl and Priscilla is capable of Landing a heater on somebody but when she hits the deck and you’re on top of her it’s game over it’s game over she can’t grapple she can’t wrestle Randa Maverick took her to
The third round they dominated her till the third round but like the grappling is not that good the wrestling’s not that good the Striking is not that good and fight to fight she looked as good against uh Macy Barber she looked really good against Maisy bar got robbed then she looked worse against
Blanchfield she looked mediocre against Mazo she looked okay against Shaya young was lowlevel she looked awful against Jasmine she looked pedestrian against Priscilla Catu it’s like in five fights since her fight with Macy Barber she’s trending downwards and Macy seems to be trending upwards I don’t know it doesn’t
Really matter what matters is I don’t see the improvements and all of a sudden I’m just not very high on her and all of a sudden they’re going to try to feed her to you at some point as a minus 200 favorite which she is here and it’s very
Unwarranted and so here’s my issue with her beating Andrea Le at these odds right Maverick is kind of live or di by those takedowns right like even where she has those spots of success like Catera or Mao it’s because she’s getting three takedowns in them the jasine J
Devis’s fight where she can’t take you down she’s not comfortable on falling back to plan B which is being forced to strike she needs the take down Lee has traditionally had bad takedown defense but she’s worked on it so much it’s not that bad anymore her fight with Natalia
Silva her last timeout you know she’s somewhat competitive at least fighting a high Echelon fighter takes her best shots not bad her fight prior to that with Macy Barber they both landed multiple takedowns she had five Barber had two fight before that Vivan Royo Vivan Royo is a pretty tough girl who
Fights some just fought Natalia Silva in a very competitive fight Andrea Lee had a clean knockdown out struck her took her down once she’s there she’s just not over that hump but aoy is a former World title Challenger Macy Barber was supposed to be you know this big deal
Natal Natalia Silva is actually legit those are good girls Brandon Maverick is fighting the Lilian xua of the world you know she’s fighting Saina Mazo she’s fighting Priscilla Catera it’s overly looking all that good against them so if it’s even money maybe a fool like me could trick myself into
Playing one more on on on Old Maverick one more time for shits and gigs but like at minus 200 and worse you’re you’re asking for problems because it’s it’s all Optics it’s all Lee is on a three-fight losing streak and Maverick won a last fight let Lee fight Maverick’s
Competition and see how good she looks real good let Maverick fight the girls Lee’s been fighting and she’s on the three-fight losing streak herself right so so even money fight I’m going to agree with you this line I cannot agree with you and it just has to be an auto bet on the
Underdog so I will take Andre Le to win by decision yeah the CF CF dot model all over this one Cody yeah it’s Andrea Le just mostly because like if you look at Mavericks I’m sure you probably said it in your like five minute break but down
But I’ll I’ll keep it pretty quick here Andrea Lee when she’s not on her back getting controlled in wrestling which is obviously in play and that’s how Maverick would probably have her most success in this fight but it’s like she’s able to throw up a 100 significant
Strikes in volume and I feel like from what we’ve seen from Maverick it’s like that’s not really in her wheelhouse 60 is probably like a ceiling in terms of significant strikes that we’ll see from her um in a fight and a lot of these women’s fights do come down to like
Who’s just more active who’s throwing more volume if she’s if Maverick’s not getting takedowns securing control and absolutely holding her down while they’re on the feet she’s going to be you know she’s going to be eating probably more shots um and it’s plus one70 so don’t threaten me with a good
Time so yeah Andrea Lee is the pick for me I haven’t made any bets obviously we as we have said multiple times over the course of this show we’re recording the Sunday after uh the previous UFC Apex card so it is uh very very early in the week this could probably change make
Sure you follow uh CJ sapic on Twitter for uh any sort of change that could happen over the week usually on Saturday Saturday morning he’ll drop his PRP but the preliminary PRP Cody hit him with it yeah we’re gonna go with Alexander vinoski even money at the top Robert
Whitaker Ian Gary um Robos vely Anthony Hernandez McKenzie dur is dog number one Justin toffa is dog number two Rin Nakamura uh Brayson robero is dog number three Danny Barlo obon Elliott and Andrea Lee so four underdogs that’s what we had last week we got four come
Through but there was like six on the card in total so is what it is we’re going to go for another four this week as well 12 Fight Card hopefully yeah hopefully four of the dogs come through and yeah listen this is a top-notch pay-per-view I think there’s
Going to be a lot of excitement and the only thing that makes it better is when you make it a winning profitable night so Paul I know you’re going on vacation you’ll be hopefully watching it on the beach somewhere but you’re talking about Florida like it’s uh I don’t know
Dominican Republic or something like it’s winter there too right it’s cold isn’t it oh it’s like it’s I mean we we speak in Celsius but like the the forecast in like the fort Meers area is like 22 to 25 degrees celsus which is like mid 70s low 80s every single day I
Think it gets a little bit chilly at this time of year at night time time um which is kind of welcomed like who wants to sleep when it’s like super super hot and sweaty and disgusting um yeah Megan said she do but but I have a fan on even in the winter
Time not for my body type it doesn’t work doesn’t work out well gets all messy celiacs don’t like uh the heat at night no no it’s pretty cold like pat pat in this studio here Pat’s always like turning the heat all the way up and like
Yeah I just I built built From a Different Cloth I suppose uh quickly the uh the plays that have my attention not necessarily don’t have my money yet but vul ganowski in the main event I mean it’s a pick him give me the champ give
Me a guy who’s able to put up a pace that like that really everybody outside of the 155 pound champion has really struggled against so um vulcanos is the man one fight is not going to make me jump off the wagon there um even though I really do respect ilot
Topura Brenson robero it’s your classic heavyweight you’re going to give me plus money on a fight that I think at the worst case scenario is 5050 and I saw him on Contender series um he looked dangerous at the very least but who knows it’s it’s a bit of a wild one uh
The under one and a half rounds will probably be super juicy but probably a nice little parlay piece Danny Barlo I think is a nice parlay piece uh Andrea KGB Lee uh will be getting some my money considering having done it considering cejudo and considering D like those ones
I put question marks next to because I’m thinking about it the ones that I really liked were yeah uh Lee quinland robero and vul that is if oh and Rena by sub interesting to see what happens when uh when that I’m ready to Hur again after
The Fernie Garcia fight cuz uh that one was damn close it was like plus 500 and I had up bag on it would have been I I I I can totally see that one I’d also I’d also recommend watching Wayne he’s my greasy Theory locking in volkanovski
Baby ilot Toria right when he uh he was supposed to fight Charles Jord day in 2022 and he he bought the weight cut and then they moved him to 55 and he fought Jay Herbert at 155 wa 156 he’s only actually had two fights since coming back down to featherweight Bryce
Mitchell he weighed 146 flat Josh Emitt 146 flat but now was the championship fight you got to make 145 flat Paul that one pound is going to exhaust him so uh let’s go baby I’m pumped up enjoy your vacation well deserved and uh yeah yeah
Glad to do it early so that we get at least chat fights instead of skipping it all together yes sir yes sir all right that is it for us this week hope you enjoyed the show for producer Megan and Cody sapic I’m Paul Shawnessy saying goodbye and good luck hey

LETS GOOOOO. You know its gonna be a good week when they release dog or pass early
My man paul with the 4 dog picks that hit last card, and 12/13 on picks your awesome
I was 10/11 on my parlay with 4 dogs. Petrosyan screwed me out of 5000 dollars. We’ll get em this week Cody
ON A SUNDAY?
Hernandez is going to sleep💤💤
Whoever that guy is picking against Kopylov sounds super soy
Appreciate the early posting fellas
Paul, Cody and Megan with an early drop 🔥
Ok ok ok
Early cast boys LFG!!!
Volk all day long..Topuria is future champ material, but, in my view he is ranked 4th behind yair, max and Volk, and I think he would probably lose to all three of those guys, and probably will..In a few years, might be a different situation..
Volk, Whitiker, Garry, Merab, Kopylov…
guys listen back to the shows so many sound problems every episode, getting hard to listen too
Dern has subbed no one, and on the feet Lemos will kill her
Early this week . Nice any chance to do a show similar to clints live action report where you go over fights with a bookmaker. That would be awesome content
Josh Fremd ….Slippery Rock wrestling….made me smile that you knew that Cody…good show boys!
Best surprise ever!
Gonna bet Ian Garry in every parlay just so he loses
I’m in Florida! Let’s drink and talk some picks in the Sun on the beach 🏝️
I think Neal gets it done
Paul killed it .. highest score in TM
EARLY! Word!
airboat hahaha living in florida, i love hearing this hahaha come to miami boys!
Awesome job Saturday
Paul apologizing for interrupting Cody for the first time ever was a huge milestone. He just can't help himself 🤣🤣
Enjoy your vacay Shagster!!!!
MAYO , KEEP IT SHORT , ILIA GETTING KNOCK OUT OR TKO . SAY NO MORE .
28:52 Paul strikes again. Dude shut up and let Cody speak
Cody =🐐. Great show and breakdowns guys.
Saying nobody beat Yan "clean" is massive cope. Aljo and O'Malley pretty clearly beat him if you understand the scoring criteria, and he's actually lucky they were even split decisions.
Yan beat the corpses of Aldo and Faber for his gifted belt and was called P4P #1 by the fans because of it. It was a joke. I remember when fans said Aljo vs Cory should've been the real title fight, and Aljo was the real champ.
The problem with this disillusion is that certain fans perceived Yan as unbeatable, hence cries of "robbery" when he loses rounds. Actually WATCH what the fighters are doing in each round.
He wasn't robbed, he just fought actual elite guys in their prime now. Yan got DQ'd because of his own actions. I could not be any more confident Song is going to beat him too.
I enjoy Marco Rogerio De Lima's muay thai style. Hands up, tight guard and hard low kicks.
He has the experience but Tafa hits like a truck and is southpaw
1:04 in: Ah! A snow goose! This user just recently returned from an almost-week-long trip to Florida and….well….it's not quite the most libertarian place to be in the U.S.S.A, actually. Northern Miami/south Boca and other places is a series of ghettos linked together man! The hotel this user got was infested with bugs, like cockroaches and ants and other critters, and they were able to get into almost all of this user's luggage and coolers, despite being closed or high-up off the ground! Lot of crime down in that area too! That said, there were a few highlights. It just seems like that end of Florida is hit-or-miss depending on the time of year and price one is willing to pay-up for quality. Yuh get whacha pay for, it's just that's a little higher range down there than in other places, where the same amount would've netted a better stay! And this is in non-hurricane season too! Whilst there may not be a State income tax, they find other ways to rob yuh with their off-hand whilst pretending to shake one's hand with their other! And the Florida Seminole Casino(s), like the one in Coconut Creek, is a rip-off, as nice and clean and non-smoking as it is, the sports betting kiosks have a $20 MINIMUM per parlay/bet!!! That's highway robbery compared to everywhere else that has a $5 or less minimum!!! Had this user placed their bets on NHL and NBA elsewhere, on the second day and maybe the third day, this user would've' won THOUSANDS, but ended up with squat because of the $20 minimum! Also, Ronnie DeSanctimonious shakes hands with genociders and locks up free-speech advocates and signed an anti-free-speech bill into law and closed the beaches during the last hurricane there.
Love love Andrea too!!!
You guys make every fight week better. Thanks 🙂 👊
Im over hearing people saying Paolo is a "knockout artist" When is he straignt knocking people out? Its more of a tko due to swarming, not KO lights out from any fights I can recall. I dont see Whittaker being swarmed. But my luck, Ill finally bet on Whittaker so he'll lose lol
