In this episode we are going to preview and predict blanchfield vers Fiero that happens on March 30th 2024 in Atlantic City New Jersey if you’re new around here I would appreciate it if you would consider subscribing to the channel and if you are a returning visitor welcome

Back to the program always great to see familiar faces and familiar names in the comments section I love interacting with you guys week in and week out we’ve grown a lot over the past few weeks so I want to clarify a few things before we

Get into it number one I am not a professional handicapper I am just simply an MMA YouTuber and I am giving you guys my insights on how I’m going to be betting this upcoming card number two the timestamps it doesn’t show up on one bar and segmented how it used to so if

You want to hear my insights on a particular fight go to the description of this video and all the timestamps are there just click on the time for the corresponding fight that you want and it’ll go right there 14 bouts on this upcoming card and I want to get to all

Of them and it starts off with a fight at featherweight where Nate landware will be going up against Jamal emers Nate landar is the former M1 featherweight Champion somewhat interesting fact about him he’s 35 years old so a little bit on the older side for somebody that’s relatively new to

The promotion according to the odds he is the plus 165 Underdog and Jamal emmer the minus 190 betting favorite now originally land wear was supposed to fight Pat sabatini that fight ends up falling off so now enter one Jamal emers who steps up to the plate on short notice for this fight

This is the theme with n land where he almost never fights who he was initially supposed to so you’re talking about a guy who’s going to be unfazed at the prospect of emmer stepping up to the plate on short notice I don’t think that’s going to be a huge discomfort for

Him for land wear he last fought against Dan eay he was a plus 210 underdog now Dan eegay was the 13th ranked Contender at that point in time and they were trying to essentially build up eay again eay you have to remember was kind of

Going on a skid they were trying to feed him some wins this is a guy that they really like he’s been a staple in the promotion for a really long time it was a one and four stretch and he had just beat Damon Jackson to get back in the

Wing column so the UFC’s plan was to build Dan back up again and you have to do that against a somewhat quasi reputable opponent and Nate landw would definitely fill the bill so I went in I looked at this fight because I wanted this I want a frush reminder of how competitive this

Fight was was in the first it was a very competitive round eay sat him down clear first round for eay in the second scored with a jab repeatedly to the body 20 seconds he’s blasting Nate landar again and sets him down in the second round kind of more of the same scoring with

The jab for eegay and he is repeatedly hitting the body of land wear and then 20 seconds or so he blast land wear again and sets him down and then in the third round land wear we saw him come out really aggressive elbows knees clench work High motor and that really

Surprised me about him it was a valiant effort but let’s not get it twisted this fight went exactly according to plan and Dan eay ends up coming up on top prior to that he fought Austin lingo he was a minus 270 betting favorite and in the very first minute of the first round

Lingo looked pretty good he cut land wear early but land wear ended up rallying late and I think he did enough to take the first round in the second you got the sense that land wear was pulling away he scores a body lock takedown on lingo

Lingo gives up his back and you could see this rear nicker choke coming from a mile away so somewhat of a bag of mixed results here I mean but we do go back for a few years this fight against Ludi Klein that looks pretty good in retrospect he gets a loss against Julian

Rosa who at that time was on a bit of a tear so not a huge big deal losing to Rosa three years ago David onama he gets a decision nod there and then of course the win I just talked about over Austin lingo so he’s beating the lower level

Guys struggling against um the elite but I mean you lose to Dan eay you lose to Julian Rosa three years ago not the biggest deal overall I would say he has met expectations getting into the UFC he’ll be fighting Jamal emers the Pretty Boy 20 and7 and can we get this guy some

New b-roll like every time he is on a fight preview he has like an afro and then he walks out with like a shaved head so UFC can we please get some new b-roll on this guy for the uh pre-fight introductions that would be nice Jamal

Emmer 20 and seven he last fought Dennis bazuka not that long ago and then he dropped a fight against Jack Jenkins wins over asbab a loss against Pat sabatini so you know tra trading wins and losses kind of going back and forth in the Dennis bazooka fight there

Was a weight Miss and I believe it was on Dennis bazooka’s side I want to make sure I am attributing to that no it was actually on Emmer’s side okay so emers came in heavy at at 147 pounds so not a good look there but something to kind of

Keep in ey on let’s so let’s keep an eye on that going into this one uh he doesn’t have a hit history of missing weight so hopefully that was just a one-time thing the thing that stood out to me really the only thing we could talk about he puts away bazooka in under

A minute it was just a it was a clean right that just absolutely melts Dennis bazooka and ends the fight basically right when it begins the one thing I look at when I stack these two up is I’m going to presume based off of history

That this is likely going to be a fight that happens most ly on the feet Nate landar really talented guy he can do a lot of things really well but the thing that stands out to me about Nate land wear that is a pause for concern is this

Guy gets hit a lot and that is the one thing that I’m expecting in this fight I’m expecting Jamal emers to be able to use his range pretty effectively Nate landar being the shorter guy he’s going to have to press the action he’s going to have to get in the pocket and that’s

Going to come at a toll I’m expecting Jamal Emmer’s footwork to be on point for this one I think he’s going to be able to handle Nate land wear and his striking threat over the course of a three round fight I understand it’s on short notice and a lot of people are

Automatically going to fade emers and go to land wear as of by virtue of that and I understand that but I’m going to be going Jamal emers by decision in the very first fight okay guys we move on up the card where Melissa gate will be going up against Victoria D toova some

Controversy about D toova in her most recent fight fight there’s an issue of her competing with a staff infection that she did not make public she was not on antibiotics and she talked in in postf fight interviews about basically her W her wound rupturing and a lot of

People were pissed off about that she is the plus 130 Underdog in this fight and then she goes up against Melissa gate the Brazilian on a skid lately but nonetheless she’s still the minus 155 favorite let’s talk about Gate’s most recent it was against ariani lipsky it

It was one in which she fell short and here’s the thing with her she was the minus 230 betting favorite in this fight and the issue I have with Melissa gate is it’s really all about the Optics with her now if you have the hindsight and the benefit of going back rewatching

Her fights two three four times in a row and you have the UFC stats tab open and you can go back and also look at that you can it’s easy to have a different opinion from your initial perception on how she fights optically she is a terrible fighter to watch and she has

Herself in disadvantageous positions all the time she might be getting controlled for a prolonged amount of time but it just seems and maybe it’s a little anecdotal or maybe it’s a bit of coincidence I suppose is the better word but at the end of her fights like you’ll

Go and you’ll look at the at the Striking statistics and she’ll like out strike her opponents or it’ll seem that she’s been controlled for a really long time on the ground but then she ended up actually having more control time for her opponents and like more takedown

Attempts so it’s just it’s a really kind of bizarre theme I found out about um Melissa gate and in any event like her fighting style when she does things and when she does look good it she doesn’t always get full credit for it and and I don’t really know why I think that’s

Really bizarre and do it for yourself pull up UFC stats look at the stats and then go back and look at her fights for the second or third time and you might end up being surprised but in any event her fight against lipsky that one doesn’t go her way against Tracy Cortez

She was a plus 120 betting Underdog in the first round she was more active despite being on her back she was threatening submission attempts Cortez was very much the pass passenger I felt in the very first round in the second round it was kind of a rinse and repeat

More of the same from gate I thought she had the second round in the bank and then the third it was a clear win uh for Tracy Cortez I mean you can’t really argue the third round for Cortez she absolutely won that and that’s the thing

With gate as I said before she just spent way much she just spent way too much time on her back and it’s just not a good luck you’re in this day and age you are not going to win an MMA fight even if you are really active uh you

Aren’t going to win an MMA fight off your back just that’s just not the way uh MMA works now we can debate on whether or not that should be the case but hey facts are facts so we’re on a two fight losing skid for Melissa gate

At this point in time let’s talk about the Russian undefeated 8-0 she fights jinu fry in her most recent fight and this happened at strawweight so we are going up a weight class here we’ll see if it ends up paying off a pedestrian performance for dudova in her bout

Against jinu fry who was basically brought into job they gave her the easiest person they could have and you know I would expect a little bit more dominance from a minus 500 betting favorite what can we make out of her victory over Estella Nunes here I don’t

Really think we can put too much into it for the uh people who aren’t familiar or if you’ve never seen this fight think back to when Dustin St Fus fought uh Joe pyer it was the same situation a bizarre injury that ended up happening so who knows how that fight would have played

Out if they actually were able to compete and if nunas didn’t end up getting injured and I look at this one this is really truly for me a 50-50 fight um D toova plus 130 up a weight class you know she shown flashes of being a talented Prospect in the past I

Mean I do like her striking I do like her strength the move up to flyweight I think is a little intriguing to me I think she’s big enough to handle flyweight uh 55 that’s that’s decentish size she’s not going to be the biggest flyweight of course but no con no real

Concerns with me about uh this potential move up with her not being uh with her presumably being fit and healthy for this fight and if I can get her at plus 130 uh I’m okay with that actually so I am going to take a chance I’m gonna say

Victoria dudova gets this one done by decision but I have uh pretty low confidence in this selection it’s really kind of more of a protest pick against gate than it is an endorsement of dud toova I don’t like gate optically I don’t I don’t like her fighting style I don’t look I if

This fight ends up going to the cards and it’s likely going to um the just the way that she fights I think the judges are going to favor somebody like dudakova I think gate for her to win this fight she is going to need to have

Changed a lot of things in terms of how she approaches fights and you know she’s going have to use her Jiu-Jitsu basically to get a submission and I don’t like those things so I’m not super high on gate and at minus 155 despite her being a talented fighter I’m

Actually going to go the other way I’m gonna say dud toova get it gets it done by decision but this is a fight guys that I think it’s doger pass all right guys we move on up the card to the light heavyweight division where ebo oon will

Be going up against Anton Turley this is actually going to be a rematch these two fought on the regional Circuit of few years back the results have not been there now losing to Gilton Almeida not the worst loss to take in retrospect he looks like every bit of a serious

Contender but then losses against vtor patrino and then Tyson Pedro most recently really not quite sure what to make of this guy and you have to think he is in absolute Do or Die mode and the UFC they’re putting him up against IO oslon oon is 12- one he is from Turkey

He’s got an impressive record the one thing about him that is going to stand out to a lot of people is they’re going to look at how he wins fights 12 wins all by knockout not a guy that’s ever been to a decision so that is uh very

Very interesting about him but guys when something seems like it’s too good to be true it probably is and that I think is the case with oslon like go back into his record look at the type of guys he is fighting and he is fighting complete

Jabbers that’s great you beat a 12-2 guy on Contender congratulations to you but is that enough to overshadow the fact that he’s beating up on five- nine guys 18 and 21 guys six and seven guys you get choked out by Anton Turley before that I mean look at who he’s fighting

And that is a major major red flag but guys let’s also talk talk about Anton Turley Three L’s in a row but who’s he been fighting okay you went on Contender but you beat a five in one guy okay not a huge deal that’s fine I’m not

Going to give you crap about that you beat Evo oslon and then before that who’s he fighting so again not the steepest competition I don’t think it’s as bad as oslon ozon’s records padded as I’ll get out this is a battle between two guys that I think come to the table

With a ton of question marks the odds have this one at a minus 110 pick them and I think that’s certainly fair this fight putting it bluntly guys was a complete [ __ ] show show and who who knows what is going to happen in this bout at minus 110 guys I’m just simply

Telling you guys at minus 110 this is a bout in which none of the neither of these guys really deserve to be favored none of these both neither of these guys are UFC caliber in my opinion and I’m telling you guys to avoid this fight do

Not bet money on this fight I just settled on Turley getting this one done by knockout he put away Aon before Aon Fades really badly or at least he did in the past whether he has the cardio this time or not I guess that’ll remain to be

Seen but this is a fight that truly it’s a 5050 coin flip I have no idea no outcome is really going to surprise me but I’m telling all of you guys stay away from this fight do not bet on this fight you have no business betting on

This fight I’m taking Turley by knockout and we’ll end up we’ll see what happens for that one but I have ultra low confidence in that you can’t be confident about either of these guys going into something like this and if anyone tells you differently they are completely lying so turley’s going to be

The pick but both of these guys are jobbers don’t bet on this one all right guys we move on to the featherweight division where Julio AR will be going up against Herbert Burns and yes you heard that correctly this is going to be a fight contested at 145 pounds Julio AR a

Big betting favorite minus 550 in this fight and then Herbert Burns at plus 400 the most recent fight for RSA that happened back in 2022 was against Montel Jackson clear decision for Jackson Who outpointed R clear decision for Montel Jackson disappointing performance for AR prior to that he fights Daniel Santos

This was complete domination he put on an absolute clinic and smacked Santos around for the 15-minute duration of this fight this fight against uh Bill Alo he was the plus 175 betting Underdog he nearly finished Alo with the submission and he put everything into it but he ends up losing position and then

You see Alo just completely unload on burns with ground and pound and he came close to finishing him in the second Burns threatens a choke again they end up grappling Burns is in a position he goes for a submission doesn’t get it Alo gets out of it and it’s to the point

There gets to a point where alio finds his feet he disengages and waits for burns to stand up like how he’s supposed to and burns is so compromis he can’t even stand up and the referee is forced to wave the fight off because of Burns’s refusal to even get up but

Guys this is just a fight that I’m going to stay away from I know that Julio AR is going to be a popular pick here a lot of people are going to Parlay him but at minus 550 I just think that is too much risk and not enough reward to me Julio R

I think is probably going to end up winning a decisive decision but there’s some time away from the Octagon Herbert Burns might pick up a round um and and who knows what R looks like I don’t know how healthy he is I don’t know what he

Looks like at 145 pounds so there are some unknown factors that I look at and I’m like eh minus 550 that’s a little steep for me he should get this one done so if you end up parlaying him I understand why you would I definitely don’t think Herbert Burns is going to

Win this this I don’t think Herbert Burns is going to pull this one out so I’m definitely not going the other way I’m not going plus 400 for burns I still think that’s way too low B and then you have every right to be very concerned about Herbert Burns based off of that

Last performance even though it was a few years ago um R is going to be the pick I say he gets this one done by decision but this is going to be a fight that I’m going to stay away from all right guys we move on up the card where

Angel Pacho will be going up against kin lochran Angel Pacho is the plus 240 betting Underdog and lochran is the minus 300 favorite angel poo made it to the dance because of the epic fight that him and Danny Silva had on Contender and this is a new weight class

For poo he fought Danny Silva at featherweight but he’s also fought as high as lightweight in the past so Pacho is a guy that’s bounced around a few different weight classes based off of his size I do think that somewhere like featherweight bantamweight one of those two is probably the appropriate weight

Class for him but he definitely looks like an ineter to me and he’s going to go ahead take a chance and competing at bantamweight so I applaud him for making a move like that especially in his early 30s making 135 pounds probably not the easiest thing to do for a guy with his

Body type but he’s going to go out there and he’s going to give it a go the fight against Danny Silva he lost a 3027 pretty clearly but I mean the bout was entertaining as hell I wanted to go back though because I wanted a bigger sample

Size I didn’t want to spend too much time on the contender I wanted to see what he looked like so I went back to the regional I went back to the regional circuit where he fought vson Dron and when I watched this fight I did notice

That he got clipped by Dron in the first he definitely lost the first round in my opinion but then the second he pressures Dron he Clips him with a flying knee and Dron just crumples and agel Pacho takes his back softens him up with some ground and pound and then he eventually finds

His neck and ends this fight so there are a few things about him um he does have some ability he does have some skill off the ground he will shoot on you we just didn’t really see a whole heck of a lot of that in that Silva

Fight let’s talk a little bit about his opponent kayin lockran now this is a guy that I’m familiar with I’ve seen him fight in cage Warriors for a number of years he’s a young guy he was the cage Warriors bantamweight champion if you were to tell me that this guy would have

Ended up achieving the level of success he has in MMA I would have laughed at you because here’s why I say that go into his career and look at who he’s fighting when he starts off his career both of these guys I think are flagged from tapology like these guys if

You beat re Street like that doesn’t even count anymore look at this like this is one of the most horrific records I’ve ever seen tapies flagged that opponent and then I think they’ve done that with this guy too one in 42 record so these are two guys

That basically got paid to lay down that’s an important caveat with Callen lockran not a lot of people are going to talk about that like that’s one of those these are the wins that nobody talks about he made up for that in 2022 look at who he goes up against um Luke Shanks

Is a very high level opponent and Dylan haon he ends up winning the belt in this fight so he does graduate he is talented he is skilled but is he eight- one probably not I think you can definitely safely scrub off two wins off of his record based off of that level of

Opposition but that’s not taking away anything that he’s been able to accomplish as of late the uh fight against Dylan hen that was very impressive to me and the thing about this is he didn’t uh spam takedowns in this fight against hon he showed patience he showed gr he

Showed that he is somebody that isn’t going to panic shoot like he will set things up but he’s also comfortable in the feet we saw him pressure his opponent like look at look at who he’s knocking out on the regional scene like you’re talking about highlevel Regional

Fighters that he has been able to put away with his hands um and I think that’s really important the Taylor lapale fight the good about this fight is he had 6 minutes and 26 seconds of control time the bad thing about this fight is he was outstruck in every round and he

Was very predictable he didn’t really set anything up with his he didn’t set up any of his takedowns um how he should have and I think that’s a good reason why he was only two for 11 for takedowns not the worst result I feel for kayin

Lochran like he did take that fight on short notice um so that is a important thing to consider and then also take into account like Taylor lapley you’re talking about a guy with like two and a half times the experience as kayin lockran and they were fighting

In France and you know so that’s a tough fight for him to have to take but guys I fully expect kin lochran to win this fight I think there’s a distinct wrestling and grappling Advantage here and I will I also think he has the right striking tools to match Angel Pacho off

Of the feet if it goes that way minus 300 that seems a little borderline to me but I’m going to go ahead I’m Gonna Roll the Dice and I will go on lockran to get this one done we move on to the featherweight division where Conor Matthews will be going up against Dennis

Bazuka Matthews 7- one bazooka 11-4 Matthews is the plus 110 betting Underdog and Dennis bazooka minus 125 all right guys let’s keep it on Dennis bazooka in his most recent fight he ends up getting clipped by Jamal emers this fight doesn’t last a minute and prior to

That he fought Shawn Woodson now he missed weight in this fight but it was a short notice and it was up against Shawn Woodson so not exactly the most surprising outcome that he would fall short in this one I was amazed that he was only a plus 145 betting Underdog in

That fight against Shawn Woodson I bet heavily on Shawn Woodson as a result of that and bazooka just gets outstruck badly in this fight and by my math it was roughly like a 4:1 ratio a decisive 3027 all day long pretty easy to score but you I’m not going to uh bust his

Chops fighting somebody like Shawn Woodson in your UFC debut that is a tall tall order and in fact I would go as far as to say like Shawn Woodson I bet on this guy almost every chance I get a lot of people don’t respect Sha Woodson I don’t really know

Why I don’t know if it’s because he’s not the flashiest guy or he doesn’t get a lot of Knockouts or whatever but I have had a ton of success on betting Sean Woodson in the past and I bet heavily on him when I figured when I

When I knew that danis bazuka was going to be going up against him on short notice I L that look for Woodson and it definitely ended up paying off Conor Matthews this is a guy that the promotion really likes he is a taekwon do guy he’s a black belt in Taekwondo he

Loves body kicks he likes kicks in general that’s a huge part of his game and that’s something to think about but he ends up winning most of his fights by submission and that’s kind of the funny thing about Conor Matthews you don’t really associate somebody with his

Striking background to be much of a submission threat but it’s actually that’s actually the case and my theory for that is guys don’t want to stand and strike with Connor so they test him in the grappling they want to they’re eager to get this fight down to the ground and

Connor pulls out his um Jiu-Jitsu so that’s kind of like a hidden thing about Conor Matthews is actually he’s a competent ground fighter not much of a wrestler I wouldn’t say I don’t know if I would call Conor Matthews like a huge takedown threat but I will say this his

Wrestling and grappling are much improved since this fight against Francis Marshall uh there are a few things that I know about Conor Matthews that I’m not going to say in here but I can tell you that you might be surprised to learn some of the people that he’s

Been training with to brush up on those areas of his game bazooka is not stupid try to emulate this Francis Marshall fight I expect him to want to try to take Matthews down to the ground and spend the bulk of this fight there but I look at this Dennis bazuka minus 125

Based off of the results why why is he the betting favorite like name three reasons why you think Dennis bazooka based off of the entire body of work would warrant being a betting favorite in this case this is a classic dog or pass right like 100% a textbook

Dog or pass Dennis bazooka two fights good now yes you lose to Shan Woodson not the biggest deal you get flatlined against Jamal emers okay so we can be a little forgiving I can understand it to a to an extent but minus 125 based off of the track record I think that’s just

Simply way too high I uh actually like Conor Matthews on the feet over Dennis bazooka and then we’ll see what ends up happening if this fight ends up on the ground but guys for me Conor Matthews at plus 110 Plus 115 I like that uh I like that this was

This to me was going to be a 100% dogger pass sort of situation despite Matthews being a plus 115 Underdog most people on tapology like him to get this one done by decision and that is an outcome that I agree with I think Conor Matthews is going to outpoint Bazooka over the

Course of this fight but I like Conor Matthews for this one and at plus 110 plus 115 right in that ballpark I’m comfortable making that bet we move on to the middleweight division where Andre Petroski will be going up against Australia’s Jacob malcon this is a middleweight contest Andre Petroski the

Plus 180 betting Underdog and the Australian is the minus 225 betting favorite Petroski got absolutely annihilated by Michelle paja not that long ago with a cross lands right on the chin and Andre Petroski completely crumples shells up and there you go that’s basically this that’s basically the recap for what happened in that

Fight definitely not a lot to talk about Gerald mirar fight you can make an argument that gm3 did enough to win this fight 2928 Petroski I thought was the right call even though I bet on gm3 I think it’s important to maintain that objectivity despite on how you may have

Gambled the card it was a close fight but I did think that Andre Petroski was the right guy for that one Jacob malcon this will be his first fight since he fought Cody Brundage back uh six months ago he was the minus 550 betting favor in that fight and he

Basically used his forearm and smash Cody Brundage in the back of his head and he ended up getting disqualified as a result of that Mark Smith was warning him about where he was hitting Brundage he had back control and you know he’s laying down the ground and pound on

Brundage and some of his some of his strikes even before that were a little close so he was warned and you know I don’t know what compelled him to just think he could uh throw a forearm at the uh a cital lobe of Cody Brundage but he

Went ahead and did that uh a bad move and he rightfully ended up getting disqualified prior to he fights Nick Nick maximov remember him uh he is somebody that fought uh with the Diaz brothers or trained under the Diaz brothers I should say and we and he’s

Since wased out of the promotion we haven’t even seen him since but in any event he was a plus 120 betting Underdog in that fight and maximov just completely was outmatched he was dominated in every facet and at the end of the first round go back and

Watch that fight and you can see maximov just wide-eyed on the stool not sure if he really wants to go back out there in that second round and it was like a wide-eyed moment for him and he just got mauled by malcon for five minutes and it’s like man I don’t

Know if I want to go back out there and he and to me he just looked every bit of a guy that was Too Young Too Soon and not ready to fight at this level and over the course of that next 10 minutes he landed 15 strikes on Jacob

Malcon so I’m looking at this and minus 225 for malcun that to me seems way too high uh I know Jacob malcon is like a boring fighter who wants to basically russle grapple get fights down to the ground and then go for the submission like he’s going to have no interest

Whatsoever in standing and striking with Andre P Petroski but here’s the thing I find it hard to believe that somebody with Petros skill set is going to just get completely out outclassed in the grappling Department look look at his record like he’s an active Grappler and he does pretty well

Like he has a wrestling background on his uh in his own right and he’s the better striker in my opinion and I look at this and it’s like okay well if you’re G to give me Andre Petroski at plus 180 I will absolutely do that now I

Don’t know if he’s going to be able to knock out Jacob malcun has Jacob malun ever gotten knocked out before okay he has one time that’s not the norm he’s never been submitted before guys I’m going to go with Petroski by decision here I’m going to go ahead I will definitely take Petroski

At plus 180 I think there’s a ton of value there actually all right guys we move on to the strawweight division where Verna gendia will be going up against lupy godinez gendia 19-3 she’s the plus 165 betting Underdog and then she goes up against lupy godines 12-3 godinas one of the more active

Fighters as of late last year she fought four times four victories it was a very impressive year for her all things considered she gets a bizarre Split Decision victory over Tabitha RI in no way shape or form did uh RI do anything that would warrant getting the

Getting the 3027 call that she did by Brian Miner that was just completely bizarre to me and a lot of people talked about that like what the hell in the fight prior to that she showed her submission uh chops she ends up choking out elast re this was a fight that

Really didn’t surprise me too much I had a feeling that uh she was going to figure out a way to uh finish Elise Reed and she ends up getting the job done there em a win over Emily deot and then a split decision over Cynthia Calo so all things considered for godinas

Looking every much the role of a serious contender in the strawweight division she’ll be going up against Brazil’s verer jobia now this is a contender that we really don’t see a whole heck of a lot of these days but despite her inactivity she is still delivering she fights once or twice a

Year tops but she’s going out there and she’s getting the results she fight fights Marina Rodriguez not that long ago now Rodriguez 66% takedown defense but over the course of this fight we saw jindia really take her down to the ground and have her way with her it was a boring

Fight to watch but it was a smart game plan for jobia and you can expect that to be her game plan against somebody like lupy godines Godin a very confident a very d a very dangerous Striker off the feet this fight to me really comes down

To how do you feel about lupy godin’s uh takedown defense and for me I’ve been going back and forth on this one lupy godz minus 200 jobia plus 165 and and this is a fight where it’s like man if gendia can get this fight down to the ground I like her chances there

But guys I’m going to go with lupy godz in this one I’m not going to get cute I’m not going to take gendia it is a little bit tempting but I do find it very very difficult to believe that she is going to outclass godinas in the

Grappling and the wrestling lupy godz to me is just way too good um she’s not going to get fooled she is not going to let gendia do dominate her in the grappling and wrestling like how she did Marina Rodriguez I don’t see that one happening it’s minus 200 that is a

Little bit borderline to me I don’t know if I would endorse a bet that’s really beyond that at this point but at the time of this recording uh I can get her at around minus 200 so I will go ahead I’ll pull the trigger on that one I

Think there’s going to be a huge striking differential between the two I think that even though she has the uh even though she’s the shorter fighter even though she has a bit of a reach issue um I I do think that there’s a significant striking differential there

That warrants why she would be the minus 200 betting favorite look for jind droia to try to replicate what she did against Rodriguez but I don’t think it’s gonna work this time I’m gonna take HRI I’m going to take lupy godz in this fight

And I say she gets it done by decision I do think it will go the distance jobia might end up picking up around but look for godinas to make the adjustments she’s surging and she’s the hot hand right now I’m going to ride the hot hand

To uh get me a win in this fight so I will go ahead I will pull the trigger on godas to get this one done at minus 200 moving on up the card we have a fight at featherweight where Bill alio will be going up against Canada’s Kyle Nelson he

Fought Alexander Hernandez in his most recent fight he was the plus 100 betting Underdog I think of Alexander Hernandez I think about somebody uh that can wrestle that can grapple and we just really didn’t see that over the course of that fight prior to that Alo gets a

Submission victory over TJ Brown he was a minus 200 betting favor in this one it was a competitive first round that I personally scored for Brown he outstruck Alo he busted him open and then in the beginning of the second it looks like brown is continuing to ride that wave he

Looks good at the early parts of that round but Alo counters him beautifully sits down TJ Brown they start grappling and then Bill alio ends up uh getting a rear naked choke Victory off of brown now he’ll be going up against Kyle Nelson now Kyle Nelson was a bit of a

Meme fighter at one point his career definitely did not start off the way I think he had hoped look at the results here he gets a win over Polo Reyes and he drops fights against um Diego FAA Matt Sals who is no longer in the promotion Billy Quello Billy quarantillo

And then ji Herbert he draws dooo choice so you have to know going into that UFC 290 289 fight the idea was to get Blake Builder win and who better to uh pull off of the featherweight scrap Heap than Kyle Nelson the uh Builder fight though did

Not go according to plan Nelson plus 230 dog and he ends up absolutely outclassing Builder over the course of the three rounds I had the scored 2928 for Nelson but you can make an argument that he 3027 Blake Builder the Mexican card in Las Vegas and kind of the same

Deal they brought him in to job for Fernando Padia to make the Mex fans happy and that didn’t happen plus 205 betting Underdog close fight unanimous decision the judges had this one 2928 2928 and then Sal damato turns in a 3027 card there were a few people that

Thought Padilla won this fight I bet on Kyle Nelson for that one because I looked at it and I was just like H Nelson at plus 205 against the relatively unknown unproven Prospect in Fernando P Padia H I’ll throw a few bucks on this one and I ended up getting

A little lucky on that one I think but we have to make a decision Bill alio versus Kyle Nelson bill alio at minus 190 guys I think that’s the right play here um I like Bill alio in this fight I think that his uh striking is Miles

Better than Kyle Nelson I like the fact that bill is from Philadelphia and this is basically going to be a home game for him for me guys it comes down to how do I think bill alio is going to win there’s an obvious striking Advantage

There I think Bill alio is just the more Superior fighter I think he can grapple too fairly well if you make him uh I don’t know if he puts away uh Kyle Nelson though over the course of this fight um but I do think alio at minus

190 is still a little bit of a bargain I expected the odds to be way worse than that I was expecting Bill alio to be like minus 300 or something crazy like that but he’s not we can still get him at minus 190 and I think guys that’s the

Right play here all right guys we move on to the middleweight division where Nur slot ruie boev will be going up against sedus Dumas in a middleweight contest ruie boev minus 275 betting favorite and then the comeback on Cedric Dumas plus 220 in his most recent fight ruie boev fought

Bruno FAA he was a plus 180 Underdog and he completely annihilated Bruno FAA cartoonishly knocking him out despite having a nasty ass staff infection on his leg that ruptured when he got leg kicked in this fight 30 years old 65 so he’s freaking huge and look at all the

Look at this record 338 and2 I mean that is a crapload of fights for somebody who’s only 30 years old and he trains out of Marquez MMA in Philadelphia okay 20 wins by submission 11 by knockout lot to like when it comes to gambling it’s it pays

Dividend to be a skeptic look at who he’s fighting a 12 and 12 guy you beat a 13 and4 guy okay a 15-2 guy okay but you Kamura a 20 and 10 guy you beat up on a four- four guy a 10 and eight guy a 20 and 25 guy

Do you see what I’m saying guys like he is styled on some jobbers is what I’m getting at his level of competition I question the accuracy of this record this is the type of guy like you have guys that fight overseas in Kazakhstan Tajikistan wherever and then come Fight

Night you go back to tapology and then like right before these guys are getting ready to fight additional information comes down and then like three or four or five fights end up dropping off for whatever reason because the record keeping isn’t accurate and that’s a

Concern I have with this guy like is he as advertised is he as good as what everyone thinks he is and I still don’t I have questions about this guy I really do um and at minus 2 275 there is just no way in hell I’m betting on this guy

So we’ll see we’ll see if he is as advertised but everyone’s going to fall in love with this guy and I’m not trying to take away anything against what he did against Bruno FAA um it was an impressive knockout and FAA was an undefeated Contender that’s all fine and

Well cedus Dumas a bit of a knucklehead he is he is talented though um and there are a lot of people that look at this guy they don’t like him they get those Greg Hardy Vibes and hey I completely understand we’re not going to talk uh a

Little bit about that but it’s worth mentioning he did get in trouble with the law again um most recently because of a alleged domestic dispute now how that affected his training how that’s if that’s going to play a role if any into this fight that remains to be seen 9 in1

Record plus 220 Underdog he fights Abu aitar not that long ago and then prior to that he fought Cody Brundage because here’s the thing about cedria tumas you don’t have to like this guy but you have to respect him like he says some pretty cringe things like look at uh his

Interactions that him and Josh F had not that long ago like Josh FM choked him out won this fight pretty decisively and Cedric Dumas is like completely roasting him and talking [ __ ] the entire time after getting choked out by Josh F and Josh F was like nice about

It like yeah I choked you out but if you want to come train with me that’s fine like Josh F had every reason to like talk mad H mad [ __ ] on cedus Dumas and he didn’t and uh so sedus is kind of cringe um but when but when it comes to

Like his actual fighting prowess and his abilities as a mixed martial artist like don’t let your personal feelings for him get in the way of what you see in the cage and I’m going to try to connect the dots for you guys Josh FR wrestler Factory ex MMA gets a win off of

Dumas he follows that up inter Cody Brundage Cody Brundage wrestler where is he train out of Factory x so Factory x they have the game plan they know how to beat this guy they’ve seen him before and Dumas is going to go up against two guys that are somewhat

Similar to one another from the same gym and I looked at that and I was and I thought to myself like okay well this is going to be an interesting fight because Factory x just beat Dumas how’s he going to show up and this is a fight that he was a

Plus 145 betting Underdog going into and I understand why when you take into account that Dynamic you can understand why he would be a a dog runid shoots on Dumas and there’s a scramble that ensues and Brundage goes for a guillotine right away Dumas slips the guillotine ends up

Controlling Brundage for the rest of the first round clearly gets round number one in the bag in the second round Cody Brundage shows up shoots a naked takedown on Dumas gets stuffed easily and for the rest of the second Dumas just completely outg grapples him and it’s more the same in the

Third Cody brunden shoots on Dumas Dumas easily stuffs it um when they do end up grappling Dumas has the upper hand over the course of the entire fight he’s defending submissions he’s reversing positions he’s scrambling he’s ending up on top like sedus Dumas is a competent

Grappler and if you don’t believe me if you don’t think this guy can grapple go and watch this fight for yourself go and watch him fight Cody Brundage and you might be surprised is all I’m trying to say because like I do feel like guys like Cedric tumas like

Because of the legal stuff because he may not be the most likable guy like it causes us to stereotype him it maybe causes us to diminish him and underestimate him and I’m not going to do that and sadus Dumas he he is the for sure correct

Underdog Plus 220 he has like that’s the right line for this one like this ruse boev guy he’s been impressive that’s great that you knocked out a 10 and0 guy and you styled on him but I have questions about your resume and I don’t know if your record is what

It would portray you to be and uh guys I’m gonna take a flyer on SD Dumas in this fight I going to bet on sedric tumas at plus 220 uh I’m I’m okay taking I’m gaming I know I am but I’m okay taking a gamble on sadri tumas nobody

Thinks he’s going to win everyone thinks he is going to get absolutely steamrolled by Rus boev based off of this betting line but we’ll see we will see because Cedric tumas he’s never been finished nobody’s ever finished him by knockout Josh friend was the only one

That choked him out and we’ll see if that ends up being the case it would seem to me that that’s going to be the game plan to try to Grapple with sedus Dumas but I think people are underestimating this guy’s grappling abilities I think sidri Dumas can grapple

And I his as far as his legal situation this guy’s been in and out of jail like most of his adult life I don’t think it I don’t think he gives two shits about it quite honestly and I’m not trying to make a statement here I’m not trying to

You know I’m not even going to get into that but I’m just going to say like this guy’s had run-ins in his uh throughout his adult life and and it really hasn’t affected him up to this point we’ll see uh you know how that uh plays out when

He’s going up against the uh top middleweight contenders in the UFC but he’s going up against an unproven guy in Rus boev that I don’t think he is as uh and I think it remains to be seen if he is what his record portrays him as we’ll

See but Cedric Dumas at plus2 20 guys I’m going to take the chance here uh I’m all over this one I looked at this and I thought to myself like oh yeah I I think cedri Dumas is the more proven commodity I hope he’s a big Underdog in this one

And uh sure enough he he definitely is I think there’s a ton of value here and uh that’s what I’ll be doing in this fight we move on to the welterweight division where chy no kuani will be going up against ree mcke Yes you heard that correctly the welterweight division you

Can kind of understand why he would uh make a move of this of this nature uh three on a three-fight skid he gets knocked out by mial ol juk in his most recent fight prior to that a loss against Albert durv and then also a loss against Gregory Rodriguez now finishes

Against getting finish by Rodriguez and Alla juk not the biggest surprise to me those guys come to bang that is really what they are all about you uh drop fights against those two guys not the worst loss to take DV I think DV is a little bit

Underrated so um taking that skid into context um I don’t think it’s as bad as what it looks like um but nonetheless he’s going down to the welterweight division to see if he can have better luck there and he’ll be going up against ree mcke the former cage Warriors

Welterweight champion who is the plus 185 Underdog in this fight re mck I look at him and I see flashes of a talented Fighter the cons the thing that concerns me about him is his physicality or lack thereof it just seems that he gets bullied and outmuscled and outp powerered in every

Single one of his fights and it’s great that you’re you know and it’s great that you um go back to Regionals and you do well this knockout win against Justin B burlinson I mean Justin burson’s a a decent Fighter um so that’s a good win for him uh Jimmy wallhead he’s

Definitely a guy that’s ped his Prime and then anoa just completely Uncorked on uh ree mcke guys this is one of those things where I will be staying away from this fight uh I don’t know if I can do Chey no kuani at minus 225 this is a new

Weight class keep in mind we don’t really know what he’s going to look like I do think Chey can be a little chinny um but ree mcke I just don’t know if he is a UFC level Fighter um Chey wins this one by decision I think he’s just the

Stronger fighter I think he’s going to bully ree mcke I think ree mcke can get bullied I don’t know if ree mcke is a UFC caliber Fighter um I I like ree mcke but this guy’s just burned me way too many times I bet him against Alex morono

I bet him against anoa as an underdog it hasn’t worked out for me uh Che is going into this fight the minus 225 betting favorite I think that’s a high risk because I just don’t know what he looks like and again I have concerns about his chin I am staying away from

This fight but for betting purposes I’ll say Chey gets this one done by decision all right guys we just talked about a fight you shouldn’t bet on in the welterweight division well I’m going to follow that up with another fight you should not bet on in the middleweight

Division where Bruno Silva will be going up against Chris Weidman Bruno Silva minus 275 and then Chris widman plus 210 don’t bet on this fight guys like I’m telling you like Bruno Silva is a scrub don’t bet on him atus 275 you’re crazy Chris Weidman plus 210 you really want

To bet on a guy with like two broken legs um that is on the way out like Chris Weidman is not the same Chris Weidman like guys I’m gonna I’m gonna do you a solid right I will bet on this fight so you guys don’t have to and I’m

Gonna put up my betting slip right here $1 that is what I’m betting on this fight $1 because gambling is like is like bubble wrap to some of you some of you guys can’t help yourselves and I get it I get it and I kid guys I’m I’m kidding

I’m kidding but look like I’m betting on this fight so you don’t have to look at that slip right there and that tells you how you should treat this fight put1 on it if you really want to bet on this fight put a put a dollar on

It because I have no idea what’s going to happen Bruno Silva is a scrub like this guy is not a good fighter don’t bet on bad Fighters don’t bet on bad Fighters why would you and at minus 275 I think you’re absolutely crazy Chris Weidman like Chris Weidman has no legs

He’s Lieutenant Dan and why would you bet him at plus 210 he’s a legend but he’s not the same guy like former middleweight champion you want to send your former Champion off on a high note but he should not be fighting and we all know that guys I’m not going to get into

The weeds I’m not going to go into the film I’m not going to do any of that here’s the thing here’s the thing I can’t believe I’m gonna say this um I think Chris Weidman wins this fight don’t bet on it though but I do think Chris weyman wins the fight think about

The whole context of what I just said and I wanted to prove a point I wanted to look at one thing if you’re Chris wman what’s the one thing that you’re most terrified of Say it With Me 3 2 one getting leg kicked Bruno Silva look at the stats and

You’ll see that that’s not a big part of his game plan now it’s not to say that he’s not going to try to spam leg kicks based off of you know Chris Weidman not having legs he if he’s smart that’s going to be part of his plan because we saw Chris

Weyman’s complete inability to check one freaking kick against Brad dvar like you thought Anthony Smith couldn’t check a kick holy [ __ ] watch that fight against Brad Taris Brad Taris hits him like 40 some odd times with leg kicks it was terrible and um he ends up breaking his

Uh lead leg so Chris weidman’s a southpaw and his right leg was broken um in that fight the lead leg so his left leg is in the back and that’s the one that turned into a wind sock and when I look at this I think I I can’t help but think

Like the UFC knows that they’re like okay well like this silver guy is not that great lost four out of his last five and leg kicks aren’t a big part of his game plan so that’s guys that’s the best I have this is not this is not a uh fight

Breakdown that’s going to give me an Oscar I know that but don’t bet on this fight don’t bet on this fight prediction purposes I’m saying Chris Weidman because that’s the plan that’s what they want it’s in Atlantic City um if Chris Weidman could get this fight down to the

Ground and choke out Bruno Silva that’s his best Pathway to Victory um so sure I will go with Chris Weidman by submission I say he chokes out Silva in the second round all right guys we are moving on to the co-main event where vente luk will be going up against waen

Buckley now I have to imag imagine that Kil Cliff FC there is a wanted poster of waim Buckley on in that gym at somewhere because waim Buckley has had a lot of success against kilku guys as of late he has wins over Andre filio and he has a win over impa

Kangai and uh neither of these guys are with the promotion anymore Kliff does not like that now they do have one win over Buckley but it happened way back in 2018 when Logan storle fought him in Bellator so they have an opportunity to finally get a win

Over a guy that they have not been able to beat for a number of years so you have to imagine that the team at Kil Cliff the coaches bente luk everybody like they have the game plan they know what they want to do they know who Lin Buckley is they’ve

Seen this guy on three different occasions now so we’ll see how this one ends up playing out but um let’s talk about some recent fights um for Wen Buckley he fought Alex morono he was a minus 170 betting favorite in this fight and this was a one-sided Beatdown that uh Buckley

Cruised to I was very impressed with him I actually bet on Alex morono for this fight and uh yeah I couldn’t have been way I couldn’t have been more wrong uh this was a complete masterclass performance by waim Buckley a job well done for him he just absolutely beat the

Hell out of Alex morono in this fight Andre filio um filio had some moments in this fight particularly in the early parts of the second round but then um he ends up getting he ends up getting head kicked and uh taken out you kind of feel

For Andre filio a little bit because he he he didn’t um he saw the kick coming and he tried to catch it but um nonetheless the the kick connected and he is sprawled out like a big X on the canvas and he’s completely out and you cannot fault uh the referee for stepping

In and um and stopping that fight so as of late uh we have seen a Resurgence from wae Buckley loses to nardini MAV you lose to Chris Curtis but uh you’re able to uh kind of make up for that by virtue of the two most recent fights

Vente Luke he was a plus 105 betting Underdog against Rafael Doos now this is a closer fight from what I remembered I actually had go back I had to rewatch this one and um across all five rounds I had this one scored 4847 for luk on the second watch because

My memory was like oh yeah uh luk dominated that fight but actually he didn’t it was actually quite close I thought 40 48 47 was the right call um you had Ron McCarthy turn in a bizarre 4946 for luk uh that was certainly suspect but you know that is Ron

McCarthy he is suspect so like I said anytime uh that guy scores a fight expect the unexpected but in any event luk gets that one done and then prior to that he gets knocked out against Jeff Neil and then he drops a decision against balal Muhammad so an opportunity

For luk to start 2024 off on a good note we saw um bouts against Ian Gary fall off a bout against Shawn Brady fall off so it has been a bit since we’ve seen Vicente Luke in action um again this is one that I’m not going to think too much

On uh vente luk minus 150 and then wae Buckley plus 125 I think Buckley is way too low uh I think if you like wae Buckley he should be in the plus 200 range at a bare minimum I think there’s a ton of value on Vicente luk for this

One minus 150 uh I am all over that I like vente luk in this fight I don’t know if he’s going to be able to put away waim Buckley and that’s kind of where been thinking most of like okay do I like vente luk by finish or do I like

This one to go the distance and I’m going to go the ladder guys I do think this one is going to uh go to decision I know vente luk doesn’t typically go to decision I know we think of him we think of finishes but um it’s been a little

Bit of time since he’s been in the um been in the cage so I’m just going to say this one goes the full 15 minutes all right guys we are on the main event where Aaron blanchfield will be going up against man on furo in the main event um

Now I just read on junkie that uh Thug Rose is picking Aaron blanchfield to win this fight I thought that was kind of interesting uh despite her dropping her last fight against Fiero I kind of expected Thug Rose to say like yeah Fiero is definitely gonna win but no she

Didn’t she actually uh was very complimentary of Aaron blanchfield uh so I thought that was kind of like an interesting tidbit there uh Aaron blanchfield a young hot shot Prospect and she goes up against the relative newcomer to the UFC which is man on FOH

FOH has only been in the UFC since 2021 there’s a 10 age there’s a 10year age difference between blanchfield and Fiero despite the age difference Aaron blanchfield has more MMA experience uh than Fiero which is kind of a fun fact I wanted to um look at that Talia Santos

Fight briefly and blanefield was the minus 150 betting favorite in that fight and it was a very rough start to the first round for her she definitely took some damage she got a little busted up she got an abrasion on her nose in the uh second round we saw a turning point

Talia ends up making a mistake in the clinch it ends up costing her position we saw Aaron blanchfield get a taked down and uh get control over Santos in the second and uh going into the Third thir I had a one-1 fight but um we saw

Blanchfield end up turning it on and U we saw Santos starting to fatigue as that fight ended up going down and guys uh I thought it was a pretty clear 29-28 for Aaron blanchfield against Talia Santos this was a fight that a lot of people thought she was going to get

Exposed or fraud checked that’s a word that is uh taken out of context in the MMA Community we um use that word uh somewhat recklessly but uh that didn’t end up happening and she ended up pulling through prior to that she fought Jessica andr she was a plus 115 betting

Underdog in that fight and this was one where I was like well we’re about to find out if this Aaron blanchfield chick is the real deal or not I remember thinking that and I remember betting on Jessica andrj in this fight because I had concerns I had definite concerns about her ability to

Get this fight down to the ground and there was a part of me that I was like manesa Andra is just going to freaking uncork on Aaron blanchfield and guess what I couldn’t have been more wrong uh in fact we saw um lanfield striking she kept it basy

Basic it wasn’t flashy but it was effective um we saw her footwork on display we saw her ability to Dart in and out of the pocket um we saw her apply pressure and then uh know when to back out and you saw Jessica andrj start to get

Frustrated over the course of that fight and you saw her charge at Aaron blanchfield and just like windmill attack her and she looked like a complete spaz and you saw Aaron blanchfield take advantage of those mes and we saw her get a body loock takedown over the

Course of that fight and her grappling um her grappling prowess was on display Jessica uh gets herself on the ground she panics gives Aaron blanchfield her back and Aaron blanchfield ends up choking her out man on furo has been going up against Strikers lately very different uh very different opponents as of late

Um obviously Thug Rose we think of somebody with karate Taekwondo somebody with the Striking and then uh Caitlyn chukan kind of the same deal there so she’s been going up against Strikers and both of these fights have been going uh they’ve turned into uh drawn out Point

Fights now on Fiero a good fighter she is very good um I like her quite a bit but in this fight guys uh I don’t actually I am going with uh Aaron blanchfield and I get a lot of crap for saying this like I am the skeptic like I

Am the guy that picks the veterans often right because I’m I’m I’m that guy that’s like man I don’t know if this person is uh all that they’re cracked up to be I picked Jack Hermanson right and I got a lot of crap for that I picked Dustin porier I got

Got even more crap for that um so like I am the guy that often times these young hot shots come through and I’m just like H I don’t know about that we’ll see but guys Aaron blanchfield to me is a future champion and um a lot of people don’t

See that I get uh I get picked on for having that opinion but I think she’s the real deal I think she’s better than man on Fiero I do I think her striking is a lot better than what people think it is I think her footwork is great and

She is an elite Grappler and if Manan F finds herself on the ground she will lose 100% Aaron blanchfield is very strong very technical and there is a huge difference in the grappling should the fight make it there and you’ll see that striking I don’t know how much

Better man on Fiero is uh than Aaron blanchfield I don’t know how much better man on F is in the Striking department and guys when I look at this one I can’t help but think like we’ve already seen this fight before it was against Talia Santos and we saw Aaron blanchfield give

Up the first round make the adjustments and then start fighting the fight on her terms here’s the thing about Aaron blanchfield is she may not get the takedowns in fact she didn’t take down tal Santos one time she tried 13 takedowns over the course of that fight

She didn’t hit on any of them but she was able to uh out clinch Talia Santos and control her there and she’s not going to give up on those takedowns she’s going to have like a fluffy Hernandez sort of game plan where if she whether she gets it or not

The pressure will be there the entire time the takedown attempts will be there the entire time she’s exhausting the fight against I think the pressure and that grappling threat is going to severely limit man onfo in there man on F is not going to be comfortable at all

I think she’s gonna have a hard time dealing with the pressure she’s not going up against somebody like rose she’s not going up against somebody like Caitlyn ch and this is a very different stylistic matchup for her and Aaron blanchfield I was able to get her at

Minus 140 earlier this week the lines of grown she’s now minus 155 but guys I think that is the right pick that is who I’ll be taking in the main event all right guys that’s going to go ahead that’ll do it for this episode as always if you disagree with

Me on any of these picks please drop them in the comments below tell me who you have in the matchups I all and will continue our conversation there thank you guys for tuning into this episode and I’ll catch you next week
