00:00Well, we got another really cool card, man.

00:02Like, they're coming at us fast and furious here.

00:04So, we go to Qatar, I guess whatever, however you want to pronounce it.

00:11I've always called it Qatar, but I actually think it is Qatar in real life, like in their world.

00:18Yeah, yeah, in their world, it's Qatar, but to us, it's Qatar.

00:21So, nevertheless, I was talking about that earlier, man.

00:24You got to become a linguistic expert now to cover MMA, Tom.

00:28It's insane.

00:28Yeah, all these freaking last names, but we got a very good card here.

00:33Let's start off.

00:33I know the main event isn't on your best bet list here for this, but, you know,

00:40Hooker's a massive underdog in this fight.

00:42Yeah, and it's hard to see a pathway to victory for, to be honest with you.

00:46Looks like to me, like Sir Kunian here, that Armin is parlay material.

00:55What do you think about this fight?

00:56Yeah, I, I, I couldn't put it on, on the best bets list, but I did, I did parlay him with

01:04Javante Williams last night to get 80 yards.

01:07So, I do have a plus one ticket.

01:08That's a random parlayer like that.

01:11Yeah, but I, I felt real good about it.

01:13I thought the Cowboys were probably going to roll, and Javante was going to, I thought

01:17he was going to get to 100.

01:18He got like 96 or whatever it was.

01:20But, so yeah, I mean, I, I do have a bet on Sirukian.

01:23I think he wins.

01:24Dan Hooker, love Dan Hooker, been a fan of him forever.

01:27I mean, I don't know how he couldn't be if you watched the guy fight.

01:30I think the pre-Dan Hooker who, you know, pre-Dustin Poirier fight would have a lot better

01:36shot in this fight.

01:37But I think over the years with that Poirier fight, the Paul Felder fight, five round wars,

01:43I feel like that took a little bit out of Dan Hooker.

01:46He's not exactly the same guy he used to be.

01:49He does have, he does have good takedown defense, but he has struggled with wrestlers in the

01:54past.

01:54So, I just think Sirukian is just, it's just a tough matchup.

01:58I think Sirukian's got the path to beat him.

02:00I think Hooker can make it interesting.

02:02And, you know, the spread bets may get interesting.

02:05But, yeah, I think, I think Sirukian's probably just a solid overall win here.
