00:00Another really, really cool fight on this card is Benoit Saint-Denis and Patty Pimblitt.
00:07And what Benoit is a minus 150 favorite right now.
00:10Patty Pimblitt plus 130, another two and a half here.
00:14Tom, what's your interest level in this fight?
00:17You excited to see how this one plays out?
00:19Oh, yeah.
00:20I mean, how can I not be?
00:22I mean, first of all, Patty Pimblitt, the guy is entertaining.
00:25Like, he's like a Conor McGregor-like.
00:28Like, he's entertaining outside the cage.
00:30He's a good trash talker.
00:32You know, he's been talking to you.
00:34He's earned my respect for being – he's earned my respect, at least, for being – yeah, he's gotten better
00:38as a fighter.
00:38I used to kind of think, like, dude, just shut up.
00:40You haven't done anything.
00:41But he is a tough dude.
00:43I can't take it away from him.
00:45Yeah, and you – honestly, you have to give him credit.
00:47Like, I talk to people and they act like Gaethje just beat the hell out of him in that fight.
00:51But he had a lot of good moments against Gaethje.
00:54He landed a lot of big shots.
00:55Gaethje, I poked him a couple times.
00:57There was a few fouls in that fight.
00:58And one of the eye pokes actually kind of cut his eye.
01:01So, it kind of made it look like a bad visual.
01:04And Gaethje hit him with some massive, massive shots.
01:08And, you know, he talks about it.
01:09Scousers don't get knocked out.
01:10And that was a fight where I thought he was going to get knocked out.
01:13And he hung in there and, you know, took those big shots.
01:17And we just saw what Gaethje is.
01:19Like, Gaethje is an absolute dog.
01:21So, you have to give Patty his flowers for that fight.
01:23I mean, it was a hell of a fight.
01:25He had moments in that fight.
01:27And he's a very, very good grappler.
01:30A very good jiu-jitsu guy.
01:32Benoit Saint-Denis, we know what he wants to do is grapple.
01:36And I've been a backer of Benoit for quite a while.
01:39I mean, I'm impressed with the guy.
01:41He's extremely good.
01:43But the one thing I have noticed in a few fights, you know, the Poirier fight, he had a staph
01:48infection.
01:48So, you kind of give him a little pass on that one.
01:50But he did gas out pretty hard there.
01:52He has kind of slowed down a little bit in fights where he really grapples heavy.
01:57And if he's going to grapple heavy against Patty, you know, Patty's going to be throwing up triangles.
02:02He's going to be throwing up sweeps.
02:04He's going to be doing all kinds of stuff.
02:05He's going to be scrambling.
02:07So, I think this is a really good fight, a fun fight.
02:10And right now, I don't have a bet on it or anything.
02:13But I have to lean Patty.
02:14I just think he's got the more well-rounded game.
02:17He's a very durable guy.
02:19And he's going to be in that fight the whole way through.
02:23I don't know how we don't look at over two and a half in this one as well, at least
02:26in my opinion.
02:28It's two and a half right now, plus money, too, to be over.
02:32So, you're getting plus 120, which means, you know, if you want to go in the one and a half
02:36at that minus money, that would be an option.
02:38But a lot of cool fights on this card.
02:42Gable Stevenson, a 21-to-1 favorite.
02:4521-to-1 favorite against Ellison.
02:50That's one of the biggest numbers.
02:52I don't know.
02:52Maybe it is the biggest number ever, actually.
02:55You know, Ronda Rousey.
02:57Yeah, Ronda Rousey was in the same range.
03:00Like, you know what I mean?
03:01A few times.
03:01She was in that minus 1,800, 20 to, like, against Holly Holm.
03:05Holm got no respect in that fight, even though she was a former boxing champ.
03:08But, yeah, minus 2,100.
03:12Bo Nickel came in with a massive number.
03:15I mean, this is one of those, like, I don't know, do you take Ellison for $100 and you get
03:20$1,200 back if it wins?
03:23Right?
03:23No, don't do it.
03:25Don't do it.
03:25Yeah, but what are the chances?
03:27Like, he's not going to lose, guys.
03:28Like, that's the whole thing.
03:29Like, it's not like, yeah, he could lose.
03:31It's like, nah, this is like Monday Night Raw stuff.
03:33He ain't losing.
03:35Yeah, this is the old-school squash match that you used to see in the old WWF.
03:40This is a Goldberg.
03:4156-0 streak.
03:43Exactly.
03:44And you know what?
03:44Speaking of Goldberg with his quick finishes, I would be looking at the under half a round.
03:50If you can get a 60-second, you know, a decent price on a 60-second win, I mean, there's
03:56a very good chance he comes out and lands a haymaker and ends this fight.
04:00It's not competitive at all.
04:02I think it's probably an over and under half a round.
04:05He's going to take him down.
04:06He's going to smash him.
04:07He's going to beat the living hell out of this guy.
04:10I feel bad.
04:11I feel bad for the guy, honestly.
04:13And I hope that he gets a ref that has a quick trigger.
04:17You know, don't let him take too much damage.
04:19Just get him out of there.
04:19Maybe Dana White will say something to Beck, like, hey, listen, this guy's getting beat up early.
04:24Just you can stop it at any point because it's probably going to be pretty ugly.
04:27You can stop it at any point because it's probably going to be pretty ugly.
