00:00Doug, what are you looking at on the prelims?
00:03Well, I'm going to start with a dog.
00:05You know, you talked about dogs coming through.
00:08And I'm looking at Bruno Faheya against Edmund Shabazian.
00:12Faheya is a power puncher.
00:15I think, honestly, both guys have holes.
00:18Both guys' cardio is not very good.
00:20Both guys are dangerous strikers.
00:22Although Shabazian, we really haven't seen it since, you know,
00:26his first couple losses in the UFC where he gassed out pretty hard.
00:29It feels like he's kind of afraid to be that explosive guy in the first round.
00:34He's worried about gassing out.
00:36I think Faheya has the ability to make this an ugly fight.
00:40He's got the power.
00:42I just think both guys have holes.
00:44And Faheya is too big of an underdog here.
00:47So I'm taking the shot on that fight.
00:49I think he wins.
00:50I think if he wins, he probably wins by knockout.
00:53But I'm just going to bet the money line.
00:55You talked about Duho Choi fighting Pitbull.
00:58I think Duho Choi is one of the best bets on this card.
01:00I like him to win inside the distance at plus 110.
01:04I feel like he's a safe parlay piece.
01:06I just don't see what Pitbull does to him.
01:08The volume's not there.
01:11Duho Choi is just a much better fighter all around
01:14and just in a much better position in his career right now.
01:18What about him with Baranuski against Mennefield?
01:22Yeah, I think Iwo wins that one.
01:24I think he wins by KO as well.
01:26I mean, honestly, betting that fight,
01:29maybe you want to throw the fight ends in KO is a good way to go in a parlay.
01:34And the longer it goes, he could get in trouble
01:36if he doesn't finish it off early, right?
01:38That is a concern here.
01:40I better throw that out there for people.
01:42He's a first-round knockout specialist type guy, this dude.
01:46Yeah.
01:47But, you know, like you said, he's a berserker out there, man.
01:51He goes out there and, you know, his debut, he got hurt bad in the first minute.
01:57He got dropped to a knee a couple times, you know,
02:00looked like he was going to get knocked out.
02:02And then he just kept moving forward, kept throwing that volume,
02:05and landed a big knockout of his own.
02:07And that's kind of what he does.
02:09I mean, he's tough as nails.
02:10He puts a pace on guys.
02:12Mennefield is a guy that does have three-round experience,
02:15and, you know, we've seen him deeper in fights.
02:17But we also have seen him gas a little bit, too.
02:20I feel like, you know, based on what we've seen from the two,
02:23I would think Mennefield's path would be better late.
02:27But Iwu, man, he's just tough to get through.
02:30That first round, first, you know, round and a half is a problem.
02:33Look at the total, guys.
02:34Look at the total, Tom.
02:36Under one and a half is minus 330.
02:40That's insane.
02:41Exactly.
02:43If you want to roll the dice on over one and a half,
02:45it's plus 240, guys.
02:48And Mennefield is tough, and, you know,
02:50Mennefield's strategy is going to be to try to weather the early storm
02:53and get this kid and get the dude in the deeper waters.
02:57Yeah, but it is a tough storm to weather, man.
03:00He comes with that power, and he just doesn't stop.
03:03So, yeah, I mean, it's interesting.
03:05If it gets out of the first round, it gets interesting.
03:07You know, Mennefield might be a decent live bet.
03:09I think, you know, the fight ends in KO.
03:11You know, that's pretty juiced anyway.
03:13That's why I said maybe it just has, like, a parlay piece
03:16because I feel like that's the way it ends.
03:18But overall, I think Iwu gets it done
03:21and puts him away early in this fight.
03:25Anything else?
03:26We got about a minute left here.
03:28Well, I did throw together a little first-round KO parlay with Despain.
03:33And who did I have?
03:35Oh, Gondra.
03:36Gondra, he's fighting Ozzy Diaz.
03:39He's fully expected to win that fight in the first round.
03:42Despain, like you said, he's fighting Tuivasa on a seven-fight losing streak.
03:47Despain's got an insane reach.
03:49We know Tuivasa's not going to shoot for takedowns.
03:51I think both of those guys win the first round.
03:54First round KO parlay, plus 178, Despain and Gondra.
03:59That's a fun one.
04:00I like Jordain.
04:01I like Jordain by decision.
04:03I think Marlon Vera's very tough.
04:04I don't see Jordain finishing him.
04:06But Jordain's got the volume.
04:08He's going to out-volume him.
04:10And, you know, Vera's kind of another guy that kind of looks like he's on his way out.
04:15So I like Jordain, too.
04:16Parlay piece.
04:17And I like him by decision.
