enough uh John legasa instant offense the microwave will join us as well to talk with his baseball picks today Paul car will talk soccer with us as well his uh thoughts on the Champions League final uh and a uh how can I put this Kelly you know yesterday I had a day to reflect it’s May 30th 2024 uh you know you know what I did yesterday by the way it’s a California back uh and so I had a lot of time to uh had a lot of time to reflect and uh one of the things I reflected upon was you sort of saying you know Gil for the content we need a June June MLB bet and I said after after the March April Cleveland Guardians gut punch and out way from cashing a 65 to1 and then after the Guardians and by the way again shout out to the Guardians you have given me two months of Awesomeness despite not cashing uh they come one game shy this this game today doesn’t mean anything to them because they’ll end up third or at least they’re in third right now it’s between by the way the Yankees and Phillies will update that later I said to myself self maybe you should look over June’s schedules in Major League Baseball and so um by the way here’s your most wins by the end of May update Yankees heading into tonight after their five run win over the uh Angels yesterday 8 to3 Yankees are 20 and S Phillies are 19 and seven and there’s our poor Guardians at 18 and N right after that ah poor out of 40 for the guards and I feel bad for jvt too right didn’t he had Phillies too Phillies and Guardians is he at a dead heat or is he at Circa I can’t remember I’m guessing Circa but I don’t yeah if he’s at Circa he’s out uh if he’s at a dead heat shop Phillies win Yankees lose Phillies and Yankees can tie yeah um Yankees are at San Francisco you know how giant Giants magic go Phillies hosting the Cardinals um so I looked over June schedules and you know at first they weren’t at Circa right they were only at at Caesar’s William Hill and I was like oh okay it’s only a one shop and it’s a dead heat I’m not sure how interested I am not that I wouldn’t be interested necessarily Dead Heat but sometimes I’m more interested in the circle rules um and then I was like oh well the Dodgers they clearly should be the short shot we’ll get into all of it later anyway I made a play Kelly and it’s coming up like it hour number two on the show why hour number two you ask because I’d like to even bet more this morning that’s why hour number two uh so we’ll get into all that we’ll go through the whole the whole handicapping process of that uh first the NBA last night the Dallas Mavericks are taking on the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals that will begin on Thursday at the TD Garden in Boston remember it’s a 22111 1985 through 2014 they switched the NBA champ the NBA Finals to a 232 because in those days 1985 it was so of in the Celtics and Lakers that David Stern the commissioner was like ah let’s reduce travel by this point Celtics Lakers Coast to Coast let’s go 232 well when Adam Silver took over 2014 he’s like yeah not so much 22111 because we get more randos and take for instance this one Dallas Boston that ain’t Coast to Coast so we have 22111 like the standard playoff series that exist pre NBA Finals um and last night case you missed it you didn’t miss much it was 18 to 18 Mavericks went on a 12 to nothing run to go up 30 to 18 at that point in the game already 30 to 18 Luca had 20 points on eight of 10 shooting four for five from behind the arc by the way that was part of what ended up a as a 17 to1 Run for the Mavs to conclude the first quarter they were up 35-19 16-point lead after the first quarter yeah it was uh it was Luca 20 Minnesota 19 at the end of the first that’s right second quarter more of the same second verse same as the first I believe someone once said Mavs led by as many as 23 early 46 to 23 they were doubling up the t-wolves they closed the half on an 11-2 run they were up 29 at the half 69 to 40 at that point Luka had 25 Kyrie 19 third quarter they led by as many as 36 82 to 46 uh led by 24 at the end of the quarter 9793 they went at 124 to 103 the Tim Timberwolves could never get it lower than 21 points I couldn’t by the time it got into the second half I mean you how many times have we talked about NBA games and you’re like all right there’s live betting opportunities like these is a it’s a game of runs like there’s going to be I was the first time in a while I’m not saying I bet it this way or anything first time a while like that by by halftime I was like this is over this this is over think didn’t I send you a text the competitive portion of tonight’s festivities is over like luuka was on one you watch that first quarter man like he hasn’t shot the ball like that in months just cuz he’s been dealing with the knee injury but him him leaning into shots fading away everything was going in I you could tell early it was going to be a long night by the time we got into that third quar it was it was dead silent in the Arena you could hear you could hear everything Luca’s yelling at people on the sidelines some fan was getting into it with him and you know classic Luca is yelling at everybody yelling at the Wolves bench yelling at a fan some fan had brought a handkerchief I believe is what uh is what got reported for his crying Lucas crying good little bit until he starts draining every shot in the building at you um and so there you have it Mavericks you going by the way uh you would like to say anything as we pour out a 40 not not a Cancun a one two3 Cancun thing but anything you want to say about the Timberwolves and closing um let’s all not overreact I guess I would say that and there’s going to be a lot of I mean I where were we a series ago with this team after they just beat the Denver Nuggets and now it feels like all this Fallout is is coming because of Carl Anthony towns and Rudy goar and all this stuff and this was still by far the best defensive team in the league next year let’s just let’s all take a breath and we can reapo things of the offseason will Hill said this he said imagine imagine tell the Timberwolves after they came back from 20 to beat the Nuggets in game seven hey you know 11 days from now you’re going to be out of here yeah what what do you mean we’re awesome not so I don’t know why it feels like this year even more than more so than others like the the instant reaction we want to have to everything right Anthony Edwards is Michael Jordan like you know they beat the Nuggets it’s yeah you know this morning it’s where does Luca donic fall in the greatest players of all time like he’s awesome but like can we let him win Championship first maybe how about what I brought up thank God we’re not going to have to readjudication the Kyrie trade’s going to look like one of the best trades ever well also the narrative is going to be all week how Kyrie left the Celtics that conflict oh that and porzingis you got the porzingis Kyrie absolutely and it should be should be so I I I’ve said this in different ways for the last couple weeks but once the Nuggets got boun um it was clear to me that I had no sense for these Western Conference playoffs if I mean there’s really no sense to have in the Eastern Conference it was that straightforward but I I feel that way now after this series as well um and so here we are now the Mavericks and the Celtics and dare I say I think I I feel like I am part of the crowd of people and by by crowd I mean every human being I’ve talked to with the exception of Drew Deni likes the Mavericks here that scares me a little bit because I do like the Mavericks at this price uh Steve fzk only back-to-back winner of the uh hilon super contest on the football side he sent he sent me this text this morning and I love this because you know with Stevie it’s always advice and then calling out people even if there’s nothing to be called out he says Gilly I bet Dallas uh two to one and plus 190 he gives himself a fine because he bet it before he said anything uh he said circus still has plus 185 this is Dallas in the NBA finals on the series price he says I strongly believe the market is going to back Dallas The Narrative is going to be that Boston is a paper tiger built for regular built for a regular season uh and injury three straight Series so if you’re going to back Dallas I would bet them now because I think this line is going down if you like Boston wait until post to get them I completely agree with that uh here’s the here’s the part that I love though he goes on to say he says also I don’t want to hear any blank about anyone getting two to1 or plus 195 that did because I was all over the openers and that was me that got it that got those in pocket right after the games and I want to see the tickets if they claim so there it is on brand couldn’t get was I asked him on ER go do what do you think you care more about winning money or calling other people Dumbo and he’s like Dumbo um oh that’s great that’s so great by the way you can parse this out of obviously more than just a series price um you can bet this game by game first of all over 5 and a half is atus 150 so slightly Juiced to the over in terms of 5 and a half games the unders at plus 125 Celtics sweep is 6 to1 a Maverick sweep is 19 to1 that of course is a long shot Celtics in seven is plus 350 Mavs in seven is 8 to one the shortest of all shots is not the Celtics in seven a tick shorter than that is the Celtics in five at plus 340 mhm yeah that is that is not going to happen I don’t I I don’t think so but we’ll we’ll see I I I actually think Drew on with us the other day was the perfect just just to sum up what the Celtics are where it’s for a lot of NBA betters they’ve just broken his brain right I mean like we asked him a fair what what is a price that a fair price for him on the NBA Finals with the Mavericks he’s like I mean minus 400 it should be for Celtics but he’s like they’ve broken my they’ve broken my numbers this uh this postseason he’s like I can’t get there so this postseason also last postseason that broke exactly um so I’m really interested see I mean this that porzingis has to be back it sounds like he will be but man I think with those types of injuries and those types of players I I’m kind of wait I’m waiting to see I would like to see him back before I think you really get excited about betting Boston otherwise until then you’re probably just looking at the Dallas sign I I don’t know how you could bet Boston without knowing 100% for sure porzingis is in there which I don’t really know we we can say that yet and what’s your Mavs ticket to win it all again what number 19 to1 I have 40 to1 the exact a you’re the exact us 40 I 41 of Dallas over Celtics in the in an exact let’s go Kelly bid I do agree with Steve’s point on the price I grabbed a little Celtics last night to hedge off a bit though coming back French Open update

fine you could use us like that we don’t care yeah one thing you like on there use it use us use us use us for that uh French open today uh we had a winner I I don’t even know what to do with myself Kelly that we had a final set tiebreaker win this morning I didn’t even know that was possible Olga danilovich uh took down Donna veic in a third set tiebreaker after she got Bagel in the first set by the way she likes here take a set and then she went ahead and she won the match oh nice on a third set tiebreaker but this on the heels this on the heels of yesterday I had Flavio kobal he’s Italian player Flavio koboi uh and he was playing hoger Vitus nadoff run and hogar run is one of these guys that when you’re betting against him you want to beat him so bad he’s just got this attitude about him and so kobal down two sets and we had him at plus 180 plus 178 to be exact again all of these plays from all hosts and all guests on the network in every sport at von.com slpi it is four subscribers only von.com slpi and I had coob he comes back he knots it up at two sets a piece and then they go to a fifth set tiebreaker which at the French Open is out is a first to 10 by two every slam has a different uh don’t no I think they’re all uniform now they all go to 10 in the decid they are yeah I think they’re all uniform now really okay yeah I think so now I’m getting confused um so the French Open anyway goes to fifth set tiebreaker at uh up to 10 by two and kobal goes up five love and the tiebreaker plus 178 dog you know what happens we lose yeah but of course I’m like clay despises me but of course but danilovich did come back this morning to make up for that although she was a favorite so it’s all a watch um yeah you’re right yeah it’s all it’s all uniform I know it’s it’s recent it’s in the last year or two yeah it used to be every T every slam did it differently someone would have a fif set tiebreaker to seven another would have a fifth sa tiebreaker to 10 Wimbledon famously back in the day went forever right yep the Isner match that that lasted three days yep it’s probably better it’s All Uniform now for the Casual fan but do you like it like was there one that you liked better than others I like it un just make it uniform okay cuz I kind of go back and forth on that with the PGA does the like if there’s a playoff they do like the three hole aggregate instead of just one hole playoff and there’s like part of that that I like but but it makes you have to ask the question every time they’re coming down 18 okay what’s the what’s the playoff format on this right exactly which I think for the Casual fans I’m very okay if they just went to a uniform system yeah the other uh we have two we have we had two more besides the winner this morning we had uh by the way yesterday was a terrible day but today we start off with the winner and now Clara talson who we have uh over Sophia Kennan she’s up a break in the first set so that’s going well early the only one we have left today is the only dog and that’s Ben Shelton took a uh took Ben Shelton on the menide Gators boo up against Felix o Alim want spell that again um I think me and was Florida right B oh he was Florida all right he was his dad was the coach there I believe oh yeah um college tennis is great by the way it’s awesome but Shelton thinks he’s still playing college uh college tennis sometimes on the pro tour like you know after he remember remember after he won a match he famously I can’t remember which tournament he like acted like he was he was hanging up a old rotary phone he’s like this and then jokovic beat him and jokovic goes like that uh sorry for the visuals if you’re not watching um so yeah he does a lot of that which is like kind of not what you know Old School tennis folks are used to anyway I I’m on I’m on Shelton to get through today hopefully we can have ourselves a sweep today um we’ll see we shall see as far as the French Open Futures that we have oh by the way EA plays a little later on she hasn’t started quite yet but EA in her first match since the epic battle against Naomi Osaka uh she is uh taking on Marie busov today it may start during this show I expect EA to roll do you ever okay that kind of answers that but in general do you ever worry about that was some what let’s say some some tennis players of lesser Talent like is there a kind of like we bring up in in other sports a let down spot or something like that like are you worried about that with some some players that come off a huge match like that I don’t I don’t think there is a let down I don’t think that term exists in tennis I think it’s a different thing I think it’s you’re so shot from what you just went through that the emotion of it that you can’t recover from it I don’t think it’s a like let down when we talk about a let down spot in other sports we’re talking about a the human flaw of just sort of letting your guard down I don’t think that’s it typically in tennis um but I I think that ego Saka match I think that fatek go Saka match will go a long way towards helping ego forward um not that she needed the help but that was an epic match uh so she’s got busov here later in the day uh as far as our futures we have EA and we have all of the men’s players are intact Casper Roode had a bit of a scare yesterday he had to go five sets against Alejandro davidovic Vina but he got through um one of our uh parlays and then Jan Leonard stru yeah uh still rolling so far in queue number two we have him at 14 to1 to win the uh four to win the second quarter but his next match is against Alex deor and I still i’ love to I haven’t seen the price on that but uh young Gilly may have a bet on Stu that match alone he also he also made the uh he’s at least made it to the first page of the Futures uh board your boy lonard Stu yeah was he not on there before yeah you know he was a little bit further down but yeah he he cracked the top 10 now he cracked the top 10 For Me Oh you mean on the outright future so he’s 80 to one 80 to one but he cracked the top 10 yeah he ain’t going to win at all but um I’ll tell you who you know we’re looking at that Futures board one of those guys is gone you know who that is Andre Ruby is out rublev got beaten straight sets this morning by Matteo arnaldi so if you had Andre rublev who Andre rublev’s career is he’s a top 10 player that cannot crack the quarterfinal ceiling of any slam and he didn’t get to the quarterfinals here at all yeah so so uh remember remember how I told you yesterday or the day before that I I was all cut up on my uh bets to make to-do list oh yes I lied cuz there’s one I still haven’t made still haven’t bet jokovic so if you were landed on this and play the whole game you don’t have any bets is there is would you be alarz still in the men’s I I don’t feel any differently about the men’s side right now than I did before the tournament which is to say quite honestly that the only bets to make are are the long shots like on a stru but I like alarz jokovic Center Sasha ver Casper Roode I stop there I don’t go to tisab I thought odds movement was a little interesting on these like he jokovic kept getting longer and then yesterday got cut down to four to one yeah but like not to any significant degre no nothing yeah I just I I mean there’s just injuries you don’t know and these guys are you know alcaraz dropped a set to some dude the other day you’re like well you know jokovic didn’t look as sharp as he could in some of these so you just know there’s a little wobble in all these guys okay little wobble um but they’re all intact so far and uh this tournament will go through the end of next week you know rain the rain should be gone finally this is finally the day where the rain is over so they’re all caught up now so that’s where all that stands um you’re gonna make that joke of ITB I mean I’ve meant to for a week we’ll see it is we we we don’t talk about it as much anymore I feel like Gil hears me bringing up a lot off air but like I some of these with the grand slams I just don’t rush to make now would be the time I think you got probably got to get it in but the like you know for those top seated guys it’s so rare a a they don’t either they don’t lose in that first week and their odds barely move so I’m not rushing to bet these guys sometimes CU I don’t want to be killed by the biggest upset ever and I got a ticket on him already so yeah I I think I’m going to I’ve bet jovic at the French like five years in a row which what has he won like two of those or something two or three of those it’s been pretty good um my Twitter is overrun with uh MLB June people really like these monthly markets they’re cool it’s good that books keep doing them yeah sh shout out to C shout out to Caesars William Hill shout out to Circa for continuing to do them um always a fascinating market and really the correct meter of time for a baseball

the first one that jumps off the page to me is is Jim Harbaugh and you and I both think that sure Chargers can be good two three years from now there’s not a lot of Talent on this team first and foremost so how does he win this I mean they would have to win the division right I mean because it’s not like as much Steam and as hype as they’ve got since he took that jog I I don’t I don’t know I mean I look at the top five competitors right EA flu with the Bears harau with the Chargers with the Jets Ryan with the the Texans and laflor with the the Packers all five would have to win the division and the Texans would have to do so infatic right I I don’t think any of that happens the handle with Matt Brown and Mike Sage weekends at noon Eastern 9:00 a.m. Pacific on vison the sports

Morty he said some tennis to start the week at rol Longos and finished off in south of France watch out for Shao upset today versus Z cots how about that that’s a that’s a trip how about that did you go to Philip shat that’s what that’s what we want to know um I have a can we bring in Jason we Gard for this ladies and gentlemen courtesy of the progressive guest line it’s our buddy Jason wiard from under a cloud of smoke at spread appedia how you doing Jason good morning how’s it going guys going very well I would like to air my new Airlines and air travel pet peeve to the both of you I I believe I am going to cover new Airline air travel Pet Peeves in the next 30 seconds and that is this when you get a text from an airlines that says your flight is delayed let’s say it’s delayed an hour like I did yesterday like I already have today Kelly your flight is delayed an hour and then they come back with subsequent texts bringing that time back towards your original uh departure time so first you were Del delayed an hour then oh by the way you’re only delayed 33 minutes oh by the way now you’re only delayed 18 minutes and oh now by the way you’re only delayed 4 minutes they cannot do this you are killing the passenger because the passenger has in their mind the or her mind the flight is delayed now the passenger is not processing it’s basically on time and they’re late to where they have to go because you set them up for failure it happens all the time I’ve already ordered two more drinks and now I’m missing my flight it’s a problem yeah or some people are chilling at home before they go has this happened to you Jason many time I I I don’t leave the airport I don’t leave for the airport till the last minute so uh yeah I’ve been in this situation he doesn’t sound as uh upset about I do feel like I feel like it’s a newer thing I I I also don’t know what percentage of people actually would be outraged like me and you are I think well it’s not it’s not outrage it’s you’re going to make me miss a flight though it it’s I mean it’s outraged to that extent right eventually you’re gonna miss one because yesterday I was like oh wait I’m basically on time I’m late now so you know they got to stop doing that anyway Jason uh you uh texted me something yesterday Nelly Corda Nelly Corda who has dominated the LPGA Tour this year she went to the water three times she ends up carting a 10 over par yesterday um in the uh in the LPGA tournament and so you’re getting excited cuz You’ got Ro and then rang goes out and post it an eight over what had happened a nine over now I think it was eight over and now she’s one over for the day so she’s nine over now I think oh no maybe you’re right back she back to eight you’re right maybe it was nine and then went to eight either way um wow that’s a missed opportunity huh yeah uh the crazy thing is there’s a chance that one or both of them still make the cut today the uh the wind is picking up there it’s a it’s a proper golf test I guess you could you can call it uh yeah I think there’s one two three five players under par right now by the end of the day wouldn’t be surprised if that number drops to one or two or even zero um so there’s still a chance either one of them or both get inside the cut um but yeah this point in week does not look like rose is going to capitalize on Nelly’s early Misfortune and it’s going to cost me some money and you were correct it was nine over and then she’s one under for the day uh T 109 for roseen that was one of those where when Jason sent it to me I was like I forgot to better and then by the end of the day I was like that’s why I didn’t better yeah but I’m telling you they still I’m telling you they both might still make the cut there’s a lot of golf left lot of golf left lot of golf left what’ you bet in baseball today sir let’s see I bet I think I have two two bats I bet Baltimore minus 140 and I faded the uh oh the Giant you’re giants Skil oh that’s not allowed I’m sorry but I took I took the Yankees minus 127 did you catch any of the Yankees game last night I did I did not Yankees Yankees Angels I watched a little bit of it after the uh basketball was over and uh I was actually you know I haven’t got to watch the Yankees a ton this year but uh you know stto hits a home run and it’s just one of those moments where I just kind of thought again do you believe we just let the Yankees get Wan sto for like nothing it’s I’ll what’s going on I think about it every day because I’m on a I always talk about I’m on a text text thread with Will hill and Chris felica Chris who’s coming up on the show in a bit they are DieHard Yankees fans they talk how happy they are that that Yankees baseball is so great again because of Juan SoDo and I’m just thinking to myself I’m like you mean Washington Nationals Great Hall of Famer Juan stto like it just drives me crazy that this is how Yankees this is Yankees fans just this entitlement to these players right and and you’re right how did how did the world let them get him how yeah just let him let him have them and they’re they’re they’re looking great I I’m you know I was worried at the beginning of the season I guess my my concern over Aron judge’s toe has been slightly unfounded yeah me too me too me too yeah I’m just shaking my head if you could see me right now I’m like looks like I got that wrong but that looks like a good team I’m excited to to watch some more them on this West Coast Swing Juan sto is who he thought he was and like I said if if he stays healthy I don’t know how he’s not going to be the MVP I don’t care what anybody else does it’s just going to be Yankee Wan sto wins the MVP you know yeah I know I’m glad we had that that Jose Ramirez exchange the other day because it is a again me I’m I’m the captain of this in the last year great bets that finished second right on a lot of these and and yeah no matter how good Jose Ramirez is in um in Cleveland all things being equal they’re going to give it to the the Yankee bias and to WAN sto the other thing that that occurs to me about the sto thing is and we’ve said this about so many Acquisitions of the Yankees Through The Years New York’s not for everybody right they get they their their trajectory of their career sometimes changes like the big stage is not for them it doesn’t appear to be at all a thing for wot he’s like whatever New York oh yeah no I mean like you see it across town with the Mets they get a guy like maybe Francisco Lindor and it just isn’t isn’t working out is as great as it could be and then you see Juan stto and it’s just like he’s always been destined to be a Yankee almost it’s yeah yeah some guys you just they look better in Pinstripes anything else besides the Yankees against the Giants you mentioned one other there I do um well actually it’s somewhat Yankee related I’m I’m hesitant to uh to give it out because I’m I’m not done betting it yet but I have a I have a rookie I have a rookie of the year bet on uh on a Yankees player and it’s not Louis Gill I guess you can uh draw conclusions from that as as you’d like but I’ve been heavily betting it this week yeah well it shouldn’t be Louis H because again Lis Hill is just destined for regression if you uh immerse yourself in the fan graphs page um could he pull a Blake Snell and do it for the whole year I guess anything’s possible um but none of these pictures and we’ve seen it you’re you’re oh we got to go we’ll talk about it next week I’ll talk more about give us the headline of your thought though we tease it for next time the rookie pitchers don’t get enough endings to Wi Rook of the year there’s a lot of value on the Rookie of the Year Board we got to dive into it all

eyesee about it it’s a beautiful thing Jordan comes to his courtesy of the progressive guest Line Jordan Sherwood that is to talk UFC 302 good morning to you sir always a pleasure Gil and yes always a joy to talk West Palm Beach Florida with one Kelly bidin uh going old school off air not for on air content off a The Real Housewives of West Palm Beach these guys it’s phenomenal oh man Gil we had uh when were we talking about hard rock with crack was that this week or last week last week I think one of the first times I ever hung out with Jordan I I I was basic I was basically asked to show him a good time you know because he was new in town and we ended up at the Hard Rock way late one of the one of my favorite memories of Jordan Sherwood are you like this ain’t Palm Beach anymore Jordan by the way is the is the co-host of the unnamed MMA podcast you can follow him on Twitter at wood on ESPN 1000 before we talk UFC 302 uh I would be remiss if I uh just ignored what you’re wearing you are wearing a Chicago Bear top you are a Bears fan and the Bears are going to be featured on Hard Knocks how cuz I’ve always wondered like if if Washington ever got on this I think me and my buddies will just go crazy how do you guys feel about this as Bears f are you happy are you are you mixed in your feelings we we kind of knew that was this was coming uh the reports were that you know they were one of what four teams available for Hard Knocks they’ve got all the storylines of the offseason with Caleb William the additions uh the stadium discussion that’s going on with the team in the city so it’s about time basically Bears fans want the spotlight they like the attention and look it’s going to give them a little bit more of an inside look of Caleb Williams and how he’s uh maturing as a rookie so yeah we’re we’re absolutely excited uh as Bears fans that they’re going to be featured on Hard Knocks okay all right um what did I say after the Trap Caleb Williams certainly not lacking for confidence that I will say yes that is I am very interested to see what his personality is like on a more in-depth basis all right UFC 302 in Newark New Jersey um let us start with the main event the lightweight title bout between Islam makev and Dustin porier where makev is a $6 favorite porier plus 440 on the comeback uh for those who don’t know makev number one pound-for-pound Fighter um hadn’t hadn’t defended this tit hadn’t fought at this for this title against another lightweight though uh had fought twice defended twice already against a former featherweight Champion Alexander volkanovski uh he moved up to the 155 pound belt to do so and then you have porier we all know him former inner uh interim lightweight champ this is his third attempt for the 155 pound title uh he beat benois s Denise I know you know that Kelly benois Sand Denise Yeah by second round knockout at UFC 299 how are we betting this by the way Jordan just to like watch uh makach chev’s sort of interviews leading up to this he is not the most cuddly guy in the world let me just say that no I mean he’s he’s there to fight he he’s there to fight and be a dominating Champion uh and look I I I understand why the odds are in the place makev is as you alluded to Gil number one in the pound-for-pound rankings as a fighter and he can do it all he’s not just a Grappler uh he’s also evolved as a striker and you know he is khabib nuraga met up 2.0 he’s the Protege of khabib and khabib’s going to be in his Corner uh so there’s a lot of familiarity Nur mageda defeated Dustin porier a few years ago and and yes you are right this is mv’s technically first title defense against a lightweight but Dustin porier whether he hangs it up or not after this fight is a future Hall of Famer he’s a great boxer but he’s struggled with guys that to have a grappling attack and that is what Islam makev is going to feature you know in this fight and I’d love a storybook ending for Dustin pory to finally become the lightweight champion of the world but I don’t believe that that’s going to be the case but the dollar price point at makev is that’s you can’t lay that you can’t lay 650 on makev to win the fight or you know maybe even get creative so what I’m going to look at is actually what makev typically does in fights starts a little bit slow gets the field for his opponent and then goes on the attack and the last two times the Dustin porier has lost uh in a in a title fight uh via submission it’s been in the third round so how about this to get creative makev to win in round number three it’s at plus I think 600 or 650 on most books wow so uh you know Dustin por is a tough out and I would love to see him win the championship but I just can’t see that happening so so makev to win likely inside the distance but let’s get really creative and say that he wins uh in round three however I just want to throw out two things real quick cuz this is a numbers game Dustin porier is 7 and0 in his MMA career in the month of June and we’ll get to him in the col event the last seven times that Paul Costa has been featured not in the main event but in the co-main event or on a main card the defending Champion has lost in all seven instances if you believe in the numbers Dustin pory is the new champion of the world on Saturday night is there anything meaningful to that June stat honestly Jordan not really no I mean we yeah I mean a fight a fight’s a fight a match up is a match up but look if you want if if you like to play and you want a little bit more confidence back in Dustin porier the dude is seven and0 in the month of June you’re absolutely right though makev that’s exactly who he reminds you of Norma get off not only in terms of his fighting but just his attitude as well and then they both go out and they take care of business um yeah cor Daniel Cormier was was talking to makev and he was like you every any like throwaway question he would ask instead of rolling with the punch he would like challenge back so he’ be like this poier match is really GNA like you know salt your your status he’s like why would you say that it’s just great all right co-main Shan Strickland Paulo custa with Strickland a big favorite here yeah I mean look I think that this card is extremely chalky I I understand why Shan Strickland is as big of a favorite as he is he’s got great boxing uh you know he’s got outstanding cardio he’s going to be in the face of poloc Costa from the onset this is a five round fight even though it’s a co-main event and not for a Championship uh and he’s he’s the former champion and questions have been always asked about Pol Costa where’s his head at is this guy motivated uh this will be the first time he actually fights twice in a calendar year since he made his UFC debut I think in 2017 so it’s been a while since paoc CA has been consistent but the game plan for Sean triin is to be in the face use the J and outbox and outw work Paul Costa but here’s the thing the last two times that Sean Strickland has lost the fight uh he he’s lost it against guys that are carry power and can go hard for five rounds Jared caner comes to mind similar game plan similar type of style realistically for paoc Costa so for me uh I I I could understand back in Strickland put him into a parlay but I think actually there’s some value on paoc Costa to land more of the significant damage strike throughout a five round fight and win this fight via decision at plus 850 it’s a flyer it’s not a totally recommended confidence pick but like Strickland in a kickboxing match which he’s going to do against Paul Casta has struggled against guys that are powerful punchers so I like Paul CA if he’s right his mind is right he’s Set uh and and apparently he is because he’s fighting consistently now I think he could steal an upset here this would be the one upset pick I look at at the main card Jordan is not messing around makach round three plus 650 cost of via decision plus 850 all right you got two more plays on the main card we got uh 90 seconds what do you got here yeah I I I like the match up on the main card opener Randy Brown against Alysia dos Santos I think Randy Brown is going to utilize his athleticism his reach uh and just outpoint outwork dos Santos just avoid the phone booth fight he’s a170 uh favorite on the money line so I like him and Kevin Howen returning to middleweight uh against m o j o j has struggled at times with some takedowns uh J’s going to have to work the body and look for a knockout Holland’s Got a granite chin and as long as he’s just not having conversation with his opponent because for some reason Kevin Holland likes to talk to his opponent and like really get into dialogue concentrate on what you’re doing Kevin Holland get the takedown and O J has been submitted in two of his three current losses in his UFC career Holland’s got some good Dar chokes some good RAR naked chokes so I like Holland via mission to get some plus money on Kevin howand to win the fight all right um did we go through all four did we get them all in yes I think so we did three dogs three dogs in a favorite that’s another like don’t these guys realize we’re betting on them stop talking and fight come on just before you before before Kelly even got to that I was going to say Kelly you love Jordan SM and golf so much Kevin Holland is your new favorite UFC fighter shut up and fight come on shut up and fight stop talking Jordan appreciate it congratulations on the Bears on Hard Knocks man
