Getting it done in this one we deliver every single week we’re bringing the heat ladies and gentlemen the money line don’t miss it on the MMA experts Channel each week the money line we are live we’re talking UFC 297 I Am AJ joined as always by my

Guy Mike Finch what’s up bro I’m good my friend just hanging out here in Huntington Beach you know Huntington Beach has been a little on the chillier side this week sorry for you folks who have like negative temperatures I see everybody in Chicago freezing their ass

Off having to shovel their way out we don’t have those type of problems but me and AJ are sitting pretty California and uh in Florida and apparently AJ apparently you just started this stream right after the football game ended so perfect job and uh you know as usual

We’re killing it we’re killing it Mike I think that this 11 pm time is beautiful I honestly love it you know I’m a night owl I don’t mind at all it gives me extra time to [ __ ] chop up the graphics I don’t have to rush to Doom

I’m I’m all in for the late nights man I like uh I like it late because football being on it’s nice to be after all that you got the West coasters always tuning in and you got the night owls who are on the East Coast chopping it up with the

11:00 show bro it’s like midnight madness MMA towards the main event what’s better than that nothing’s better than that folks thank you for joining us as usual grimy what’s up AJ and Finch you f and degenerates what’s up grimy grimy that’s a that’s a degenerate name

Bro come on AJ and Mike that’s not degenerate but grimy you’re a degenerate grimy what’s up Joe Dirk good to see you Bud Rich good to see you P good to see you let’s roll boys pacu just to answer your question about members yeah I’m gonna start a members only live stream

Thursday after the Late Night Live so if you want to be a member it’s linked in the description it’s uh not the betting based members though I want to let you guys know right there it’s not me selling pics or anything like that I’m doing a live stream Thursday me after my

Usual live with the members only I’m planning on occasionally bringing in uh some of the live viewers to chop it up with me about all things MMA ask questions whatever it just be a good time to get like a more personal experience and uh that’s what the

Members is looking like we’ll mold it as we go it’s very flat Bare Bones right now but I just had to start it eventually because we’re going live every day uh that’s awesome AJ definitely follow AJ over there I love that you’re getting that started AJ’s doubling down for you guys he’s going

More content and that’s fantastic so I love the community and uh let’s get it man that’s awesome that you’re start that for everybody let’s go brother we appreciate you bro go man uh I’m looking at Ben AJ finchman DDP it’s not what you think folks it’s dricus dup plusy okay

At plus money come on man how can you ask for anything more stick around Ben we’ll talk about that main event stick around listen we’ll get some Main Event savagery coming bro I’m excited as hell to chop a up you Finch man really quick last week did Andre not do a pretty good

Job that was a pretty good fight I want to say when I was watching that fight I was thinking you know what how dare I disrespect this man Andre rovski has still got it he’s still in there competitive and so I just just wanted to say big respect to the Pitbull because I

Saw him in person and I got to interview him it’s on my YouTube channel at Mike Finch and when I was talking to him I asked him a steroids question and I could tell he hated that and I learned from that experience it was many years

Ago at this point uh was like man I pissed off the pitbull with that steroids question I probably should keep those to myself and um now here I am [ __ ] on him on this last you know episode I’m saying he’s gonna get knocked out and you know he takes it all

Three in a compe right so respect to the legend yeah big respect to him what was the question that you asked him Finch I asked him something about steroids what did I say bro this was s years ago man I mean Andre rovski has been in the UFC

Since I was in like Middle School so um yeah Andre olowski is an OG I I I don’t remember AJ I just remember the look on his face and me thinking that I was a little less safe than I was before I asked that question that’s funny man

Arlovski doesn’t [ __ ] around bro at karate combat he was in the crowd and like somebody turned the camera to him and he [ __ ] jabbed the camera and dropped it that sounds like the Pitbull I don’t know if you heard Jorge mazal explain who who he was but uh he said how did he

Define Andre lski he said that’s a old what it’s an old is Old Lion that’s right that’s an old lion you don’t you don’t poke that Lion Man no he dude listen Waldo was taunting him and [ __ ] it was it was an intense fight Waldo he

Got it by this much like I think Arlovski has been on the wrong side of a decision maybe here it could have gone either way but you could have gave it to him he’s also been on the right side of you know decision that probably should have went the other way So eventually

You know it catches up to you and he caught a loss but you know what the car did deliver I thought it was really good action throughout uh obviously we’ll talk the main event and just you know Breeze over it like an KV in my opinion has put

Himself in a top tier Contender spot the problem is marketability sellability and the fact that Jamal Hill versus Alex Pereira is a massive UFC fight and the UFC is a business nonetheless and they’re not going to risk Alex Pereira against movet anv who is extremely good

An I have said that he would not look to wrestle Alex Pereira the reason I find that rather hard to believe is the fact that Alex Pereira has amazing leg kicks and ankali got chopped up by Jan so I would assume that Pereira would have a

Lot of success ripping at the legs and that’s something I think he’d go towards so if I’m ank alive I’m not just trying to stand and strike but on Twitter ankal said he just strike with Pereira he said Glover don’t worry about your student learning grappling I’m going to strike

With him if he did go and do that though holy [ __ ] I think an live would he would learn he would earn a lot of fans though from that like if he decided to do like a Wonder Boy uh hauling agreement but when he gets chin from it it wouldn’t be

A good idea so stick to your game plan yeah exactly you hit the nail on the head there uh GD MMA one of the best Apex event I can remember at recent times that’s funny and it’s interesting to hear AJ say this because do you guys remember AJ’s tone about analia heading

Into the he’s so boring this and that right anle what is all be so bad if he won what is he gonna do knock him out yes AJ he was exciting are we gonna hear anv is not the most boring fighter now I never said he was boring physically I

Just said like personality wise he doesn’t really connect with fans you didn’t mean that his fight style was boring no no no no no I never meant that if that came across as that I never meant that what I meant is I feel like he’s hard to sell because even though he

Does not speak English that’s not my issue it’s the fact that he doesn’t really like when I’m talking to you guys like I’m looking at the screen I’m looking at mik I’m into it when he’s answering questions a lot of times is it’s more he’s just answering the

Translator but not talking to the audience watching like that was my issue like he’ll do the interview he’ll say yes I won the fight I think I’m the best in the world and it’s like monotone and he’s not looking at anybody so I think it’s it’s hard hard to sell Mike Finch

Taps out Ian masado Gary Big W nasio Baron shout out to him bring it Ian bring it all right I was I was trying to think of a good joke around that there’s a lot of good Ian Machado Gary jokes on the internet right about now aren’t

There isn’t there some good Ian Machado Gary content it was cha sunn and posted a picture on his Instagram where somebody was like standing in the back yeah and [Laughter] uh uh oh man not I’m not gonna pull it up I’m not gonna pull it up but uh you

Know essentially a um a third party to Ian Ian Machado Gary sex life joke was the top comment it just keeps on the hits just keep on coming for Ian Machado Gary uh the guy cannot get hit enough um it’s gonna be interesting to see where

His head’s at when he does come back because he tried to and I think the pressure was a lot for him man it [ __ ] with his head a lot also I have to bring up uh cannabis conosur who before we went live actually I saw that he became

A member so shout out to him as well man shout out let’s go let’s go thank you you guys put me to work man I’m working like a [ __ ] Savage now I told Finch he motivated me when he’s uh managing that [ __ ] [ __ ] gym now I’m in there hustling AJ I’m lighter

Than I’ve been I’m in uh the 170s right now I’m not usually in the 170s bro I’m definely 190 pounder you know yeah good what do you have to weigh for the grappling tournament 169 pounds okay yeah that’s perfect so you you’ll easily hit that now 10 pounds I’m like 179 178

Yeah no problem you see how much Fighters cut you know so I tell people yeah I got away you know I’m 185 right now I got to be 169 they’re like how are you going to do that in 2 weeks I’m like I I’m an MMA fan I’m an MMA analyst you

Know how much weight do these guys cut0 yeah mine’s GNA be easy this is easy work no it’s gonna be a money move for you bro and the tournament takes place when exactly tournament takes place on Saturday ADCC Long Beach a lot of the best Grapplers in the world out there

Competing on Saturday a lot of the best Grapplers in the world will be out there competing it’s going to be freaking awesome man got my buddy were competing got my guy Noah Chen competing shout out to them I’m sure you know all the stars will be out there I’m sure Andre gval

Will be in the house maybe we’ll see Gordon and John Doner maybe I’ll get them on my show I actually just saw that Sean Strickland was training with Johnny eblin I’m like should we have Johnny eblin on money line tonight it was short notice I didn’t hit him up but those are

The type of contacts we got folks I know we do we do I didn’t it didn’t even cross my mind until you just said it [ __ ] right you could have dropped some inside info he was training with Chris Curtis too and Chris is on the card bro

Yeah maybe throw him up on Mike fin show check my channel you should you should bro Mike I gotta ask you this is it televised anywhere the uh grappling match no I didn’t know if maybe it’s on YouTube or something yeah sometimes they do like those online streams so you guys

Could follow me at Mike Finch MMA if it is it’ll definitely be up there on my on my story guys make sure you follow Mike he’s got a big grappling match coming up this weekend let’s [ __ ] let’s [ __ ] go Joe Dirt to become a member you hit

The link in the description my friend Link in the description listen Mike this main event and kliv bursted his ticket into like top Contender status he’s next in line after Jamal Hill and I think that he’s legit Johnny Walker proves though like he’s not a slouch he’s a top

Seven guy he can compete with a lot of the best light heavyweights in the world with his frame it’s just ankal might be the best light heavyweight and it’s just he doesn’t have the belt right now like it’s uh I don’t know I think ankali is the favorite against Alex Pereira we’ll

See how the hill Pereira fight plays out and then we’ll find out what’s next for anv because I definitely think this summer he could be getting a fight for the belt yeah anv is a real problem man I mean we knew it before the fight but I

Mean gez what a performance he put on excellent KO of Johnny Walker sky the limit for him he might be the best light heavyweight in the UFC it’ll be interesting to see I’ll tell you what if it’s an CIA versus Alex paa I’d be a little worried for the striker um sorry

That it’s off topic But Eric Topia yo Finch what do you think of Cole from AR Jiu-Jitsu Cole abat is a Phenom Cole abat the AJ there’s this 18-year-old kid I take his class every single morning at 9:00 am because this kid is uh just one

Of one in the world of Jiu-Jitsu he was the world champion at each belt level won the brown belt ibjjf World Championships at 18 years old got his black belt a couple months ago and now he’ll be on to beat all these black belts he’s defeated guys from B

Team CRA Jones black belt Damian I’m forgetting his last name now um something with an N uh kabat is on fire this kid’s only 18 years old and I guaranteee you he will be an ADCC gold medalist he will be an igj ibjjf black belt gold medalist um super world class

And awesome to train with yeah I see Cole every morning bro that’s sick bro [ __ ] that’s sick he’s he’s an absolute young stud on the come up man I want him to do MMA he’s not a wrestler and you know he hasn’t trained striking so it’s

A little late in the game to start training striking but I mean you should see him grapple it is uh technical doesn’t quite describe it art of Jiu-Jitsu it’s about like you know not just highlevel technique but also a sort of a sort of artistic expression of the

Human body my goodness do you see that with kabat’s game uh always fighting for submissions he’ll be disappointed if he does not submit his opponent and uh in the training room really cool to watch him roll so yeah k a Phenom look out for him let’s go let’s go gonna

Have to [ __ ] check them out gotta look at some highlights or something there’s some nasty back takes on YouTube Cole Abate AB a te all right I’ll check them out Finch we got also talk co-main event Jim Miller booked his ticket to UFC 300 and also cash the lock of the

Week for both of us we doubled down on Jim Miller he was our lock we felt that he was a great call and he came to fruition I hope you guys cashed on that [ __ ] play and holy [ __ ] our lock bro we both locked it yeah yeah both locked

It bro Double Down locks Knuckles dog Miller we knew he had to be at 300 next lock all right Jim Miller is gonna fight at 300 that’s a real lock I’m excited as [ __ ] for that too man listen the Vegas card was solid man if there any other fights you want to quickly

Touch on Simone lost to Batista that was a impressive performance by Batista [ __ ] I felt like Simone let him off the hook and um I’m copying that old you know Chicago Bears Chicago that we knew they are we thought they were and we let him

Off the hook he let him off the hook man he should have kept shooting he needed a little bit more morab in his game shoot shoot again my friend um he did not play his game he played Batista’s game that’s why he lost that close decision um yeah

What you what are you gonna do he’s gonna live and learn he’s young he’s strong he’ll be back uh good great job by Batista Batista’s like I got my ass beat and training from you know getting ready for this fight and it was such an honest I’m not directly quoting him

There but it’s such an honest take from him so cool to see Batista get the dub um what can we say man Simone will be back yes let’s talk this card AJ do this card let’s do this card that’s what I want to do guys we’re gonna start it off

Make sure you all smash that like button and if you’re new to the channel subscribe moneyline Mondays every single mon day before the fights at 11: PM eastern time all right we got Malcolm Gordon versus Jimmy flick to start off the card right here we have a battle of

Two guys whose jobs are certainly on the line I’d say they’re bottom of the barrel fly weights I’m picking Jimmy flick because I think it’s a coin flip fight I’ve picked against both of these guys very consistently as of recent Jimmy flick though when he beat Cody

Duran before his uh you know temporary retirement I actually was uh picking him in that fight and he came through and he was a bit of a dog that was an impressive [ __ ] win for him took a break came back Charles Johnson beat him and then also uh Costa beat him two

Heavy-handed guys Malcolm Gordon is not a great Striker he specializes more so in the grappling Jimmy flick still got good Jiu-Jitsu Gordon’s not gonna have a lot of power to threaten flick in the Striking I’m gonna pick Jimmy flick to pull this off as an upset total coin

Flip fight for me guys I would not bet on this fight personally Malcolm Gordon was my initial thought just because Jimmy Flick’s been getting slept but you know if you look at it Malcolm Gordon’s tapped out a couple times in the UFC muhamad MV with the armar he also got

Triangled by Amir albazi um is Jimmy flick Mohammad makv or Amir albazi no obviously careful but Jimmy Flick’s better than him at Jiu-Jitsu I could imagine Jimmy flick catching him in something after having some trouble on the feet um you know not uh not the best spot in Jimmy Flick’s career his job

Probably is on the line uh you guys remember when he took a break break from fighting well he’s he’s he’s fighting right now so he’s got to know this is a must-win fight I think he’ll catch a neck Jimmy flick maybe like a gutin or a

Rear naked um not a fight I’m running to the box office for no yeah I think betting wise you’re playing with fire essentially here because they’re not top caliber guys they both could easily lose this fight flick is a dog at plus 130 interesting to see him as this large of

An underdog the line initially at open had pretty much even status minus 101 for Jimmy flick now he’s plus 130 so betting wise it is definitely a coin flip odds wise it’s better than a 5050 and we are picking it but it’s not one of my most confident calls on the card

It’s more of a malol Gore is not that great Jimmy Flick’s okay he could catch him in a sub so we’re R in that side we’re right in that side folks it’s not a a fight to bet on just enjoy it yeah I agree I agree let’s keep running up next

Fight on the card we got Jasmine Jaz deisius versus Priscilla kachua okay so this fight here to me it seems black and white it’s JZ deisius out grappling the striker and probably wearing her down enough so to catch a sub I know Jaz deisius only has one win by submission

But she is a wrestling base Grappler she is going to be putting a lot of pressure on katua and I think it’s possible she Subs her up Miranda Maverick just subbed katua Jaz deis recently beat Miranda Maverick and she was a big dog in that fight I think Jaz deisius by submission

Makes a lot of sense now kaja’s win over Arion lipsky has aged so well because lipsky just beat Casey O’Neal who’s ranked but uh don’t think that she’s gonna drop hands on Jaz deisius I’m riding with jazz deisius bro Jazz aisus all day when I saw her fight Miranda

Maverick I said damn she is a whole other level than we realized and Priscilla cashara should start to decline here so ja as divisas all day I do think she shows out in Canada I think she shows out at home too I think she’s a quality pick now betting wise the odds

Are rather wide towards her she is sitting at minus 360 with Priscilla kachua at plus 285 so damn wide lines but almost deserving so for JA deisius if ja deisius is to win by submission that line sits at plus 375 whereas decision is minus 125 so sub way

More juicy breaking bud what’s the glasses what’s with the glasses another black eye me and AJ ain’t got no black eyes Brother come on we don’t get hit I got head movement AJ might you know have to throw down every now and then but we move our head bro no brain damage here

Never been knocked out in my life let’s go hey I can I can second that and I’ve been jumped and David Finn glasses make you gangster especially these glasses David yeah we do we we got some stylish glasses guys we got some Finch she wants you to take your shirt off take your

Shirt off again is that the you know I’m kind of lean right now honestly I’m I’m a little bit you know I got the let see the chest ha going on look at this guy he’s a [ __ ] Barbarian I’m pretty lean right now lean and mean what’s Finch is advertising his

Only fans guys it’s dropping this we I started he started only F thank you for the request did you pull that up so people actually see that he asked me that no I didn’t even bring it up man I didn’t bring it up they just think you’re making it up doing the rest

Of the show without the top that’s fine that’s funny as [ __ ] fch that’s [ __ ] hilarious man listen folks Jazz decision Jazz de visus decision I think is a great call I’m on the same side I’m laughing my ass off with shirtless [ __ ] F this is a great show guys go gorilla

Yeah yeah definitely gorilla come on man this is this is the finch DNA right here looking like Finch Naga mov the ear you look like Prime pit Arlovski with that [ __ ] hair [Laughter] my holy [ __ ] on folks Finch goat I appreciate that let’s go shave that into

A v-neck yeah like right here just bring it right down the ladies like it I mean I’m not shaving n the ladies enjoy ladies my wife my wife enjoys this okay so I don’t need to shave it no over here listen you don’t need a shirt you got a [ __ ]

Full shirt on right now bro the chest there is covering you up no back hair you know it’s just right there that’s it that’s it that’s right from the other room that’s [ __ ] great gotta love it Finch is a gem guys let’s keep running up next fight on the card it’s Johan Lanes

Versus Sam Patterson my pick in this fight has got to be Johan lanus Patterson just got brutally chinned by a 45 and all honestly ashm is not a large guy of 55 and Patterson got dropped brutally with one shot now of course he was cutting a ton of weight now he’s at

70 right and is it gonna make a huge difference I don’t think he’s packed on a ton of muscle size I looked at his Instagram he looks about the same I think he’s just not cutting that extra 15 pounds could increase durability sure but when you go muscle for muscle Lane

Has his stronger I think the power Advantage for Lanes is so real and even Patterson he was knocked out or not knocked but he was rocked on Contender Series against senny when he fought him uh you know what was that like over a year ago so even though he won that

Fight I think Upp aweight class lanus is heavy-handed he rocks people and he’s gonna rock Patterson too lanus has heavy hands and Patterson’s moving up yeah patter is moving up he’s moving up he’s moving up a weight class after getting koed against the guy with heavy hands it’s a

It’s a it’s a bit of a questionable decision folks I don’t know uh yeah you gotta like L Ness here you got to think he puts it on him in Canada and uh you know Patterson it just seems like the wrong matchup for him right here yeah I

Agree I think it is I think they’re giving him a guy with heavy hands when that’s not optimal give him a Grappler see how he defends those takedowns and strike now you’re giving him a guy who’s known for dropping people lights out KO Lanes we’re both on KO Lanes I like the

Pick AJ what what are the hit me with the odds on this one let me give you the odds bro they are sitting at minus 140 for lanus very playable plus 120 for Patterson with Elena’s KO at plus 130 yeah careful on the Kos although

Plus one no I like I like a straight money line here that’s an interesting bet on less I’ll look into it I haven’t logged into bet uh what it’s been you know since December I didn’t bet on that last card um this week it’s going down

I’m dusting off the you know I’m going back in I’m not going to tell you guys where I bet but I’m going back in and I’m placing some bets I’ll look at L now so listen Finch you know what you uh you should you should tell the people say

Listen venm Mo Finch and he’ll drop you the [ __ ] bets of the week fact Mike Finch MMA please hit my venmo hit him up listen at the end of the day I think it’s a good idea bro I I mention it off the show I gonna say all

Fair [ __ ] if I’m doing memers you should be [ __ ] dropping Mike Finch’s bets of the week yeah I’m just gonna wear my venmo right here all the time and anybody who hits me up you guys could get uh you said only fans since the tops

Off no I don’t I don’t I’m not going to rock I’ve literally never been on have you been on only fan I haven’t I don’t pay for I promise listen have a nice girl okay I’m chilling right now I’m doing good that’s right so I’m I don’t I don’t

Need o bro I can see it in real life yeah I don’t get it I don’t get it that type of content is free folks you shouldn’t have to pay right I guess it feels more personal though right it’s like a spe is that really what people

That’s not good this is this is the bad part of the internet now I’m starting only fans next that’s my next venture members only then only fans if you want it to feel more personal you know what you should do get a girlfriend in real

Life you know what I mean it’s not good man this stuff is not good for society that’s funny what about a stripper I mean is that do do you go go to get feel personal I don’t know feel little personal she’s old song I’m in with

St I mean is that really I don’t think that’s the move I feel like that’s you know bachelor party item is that is Maybe I’m Wrong maybe maybe some of you guys are strip club guys yeah not me listen I went once and it was it was a

Nice experience to try it out had to go I was in Vegas bro come on okay you remember what club no don’t even give him a shout right most of those suck right yeah it wasn’t great um okay well Vegas is probably the right spot for

That type of activity AJ nice work how are we talking about this it’s probably my fault we got l s by K s by Kale let’s keep running up next fight on the card Jillian Robertson versus panav Viana listen bro what I’m thinking here is Jullian Robertson as a clear grappling

Advantage if she sticks to a hard-nose pressure wrestling takedown control game plan she can beat the strike I think she does beat Pana VI I think she’s live for a submission I’m gonna pick Robertson to win but I will say vianna is not easy to bully on the ground though she was

Submitted by lucendo last time out she still went distance with Tabitha Richie and Robertson coming off a loss to Tabitha Richie so you know Common opponent there Robertson’s got to stay heavy with the game plan of pressure grappling and stay on point I think that vianna striking is nasty for sure but I

Will predict Jullian Robertson to win this fight I think she gets it done I think she can lock up a sub too damn this is a good fight though right right isn’t paulana a good test for Jillian Robertson are you that confident I’m not going out saying yo betting Robertson N

I think I’m chilling on this one bro yeah this is a this is a tough one for me too um yeah my initial reaction was Robertson her her her record sucks but she’s good uh she’s she’s you know lowkey she’s very skilled and uh gotten so much better like what what what

Growth she’s shown in the UFC so where she’s at right now I could imagine her winning a close decision here but this this has got split decision written all over it to me it does have split decision written all over it so that’s a scary bet I think

If Robertson gets that dominant position she could lock up a sub but throwing your [ __ ] lunch money on it it’s not the most likely thing plus 155 for a sub by Robertson the fight to go over two and a half sits at plus 12 so if you

Think it’s going long you can get plus money by betting it to go distance it’s minus 250 Robertson plus 210 for vianna bro anything jumping out at you I I I think Split Decision jumps out at me uh no no man I I would definitely chill on this fight look Robertson’s top

Game is pretty strong now so if Robertson can get that takedown yeah I think Robertson could definitely run away with this thing I like the way she passes half guard I like the way she uses pins she properly keeps women’s shoulder on the canvas like she’s doing fundamental grappling really well

That’ll win in in women’s MMA at at anything but the high level even sometimes the high level right so um you know I do think Robertson take this thing it’s just paavana is a real test she’s going to come at her I could imagine sort of Robertson having trouble

In the first and sort of weathering it and getting there in the in the second and third to top position if Robertson gets on top she scores that decision because she controls really well yeah I agree with that sentiment my friend we’re on the exact same side sentiment

You say sediment Like a Rock sediment sentim siment sentiment sentiment yes oh [ __ ] I thought it was sentiment with the D this whole time sentiment is like I heard that I like sentiment is like you know like gravel sentiment yeah I agree with that sentiment Mike fin I agree I

Agree with you my friend let’s keep running up next fight on the card s cidi versus raymont Tavares a rematch okay I don’t need to see this one run back I think that City probably Snipes him again it was an early stoppage sure it was still was a clean knockdown in

The first round and who knows if that fight would have ended shortly thereafter I think we could have gone in different directions with both men but we’re going to do a rematch the UFC was Adam in on running these two back uh Tavarez fought at the end of the

Contender series and had an absolutely sick KO of uh cavius Romeo he knocked him out in 29 seconds so we know tarz has heavy hands the thing is Seri city is not an easy guy to just walk down and crack he’s pretty technically sound he sniped tarz out before I see a high

Possibility of him sniping him a second time yeah I I agree with you here um I think tvar has missed weight last time too so we’ll we we’ll keep our eyes out on that one let me know if I’m mistaken but uh we’ll keep one of the one of

These guys miss weight in the last fight uh keep our eyes out on that I I don’t know uh I don’t know that they needed to run it back I’m sure you know I’m sure it’ll be tough to score another win again after sort of getting that that

Stoppage um yeah I’ll double up with you on City but definitely a fight I’m staying away from AJ there are such better bets on this card I agree bro it’s like this one here you’re playing with fire both guys could crack tarez even though you know the chin has to be

A little bit of a question mark him getting dropped last time and he does have another KO loss he also has a fuckload of punching power plus 145 tarez minus 170 for Seri City the under one and a half is plus 100 I think that’s dangerous under two and a half

Would probably go better uh City by K plus plus 250 tvars by Kale also plus 250 yeah not our favorite bets of the night on this one no no no not our F just get some popcorn and enjoy it for Christmas I got my wife R2D2’s head and

Then it’s like a popcorn bowl bust that out make yourself some nice popcorn and enjoy this one folks hey Chad Cuba did you watch my full card predictions go and watch it with the jordane Shawn Woodson side you need to watch it because you probably going to feel damn

Good because uh maybe you got a little shout out so make sure you [ __ ] watch it after this if you didn’t see it cuz I didn’t see you in the comments so you you you just made him leave the live right now he’s going right now go watch

It go watch you you can come back with us you can come back with us after let’s keep running up bro next fight on the card we got Charles jel versus the sniper an absolute Savage sha Woodson okay so Mike I initially right pre- studying anything I’m like okay

Okay Jordan probably beats him by a decision touches him up on the feet and I dig into the fight I’m like okay Woodson’s got a 9-inch reach Advantage he’s way taller he’s a very experienced Golden Gloves amateur boxer he has good MMA boxing he’s a big dude that’s hard

To take down Charles Jordan does have submission wins but I think he does better submitting people who engage him in the grappling department now I’m dealing with a crazy wingspan of a guy that can box Jordan is he gonna be kicking him up from the outside there’s

Going to be Jabs and Crosses right away for Woodson even in kicking range for Jordan with this type of range differential going Shan Woodson upset decision bro I’m against you AJ I think Charles Jordan is fine in his Groove man uh Charles Jordan black belt and Jiu-Jitsu

Too got to put that into account I think he could backpack them and on the feet I think Charles jordane’s pretty technical I mean he’s had some issues in the UFC is he going to get stuck out there at range he’s got Nice Kicks I don’t know I

Think think he hangs with Woodson I’m going Charles Jordan close decision it’s in Canada too only more reason to go jordane think it’s a hard fight in Canada man Woodson’s gonna have to overcome that [ __ ] you know rather Jordan’s gonna have to overcome a big length difference bro and uh I think

Woodson too he uses the length fairly well and I don’t think of Jordan’s offensive wrestling as a major strength right so with Woodson if he does get into a rhythm on the feet Jordan caught striking I think he gets caught on a lot of end of shots but we shall see good

Fight nonetheless Woodson’s a dog as I said he’s plus 145 Jordan minus 170 this fight to go over two and a half is minus 150 but we do have two good Strikers so somebody these lights could definitely be shut off here yeah for sure uh we have Woodson can definitely deliver that

But Charles jordane is technical enough to handle him and uh come on there’s a little bit of crowd sway right being in Canada you got to start leaning you know Mike m going to feel it everybody’s going to feel it who’s repping and Charles jordane seems to me to have the

Option of strangle as well uh so I like Charles jordane in this fight but an interesting one I like your dog pick you’re going for dog I appreciate the dog pick a he listen I saw an opportunity I got a ride with it we’ll see what happens when the cage door

Closes nonetheless I think we got a pretty fun fight in store either way yes sir let’s keep running up next fight the featured prelim of the night it’s Brad Katona versus Garrett Armfield I got to pick Brad Katona to have a superior fight IQ than being able

To outpoint Armfield but there is a big statistic that really jumps out it’s Armfield is gonna have a five and a half inch reach Advantage but both of these guys are 56 that’s crazy but the thing is this Katona is used to having a disadvantage in reach he has a 64 and a

Half inch reach that’s incredibly short he’s used to having to close the gap on guys with more range than him even though Armfield has the longer reach he is not one of these a tier boxers who uses this distance management to an extremely high degree so I think Katona

Does find strikes here I think he can also find takedowns and I think he wins the decision two-time Ultimate Fighter winner he’s gonna win this one yeah Brad Katona is kind of grown on us right I mean Brad Katona a that technical I like how he had to go

Through the ultimate fighter again uh he’s a dork for sure uh and he kind of throws looping shots I I don’t know that that’s good against a guy with wings for arms uh funny that arm is in his last name too but um I could see Brad Katona closing the distance on him

Working him in the clinch against the fence just being an MMA fighter in this one Brad Katona is very well conditioned too very strong guy and the vet and he’s in his freaking Prime right now so give me the give me the the jacked nerd give

Me Brad Katona as well I think he looks good in can I agree bro I’m going with the Jack nerd the odds for it Katona is a minus 178 favorite Armfield plus 153 with the over two and a half at minus 172 I do think it goes over I’m picking Katona by

Decision that’s plus 115 I do think he should be able to pull it off I mean if you add his Ultimate Fighter wins the dude is 17 and three is a pro uh hit me with that again if you add his four wins from The Ultimate Fighter

I mean he’s 17 and three the dude’s got a fuckload of experience he’s fought good opposition and and you fight good opposition in that Ultimate Fighter house you know so yeah for sure uh you gota you got to give some respect to Katona um yeah he looks good he looks

Good and and he’s the the type of guy who comes out and wins that third round bra Katona is the type of guy who digs deep so mentally and then also physically he’s just in great shape and uh his skills are pretty much there I

The one thing I don’t like in in a matchup where he has a reach disadvantages he likes to Loop his [ __ ] he’s got to be techical in this one I’ll bet he is enough I think so we’re riding the same side Katona for the W let’s

Keep running up let’s get to the main card if you guys haven’t yet make sure you smash that like button and if you’re new to the channel subscribe we got Arnold Allen versus mzar evloev I gotta stick with the undefeated bro I’m going mesar by a decision in

This fight I do think Arnold Allen is a Stern test he’s got heavy hands he’s athletic he’s a quality Striker I think Evo’s going to be pretty game with the kickboxing and I can even see him timing some takedowns I feel as though people are writing evev off after a win against

Diego Lopez Diego Lopez is a great Prospect and evev nonetheless beat him and it was on very short notice when we essentially had minimal ideas of the capabilities that Lopez had on the ground and evov still was able to pull off a competitive W I think evov is a

Quality fighter man I think he finds ways to win in hard matchups and I’m picking him to take Allen on the cards I’m going with Allan I think Allen’s a phenomenal Striker I like how he has lateral movement I like how he knows how to put a high output out yes

He got his face boxed off by the former champ but Allen is a beast and I really think that he’s a much better Striker than msar evev and yes you know evev dastan wrestling I understand it’s going to be a problem but it’s a problem when

You stand in front of him Brendan Allen is a very mobile Striker so I think he touches and moves touches and moves and it’ll accumulate on him and he will get taken down at some point I mean I could imagine him having some trouble on his back it’s definitely a fight but is

Allen dog money Allen is a dog current odds for the fight have him at plus 165 come on folks plus 165 for a guy who looked at one point like he was going to be next up for a title shot don’t write Allen off yet the kid’s a beast I think

He shows out um it’s going to be a good fight I love this matchup I would love to see this fight live this will be very high level give me Allen in a damn good fight he has to defend takedowns he cannot be getting his kicks caught and

Standing in front of evev he can’t be caught on that fence you have to tell Allen if you’re in his Corner that that fence is electric you have to keep your back off of it you have to take the center of the cage but a good thing here

Is they are fighting in that big cage they’re not at the Apex in that foam Booth I think Allan’s going to use that to his Advantage move left move right after he strikes and get two out of three rounds here Allen the dog by decision I respect Finch going dog in

This one I’m going with the favorite moves are at minus 190 and over two and a half I think is high likely though I think it’s going distance for sure minus 340 for that decision West Coast is trying to tell me to put my shirt on get we have zero

Donut today I think zero Dons give me give me a Michael Bowman level Dono sh goes back on all right sh go other than that all right I I I’m I’m a free man over here in the United States it’s shirt off today okay I’m in shape I’m in

Shape right now so we’re gonna we’re gonna show off the chest here today drop a little Dono for the finch man guys come on we double down some locks show some love man especially Bowman we haven’t seen him in the chat I dm’d him I talked to him but I haven’t seen him

Bro is that right I’m GL you DM him that’s really cool Bowman Bowman’s part of the family all right Bowman Bowman’s on the he’s on the payroll man we love Bowman we love him bro we love him listen let’s keep running up the card let’s get to our next fight on it we

Have Curtis Chris Curtis almost said Curtis blades I was this close man I was this close versus Mark Andre barot this is my Against the Grain pick I’m taking Mark Andre burial I think he makes this a dirty and nasty fight in the Muay Thai distance avoids Chris Curtis’s best

Punches and wins a grimy decision damn grimy that is a Mark Andre barel fight right Mark Andre barel will get tagged up a little bit it’ll be tough and he just digs deeper he just throws more shots he wants to drag you into those deep Waters and drown you I like Mark

Andre barel too but Chris Curtis man I feel like in this matchup Chris Curtis’s boxing is going to look good that shoulder roll he uses is going to work good I kind of like this matchup for him Mark Andre barel throws so many shots that he will be available for a counter

Punch which is Chris Curtis’s sort of best toys right is that you you missing he’ll bounce the shots off he’ll bounce the shots off the shoulder and then he’ll come back with his own right he stays tight like this in that Philly shell he’ll be able to roll and hit back

I think boxing wise this is a great matchup for Chris Curtis and Mark Andre barel has that nasty cardio luckily it’s not a five round fight right we’re only going three and then you know Chris Curtis is pretty reserved so you’ll see a big difference in output but I think

You’ll also see a big difference and when Chris Curtis hits him the consequences will be a lot higher I do like that Chris Curtis was out there or sorry that Johnny eblin came out to train with Chris Curtis and Shan Strickland before this and I’ll definitely be trying to hit Johnny eblin

Up to score an interview later this week we we thought about getting him on today but it would be short notice uh Johnny elin’s been there in Vegas training with these guys come on man if you’re if you’re in the cage with Johnny eblin Mark Andre bar Al it’s a real step down

I think Chris Curtis looks good I think he wins this fight um another decision though because Mark Andre baralt is tough as they come I agree I agree I think it’s going long the Bob with the 199 hard to take picks from a guy who lost his

Shirt first of all I didn’t lose the shirt it’s right here okay secondly the reason why it’s gone is because the chats request so make up your [ __ ] minds guys okay I thought you folks could be on the same page all right and that was not a request to put it back on

Either so it’s staying off Bob apprciate your two thank you much love let’s go let’s go all right odds for this fight burial is plus 165 the dog with Curtis as a minus 190 favorite over two and a half sits at minus5 I do think we’re probably going

Longer yeah we could be going long um Jeff Bruno decent take here I don’t like that Chris Curtis expects his opponent to come forward and play his game and if they don’t he whines about it having said that Curtis’s M Boxing is much better I think Mark Mark Andre

Barel kind of fits the bill though right Bruno right Bruno I feel like baral’s gonna walk right into the Trap AJ I’m on the other side with this one decision yeah I’m excited to see how these play out cuz there’s some flips that we’re on opposite sides of and there’s just some

Fights that could essentially go either away it’s going to be a really interesting card when it all gets played out man I’m looking forward to watching looking forward to sweeping the card undefeated let’s go genuinely looking forward to Saturday you know I’ve heard some people talk about Sean Strickland

Is the champ it’s not goingon to sell big pay-per-views as a as a DI hard fan like I know all you folks are tuning in I’m excited I’m excited bro we have to be let’s go let’s keep running up Finch next fight on the card it brings us to

Our featured bout of the night it’s Neil Magny versus Mike mot I think that this is Mike mot’s showcase opportunity in Canada right now he’s one of the bigger prospects coming out of Canada looking to turn the corner and become you know contenders welterweight especially and there’s a

Lot of savages at welterweight on the come up I think right now that division’s got some real prospects to watch Mike mot’s well-rounded he has a very dangerous grappling game I’m picking him to beat Neil Magny by submission now we’ve seen guys fumble with Neil in the past before and

Obviously as of late he’s been taking some L’s but he’s still able to win a lot of fights but what I don’t like is the Phil Rose Split Decision I think Magny looked a little add there and then Ian Gary dominates him for three rounds

And beats him up and I think Mike mot here submits him yeah I mean I I I think this is a total mismatch at this point Neil Magny at the end Mike mad in his prime again this is the Canada boy they’re going to be loud when Mike mot

Walks out especially since they don’t have a lot to look forward to in the main and co-main as far as Canadians go right you’re talking about Shan Strickland dricus dupi and then a Brazilian fighting an American for the women’s title so this fight is where they’re gonna you know hopefully they’re

Drunk at this time and they’re able to have a lot of fun with Mike mot’s walking out Mike mot’s good I do think he gets the better at Neil Magny does he finish him you think submission kind of hard to submit Neil Magny right I mean two good Grapplers have done it recently

Being sha cot and burns granted both top caliber if meot follows suit and is able to win by submission I think that’s a major win for his career yeah I could man that’s tough yeah Mike Mike mot’s definitely a problem uh 32 years old he’s in his prime right now uh he has

Been submitting folks to arm triangle over Johan Lanes Guillotine over Adam fuget it’s a little bit of a step up I see what you’re saying with submission though maybe I could sprinkle submission in there I feel like Mike malaka ground him pound two he’ll look for a finish

Because the crowd’s going to go nuts when he’s on top so um yeah maybe I’ll mix it up and say ground and pound because Neil Magny is goingon to be good on the submission defense but I could see submission too I like the call AJ you’re you’re almost convincing me on

Air right now maybe submission is the way to go let’s go my guy listen as far as the money line you’re not getting anything minus 400 malot plus 300 Magny subline sits at plus 125 for Mike Mot and a Mot decision is actually at plus

325 yeah plus 325 is a little wide yeah a little wide so could be a parlay piece yeah I think uh mot’s a big favorite at the end of the day yeah if you’re gonna bet mot if I bet mot which I might it’ll

Be in a parlay parlay it has to be at that at that line big boy big favorite listen good fight and an opportunity for meot to really burst onto the scene at the highest caliber and uh I will predict and Finch will predict that he

Does I mean yes I think this is this is going to be a staple highlight for him a staple performance for him and they didn’t give him some insane fight Neil mag’s you know on the on the downward slope a shout out to Neil Magny you know

I always tell you folks I’ve done commentary with him he’s a really good guy appreciate him this is a matchup that clearly uh you know there’s a reason why he’s a three to one dog yeah I think so let’s go let’s keep running co- Main Event Championship on the line the vacant

Women’s bantamweight Championship Raquel Pennington versus Myra Bueno Sila take five thumbs sh we’re going going bu Silva we’re going Bueno Silva I’m going to pick her I’m going to say the the belt stays with Brazil I think she can win by sub she’s a more dangerous fighter but Raquel’s pretty

Well-rounded she’s a good generalist and like there’s a chance Raquel is strong in the clinch pressures Bueno Silva strikes with her and you know she ends up winning kind of a decision I’m gonna say Bueno Silva locks up a sub though I mean she strangled Holly Holm even

Though it got overturned she still pulled it off it’s one of those fights man where it’s like Bueno Silva looks like she could become the champion and uh Pennington’s been around forever though can you imagine Pennington gets the strap I mean would it not be storybook I know

The UFC loves rockel Pennington that was a big win against against Katlin Vieira in her last fight I mean I got a lot of respect for Katlin you know another woman who’s been on top big wins for Katlin Vieira um you know she has obviously also beaten Holly Holmes so uh

You know doing doing your MMA math never do that but doing your MMA math these women are both up there and have wins over real Fighters so um you know it’s a really good fight Myer Bueno Silva tested positive for steroids nah it was some type of ADHD medication I believe

Oh well that’s different that’s come on yeah they’re not the same yeah you know it’s good to have a little little Asbergers or a little I don’t know I don’t know much about yeah maybe you know hyperactive good that you’re hyperactive you’re a cage fighter um I got Myro Bueno Silva

As well I watched MMA Guru show and he had he did not know what Myro Bueno Silva submitted Holly Hol with Guru this is for you that is a ninja choke a ninja choke is when you line your elbow up with the person’s Adams Apple I don’t

Think women have Adams apples right so chin I guess I should say and once you bring that arm all the way up there you slide your secondary arm over the top that creates three points of Leverage your primary arm your secondary arm and then bringing your hips in to cut that

Head off it is a great strangle and she used that ninja choke to finish Holly Holm that ninja choke is super nasty you trap the head in your sternum and I do think that she’s live to do that against Rocky Pennington too because Holly Holm is not a you know wrestler anyway she

Was just pushing her into the fence and you know rockel Pennington likes to clinch a lot rockel Pennington needs to box Myra Bueno Silva she honestly does have a pathway to the title it’s pretty crazy honestly that this is a title fight right I mean we went from Holly

Holm Ronda Rousey you know uh Amanda Nunes and now it’s rockel Pennington versus Myra Bueno Silva obviously they’re not Superstars um but they’re they’re good and um I think Mara Bueno Silva amazingly like who would have thought this a you know a year or two

Ago is gonna be the champ yeah I think she pulls it off too and uh Finn you said women can’t have Adams Apple I mean 2024 they can have chest hair beards [ __ ] AJ hit me with I do live in California okay I’ve seen some [ __ ] SE some real

[ __ ] how dare you AJ we’re on the same side with Bueno Silva I do think she pulls it off I’m gonna say she’s got a good chance of subbing it up here but hard fight nonetheless it’s minus 150 from Bueno Sila with Pennington at plus 130 and then looking at submission win

For Bueno Silva that’s sitting at uh plus 165 but I don’t love it I don’t love betting on this one guys um but you know Myra Bueno Silva just more ways to win I mean they got to go five rounds it’s a long time to be in there with a real

Submission threat a real finisher like my Bueno Silva Rocky Pennington probably tries to box to a decision maybe it works maybe maybe Rocky starts letting her freaking hands go but sometimes she has trouble doing that and over a five round fight I could imagine her being a

Little too off the trigger um you know so if if if Pennington had a little more power I’d like it but remember that Katlin Vieira fight was razor thin it was I thought she lost it I thought she lost it on my scorecard I thought the

Other way yeah facts I mean you you could definitely score that for uh katyn Vieira and I honestly kind of would like a Katlin Vieira versus Bueno Silva but it’s cool that Rocky’s getting the shot I mean when else would she get it you know it’s like it’s the same thing that

Happened with like Michael Bisping it’s like holy [ __ ] Michael Bisping needs a freaking title shot and then he wins it so you never know um we’re going Myro Bueno Silva I think we’re both on submission right yeah we’re both calling sub uh I’ll tell you this though this is

Concerning for the bantamweight division man like if rockel Pennington is to win it puts the division in a hard spot because we’ve had Amanda Nunes reigning at the top for years that’s a woman who can Main Event cards that could Main Event a pay-per-view and we’ve seen that

In Canada a lot uh with Pennington Bueno Silva even a little bit more difficult I think Bueno Silva really has got to go out there and look impressed to like you know be able to sell her own cards I think even then it will take a couple I

Don’t know is there a star on the come up at bantamweight I feel like women’s flyweights on fire women’s straws A1 but the issue is with women’s Banton weight like we don’t have that next female star like we’ve always had somebody from the Holly Holmes to the Rousey to the Misha

Tates to the nunes’s uh you know I mean Juliana pñ is probably next in line yeah I’m scrolling to it right now women bantamweights what do we got everybody in the top 15 we got Juliana paa number one Rocky Pennington Myra Bueno Silva and then right away Katlin Vieira Irene

Aldana Holly Holm The Usual Suspects um yeah Penny Kad I I messed that panny yeah panny Jana Santos Carol Rosa Misha Tate Macy Chon now we’re down to like Norma Dumont you know so um it ain’t deep folks ain’t super deep it’s not the best women’s division I do think that

Way Lee rules the best women’s division right now I agree I agree yeah unfortunately women’s band some weight we we need somebody to burst out onto the scene with some star power that’s what I’m hoping I’m hoping it comes man because this is it’s always been a division that’s had like a popular

Female champion yeah exactly and I I think they need it back you know ay Ali Point vtv supporting the iron knee is that you that that’s you you threw that flying knee okay the finch man I appreciate that the finch man people have been calling me that my whole life where do

You guys how do you guys link up like they didn’t communicate with my high school friends how the finch man it just Finch man just works I guess it’s just dude I started calling you it nobody told me I say yo Finch man I’ve been hearing that a long time

Finch bear from multiple people man I don’t get it um I have a list of nicknames and I if Finch man’s in there but I’m gonna add it Ali thank you Finch man’s a good nickname bro listen co-main event going down we’re both saying that Bueno Silva is gonna get the crown it’s

Time to get to the main event if you guys have not yet smash the likes if you’re new subscribe moneyline Mondays on the way we got Shan Strickland versus draus dupi for the middleweight Championship Mike Finch my pick on this fight is Shan Strickland and still

Something about dras dupi is I think he is very open down the center line and Shan strigin being a very good MMA boxer I see Finding success with straight shots and I do think he bust up dup’s nose a lot which could be a factor heading into the later stages second

Round third round fourth round Strickland I think can really kind of accumulate a lot of damage by you know his volume based striking style now I know a lot of people see dupes run him over he’s going to Blitz him and come out real strong but Strickland is not a

Guy that’s easily bully in the cage he’s well-rounded he has a very quality grappling game I don’t think dupes is going to have great success shooting takedowns when we’re looking at striking I think Strickland’s hands are faster now dupi one punch power probably a bit harder now note something Brad tarez

Gave drias dupi a very difficult fight some years ago he is an extreme cotor fighter as well not trying to make the exact correlation that everything is about the camp but there is a factor there is I don’t think Strickland’s getting bullied by dupes as a lot of

People see seem to be saying I think Shan Strickland is able to evade the blitzes and even put pressure on dupes and I think he finds a lot of shots wearing him down and I think he is live for like a later knockout in the fight especially with the style that dupes is

Fighting killer be killed I expect this thing to end inside distance and I’m calling Shan Strickland third round knockout and still champion of the world I’m going Sean Strickland too I know some of you folks wanted to hear me say dricus dup plusy I’ve seen you

People out there saying this is a steal to get dricus at plus moneyy dricus is gonna walk him down and beat his ass I think dricus dupy is now officially overrated I just I think Rob Whitaker I believe what he said in the press conference he was just fighting that one

For money you know he he he I’m I’m paraphrasing folks I’m exaggerating don’t yell at me but he did mention you know he needed a check and he got a check but he got an L as well and kind of melted to dricus dup plusy and did I

See a look of a little bit of surprise on dricus dup Plus’s face when he finally got Rob Whitaker to concede so dricus dup plusi is has a a tall task on his hands here because he’s got a true five round fighter and drias dupi

Physically he does have a lot of good he does have good cardio I mean shout out to him but physically carrying all that muscle just cannot have the same type of output as a Sean Strickland he’s not a wrestler I know he took down like what Darren till who doesn’t take down Darren

Till what are we talking about uh drias D plusi is probably gonna have a lot of trouble with the black belt and Jiu-Jitsu Shan Strickland would this be a good time for sha Strickland to bring out the black belt and show us a strangle yes it would and again I really

Like that they brought Johnny eblin out Johnny eblin is a great test a he’s not quite dricus dupi but he’s better I think and and in some key ways and I do think that driis D plusi is going to fade over five with a sha Strickland

He’s never had to deal with this type of output and you’re dealing with champ Shan Strickland so you know he’s on point Shan Strickland was gifted a new gun this week he’s on Cloud9 folks we gotta think Sean Strickland is able to get this thing going a huge piece of

This fight is going to be who is moving forward both of these guys like to fight on the front foot you know what that means they’re going to throw down folks I think they’re going to have themselves a nice first round where sha Strickland is going to be the one who has to

Concede a little bit of that but eventually Shan Strickland starts walking you down he’s done so many thousands of hours of sparring that he knows how to turn tides and rounds you saw him do it against adna he can back up a little bit and then just [ __ ]

Pressure you for the rest of the fight I think that’s what he’ll do I do think he starts turning the tide on dricus and once he gets some momentum he doesn’t give it back to dricus I think he uses his boxing which is clearly improved uh

Since the you know P loss and he’s just on he’s just on one right now it’s a good fight it’s a good matchup these are not the best middleweights of all time but this is a fun fight it’s the right fight and although neither of them are

Canadian I guarantee you that crowd’s g to be super loud when they walk out there’s a lot of Shan Strickland fans out here I think he’s feeling it and I think he’s put that into his confidence it’s a part of the Sha Strickland aura that you have to defeat in there now

When that guy’s walking forward throwing those push kits snapping that jab out there at you it looks simple but it’s going to be hard to deal with Shan Strickland gets this over five rounds give me four out of five rounds for Shawn four out of five rounds for Shawn

Is something I respect a lot I think going distance is possible now let’s talk betting odds for the fight Sean Strickland is the favorite at minus 140 to draus dupi at Plus 120 as the dog close close odds close close fight how do you feel about the betting

Lines they about represent what the fight looks like I mean I could see why drick is dupi is perhaps the biggest middleweight I’ve ever seen which is insane since we’ve had middleweight Paulo Costa when I met Paulo Costa I thought that was a heavyweight he’s way

I’ve met Mike Tyson he’s way bigger than Mike Tyson smoked the joint with Mike Tyson he’s way bigger than Mike Tyson okay um he is you know enormous and I feel like drick is D plusy same type of character like how how does this guy

Make 185 it makes no sense to me if he’s cutting that much weight is it going to affect him in four and five perhaps we haven’t seen it I know Sean strickler could go five rounds he’s done it a couple times now right that Aus fight

Was booked for five like he’s done these camps for five rounds I think Sean Strickland is going to be on one dude um yeah but trickest D plusi is legit I think that the lines are about right I think the lines are about right listen bro I think it’s possible for Strickland

To even stop him with the barrage but looking at over two and a half plus 120 Strickland by KO plus 180 Strickland by decision plus 315 Strickland by decision plus 315 is interesting cuz dricus is going to be hard to finish he would really have to

Gas him out to finish him right dricus is tough mentally you got to give it to dricus I mean he breaks people he’s very tough but a little clumsy am I wrong for saying that is no no he’s a little clumsy his footwork is a little iffy

He’s clunky even in the way that he moves yeah yes and Shawn should just be able to hit him with that right hide behind the shoulder I mean he’s training with Chris Curtis they’re on the same card they got to love that the boys getting ready together similar Philly

Shell style I like Sean Strickland here man I think this matchup works for him not every matchup does you know I’ve picked against Sean Strickland I like him here I do too Mike we’re on the same side for the main event we’re going team Strickland to get it done at

297 I’m excited bro I’m excited to see what the hell happens we got Finch grappling earlier in the day too so let’s [ __ ] go let hell yeah you know who it is that you’re grappling against bro I have like 30 something people in my divion or something going to be

Insanity so no I’m just I’m not I’m not even going to look any of them up I’m just going to go out there ADCC my first ADCC I’ve noticed everybody else in the division they got 30 grappling matches in 2023 I’m coming off the couch I’m I’m

Knocking the dust off so I’m gonna start right at the top I’m going right into the playoffs no regular season at ADCC I’m just GNA have some fun you guys will see me grappling a few times this week I’ve been at AR Jiu-Jitsu training my

Butt off um it’s just just fun to get back into it I’m in my Prime I’m 31 why not get on the mat a little bit so I’m not even putting pressure on myself bro I’m not studying my opponents I’m gonna go out there and have some fun let’s go

Finch listen I’m excited for you we obviously rooting hard for you and we’re excited to uh hear how it all goes down but you know what I’m even more excited about the locks in the parlays yes sir yes sir let’s get the lock started Up lock of the week for UFC 297 Finch andai GNA drop the locks listen right now I’m on a three lock streak I’m confident heading into this card Finch man cashed it last week too we both were on Jim Miller what are we thinking this week as

The lock man you’re gonna hate this [ __ ] what are you going for you’re gonna hate this [ __ ] you’re gonna hate this [ __ ] I’m going against dastan bro I’m going Arnold Allen Arnold Allen at Plus money you’re going to give me plus money for this extremely talented Striker much

Better at striking than than than evev and I do believe he tags him up I think he’s gonna do it could he get controlled yes don’t hate it don’t bet your house stay in the H the housing is too damn expensive anyway quit trying to bet your house folks be responsible but I’m

Locking Arnold Allen at plus money I like it I think that you’re on to some Allen currently sitting at plus 165 I think there’s a real good chance that he comes through for you my friend come on I think come on dud Arnold Arnold Allen is now underrated and it’s crazy to see

This guy is one of the best fighters in the world I know we got boxed up but this is a totally different type of matchup I have not seen him I I think he’s going to have show off his takedown defense this guy’s a real well-rounded fighter his kicks are tremendous and I

Think he’s going to very very heavily out strike msar it’s going to be absolutely up to the takedowns if if if mosar can’t hit these takedowns I think he’s getting teed up I respect it Finch so I’m going to let you guys know a little bit of my

Thought process I had my lock decided between two fighters heading into this show one of them a prelim fighter one of them a main card fighter you know what I don’t want to risk it on a prelim guy who’s one and two in the UFC that

Call was going to be Johan Lanes that’s a good pick I’m feeling good about that that’ll probably be in my most confident pick so there’s a sneak peek I’m locking Shan Strickland I’m going for an still it’s the main event I have to do it I

Have to do it I just feel it inside man I feel it inside I said to myself would I be more upset was Sean Strickland if I didn’t call him the lock and then Lanes ends up losing yeah I would I’d be pissed as if the contrary happened it’s

Part of the game but nah we’re going Shan Strickland I’m doing it guys I’m going for Shan Strickland I’m going an still Champion I’m bringing heat with the lock of the week I have to double down on my main event call I think he exposes draus I see too many striking

Openings and I’m riding with it let’s do it let’s do it Savage mode Sean Strickland the champion of the world and we’re both picking him and AJ’s locking him in his first title defense what is life what is going on I don’t know I uh didn’t expect Shan

Strickland to be World Champ and now I’m picking him in a defense too I love it man Sean strick is on top of his game right now mentally physically and um you know I didn’t I didn’t love him crying on Theo Von’s show what the heck was

That you’re gonna go on a comedian’s podcast and cry about your I I know look I had a rough childhood too okay I didn’t get like raped I don’t know what happened I have no idea I don’t know I don’t know what I’m talking about all I

Know is I look I’m scrolling through Instagram and I see Shan Strickland crying and Theo Von like I’m a comedian bro like we we were on here to make dick jokes like I don’t know why you’re crying you know it it was it was strange so if Sean Strickland’s in the right

Head space uh this week hopefully he is um he will win there’s a little bit of emotion behind this fight though right AJ it it’s personal for Sean Strickland I must say those abs are popping through man he’s in shape for it um you got to think that his confidence in his

Fighting ability is at an all-time high that’s why I’m picking him his uh emotional ability questionable listen you know what a few tiers will lead him to better success I’m going with him bro I’m going with Sean Strickland this week’s lock let’s do it bro we got good locks Finch on

Allen I’m on Strickland it’s time for Finch’s favorite section of all time the parlay King himself let’s get to the parlays all the drop parlay time open up your wallets and let’s bet on some f fights Mike Finch the parlay King himself I know you’ve concocted something with uh some

Magic this week so give us your recipe my friend Mike mot has got to be in the parlay folks Mike mot is an absolute Beast I mean he should he should definitely steamroll our guy Neil Magny and big respect to Neil Magny sorry that I’m putting it like that Neil but I

Don’t even think you watch the show I don’t know we’re friends on Facebook not Instagram I post it on Instagram so don’t check my story on Facebook please don’t watch this show Neil I love you um Mike mot is going to dominate and and there’s a couple nice picks here I I I

Must say that I’m looking at Chris Curtis but it seems to me that Jasmine jazad deisius is a real is a real lock here so Mike mot and Jasmine jazad deisius those are probably the two most confident calls on the card if you feel like sweetening up you feel like taking

A little risk you throw a Chris Curtis in there offishal lock give me Mike mot Jasmine jazza deisius I like that call you sitting around minus 140 with uh Mike’s money too and then if you had Curtis it’s plus 165 I am going to ride with Johan Lanes okay I’m gonna put him

In my lineup he’s a decent play I think he’s got a high chance of winning Jasmine Jaz deisius I think is also a quality call with mot but I’m going to add just a tiny bit more steam I’m going to play the over in the uh Katona and

Armfield fight let me quickly get this line minus 170 look at that and boom we’re sitting at around plus 365 for lanus Jaz deisius mot and over in the Katona Armfield fight I’m riding with a four Pat baby bringing big four a four piece let’s

Go I like it man good for you AJ AJ’s AJ’s got some picks on this card you see you see that guys he’s dropping some heat listen I’m giving it my my [ __ ] swing for the fences let’s get a [ __ ] knockout it’s hard to hit four right but

If if the confidence is high it’s there let’s do I have to do it I gotta ride with it I got to let’s go we we got this [ __ ] I’m excited Finch I think we got a fun card on the way man I think so too
