 Hey, Redis, come on. I am Greg Sussman, joined today by Gabe Morenze. Take a look at this weekend's UFC fights. The names, well, they're not easy. Hopefully the winners are easy to predict. Let's go on, Gabe. We're ready to rock and roll, Greg. You know what? You need a degree from Rosetta Stone to pronounce some of these names. But let's get the picks right. I'm more concerned with the predictions than the pronunciations. Let's roll. Predictions, greater sign, pronunciations. Let's begin with Takashi Sato. Taken on, Rameez, Brahemaj. It's Sato that's the favorite over at the Bandule Sportsbook. He's minus 138 as we record this. Gabe, you like Sato the favorite here. How come? Yeah, there's gonna be some fireworks to get the party started on a Saturday. We know about the 25 foot octagon as opposed to the 30 footer. Sato is an aggressive fighter, 15 and three, Greg. A seven and two in his last nine fights, two and one in his last three. The sole loss to Bilal Muhammad, who as we've seen and we saw last week is a world-class fighter. No shame at all in losing to Bilal Muhammad. You wanna talk about destruction. His last eight fights have failed to go to the judge's scorecard, all right? So Sato comes in here looking to take care of business and looking to finish you. He's more of a striker. He's more of a bruising, powerful, traditional fighter. Brahemaj is gonna be looking for the submission and I don't think he's gonna find it. I can't tell you that eight of his 10 fights have got under the number as well. You guys will see, I'm more of an over better because you get plus money on rolling the dice, on taking over round props in the UFC. But in this fight, Greg, I don't see it going the distance. I think somebody's gonna get stopped and I think Sato's gonna be the one to do the stopping. So I'm gonna lay the price with Sato here and I'm gonna go under two and a half rounds, not over under two and a half rounds. I expect Sato to win this fight before the two and a half round mark. So we're used to Gabe normally taking the over in the rounds, not in this fight. He's begging on Sato. He's begging on the under two and a half rounds. Sato does his job and wins this fight early. Let's move on to another fight here, Jordan Griffin taking on Yusef Zalaal in both these fighters are coming in hot. You expect both fighters to put up a good fight could be an early fight of the night. Cabinet here, Gabe, who do you like? Well, if you guys remember, we were on Jordan Griffin a couple of weeks ago, but his opponent failed to make a wait. So he's been in the bullpen, so to speak, awaiting to get back into the octagon. I actually liked this about Griffin. It's interesting because against Minner, he was like a minus 225, a minus 230 favorite. People aren't so sure this time around. They look at Griffin, they see a 30 year old fighter. They see an 18 and seven fighter and you look at Zalaal comes in seven years younger, Greg. Eight and two record versus a 30 year old with an 18 and seven record. But let's look at who they fought before. You look at Griffin, man. The guy's been in there with Jaskali. He's been in there with Dan Igie. He's been in there with world-class fighters before and no respect against Zalaal. But I think Griffin, I think the experience is gonna be the difference here. Often, it's a young man sport, Greg. That's not to fool ourselves, but sometimes you can be too young. And I think that Griffin's been around long enough in his career that he's not gonna let this opportunity get away from him. He got on Dana White's contender series. He took care of business. He's taken care of business in the UFC as well. I think this is a winnable fight for him. Listen, the matchmaking is great on this card. They're all very evenly matched fighters, Greg. But I think we're getting a fair price on Griffin here. I think his wrestling and his scramble is gonna be the difference. Give me Griffin, very fair price minus 106. As we said, this is gonna be a good fight. Griffin's been waiting in the wings to finally have about 30 years old. He needs a victory. And hopefully at this point, he gets it for us. A good price for Gabe Marensi. And let's get it on. Let's get it in on the Fando Sportsbook. And you know, to me, Greg, I just want to stress the big difference here is like we talk about this. And this is so I'm gonna sort of teach you how to fish and not just give you some fish and chips. Right now, but don't just be fooled by records, guys. You can look at a record and go, oh man, this guy's 12 and two and this guy's 18 and seven. Yeah, who did they fight? You know, a couple of fights ago, Zalal's opponent, Greg, you had a record of one and three, okay? You had a record of one and three. Four fights, one and three. The guy was fighting tomato cans. So yeah, he's got an impressive record. Now he's in here against the guy with seven losses but it's actually fought in real UFC fighters before. Give me Jordan Griffin. Especially, do I want to bet against the guy named Jordan right now? No, give me Jordan Griffin. Let's go. Jordan Griffin certainly know tomato can. He has an impressive UFC fights in his past. We'll see what he can do this weekend. Up next is Kay Hansen taking on Jinyu Frye and Frye. Well, she is the underdog here. Plus 138 at the Fando Sportsbook. We gave you like to throw in those underdogs when going over some of these fights that you're placing your money on. Frye is one of those fighters. I tell you what, Greg, listen, I don't make the numbers, right? I just break down the fights. And I tell you guys on a weekly basis this that when I look at a fight, I'm picking the winner. I'm not betting the number. I find you can get yourself in trouble. You can say, well, you know what? I don't really think she's gonna win the fight or I really don't think he's gonna win the fight but man, it's plus 175. Well, there's no value if the fighter didn't win the fight. So sometimes I'll like the favorites. Sometimes I'll like the underdog I'm gonna be honest. And I respect the odds makers, okay? I don't get the number on this one. I don't really understand the number on this. As far as this fight was made on extremely short notice. So both fighters are coming in here on short notice. Kay Hanson, she's not allowed basically into the casinos after this fight, right? She's 20 years old. She's 20 years old. She's a good fighter. She's a good young fighter. She's fought in Invicta. She's being fast-tracked, Greg. The fact of the matter is due to the pandemic she's been fast-tracked to a deal in the UFC. She's not quite ready for this in my opinion. Like she's 20 years old and it's not like she's nine and oh or something, Greg. You're like, oh, she's a phenob. She's six and three, bro. All right. She's a scrapper. She's tough. She's 20 years old. They're rolling out there and she's ready to rock, okay? But let's not kid ourselves. If not for the pandemic right now and the fact that the UFC, I mean, let's look, Greg. They're using the same fighters every couple of weeks now. They're having a hard time getting fighters into the building. She was willing and able to show up and fight. Now I'm not saying she's coming off the street. She's very talented, but she's 20 years old. Now you're meeting a fighter and fry 35 years old. So do you want the wily vet or do you want the youngster? In the fight game, Greg, there's a difference between being the younger, stronger opponent and just sort of being overmatched a little bit. And I think that, you know, fry is a former champion, man. We're talking about the former Adam Way Invicta champion. We're talking about a woman that's been in there with world-class fighters before. She also has a gas tank, man. She's been in deep wars before. She's gone the distance before in championship fights. To me, the experience is a big, big factor here. And I put some research, so a little deeper research into this fight. I was watching some tape and some old fights of Hanson and a fry as well. I just think fry's experience, I think her stand up or fight IQ is going to be a little bit too much for the 20 year old making her UFC debut. Normally it doesn't end well for kids to make the debut like this. Now you throw in short notice against the former Invicta champion. I don't understand the number here. Give me the underdog, plus 138 and the former Invicta champ. I get it. Normally you want to go with the young phenom, but Kay Hanson's not necessarily young phenom. The record isn't outstanding by any means. And fry, a former champion. Fry is the bet and getting plus money over a fandal. Well, that one is kind of a no-brainer. One last fight we want to talk about and that's Dustin Poirier, the diamond, taking on Dan Hooker. Hooker is a heavy underdog, plus 184, while the diamond's at minus 230. Poirier's got some friendship in him, Gabe. You got to go with him. Yeah, he's got the crazy Cajun. Crazy Cajun. And I'll tell you what, he's not called the diamond for nothing. All right, some fighters don't live up to their nickname. This guy does because he shines all the time. Great fighter, Greg, great, great fighter. You know, I was thinking about this fight and I was thinking to myself, I'm like, Dustin Poirier might be, he might be the best fighter and sort of modern UFC history, let's say over the last like decade that hasn't been a champion before, but I'm wrong. He has been a champion before. He's been an interim champion, but so is everybody else. Where's my interim belt actually? So it's around here somewhere. No, no, I don't want to insult any of the fighters. They're all tough, but he was briefly an interim champ and then he lost the compete after the fact. So whatever, and there's been a lot of interim champs as of late, but Dustin, I'm telling you guys, since the UFC has come back and it came back that first fight, it was against Justin Gaichi and Tony Ferguson and we were all pretty excited for it. To me, this is the coolest fight since then. This is the coolest fight since then. This is great stuff and oh yeah, by the way, Dustin Poirier beat Justin Gaichi, bro. That's how good Dustin Poirier actually is. So you look at Poirier, four and one is last five fights, wins against Eddie Alvarez, wins against Justin Gaichi, wins against Anthony Pettis, wins against Max Holloway. The only loss was to a guy, I don't know, maybe you guys have heard of him before, his name's Kabeep. Oh yeah, maybe the greatest fighter in the history of Miss Martial Arts, Kabeep. So in his last five fights, that's the only fight that he lost. Taken on Dan Hooker. Now I'll tell you what, Dan Hooker, Greg, is every bit as tough as a dude named Dan Hooker from New Zealand would expect to be. You know what I'm saying? Like when you hear it in Dan Hooker, you're like, oh, let me do this guy's piece of work. And in New Zealand, you're like, oh yeah, that's Dan Hooker over there. Dan Hooker's tough, bro. All right, Dan Hooker's a tough dude, seven and one in his last eight fights. And he does have some name wins, all right? He's got a couple of, you know, name brand wins. Gilbert Burns, as we see fighting for a championship right now, he's beaten them. He beat Paul Felder. How about this, Greg? We're busting out some stats and some trends here. This is an incredible statistic and fact. I saw it and I was like, no, really? Let me back this up and it's true. Dan Hooker got into a bloody war with Paul Felder. Great fight, very entertaining fight, last fight, all right? Paul Felder's lost five times in his career, Greg. Every fighter that's beaten Paul Felder has lost his next fight after. Pretty interesting. Five professional losses, five fighters have beaten Paul Felder. They're 0-5 after they play Paul Felder. It's almost like, you know, when teams suck after they play the Baltimore Ravens or the Steelers are all beat up. It's like, I don't know. You fight Paul Felder, you might beat him, but you're not winning your next fight. 0-5, I thought I'd throw that out there. I like pouring already here. Listen, Hooker was sort of a guy that was, you know, like these Aussies and the Brits and the Kiwis. They come in, they're scrappers. They're really game guys. They've got a ton of heart, but they're not the most skilled guys, all right? He was like three and three in the octagon. Suddenly, Hooker's found something, man, and he's been in a real zone. He's sort of, you know, it's that he's hitting his peak right now in his early 30s here. But the fact of the matter is, Poirier is just that good, all right? If not for a Conor McGregor, if not for a Khabib, if not for the elite of the elite of the elite, Dustin Poirier would be a longtime champion right now. He's that good. And to me, he's just in a different class and he has a different level than Hooker. Now, you look at Dustin Poirier, man. He cuts you up fast, Greg. He looks to finish fights fast, man. Like, he looks for finishes this dude. He's an aggressive fighter, but doesn't mean that he hasn't been in wars before, all right? And he has gotten into bloody wars before. And I think we're gonna roll the dice here, man. We saw Poirier and Holloway get into a vicious battle. We saw Felder and Hooker get into a vicious 25-minute war before. Both these guys can finish you, but they both got so much heart. I don't see it happening. I think Poirier is just gonna sort of beat the crap out of Hooker for 25 minutes, but Hooker's gonna show how tough he is. And he's gonna get some shots in, too. We're gonna have a 25-minute battle and we're getting plus 198 that this goes over four and a half rounds, Greg. So give me Dustin Poirier to win the fight and give me over four and a half rounds. And if it doesn't get to the four and a half, it's because Poirier finishes them. We're gonna bet Poirier. We'll also have Poirier in our parlays as well. But I like this fight to go over four and a half with plus 198, nice value there. A tough, tough fight here between two battlers, but he just gave some great stats. Poirier, one of the better fighters in the UFC. That's how it is to anybody, like you said. This is a good battle, one you're looking forward to. Two brutes head to head, but some of those stats, man, five losses for Felder, five opponents that have lost their next fight. That's an awesome stat, man. Taking out one of the bank. Poirier, the guy here that you're betting on, minus 230 at the Fandal Sportsbook, over four and a half rounds. You get that at plus 198. That's it for us here on the Fandal Hurry Up Game. We appreciate it, Tom. Good luck this weekend. Always a pleasure, guys. May the winners be yours. Absolutely. Have a fantastic weekend. Enjoy the fights. We'll see you back here next week for another edition of the Fandal Hurry Up.
