00:00So how do you feel about the main event then? Because the main event is pretty much in the minus
00:04400 range, minus 380 right now with Medic versus Daniel Rodriguez.
00:11And, you know, there's interesting scenarios in which fighters are out, right? They're out due to injury. They're out due
00:17to contract issues, right?
00:19And, you know, different reasons. Daniel Rodriguez has been out and hasn't fought because he was in jail.
00:26So it's a different, it's a different. I'm curious to like, you know, you know how some announcers handle things
00:34sometimes, Tom, you know, like when they say, oh, you know, he faced a lot of adversity in the last
00:39year.
00:39It's like, no, he was in jail. Are they just going to come out and say, listen, yeah, he was
00:44incarcerated for the last year and this is his first fight.
00:48But so he was in a Mexican prison and, you know, marijuana type stuff.
00:55And but without being stated, he did like nine months and, you know, you can't be training.
01:02And obviously the food in a Mexican prison isn't going to be up to what you need to be to
01:08be fighting a UFC fighter and especially a UFC fighter.
01:12Who's last five fights haven't gotten out of the first round, bro.
01:16Like, you know, like this dude, like he's won four of the five of them.
01:19Rodriguez is a super tough, badass dude.
01:22But you want to talk about tough spots.
01:25It's like, congratulations.
01:27Welcome back.
01:28You're out of prison.
01:29We've got a job for you still here, but you're going to Serbia to fight the Serbian.
01:34And oh, yeah, by the way, none of his fights get out of the first round.
01:38What's your take on this fight?
01:40Yeah, this fight, it scares the crap out of me because the last Daniel Rodriguez fight against Kevin Holland, I
01:47had parlays that finished from the Xfinity race that day.
01:52I had parlays finished from earlier in the fight.
01:55All Kevin Holland.
01:57I had like 20 units sitting there on Kevin Holland.
02:01I made parlays.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah.
02:03And I had it all set.
02:05I was all good to go.
02:06And just before the fight, I said, man, I should probably throw a little bit of something on D-Rod.
02:12And I was like, no, no shot.
02:14This guy's not winning this fight.
02:16He comes out here.
02:17It's Kevin Holland right off the bat.
02:19Kevin Holland had him dead to rights in the third round.
02:21Could have had him finished.
02:22You know, I could have scraped.
02:24You know, I wouldn't have scraped.
02:26I would have crushed.
02:26But I would have avoided, you know, the chaos of not hedging when I should have absolutely hedged.
02:34And he was able to survive.
02:36It was the most that I had potential to win that I didn't hedge.
02:42I didn't do anything.
02:42And it all went by the wayside because, you know, Kevin Holland is Kevin Holland.
02:47And I knew better.
02:49That's Kevin Holland.
02:50I knew better.
02:51But I still, I didn't go with the hedge, which would have been so easy.
02:57So, D-Rod, I mean, he's dangerous.
02:59I mean, he does have a good reach.
03:01He's got good size.
03:02He's got good striking.
03:03He has some power, which, you know, Medich has been cracked in the past.
03:07And the chin is kind of, you know, can be questionable.
03:10But overall, I mean, I think Medich is, you know, the much more dangerous guy.
03:14He's got a nice little run.
03:16He should get this win.
03:19But like I said, I'm scarred.
03:20I'm scarred from that last D-Rod fight.
03:23But I think Medich wins this fight.
03:24I think he probably puts him away.
03:26If he's got D-Rod hurt, like Kevin Holland had him hurt late in the third round where he's completely
03:32cooked,
03:33I think Medich puts him away.
03:35So, you know, I can trust Medich fight IQ a little bit more than Kevin Holland.
03:40And Kevin Holland has one of the worst fight IQs, you know, in the game.
03:44So, yeah, Medich, I think, wins this fight.
03:46I think he puts him away.
03:48And, yeah, I'm just – if it gets to that fight where I've got a couple parlays that could cash,
03:52I will be hedging a little bit on D-Rod.
03:55But, yeah, I think Medich gets the job done here.
