00:00Yeah, really when it's all said and done, that's all it's about is cashing tickets and a classic example of
00:07sort of youth versus the veteran is the main event on this card.
00:13Are you surprised by the number here that that it is such a it's not a pick them, but close
00:21to a pick them with Killian being a minus 140 favorite over Gamrot?
00:25Or are you surprised that that the younger fighter wasn't a bigger favorite?
00:33I'm not. No, I'm not really surprised. I thought the line would be pretty close.
00:37It's it's a really tough matchup. I mean, Saul killed has shown he can wrestle, but, you know, he's fighting
00:44a guy in Gamrot who that's kind of what in the last four or five fights.
00:49That's kind of all he wants to do is he wants to wrestle, take guys down.
00:52He's got very good takedowns. He's got very good control.
00:56He used to be a pretty solid striker. I mean, he is a solid striker, but he doesn't seem to
01:00want to use that anymore.
01:01But this is a situation here where, you know, Saul killed can wrestle himself. Saul killed has, you know, good
01:06striking.
01:07He's got a little bit of size advantage in this fight. He's looking great, but this is a real test.
01:13I mean, Gamrot is a real test. This is the best guy he's fought by a mile.
01:18So, yeah, I don't I think the line should be pretty close.
01:22I mean, Gamrot, if Gamrot gets his takedowns going and Saul killed is only an offensive grappler and not great
01:28defensively, you know, Gamrot Gamrot can do some work in this fight.
01:32But I do think Saul killed is the better fighter.
01:34I do think when they're on the feet, he's the more dangerous guy at this point.
01:38He's the more willing striker.
01:40So I expect it to be a kind of a back and forth affair.
01:43But, yeah, I mean, Saul killed is a rightful favorite, but I wouldn't you know, he shouldn't be a heavy
01:49favorite with the step up in competition here.
01:52And it is a step up and he has fought in at home a lot.
01:57Right. So this isn't a hostile environment at the apex or anything like that, but he hits the road.
02:02You know, you see this a lot with fighters like this where they'll lose, you know, their first fight of
02:07their career, their second fight of their career, and then they just go on an absolute tear after.
02:12And Saul killed is a classic example of this loss, his first ever career fight, and has rattled off 12
02:19wins in a row.
02:22What is Dana White contender series fight that he's rattled off five in a row in the octagon?
02:27And he has fought, I mean, you know, Darius was a nice win for him.
02:31It's not like he hasn't faced anybody.
02:34So this is part of the, you know, the step up in the ladder for him.
02:37But I'm going to go with the favorite here.
02:40And, you know, you look at the total at three and a half in this fight.
02:44How do you feel about that?
02:45The total is three and a half right now.
02:48Yeah, I mean, I feel like it probably goes long, especially if Gamrot has some success early with the takedowns.
02:55You know, up until, I don't know, three or four fights ago, Gamrot was, he did have some threat on
03:00the feet.
03:00He did, you know, we did see him get some finishes.
03:03He got a finish in his last fight, so you got to give him credit there.
03:06He got the arm triangle.
03:08So he is, you know, he is relatively dangerous.
03:11But for the most part, really since he fought Darius probably three or four years ago at this point,
03:17he's just wanted to be a wrestling heavy guy.
03:20He kind of got pieced up in that fight, you know, was not a good look for him.
03:23That was probably one of the worst beatings he's taken in the UFC.
03:28And that's probably why he's gone to more, I just want to grapple, I want to control.
03:33And you have two guys that really their base is grappling.
03:37So I expect this fight to go long.
03:41I wouldn't be shocked if we saw a finish here.
03:43But if we did, I feel like it would be kind of later in the fight.
03:46You know, one of these guys just kind of starts slowing down.
03:50But yeah, I kind of like the overs in this one.
03:52And I think there's a very good chance it goes all five rounds.
03:55Thanks, Jau because there's a very good chance.
