What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fights in cash games?
Moneyball16: I think the Dvalishvili/Sandhagen fight is an easy stack. It is a big favorite to go the full 5 rounds at -260, and both of these fighters historically have fought at a good pace. If you have a lean on Ankalaev/Pereira, I’d probably run with it and just play the side you like; I will probably just play Ankalaev. He is a strong favorite for only $8,900.
Bward586: The Dvalishvili/Sandhagen fight is a strong stack, though I wouldn’t consider it completely necessary, as there are fighters around Sandhagen’s salary that also make sense for cash games. I view the main event as a “dog or pass” spot thanks to their salaries. Ankalaev hasn’t broken 100 points in his last 9 fights, so he’s unlikely to bury you relative to his price tag. Any Pereira win would be enough at his cheaper tag, though, so if you think he has a reasonable shot, he should be rostered.
LiamPicksFights: I rarely like a main-event stack on first instinct, but this co-main event features two proven DFS commodities who fight at an incredible pace. The fight is heavily favored to go to a decision, and I would not be surprised if the big underdog took some rounds if this fight goes the full 25 minutes. I would rather choose a side in the main event, which is favored to end inside the distance and features two large men with proven KO power.
Which fight are you most likely to avoid and why?
