What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fights in cash games?
Moneyball16: The odds of Aspinall/Gane going the full 5 rounds are low enough that I’m basically treating it like a 3-round fight. I definitely won’t be playing Gane in cash, and I don’t think Aspinall is a great cash option either against an opponent like Gane, who is durable and encourages slow, striking-heavy fights. The Dern/Jandiroba fight is almost a coin flip to go the full 5 rounds, and either fighter could easily win, so I think it’s a good stack in cash.
Bward586: Tom Aspinall hasn’t had a fight go past 1 minute in the 2nd round in nearly a decade, and his only UFC loss was due to an injury. He has a massive grappling edge over Gane and should pick up the finish in the first round or two, limiting Gane’s ceiling and floor. My plan is to stack the co-main event, which is somewhat likely to reach the championship rounds and be grappling-heavy, while fading Gane in the main event.
LiamPicksFights: I think you have to pick a side in this main event. Aspinall has been an elite scorer in his wins, but his only UFC loss was a 1st-round finish where he scored less than 2 fantasy points. Gane has never exceeded 40 fantasy points in a loss. If you’re looking for a 5-round fight to stack, I’d consider the co-main event instead. Jandiroba has put up 39 points or more in all 11 of her UFC appearances, while Dern has scored as many as 94 points in a 5-round loss to Yan Xiaonan.
