What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games?

h3budda: There’s a lack of fights on this slate and pure value that makes for an easy stack. Additionally, you are staring at a -200 fight to go to a decision. That is a nice floor of striking combined with potential takedowns on each side. You stack and move on.

Moneyball16: I think this one is a pretty easy stack. It’s -200 to go the full 5 rounds, and both these fighters have historically scored at a good pace.

Bward586: There’s a different fight (Goff-Brahimaj) where the fighters’ combined salary is just $15,000, and the very expensive fighters aren’t especially strong relative to their price range. Normally, that would make me want to take a stand on the main event—but on an 11-fight card, there really aren’t 5 other fighters I’m excited to play.

LiamPicksFights: I think stacking this main event makes a lot more sense than most main events. Barber has given up a lot of takedowns in her UFC career, but she has still managed to put up high scores of her own. Both of these fighters have combined for 8 performances with 100+ points (4 each). Both fighters have a high ceiling for significant strikes barring a finish, and Blanchfield could pay off with takedowns and/or control time.
