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

h3budda: This main event is a no-brainer to stack on this slate. You have the perfect weight division for constant action where you are locking in a lot of volume over 5 rounds (-175 to go to a decision). Even if Cejudo has success with takedowns, there will still be a lot of scrambles for scoring purposes.

Moneyball16: I think this is an easy stack. The fight is not an elite DFS fight, but take the floor that comes from locking in a win and giving you a good chance (-175) to go the full 5 rounds. You can pretty easily fit in the other good cash plays around this fight stack.

Bward586: I suppose you could justify fading Cejudo if you think he’s totally washed at age 38, but that’s not a strategy I’ll be employing. Outside of Cejudo’s age, it checks all of the boxes: a lighter weight class fight that’s likely to go to championship rounds and an underdog that should score well even in a loss thanks to takedowns.

LiamPicksFights: I think this is a stackable fight because of the potential action over 5 rounds. Cejudo took rounds off Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, so I expect him to compete with Song Yadong in this fight. If forced to pick one athlete to roll with, it would be Cejudo.
