What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games?
h3budda: This slate has a couple directions to go for cash. You could easily take one of the underdog women expected to go to a decision who could easily outscore the main event stack loser. I would like to take the path of least resistance on this slate by stacking. You are getting a striking affair with -200 to go to a decision. The first fight had a great pace that would provide a nice floor.
Moneyball16: This is an easy stack. Maybe it won’t be super high-paced, but the slate lacks great DFS fights; this one is projected to go the full 5 rounds, and both of these guys have a significant chance to win.
Bward586: These two put up over 100 points combined across their first fight, a 3-rounder in 2023. With this one being scheduled for 5 rounds, that’s roughly a 160-point pace. While it’s no guarantee we see all 5 rounds, the fight is -200 to go to a decision, making this an obvious stack.
LiamPicksFights: I think the optimal lineup could be a stack, or it could be a stand on either fighter, so I would mix in both strategies if you are playing multiple lineups. I think the stack makes sense based on their first fight going to decision and the 5 rounds of scoring opportunity. Both fighters have proven 100+ point upside, and the salaries are playable. If taking a stand, I would click Dolidze on finishing upside.

Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
