Gippers Picks crafted a thoughtful three-leg parlay focused on fights projected to start slow and reach later rounds. The wagers include Dan Ige vs Sean Woodson over 2.5 rounds, Michael Chandler and Ilia Topuria's fights to start round 2, plus playing the Lopez (Ilia Topuria) main event fight to go over 1.5 rounds, securing a hedge opportunity with a chalky last leg. Gippers highlights that both Chandler and Topuria's five-round bouts will commence conservatively, extending fight length, and maximizes risk management by placing the chalky leg last to allow hedging. This strategy yields a combined parlay at plus 110.

Gippers Picks is highly confident in Jean Silva achieving a knockout against Bryce Mitchell, emphasizing Silva's significant edge in stand-up striking. Silva is described as calculated and patient, waiting for the right opening for his jab or hook combinations. Gippers expect Mitchell might have early success with takedowns in round one, but Silva has strong takedown defense, specifically honed at The Fighting Nerds gym—one of MMA's hottest gyms now. Given Mitchell's vulnerability to power punchers, Gippers is especially enthusiastic about betting Silva by knockout at +120 and specifically via second round knockout for even larger odds.
