Cody Saftic backs Nora Cornolle confidently against Hailey Cowan primarily due to Cornolle's higher striking output and damage potential. Cody notes Cornolle's short, effective punches should visibly out-land and out-damage Cowan, who historically tries to slow fights down through grappling control and clinching. Cody referenced Cowan's previous UFC performance against Jamie Lyn Horth, where she was consistently out-hustled and damaged despite successfully landing occasional takedowns. Given the judging emphasis on damage over control recently, Cody strongly favors Cornolle's striking approach. However, he advises bettors to maintain modest expectations and avoid overly heavy investments due to judging uncertainty but still identifies Cornolle as the logical pick in this matchup.

Cody Saftic expressed concern about betting Hailey Cowan due to her problematic weight cutting issues and reliance on control-based grappling and clinch fighting. Cody acknowledges Cowan might land occasional takedowns and control time, but notes her past inefficiencies at effectively maintaining position or inflicting enough damage to sway judges. Citing her previous fight against Jamie Lyn Horth, Cody highlighted Cowan's missed weight, fatigue, and tendency to be outworked and out-damaged in exchanges. Considering this bout will likely reach the judges' scorecards, Cody emphasized the inherent risk in relying on Cowan's low-output, grappling-focused game plan, especially after another taxing weight cut, strongly discouraging bettors from significant exposure on Cowan.

Paul Shaughnessy supports betting Nora Cornolle against Hailey Cowan, emphasizing Cornolle's stronger striking ability, effective clinch striking, and higher fight engagement as key factors. Shaughnessy contrasts Cornolle's aggressiveness and physicality favorably to Cowan's low-output wrestling-heavy approach, labeling Cowan as a fighter who explicitly tries to avoid active exchanges. Shaughnessy illustrates his confidence by highlighting Cowan's struggles in UFC fights to maintain takedowns and control opponents effectively, citing her recent fight against Jamie-Lyn Horth where she missed weight and still lacked sustained grappling dominance. Despite concerns about Cornolle briefly being taken down by previous opponents, Paul highlights her ability to reverse positions consistently and land damaging strikes. Given Cowan's repeated issues with weight cuts, pullouts, and her minimal UFC presence, Shaughnessy firmly favors Cornolle's higher output and violent, engaged fighting style, making her a clear betting favorite at fair odds (-175).

Paul Shaughnessy considers betting Tresean Gore as an appealing underdog at significant plus-money odds against Marco Tulio, primarily due to inherent skepticism regarding Tulio's overall MMA skill set. Paul identifies Tulio as powerful and violent, yet limited and potentially vulnerable. Gore notably demonstrated glimpses of skill, drawing Paul's interest during Gore's earlier fights on the Ultimate Fighter and his recent submission over previously unbeaten Antonio Tricoli. While Gore lacks high-volume output and suffers from prior injuries, Paul views the large underdog odds (+300 range) appealing due to questioned talent and overall capabilities of Tulio. Paul points out Gore's injury-hampered bouts might have negatively skewed market perceptions about his true abilities. Despite recognizing risks relating to Gore's durability and experience, Paul finds the financial upside in betting Gore as a big underdog worth a modest investment, believing Tulio to be vulnerable enough to justify this play.

Cody Saftic advises strongly against betting Tresean Gore, notably due to Gore's consistent injury history, questionable durability, and extensive inactivity hampering his UFC development. Gore entered the UFC lacking necessary experience, going from a meager 3-0 pro record into high-level competition. Cody lists several significant injuries: a knee injury pulling him from Brian Battle fight, torn wrist ligaments forcing withdrawal from Bo Nickal matchup, and a shoulder injury scrapping a bout with AJ Dobson. Despite a submission win over Antonio Tricoli and Josh Fremd, Cody questions Gore's overall skillset, durability, low striking volume, and questionable gas tank over a full fight duration. With these compounded injuries, frequent layoffs, and minimal chance for improvement at 30 years old, Cody strongly recommends avoiding wagering money on Gore, who has repeatedly demonstrated difficulties at the UFC level due to physical limitations and lack of reliable offensive skill.

Cody Saftic recommends betting on Mitch Raposo as an underdog against Sumudaerji due to several key contextual advantages, despite acknowledging Raposo's past struggles when taking step-up fights. Raposo, still only 26, is a state wrestling champion with a BJJ black belt and holds a significant wrestling and cardio edge according to Cody's analysis. Despite disappointing losses early in his career to high-level opponents like Jake Hadley (where Raposo faded due to poor cardio preparation) and Andre Lima (fought on short notice), Cody stresses that Raposo has shown potential, athleticism, speed, and notable improvements coming off a full camp this time. Conversely, Cody notes significant concerns with Sumudaerji's ability to defend wrestling and grappling-heavy approaches, highlighting Sumudaerji's losses to Matt Schnell, Tim Elliott, and even Charles Johnson—all involving significant grappling exchanges. Considering Sumudaerji has struggled repeatedly against exactly Raposo's style of grinding wrestling, coupled with difficult weight cuts potentially sapping stamina and chin vulnerability, Cody views Raposo at plus money as a strategic value bet worth exploring.

Paul Shaughnessy sees solid value in betting Sumudaerji versus Mitch Raposo due to a clear striking and reach advantage. Despite conceding vulnerabilities against high-level wrestlers like Tim Elliott and Matt Schnell previously, Paul did not find Mitch Raposo's wrestling ability elite enough to fully exploit these weaknesses on tape. Paul specifically cites a decisive eight-inch reach advantage (72” vs. 64”) and substantial height difference (5’8” vs. much shorter Raposo) as key factors favoring Sumudaerji. Additionally, Sumudaerji’s current odds (-170) appear unusually favorable due to recent losses, creating a potential buy-low opportunity. Given the absence of high-grade wrestling threats presented uniquely by Raposo, Paul anticipates Sumudaerji comfortably outstriking Raposo from range, making him an appealing moderate favorite bet.

Cody Saftic strongly supports Michal Oleksiejczuk against Sedriques Dumas, emphasizing critical advantages in competition level, striking ability, and potential significant cardio improvements from working with respected coaches at the Fighting Nerds camp. Cody highlights Oleksiejczuk's long UFC tenure at higher weight classes (205 pounds) against elite competitors like Khalil Rountree (whom he defeated at the age of 22), Ovince Saint Preux, Dustin Jacoby, and Kevin Holland, believing these experiences far surpass what Dumas has faced. Cody stresses Oleksiejczuk's offensive wrestling can exploit Dumas' grappling weaknesses while neutralizing Dumas' limited striking output. Importantly, Cody references a recent interview where Oleksiejczuk explicitly praised improved cardiovascular improvements from his intensive six-week Brazilian training, viewing this conditioning upgrade as addressing what has historically been Michal's greatest weakness. The combination of vastly superior experience, striking proficiency, and a potentially game-changing training camp adjustment makes Michal a clear advantage for betting, according to Cody.

Paul Shaughnessy strongly favors Michal Oleksiejczuk against Sedriques Dumas, highlighting a significantly upgraded training environment with the Fighting Nerds gym in Brazil. Paul notes Michal's consistent weakness historically has been grappling defense and cardio, factors directly addressed through rigorous training alongside elite grapplers like Caio Borralho for six weeks leading up to this bout. He also emphasized the favorable stylistic matchup: Dumas offers no elite grappling threat aside from a single guillotine finish and maintains low output (only two significant strikes landed per minute). Michal boasts offensive wrestling skills, powerful striking demonstrated via victories over Khalil Rountree and Chidi Njokuani, and has superior competition experience versus fighters taller and longer than Dumas. Paul views enhancements in cardio, strategic preparation, and overall conditioning from training closely with Fighting Nerds as pivotal improvements to decisively tip this fight toward Michal, making him a highly attractive betting option at his current odds.

Paul Shaughnessy recommends considering a live bet on Darren Elkins if Julian Erosa engages in early guillotine choke attempts. Paul emphasizes Elkins' exceptional choke defense, noting Elkins intentionally gives his neck to opponents as bait to secure dominant top positions, referenced clearly in fights against Darrick Minner and Daniel Pineda. Erosa's previous success with guillotine submissions might tempt him into this exact trap, potentially resulting in Elkins gaining top position and control. Given Elkins' durability, superior cardio, and grind-heavy style if he attains positional dominance, Paul warns that betting Erosa could quickly become worrisome, and strategically suggests bettors watch early exchanges closely before potentially betting Elkins live if Erosa predictably tries these chokes.

Paul Shaughnessy strongly cautions against Julian Erosa attempting his favored guillotine choke against Darren Elkins due to Elkins' exceptional submission defense and scrambling abilities. Shaughnessy notes that Elkins has never been submitted by choke despite regularly placing himself in seemingly dangerous submission positions as bait to reverse grappling exchanges effectively. Shaughnessy firmly advises against Erosa attempting submissions rather than focusing on striking output and positional dominance. He stresses Elkins thrives on opponents chasing submissions against him—citing hard-fought comeback victories against grapplers like Darrick Minner and Luiz Eduardo Garagorri who fell into his submission-counters trap. Given the stylistic matchup, he sees significant danger and betting risk in Erosa's submission-oriented tendencies, making it advisable to avoid relying on Erosa’s typical submission game plan versus Elkins at inflated odds.

Cody Saftic cautiously favors Julian Erosa against Darren Elkins but warns heavily against betting Erosa at steep -330 odds due to significant durability concerns. Erosa possesses a notoriously questionable chin, historically suffering early knockouts against multiple lower-ranked opponents like Fernando Padilla, Sung Woo Choi, and Devonte Smith. Although acknowledging that Darren Elkins isn't known as a power striker, Saftic emphasizes that Erosa's chin vulnerabilities are severe enough that any fighter poses a potential threat, referring to Erosa's KO losses as reasons for caution. Additionally, he points out Erosa often concedes multiple takedowns, a dangerous trait versus Elkins, whose persistent wrestling and cage pressure could present stylistic challenges. Saftic ultimately believes Erosa's superior striking volume will lead to victory, though the line doesn’t justify risking heavy money with such glaring liabilities.

Cody Saftic confidently supports Chase Hooper against veteran Jim Miller, underscoring Hooper’s rapidly improving striking, relentless scrambling ability, elite cardio, and youth advantage as pivotal. Highlighting Hooper's impressive recent wins, notably against Clay Guida and Borshchev, Saftic notes Hooper's increasing comfort and strategic striking that complements his superior BJJ scrambling game. Hooper's grappling scrambles allow him to reverse unfavorable positions quickly, and his striking output often drowns older opponents through high volume. Saftic recalls Miller’s struggles versus similar opponents with strong ground control like Joe Solecki, who easily took Miller's back. Ultimately, Saftic believes Hooper will dominate Miller through relentless scrambling and pace, though he advises against betting such heavily inflated odds (-900), instead considering prop bets or props focused on how Hooper wins.

Paul Shaughnessy confidently supports Chase Hooper against Jim Miller, underscoring Hooper's significant physical advantages, vastly improved striking, grappling ability, and relentless pace as critical factors. Shaughnessy notes that Hooper has gained noticeable comfort since moving to 155 lbs, highlighted by recent dominant wins against experienced veterans like Clay Guida and Viacheslav Borshchev. Paul emphasizes Miller's historical struggles in high-paced, high-scrambling situations, pointing to Miller's losses due to lower activity and inability to match younger opponents' output. While he finds the moneyline at -900 unappealing, Shaughnessy strongly expects Hooper to overwhelm Miller through continuous scrambles, volume striking, and potentially dominant grappling transitions, recommending Hooper in parlays or prop bets instead.

Cody Saftic strongly advises against betting Virna Jandiroba as the favorite versus Yan Xiaonan, due primarily to Jandiroba's advancing age (36), declining athleticism, and consistent lack of significant striking volume. He points out that Jandiroba wears a knee brace and suggests these mounting physical concerns may diminish her effectiveness in wrestling and scrambles, which have historically compensated for poor striking metrics. In particular, Saftic emphasizes that Jandiroba routinely loses striking exchanges and isn't improving at this late stage. Because he views this fight as a coin flip scenario, he strongly prefers the plus-money side, attempting to exploit potential mispricing and maximize betting value on Yan Xiaonan.

Cody Saftic recommends betting Yan Xiaonan at plus-money odds against Virna Jandiroba, referencing Xiaonan's considerable striking advantages and notable knockout power as strong reasons for optimism. Cody points out Jandiroba's limited striking effectiveness, poor damage accumulation, and heavy reliance on wrestling and control time to secure victories. Conversely, Yan Xiaonan has demonstrated strength and power on her feet, hurting elite competitors such as Zhang Weili and securing an impressive knockout finish of Jessica Andrade. He also highlights Xiaonan training at Team Alpha Male alongside Jandiroba, suggesting familiarity with the latter’s grappling setups and submission entries could significantly reduce Jandiroba's key path to victory. Cody believes Yan's athletic edge, improved understanding of Jandiroba’s grappling attacks, and superior stand-up skills provide significant betting value as an underdog, particularly since she offers higher upside in the context of modern MMA scoring favoring damage impacts.

Cody Saftic cautions bettors against placing money on Virna Jandiroba at -140 odds versus Yan Xiaonan due to concerns over Jandiroba's inefficient striking and limited capacity for damage accumulation. Despite recognizing Virna's exceptional grappling efficiency, utilizing singles, doubles, and sweeps effectively, Cody highlights her glaring weakness on the feet and low striking output, often severely losing in significant strikes landed even in dominant grappling-based wins. Referencing fights against Marina Rodriguez, Angela Hill, and Lupita Godinez, Saftic emphasizes how despite considerable ground control, Jandiroba repeatedly loses striking exchanges, posing concerns under current MMA judging criteria prioritizing damage. Training at Team Alpha Male, Yan Xiaonan has potential insider insight about Jandiroba’s grappling tendencies, which could neutralize Virna's typically effective ground game. Additionally, considering Yan’s notable power, athleticism, and striking superiority, Saftic identifies clear underdog betting value, recommending strongly against backing Jandiroba as the favorite.

Cody Saftic expressed serious concerns regarding Sean Woodson's durability and striking defense heading into his matchup with Dan Ige, viewing Woodson as potentially vulnerable against a powerful opponent. Woodson previously showed troubling signs against lower-caliber opposition like Luis Saldana, getting repeatedly rocked and dropped despite facing relatively less powerful strikers such as Fernando Padilla and Charles Jourdain. Contrastingly, Saftic highlights Ige's established knockout capability, referencing his ability to quickly finish opponents like Gavin Tucker, Andre Fili, and Damon Jackson, as well as score knockdowns against notable tough competitors such as Lerone Murphy and Nate Landwehr. Saftic believes Woodson hasn't encountered a power puncher of Ige's experience level and skill set, raising significant doubts about Woodson's capacity to withstand Ige's notable punching power and speed, creating optimal circumstances to fade Woodson as the favorite.

Paul Shaughnessy sees value in betting the underdog Dan Ige against Sean Woodson, notably highlighting a strong possibility of a knockout finish. Shaughnessy emphasizes Woodson's questionable chin and vulnerability highlighted by fights such as with Luis Saldana, who repeatedly knocked him down. Compared to Woodson's previous competition, Ige has significantly superior punching power, demonstrated through first-round knockouts of Andre Fili, Gavin Tucker, and knockdowns against resilient fighters like Lerone Murphy and Nate Landwehr. He points out Ige's fast hands, crafty striking, and ability to unpredictably catch opponents, qualities that could decisively threaten the tall and defensively questionable Woodson. Additionally, Woodson's inability to consistently implement takedowns against UFC-caliber opponents further amplifies concerns about his strategy against Ige, suggesting attractive betting upside on Ige as an underdog at +145 moneyline or +350 knockout props.

Cody Saftic advises betting against Nikita Krylov, citing serious concerns with Krylov’s recent inactivity, injury history, and unknown training circumstances ahead of his fight against Dominick Reyes. Saftic details Krylov's string of issues, including a two-year layoff caused by withdrawal due to illness and a significant shoulder injury. Further, he highlights Krylov’s ambiguous training situation, reportedly restricted to training partners of questionable caliber and limited media visibility as Krylov has been based in Russia amid geopolitical tensions. Given Krylov’s historical tendency to fade in fights lacking early finishes and Reyes’ ability to capitalize on opponents declining cardio with volume striking, Saftic views Krylov's position as a substantial betting favorite highly questionable, firmly recommending bettors to oppose Krylov at his current odds.

Paul Shaughnessy enthusiastically backs Dominick Reyes as a plus-money underdog against Nikita Krylov. Shaughnessy argues market disrespect toward Reyes is unwarranted, despite previous struggles and a losing streak against tough fighters such as Ryan Spann, Jan Blachowicz, and Jiri Prochazka. He notes Reyes' promising recent performances including an impressive showing against Anthony Smith where Reyes appeared motivated, confident, and assertive, suggesting his mindset and momentum have significantly rebounded. Meanwhile, Shaughnessy highlights Krylov’s concerning long layoff due to injuries, health issues, and uncertainty stemming from geopolitical complications, casting doubt upon Krylov’s readiness and condition. Considering Reyes' strong takedown defense demonstrated against Jon Jones (2-for-9 on takedowns attempted) and superior boxing volume, Shaughnessy finds Reyes significantly undervalued, presenting excellent betting upside at current odds.

Paul Shaughnessy strongly advocates betting Jean Silva to win by knockout, specifically targeting attractive odds on Silva winning via first-round knockout against Bryce Mitchell. Shaughnessy acknowledges Silva's vulnerabilities in defensive wrestling and grappling but points out the strategic awareness of his training group, the Fighting Nerds, who have specifically targeted Mitchell stylistically and aim to keep the fight standing. Shaughnessy's analysis highlights Silva's potent striking power as a potential fight-ending factor early, believing Silva possesses enough striking precision to neutralize Mitchell's grappling by finding an early finish. While recognizing Mitchell's legitimate grappling threat, he remains enthusiastic about Silva's chance for a quick knockout, expecting lucrative odds for first-round knockout props as the week progresses.

Cody Saftic sees compelling betting value in backing Bryce Mitchell based on Mitchell's significant grappling advantage and newly motivated mindset entering the bout against Jean Silva. While acknowledging Silva's popularity, striking power, and fan-friendly appeal, Saftic firmly believes grappling skill heavily favors Mitchell, noting Mitchell's BJJ black belt, strength, and wrestling foundation as serious threats. Additionally, he highlights psychological factors potentially boosting Mitchell's performance, including Mitchell now viewing Silva as an adversary on a spiritual mission, reigniting his competitive intensity and aggression that previously propelled him to victories over skilled opponents like Edson Barboza. Given the substantial line movement toward Mitchell, Saftic stresses the betting public also recognizes these factors, further validating Mitchell as an attractive betting option.

Cody Saftic cautioned bettors regarding Jean Silva's ground game deficiencies ahead of his matchup with Bryce Mitchell, expressing significant concerns due to Silva's defensive wrestling liabilities. Saftic highlighted past performances, referencing fights where Silva was taken down multiple times by Charles Jourdain, a fighter he describes as having poor wrestling skills and who currently competes at a lighter weight class (135 lbs). Silva's subsequent matchups with Drew Dober and Melsik Baghdasaryan were favorable stylistically, as both were striking-based opponents who did not threaten him with wrestling. Saftic emphasized Bryce Mitchell’s grappling credentials, including state-level wrestling experience, physical strength, and BJJ black belt status, stating Silva's striking-focused style leaves him vulnerable against grappling intensive opponents like Mitchell. Furthermore, Saftic criticized market perception, attributing Silva's inflated odds to his charisma and popularity rather than actual merit, urging bettors to closely consider Silva's grappling vulnerabilities.

Cody Saftic believes Bryce Mitchell has a significant advantage over Jean Silva due to superior wrestling and grappling skill. Saftic acknowledges Silva's knockout power but sees him overly reliant on striking and his own hype, lacking experience against top-tier wrestlers and grapplers. Mitchell's clear path to victory is persistent ground control through consistent takedowns and ground positioning. Saftic compares Silva to Joe Anderson Brito vs. grappler Pat Sabatini, highlighting a clear dynamic where the striker must knock out early or succumb easily to ground control. Despite Mitchell's limited training environment concerns in Arkansas, his grappling pedigree is high enough to nullify Silva's striking if he implements his game plan effectively. Saftic suggests Silva is significantly overrated by public perception despite few high-quality victories, creating betting value on Mitchell's superior grappling credentials.

Cody Saftic favors Yair Rodriguez considerably against Patricio Pitbull, emphasizing significant stylistic, physical, and contextual advantages. Pitbull has historically struggled against taller, rangier opponents like Jeremy Kennedy and AJ McKee, largely due to a lack of size at only 5'5". Rodriguez has substantial height, length, and reach advantages, alongside faster striking and superior overall UFC-level competition experience. Saftic expects Rodriguez to exploit distance effectively in Miami's larger octagon setup, utilizing speed, rangy striking, and movement to frustrate Pitbull. Unless Pitbull commits strictly to wrestling—a deviation from his usual fight style—he may find Rodriguez's elusive striking insurmountable. Saftic notes Pitbull lacks a sustained wrestling-heavy game plan, typically opting for powerful striking exchanges. At 37, making his UFC debut and facing elite talent like Rodriguez, Pitbull is likely overmatched in pace, range, and variety of attack, making Rodriguez a strong betting choice despite durability questions.

Cody Saftic believes Michael Chandler has notable betting upside at plus money against Paddy Pimblett, citing numerous favorable factors beyond skill advantage alone. He argues matchmaking favors Chandler, describing Paddy as a weaker, 'McGregor-lite' opponent given to Chandler by UFC partly as compensation for missing the McGregor fight. The bout being placed in Florida rather than Pimblett's UK is also a strong betting factor, providing Chandler with hometown crowd advantage, energy, and motivation. Chandler has proven durability, elite-level experience against fighters like Gaethje, Poirier, and Oliveira, and a well-tested five-round capability. Saftic emphasizes Pimblett's cardio concerns, evident in previous cage warriors bouts like his fight against Julian Erosa, suggesting Pimblett won't handle Chandler's early pressure and late-round stamina. All these contextual advantages make the current plus money line highly attractive to Cody.

Paul Shaughnessy sees significant betting value in Michael Chandler winning late against Paddy Pimblett, highlighting attractive round four (+2800) and round five (+3300) props. Chandler's ability to regain stamina late was evident in his recent five-round bout against Charles Oliveira, where he hurt Oliveira in the last round despite being out for two years pursuing a Conor McGregor fight. Paul emphasizes Pimblett's questionable cardio, notably his fatigue against Tony Ferguson in round three, a substantially older opponent past his prime. Paul points out Chandler has proven his stamina and resilience through wars with elite fighters, including Eddie Alvarez in Bellator, and believes Chandler will push Pimblett to a level of intensity he can't sustain over five rounds. Paul expects Chandler's pace, cardio, and skill advantages to come through late in the fight, making these long-shot late-round finish odds particularly appealing.

Cody Saftic strongly recommends fading Paddy Pimblett against Michael Chandler at plus money, declaring Chandler by far the toughest opposition Pimblett has faced. Saftic critiqued Pimblett's previous UFC performances, pointing out major struggles against weaker opponents such as Luigi Vendramini, Kazula Vargas, Jordan Leavitt, and notably Jared Gordon, who arguably defeated Pimblett. Chandler possesses vastly superior wrestling, striking power, high-level experience against elite UFC competition (Gaethje, Poirier, Oliveira), and proven durability against top-level submission threats like Oliveira. Saftic also emphasizes Pimblett's questionable cardio over five rounds, recommending bettors take Chandler due to his proven resilience and elite MMA background.

Cody Saftic expressed confidence in Alexander Volkanovski defeating Diego Lopez, highlighting superior experience, striking volume, and pace as key factors. Saftic notes Lopez typically starts very strong and poses substantial finishing threat early. However, Lopez's cardio significantly slows as the fight advances, evidenced by his weaker later rounds against Brian Ortega and Dan Ige, who both capitalized in late rounds. Volkanovski excels both defensively against submissions and offensively with relentless pressure and cardio. Saftic also cited Volkanovski's ability to withstand elite submission artists, referencing survival against prime Brian Ortega. Furthermore, Volkanovski returning after a long break post knockout defeat provides ample time for recovery, making it an ideal scenario for a championship-level performance. Saftic supports live-betting approaches but firmly picks Volkanovski pre-fight to regain his title.

Paul Shaughnessy advises betting Alexander Volkanovski live instead of pre-fight against Diego Lopez, anticipating Volkanovski to potentially struggle early before taking control later in the fight. Shaughnessy emphasizes Lopez's extreme early-round danger, highlighting how Lopez nearly knocked out Brian Ortega and landed significant strikes on Dan Ige early. However, Lopez consistently fades after the first five to ten minutes due to poor cardio, evident in his fights against Ortega and Ige. Considering this is a five-round title fight, Shaughnessy expects Volkanovski's superior cardio, resilience, and high-paced fight style to help him dominate later. Due to Lopez's potent first-round finishing potential, Shaughnessy sees in-fight betting advantageous, likely providing significantly better odds on Volkanovski after a dangerous round one.
