Dan Tom revealed that, after initial hesitation, he moved Rodolfo Vieira into his DLP (core parlay portfolio) over Tresean Gore. Slotting Vieira as a "must-have" leg indicates Tom sees enough matchup advantage to justify making the Brazilian a key anchor in his multi-fight parlays for this card.

Madlab Michael Lurato said he is siding with Rodolfo Vieira to beat Tresean Gore yet warned listeners not to chase the juicy submission props. Gore is durable and Vieira still shoots telegraphed takedowns when he tires, so Madlab expects a slow, grind-heavy affair rather than a quick tap. He noted that if Vieira gets stuck on Gore’s hips it is only a 50/50 proposition, but the small Apex cage should let the Brazilian rack up clinch time, top control and win rounds. Lurato ultimately projected a boring 15-minute fight where Vieira does “just enough to win” on the scorecards and advised fading the submission market.

Dan Tom views Rodolfo Vieira as a rightful -220 favorite because Tre'Sean Gore cannot consistently deny takedowns. Tom admitted Vieira’s decision loss to Andre Petroski was a "ball drop" but praised the improved boxing and gas-management shown in that fight; he simply could not out-wrestle another credentialed wrestler. Gore is a different story—Tom calls him "dangerous but fringe UFC level," noting Gore’s losses to Cody Brundage and Bryan Battle whenever opponents could dictate pace. Tom expects Vieira to hit early entries, win top time, and either cruise on the cards or find a submission. Violence props intrigue him, yet Vieira straight or as a parlay leg is his preferred betting angle.

Monk acknowledged Vieira’s late-round gas tank remains a concern but still projects him to run through Tresean Gore. Gore has allowed 11 takedowns in three UFC fights, was guillotined in both of his wins, and just gave up 144.6 DK points to Marcos Tullio. Vieira averages 3.6 takedowns landed per 15 minutes, attempted 20 against Chris Curtis, and owns one of the best pure jiu-jitsu pedigrees on the roster. Monk pointed out Gore’s only UFC victories came via low-percentage guillotines of Fremd and Tricoli, while his losses to Brian Battle and Brundage looked one-sided. With the fight-inside-the-distance prop sitting at –215, Monk expects multiple takedowns followed by a submission and will be overweight in tournaments, slotting Vieira into his cash lineup while largely fading Gore.

Sniper called Rodolfo Vieira at $8.9K his absolute favorite DraftKings play on the UFC Vegas 108 slate. The line sits at –210 for Vieira and –215 for the fight not to go the distance, giving the Brazilian elite win-equity. Sniper noted Gore has surrendered massive fantasy scores—Marcos Tullio hung 144 DK points on him—and has been finished in under four minutes by Cody Brundage. Vieira, meanwhile, averages 6+ takedown attempts per fight, attempted 11 against Andre Petroski, and owns world-class BJJ. Sniper also believes Vieira’s cardio and striking have improved since the “almost died against Fluffy Hernandez” bout, raising both floor and ceiling. He plans to be overweight in GPPs, will plug Vieira into cash builds, and is comfortable all-but fading Gore.

THE MMA GURU predicted Rodolfo Vieira will tap Trayshon Gore in Round 2. Gore was dropped three times and TKO’d by Marco Tulio only four months ago, a turnaround Guru calls "not enough" after that damage. Guru notes Gore’s offense is basically stationary boxing plus a jump-guillotine he used on Josh Fremd, but that guillotine plays straight into Vieira’s world-class jiu-jitsu. He expects Vieira either to finish traditional takedowns or bait the guillotine, pass to side control, and hunt an arm-triangle. Guru pointed out Vieira went three striking rounds with Chris Curtis and arm-triangled Armen Petrosyan, showing both durability and finishing chops. Because Gore has already been finished multiple times and struggles with grapplers, Guru advises a prop on Vieira by submission, especially Round 2 for extra value.
