What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games? <\/p>\n

h3budda: Overall, this is a very tricky slate to build comfortable lineups on. I think you look at the safety of this over 3.5 rounds at -110 and take that floor. You should see volume striking from both guys as long as this fight goes. The real problem is if Taira takes the back early to kill off any scoring ability from Park. I believe you just lock the stack in on this one.<\/p>\n

Moneyball16: It\u2019s not the best 5-rounder for cash we\u2019ve ever seen. It has mediocre odds to go the full 5 rounds, and Park doesn\u2019t have much of a shot to win, but ultimately, I am not seeing a better route in cash.<\/p>\n

Bward586: Taira brings plenty of takedown upside, and we need the salary savings provided by Park, who is a competent enough grappler that he\u2019s unlikely to get finished early. Unless you\u2019re extremely confident in a couple of midrange fighters, I don\u2019t see any reason not to stack the flyweight main event.<\/p>\n

Which fight are you most likely to avoid and why? <\/p>\n

h3budda: Yan\/McGhee \u2013 Both of these fighters are very durable and lack the inside-the-distance odds that you would like to see on this slate. You are relying on volume striking to pay off either of their salaries.<\/p>\n
