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

h3budda: There\u2019s not a lot of value, so it makes the main-event stack in play. You are looking at a fight that is a near pick\u2019em to go 3 rounds. Locking in the safety of 5 rounds on this slate will be important. There should be volume striking over those rounds with some takedown upside.<\/p>\n

Moneyball16: I don\u2019t think either of these fighters are elite cash plays, but I think both are solid cash plays, and I think it\u2019s a stack. It doesn\u2019t have great odds to go the full 5 rounds, but the pace should be fine, and who knows who wins this fight. Just take the floor and move on.<\/p>\n

Bward586: This is a tough spot in that it\u2019s hard to project a solid floor for either man. A quick submission by de Ridder or a quick knockout by Whittaker are both firmly in the cards. That also means it\u2019s hard to predict which of the two will be a cash game must, so rather than take a stand, I\u2019ll be stacking it and hoping for at least one elite score.<\/p>\n

LiamPicksFights: Coming Soon!<\/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
