00:00I brought up DeRitter earlier, fighting for the first time since he lost in Vancouver to Allen.
00:05Minus 400 favorite, is it too high?
00:08Is it parlay material?
00:10Or do you think Roman is a live underdog in this fight?
00:16Yeah, I mean, the minus 400 definitely scares the crap out of me.
00:20You know, DeRitter is a really good fighter.
00:23That fight against Allen, you know, that was a really tough look.
00:27He looked like a million bucks in the first round, got the takedown.
00:31Even in the second round, got the takedown and, you know, looked really good.
00:34But then once he got reversed, it was like the gas tank just emptied.
00:38And that's not really something we've come to know from him.
00:41I mean, he fought over in one championship.
00:44He was, you know, a two-division champion over there.
00:47Very good fighter coming to the UFC.
00:49Had a kind of a sluggish start to his UFC, the first fight in the UFC.
00:54But, you know, got the finish in that fight and really has looked good overall.
00:58And I think against DeLidze, who's a guy who I kind of feel like is on the way out.
01:03He hasn't really looked like the same guy he was four or five years ago.
01:08I think DeRitter does get the job done.
01:11I do worry a little bit, though, if he gets put on his back.
01:14You know, DeLidze is a very good grappler.
01:16Is he going to fade again?
01:17Or was there something going on?
01:19I mean, every time you see something like that, you hear talk about, oh, he was hurt, he had staff,
01:23he had this, he had that.
01:24You don't really know exactly.
01:27That was a weird cardio dump in that fight.
01:30So I don't expect to see something like that.
01:32But if he does get put on his back against a good grappler, like, is that just, you know, his
01:37Achilles heel?
01:38But overall, I mean, DeRitter is a big dude.
01:42Fighting at 205, not going to be a problem for him at all.
01:45Probably going to be an advantage.
01:47And I think DeLidze is kind of, you know, like I said, he's kind of on the way out.
01:52Not the fighter that he was a few years ago.
01:54He just seems like that killer instinct's gone.
01:56So I do think DeRitter gets it done.
01:58I like the overs, though.
02:00I think this fight could easily go all three rounds.
02:02They're both really good grapplers.
02:04They're both pretty durable.
02:06So I think this fight goes long.
02:08I do think DeRitter gets it done, though, when it's all said and done.
