00:00We have a fighter making his UFC debut, big favorite, right, big favorite, but we're talking about a guy that's
00:07like a KSW champion in two different weight classes, comes in here fighting on his home soil here in Parnas
00:15against Dan Hooker, but pretty wild to see a fighter making his UFC debut, number one on a main event,
00:24and number two is a minus 550 favorite, against a top 15 caliber fighter at that too.
00:30Yeah. Yeah, it's a really interesting main event here, and we've seen, you know, it's funny because I talked about
00:37three weeks ago, I said both champions don't typically retain their titles. They both retain, but then the next two
00:44cards, you see upsets in the main event, and that's kind of been a trend.
00:49Like, the upsets in the main event is the thing. We are seeing more upsets, and you've got Dan Hooker
00:55here, who, if you go back and you look at his losses, the Michael Chandler loss looks pretty bad, but
01:00outside of that, you know, you got Islam Makachev, you got Armin Sarukian.
01:04He's losing to, like, really dominant, strong wrestlers. He's one of the toughest guys in the division, and, you know,
01:12he's beating guys like Gamra. He's beating guys like Jalen Turner. He can take a beating. That's one thing about
01:17Dan Hooker is he can take a beating.
01:19Parnes does have good grappling. I don't know if he's got the elite grappling that's going to, you know, just
01:25make this an easy fight for him, making his debut here in the UFC. Dan Hooker, to me, is live
01:31in this fight because I know he can get hurt. He can have a bad first round. He can have
01:35a bad first, you know, two rounds and keep fighting. Like, that's kind of what Dan Hooker does.
01:40So, it's going to be interesting to see if Parnes can hurt him, or if he can just take him
01:45to the mat and just kind of, you know, drown him there.
01:48But to me, Dan Hooker's kind of live.
01:50It's the classic example, though, of this fight, isn't it? Parnes could catch him early, right? But the longer the
01:58fight goes, clearly advantage Hooker.
02:00Let's just call it out for it. Because Parnes, and all you can, you know, you got to read between
02:04the lines sometimes, guys, with the lines, but especially with the odds boost.
02:07So, I'm seeing here right now, there's a book they're offering, plus 500 for Parnes to win and over two
02:12and a half.
02:13Yeah, because they know if he wins, it'll be an under two and a half.
02:16Yeah, it feels like it, yeah.
02:18Yeah, yeah, like there's, I'm telling you, like, there's a few sports books where they're boosts, like, you can kind
02:24of read what they think is going to happen from the boost that they're trying to trick you into.
