Immediate reactions and DFS perspective
Moneyball16: “I will probably only be playing Vallejos in cash. Emmett isn’t the worst cash option, but his chances of winning are the 2nd-lowest on the slate, the odds of going the full 5 rounds are only OK, and I expect this fight to be a relatively low-scoring striking affair. “
Bward586: “I’m really struggling to find viable underdogs, so that leads me to wanting some of Emmett (and thus stacking this fight) by default. The underdog Emmett is the card’s cheapest fighter but has been knocked out in just 1 fight since turning pro in 2011. With this fight favored slightly to go over 3. 5 rounds, he should at least have a solid floor – and could potentially sneak into the optimal even in a loss. “
LiamPicksFights: “Bward586 makes a strong case for the stack, but I am selling stock on Josh Emmett, who recently celebrated his 41st birthday. Emmett has only been stopped 3 times, but he has been in a ton of wars, he took a life-altering 5-round beatdown from Ilia Topuria, and he turned in a lifeless effort against Youssef Zalal last time out in a SUB1 loss. I think Vallejos gets the win and likely the KO finish, but I will default to picking a side in this matchup, and I will be underweight on Emmett. “
