Kamikaze Overdrive Premium Bet Pack

Parlays & Single Bets

Depending on your betting style, you can select the Hardcore Betting Cluster which employs a betting strategy focussed on straight and 2-leg parlays that limit the risk and offer a decent return based on your financial commitment. If you are willing to take a little more risk and aren’t interested in putting as much cash in play, but still want a shot at a big return- then the Casual Betting Cluster is for you. Playing both of these strategies together is not recommended.

Betting Breakdowns

Deiveson Figueiredo -220 vs Joseph Benavidez +180

• Rematches are tough, especially when they ended the way the first won did.
• Benavidez most likely wins the fight over 5 rounds if that fight plays out, but there was so much potential for him to get hurt/ KOed.
• I don’t think the odds were reflective of how the fight was going, but the fight outcome is clearly influencing the betting line.
• Joe opened around +130 and has been on the move since.
• Silver play on Joe to become the new champion.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Joe is affordable and will have 5 rounds to score points.
• He is also capable of scoring a finish if Figueiredo starts to fade in the latter stages of the fight.
• The money saved here can be spent elsewhere and I expect a lot of people will be backing Figueiredo.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Kelvin Gastelum -110 vs Jack Hermansson -110

• This is my #1 play of the night.
• Hermansson is great when he can land takedowns, but Kelvin is hard to take down and harder to keep down.
• Kelvin has power and the ability to deliver it.
• He will also be looking for a rebound performance after a couple of tough losses.
• The line has moved in our favour from roughly -150.
• Gold Play for Kelvin.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Kelvin throws with solid volume and can finish.
• He is also quite affordable at $8200.
• Hermansson has been finished in all but one of his career defeats.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Marc Diakiese -163 vs Rafael Fiziev +137

• Fiziev has lost some of his value opening around +195, but I still like the return we are getting here.
• Diakiese has looked good in his last 2 fights, but against underperforming opponents.
• Fiziev is aggressive and throws with power and solid technique- something that Diakiese has had issues with.
• This is a solid spot to back the dog.
• Gold Play.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Fiziev definitely has finishing skills and he works at a pretty aggressive pace.
• He should be able to produce some decent points and will most likely be overlooked by many.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Luana Carolina +100 vs Ariane Lipski -125

• This will be a close fight between 2 capable, but flawed fighters.
• There has been very little movement in the line which make sense and opinions appear to be split.
• Lipski needs to be on her game to win this, but I think that will be the case.
• Bronze play for Ariane.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• No Play

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Askar Askarov +170 vs Alexandre Pantoja -200

• Pantoja was linked to the title fight, but I don’t think that will be much of a distraction now.
• Askarov has serviceable boxing, a little more technical than Pantoja which will be key in the exchanges.
• I have this as a close fight and with Pantoja’s pension for giving up takedowns a deciding factor.
• Silva play for Double-A.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Roman Dolidze -170 vs Khadis Ibragimov +140

• I think Ibragimov is almost an auto-fade at this point.
• His first 2 fights were rough performances, to say the least.
• That being said, that appears to be a little bit of money coming in on the Russian to help move the line.
• Dolidze is a little rough but has skills and physical gifts, that is enough for me.
• Bronze play on Roman.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• With the power of Roman and the questionable cardio and fight IQ of Khadis, anything is possible.
• I think we get a finish here.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Grant Dawson -220 vs Nad Narimani +180

• This is at catchweight which should help Dawson who struggled last time.
• Nad might have the edge in striking, but Dawson’s pressure will be his key to success and should overwhelm him here.
• Dawson gets hit a little too much for my liking and that will catch up to him, I am just not sure that happens here.
• We are getting a little more bang for our buck than the open.
• It is a Silver Play for Dawson.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• Dawson is a little too expensive for my liking.
• His pace and potential for a finish is there, but I will pass.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Joel Alvarez +275 vs Joe Duffy -350

• Duffy hasn’t looked good of late and is not worth the price here.
• No Play.

Prop Bet:

• No Play.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Montel Jackson -200 vs Brett Johns +170

• Jackson has looked really good of late, but Johns is a tough test.
• I really liked this bet at the open around -160 on Montel, but the money is moving against us.
• Jackson would have been a Gold play at -160.
• Silver play for MJ.

Prop Bet:

• Montel Jackson to Win by Decision -105
• Jackson is dangerous, but Johns is super tough and went the distance with Munhoz and Sterling.
• I think he can survive here, with Jackson landing better strikes and a couple of takedowns to ear it on the cards.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Amir Albazi -163 vs Malcolm Gordon +137

• Gordon trains very close to where I live so it was hard for me to pick against him.
• He is a good grappler, but so is Albazi.
• What decided this fight was the way Gordon reacts to getting hit and that he has been knocked out 3 times.
• Albazi should be able to exploit this on route to a win.
• He is also fighting at home which is huge.
• Gold Play for Albazi.

Prop Bet:

• Amir Albazi to Win Inside the Distance +175
• As mentioned above, Gordon’s durability is a major question mark.
• Amir has solid submission skills, but his striking is pretty serviceable where this fight most likely gets finished.

DK Lineup:

• As mentioned above, there is a legit chance that this fight doesn’t go the distance based on Gordon’s lack of durability.
• Add him.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Davi Ramos +170 vs Arman Tsarukyan -200

• Ramos struggled in his last fight with an opponent that offers a similar style to Tsarukyan.
• Unless Ramos opens up and starts to push the pace or gets an advantageous grappling position we should expect something similar.
• Tsarukyan has solid grappling defense, superior striking, and better cardio.
• The line has improved a bit from its -230 open.
• Gold play for Arman.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• No Play.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

Carlos Felipe +140 vs Sergey Spivac -170

• Spivac is not great, but I wasn’t impressed with Felipe.
• Felipe has been out a long time which creates some uncertainty.
• He is undersized and appears vulnerable to a grappling heavy attack.
• Spivac should be able to exploit this.
• Bronze Play.

Prop Bet:

• See the Betting Scenario Section.

DK Lineup:

• Spivac should be able to take Felipe down and submit him.
• He is also unexpectedly affordable at $8400.
• Add him.

EPU Candidate(s)

1. Davi Ramos/Arman Tsarukyan

Both guys are pretty tough and their combined skill set will most likely take this fight to the scorecards. I would lean more towards Tsarukyan by Decision, but not strong enough to make it official.

2. Sergey Spivac to Win Inside the Distance +162

Felipe appeared vulnerable to grappling/ clinch attacks on the regional scene and is now faced with a much larger opponent. Spivac has shown he can beat the lower end guys and knows how to use his ground game to do so. This play keeps the GNP and submission options on board.

 icon-circle  icon-circle  

FPO Candidate

1. Roman Dolidze to Win by TKO/KO +160

Ibragimov is a capable, but an extremely flawed fighter. His poor decision making and equally as poor cardio will leave him open to Dolidze raw finishing power. Herman was able to hurt the Russian on multiple occasions, Roman should be able to do the same with even greater impact.

HEF Candidate(s)

1. Kelvin Gastelum -110 vs Jack Hermansson -110

2. Marc Diakiese -163 vs Rafael Fiziev +137

3. Luana Carolina +100 vs Ariane Lipski -125

4. Amir Albazi -163 vs Malcolm Gordon +137
