Are you going to place a bet or what?

here at Action Network, predictive analyst and former fighter,

Billy Ward, as well as our projections Kingpin, Sean Zerillo.

Sean and Billy can also be heard every Friday breaking down fight cards

on our UFC betting preview episodes right here on the Action Network Podcast.

Billy, I'm going to start with you here.
