What's good, everybody? Welcome into our MMA only episode of the Early Edge. We are powered, as always, by sports line. I, of course, am your leader, the coach. You guys ask for it. And we're going to give it to you. Our guy,

0:21.5

Ian Park, will bring him in just a minute, has been absolutely slaying it. We do PFL. We do Bellator,

0:28.0

UFC. This show, we've got Bellator Friday night, Mohegan Sun Arena. 9 o'clock is the main card.

0:33.8

prelim start at six. You can see all the action within the family at showtime. Then UFC fight night on Saturday from the apex. And I would assume that this may be one of the last cards at the apex as now Vegas and a lot of other cities and a lot of other states are opening up for fans to come. So we're going to see very, very few events at the Apex moving forward.

0:57.0

We got both shows today so we can't waste any more time. Let's bring in the hottest MMA

1:01.7

caper in all of the land. Ian Parker, you can follow him on Twitter at Ian Parker, MMA. How are you today, sir?

1:08.7

I'm good. Love it. Bellator plus UFC. A lot of work. Let's go.

1:13.7

Let's do it. All right. Let's jump right into the Bellator card first. And we have found with the

1:28.6

What do you got?

1:30.2

Yeah, coach, to your point, there just wasn't anything close to that under minus 200

1:35.1

numbers.

1:35.6

So here we're going to do a three-way parlay.

1:37.7

We're going to start off with Valerie Lareda.

1:39.3

Now she is minus 600, and that is why we're looping her in.

1:42.9

This is a showcase fight for her.

1:45.5

It's nothing negative against the other fighter.

1:47.4

This is just someone they believe in.

1:49.2

They want to market her and it's a good stylistic matchup.

1:52.0

So if you want to get value in order to get this partly two plus odds, we toss her in.

1:57.0

Next up, we're going to do Darien Caldwell. This is a guy that has been a top prospect for a while coming off a loss to A.J. McKee.
