Welcome to another edition of the Dogger Pass Podcast. This for UFC Fight Night Apex, I versus Calvio.

Paul Tronise joined in or joined by phone by Cody Saftick coming off of the heels. You know, it's a card that we are picks weren't all that

bad, but Hooper, I mean, we kind of laid out the path for Kiseric to do it. And he's like he just he knew exactly. He's like he's a professional fighter who knows exactly what to do in these situations. So Hooper looked like the 20 year old that he is, but you know onwards and upwards we go. How are you doing this week Cody? Yeah, good. I mean, yeah, last week we went seven and five on the 12 fights. Yeah, I wasn't disastrous, but at the same time, not the same results you are usually are probably accustomed to it this way.

But this looks like a pretty good offering. I know a lot of people are clapping on it saying, you know, the UFC's packing it in there. All sorts of worries about the main event and is it a weak card in this and that but does look like there's a couple of good spots where the odds aren't crazy at the control. Maybe get a couple of safe picks along the way. So yeah, I'm actually excited. Just jump back right back into it. Let's jump right into it right now. Then we have in the main event. We have Jessica, Jessica, evil eye taking on Cynthia Calvio, Jessica, I and Cynthia, covio can both be had a four.

Minus one 10. It's basically been a pick them across the board this week. Cody, why don't you take it away? Yeah, I mean obviously to pick them both sides because either fighter has the capability of winning this contest, just depends who's going to employ the better game plan, I guess. I'm lean towards Jessica, I personally, just because I feel like she's going to have a couple variables going in her favor that might stuff out to the Cavio's, you know, past to getting that win. Namely, so the kind of view is, you know, at 115 pounds, you know, she's a decent wrestler.

She's a scrappy fighter. She got to use the striking, but she never really wasn't 115 like you've washed up to wait cuts coming into the corny side the polio, but telefight.

Remember, she looks like death on the way on the scale. She weighed 118 pounds when the fight in the first round. The corny case, she fights, she makes weight, gases in the third round. The Marina Rodriguez fights, she comes in at 120 or 115 fights. Like, what are you doing? And now she's more or less forced up to 125. She's forced up to 125 against Jessica, I, who's fought comfortably at 135.

Now, Jessica, I had a bad problem back when she was fighting at 135 is that big, strong wrestlers have their way against it. Now it's unfair to kind of say that about her because those big, strong wrestlers include me should take Julianna, pain and ceramic man.

Like that toggle murders role of grapplers at 135, me should take former champion, obviously known for her wrestling and her grappling, Julianna, pain, yeah.

The strongest fighter you've seen was an absolute Mac truck, obviously a good grappler and then ceramic man, the former Olympic silver medalist. So is it fair to say that her blueprint of beating her is just grounding her and being the great let's not even talk about the chef check or fight like yeah, take her straight in the face, like very few people have that capability.

So we just got to base it on just into Calvary or rank among those grapplers, we just talk about no probably not. She's not nearly as big or strong as any of them. She's another credentials as any of them.

So to think that she's going to lean on this game plan is going in there and taking down just guy I'm not so sure.

As far as the striking match goes, I think I got her much better technical boxer and to think of you as kind of like a MMA vagabond at this point right.

She I forget where she started out, but she obviously notoriously ended up at team Alfa male. She's that alpha male for a couple fights and then Justin buck holds is her head coach buck holds, but the alpha male goes back to Alaska.

She also makes some super disparaging comments, but women, them maybe in like women shouldn't fight. They don't have any talent like this is a joke.

Super weird. So she splits from Alfa male and then did a nine week camp, a tiger moiety leading into the marine or Rodriguez fight.

Probably that her striking didn't look any better. I mean, she was getting cleanly outstriked in the outstruck in that fight just before leading on her wrestling.

I thought she lost her first round. I thought she lost the second round, the third round she completely dominate, but doesn't dominate pillar to post dominate some majorities around like 45 seconds left Rodriguez gets up and bang bang.

Cavio is tired again. And that's where I'm getting back to these variables that Jessica I just got to keep this fight saying to win it right.

The one variable there is that she has decent take down defense, but also she's a naturally bigger fighter so that should help also she's got a much better gas tanks in Calvio.

Cavio basically tires out and all of her fights. And I mean, even go back to the Courtney Casey fight right she wins the first two rounds.

She flattled gases out the third round gets outstruck with Courtney Casey the marine or Rodriguez fight she just gets outstruck for the majority of it has that big third round.
