| 0:20.0 | What's going on, everybody? Welcome in to the Action Network Podcast. |
| 0:24.0 | Today, we have our UFC Fight Night Betting Preview. |
| 0:28.0 | Santos V Hill is your main event at UFC Apex in Las Vegas. |
| 0:33.7 | We get to the main event, of course. We'll get there momentarily, |
| 0:36.6 | also coming up on the pod, which by the way, when we do UFC, it's every Friday |
| 0:41.2 | as the schedule plays out based on the schedule. We come and join you on Friday to get |
| 0:45.2 | you ready for Saturday. Favorite underdog plays? Fight of the night. Favorite props. |
| 0:50.0 | We get a DFS breakdown and also best bets. Sean Zerillo, Billy Ward, |
