Minty Bets and Kevin Iole discuss the upcoming UFC Fight Night card taking place this Sat. July 22 in London, England.
Video Transcript
MINTY BETS: We are going to London for this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night at the O2 Arena. Kevin Iole joins me to give us his pick for the Heavyweight main event. Kevin, you know I love me a good heavyweight bout. We’ve got the return of Tom Aspinall as a minus 450 favorite versus Marcin Tybura at plus 340.
Now Aspinall is known to be a pretty early finisher. Now he’s going up against an opponent who’s very familiar with going to the scorecards in a three round fight. So tell me how you see this playing out and how you’re betting on it.
KEVIN IOLE: Well, I’ll tell you what, Minty. I really like Aspinall as a fighter, and I think he and Sergei Pavlovich are the future of this division. You know, Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic are going to fight for the title in New York in November, but I don’t think either one of those two guys are going to be around a long time. When you look at the UFC Heavyweight Division going forward, I think you’re going to see a lot of Tom Aspinall, a lot of Sergei Pavlovich.
And I really like Aspinall in this spot. I’m going to go ahead and lay the 450 on him to win this fight. I also am going to play the under in this fight. I haven’t seen a number yet, but I think this is going to be a short fight. And I like Tom Aspinall to end this maybe in the first or early in the second round. So depending on what the line comes out on that, that’s what I’ll play, but I definitely like Aspinall to win, and I’ll go ahead and lay the 450 to play him.
MINTY BETS: I like it. Thank you so much, Kevin.
KEVIN IOLE: Thank you, Minty.
