00:00The Women's Featherweight title, Cyborg against Pacheco, of course, Larissa has been on a
00:08tear right now, won 10 fights in a row, had those early struggles against Kayla Harrison
00:11was a student in the PFL, but then got her in that third fight and has just been tearing
00:15through people since in this organization, going against a legend in Cyborg, who not
00:20only is on a win streak in MMA, but is on win streak in boxing as well, you know, kind
00:25of going back and forth between fights.
00:27Do you think this one just stays on the feed?
00:29Are we looking for a knockout here as well?
00:31Or do we have to, you know, because of the women, sometimes how tough these two are expected
00:35to maybe end up in the hands of the judges and just see who does more damage to get the
00:39victory.
00:40You know, it depends which way you want to go here.
00:42I'm a little surprised the odds are where they're at, because I'm going to take Chris
00:45Cyborg with that underdog money.
00:46You know, Pacheco has, you know, after beating Kayla, she has looked good, but there have
00:51been fights where she's let up a little bit against Julia Budd.
00:54She did lose a round.
00:55She had to win that one by decision against Marina Makdikina.
00:58Same thing.
00:59Neither one of those two women possess the level of anything that Cyborg does.
01:03You know, where Pacheco has been strong is her physicality, her aggression, willing to
01:08take a punch to deliver that knockout one.
01:11Cyborg is a black belt in jujitsu.
01:12Cyborg is a Muay Thai specialist.
01:14So if Pacheco doesn't move that head out of the way, she may get knocked out here.
01:19I think the odds should be flipped.
01:20I think we're getting the value in Cyborg here.
01:22I do not think the age is a factor for her whatsoever.
01:26She has not looked like she's slowed down, beaten any of her competition in combat sports.
01:30So I'm going with the legend and Cyborg here.
01:31I think she gets it done.
01:32Yeah, I agree with you.
01:33When I saw those odds, I was very surprised by them, of course, but it seemed like the
01:37book was baking in the age a little bit too much there.
01:39But I mean, when you're as violent as Cyborg, you're not really taking the abuse that some
01:42of these people are taking at her age in this sport and how long she's been there.
01:46Obviously, she's been fighting for 19 years, but she's been the one hurting, not the one
01:49getting hurt.
01:50So it's something that I think we don't have to worry about the chin too much or anything
01:53like that.
01:54I love that play.
01:55I love getting that value on someone who is a legend like she is.
