MINTY BETS: Welcome to Mad Bets everyone. UFC Fight Night takes place Saturday, November 7 here in Las Vegas, Nevada, and it is a light heavyweight bout between Glover Teixeira, a plus 175 [? dog ?] versus Thiago Santos, minus 225 favorite. I'm here with Kevin Iole to give us his best bet for this fight. Kevin, what do you think about this one?

KEVIN IOLE: I love this fight Minty. I mean, first of all, it's just guaranteed action. I mean, both of these guys are fighters who love to come to fight and throw down, and they have the full arsenal of offensive weaponry in MMA, so just that alone is going to be a lot of fun. But what I really love about this fight is the stakes. You know, it looks like the winner of the fight will be fighting for the light heavyweight championship. So this is a super important fight in the division.

Now the winner will get Jan Blachowicz, who has of course succeeded John Jones as the champion. Both of these two guys had title shots at John Jones and came up short. So they're going to get a second opportunity. So that's why I expect fireworks in this one. I like Glover Teixeira. I think he's 40 years old, but his firepower is still there. He showed against Anthony Smith. He has an unbelievable ground and pound. He has that jujitsu game as well. I think Glover Teixeira is the underdog and has a really good play here. I like him to win this fight. I actually like him to win this fight by finish.

MINTY BETS: All righty. Thank you so much, Kevin. Good luck.

KEVIN IOLE: Thank you Minty.
