MINTY BETS: We've got UFC Fight Night taking place this weekend at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Here with me is Kevin Iole here to give us his best bets. The main event will be a middleweight bout between Robert Whittaker, a minus 250 favorite versus Kelvin Gastelum, a plus 210 underdog. Kevin, what do you think about this one?
KEVIN IOLE: Well, to me, you know, I-- I-- I see some debate out there. Peop-- some people like Whittaker. Some people like Gastelum. There is no debate in my mind.
I am a Robert Whittaker guy. I have Robert Whittaker, the former middleweight champion, in my pound-for-pound top 10. I think he's a fantastic fighter.
He's a really well-rounded fighter. He has everything you need to be a champion. I think he stops Kelvin Gastelum.
And listen, Gastelum at his best is unbelievable. He's really good, but we see Gastelum up and down. Whittaker is always at a high level and very consistent.
The only time we saw him maybe dip a little bit is when he got knocked out by Israel Adesanya. I really like Whittaker in this fight. I think he finds a way to stop Kelvin Gastelum. I would say in the second half of the fight, so Robert Whittaker, the former champion, by finish in the second half of the fight.
MINTY BETS: Love it. Good luck to you, Kevin.
KEVIN IOLE: Thanks, Minty.
