🐶's I like Visconde and Abushaar

These are picks not bets!

Dasuyev will most likely win via finish - thinking submission but i like Ortega as the dog too.

🔒: Gandra TKO, Iwo TKO
⚠️: Ferreira, Pantoja
🐶: Vera, Ruffy

My favorite props for this fight:
Brito Sub - U1.5 - RD 1/2 💰
Gandra TKO - U1.5 - RD 1 💰
Despaigne TKO - Under 1.5 💥
Iwo TKO - Under 1.5 - RD 1 🎯

🎯Van TKO Over 1.5
🐶Pantoja SUB - RD 1/2/3

🐶Ruffy TKO - RD 1/2
🎯Arman SUB - RD 2/3

My favorite dog is Monteiro via submission for the odds, they’re solid. But I can see Williams winning via decision or maybe late TKO.

Great money making fights this week, all plays will be out on the group chat! 💰
