AI Picks & Insight - Fight Night: Vettori vs Dolidze 2

Hey fellow degens!

We got a decent lineup this week. Not the biggest fan of Vettori, but I'm hoping for an entertaining fight night. I guess it's harder to complain when it's free.

Quick summary on last week. AI performance was pretty decent, 70% accuracy and ~20% ROI.
Biggest winner for me last week was Gaethje, but the highlight was Ruffy's spinning headkick knockout--unreal.

Enough reminiscing, lets get into it:
[Marvin Vettori vs Roman Dolidze](https://www.ufcbetcompanion.com/event-fighter/2437-Marvin%20Vettori%20vs%20Roman%20Dolidze) - AI went with Marvin Vettori. Vettori hasn't faught since his 2023 loss to Jared Cannonier. TBH don't know what to expect from him, but I never expect much. He's not a fun fighter to watch with the last 5 fights ending in decision. Roman's last fight he knocked out Kevin Holland. The last time these two fought Vettori won by decision. That being said my money is on Roman this fight at +140, I really dislike Vettori.

[Chidi Njokuani vs Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos](https://www.ufcbetcompanion.com/event-fighter/2741-Chidi%20Njokuani%20vs%20Elizeu%20Zaleski%20dos%20Santos) - AI went with the underdog Chidi Njokuani on this one. I think this is a great underdog pick. Chidi has an over 6" reach advantage, stats show that fighters with a 6-8" reach advantage win 60% of the time. Odds have come down slightly in Chidi's favor, but he's still the significant underdog at +170.

[Alexander Hernandez vs Kurt Holobaugh](https://www.ufcbetcompanion.com/event-fighter/2743-Alexander%20Hernandez%20vs%20Kurt%20Holobaugh) - AI went with Alexander Hernandez, and odd movement has been significantly in his favor moving from -165 to -200. Both of these fighters have been leaving it to the judges score cards for their last couple fights. I don't have my hopes up for this one.

[Da'Mon Blackshear vs Cody Gibson](https://www.ufcbetcompanion.com/event-fighter/2744-Da'Mon%20Blackshear%20vs%20Cody%20Gibson) - AI picked the heavy favorite Blackshear currently sitting at -450. Lines opened at around -350, seems like money has been coming in on Blackshear. Cody kinda sucks so this seems like a bet I'll add to my parlay.

[Diyar Nurgozhay vs Brendson Ribeiro](https://www.ufcbetcompanion.com/event-fighter/2748-Diyar%20Nurgozhay%20vs%20Brendson%20Ribeiro) - AI picked the heavy underdog Brendson Ribeiro +295. AI picked Brendson because it's Diyar's debut and stats are not yet available for Diyar. I haven't seen Diyar fight so I'm going to stay away from this one.

[Seungwoo Choi vs Kevin Vallejos](https://www.ufcbetcompanion.com/event-fighter/2742-Seungwoo%20Choi%20vs%20Kevin%20Vallejos) - AI picked Seungwoo Choi, the heaviest underdog AI pick on this card currently sitting at +440. Line moved significantly from the +275. Again, this is Kevin's first fight in the UFC so the AI made it's pick with insufficient data. I haven't seen Kevin fight either so I'm going to stay away from this one.

Hoping for some good fights this weekend. In terms of bets, I'm probably going to be putting some money on Roman and a small bet on Chidi. I might add Blackshear as a parlay to one or both of those.
