I’m on Cody Durden here vs Josh Van for these reasons:

- I don’t like Van vs a fighter like Durden who is durable and can keep a pace for a full 3 rounds. That’ll be Durdens game plan here, forcing Van into the later rounds where we have seen Van tire out and decline in production and output. Van is going to be looking for a finish in the first, but Durden hasn’t been finished by KO in the first. Durden is more susceptible to submissions and Van has 0 submission wins. There is a reason why this line is closer than it should be when you look at the age difference and win streaks. Take the Vet.

Official Play: Durden Moneyline

Side Bet: Over 2.5 rounds

Hail Mary: Durden by decision
