The main event will be interesting. Both are very accurate distance strikers, but range versus aggression will be the underlying factors that decide who wins minutes on the feet. In practice, Gane could be losing... until suddenly he isn't. Live betting could be wild.

Strike Accuracy Over Expected (SAOE) for the entire #UFC334 card!

SAOE = the percentage-point difference between observed & expected strike accuracy.

That is, Hokit's strike accuracy is +11.9% greater than the average #UFC accuracy of the types of strikes he throws.

Strikers and Grapplers at #UFC334.
Unlike in Abu Dhabi, we have few wrestle-only fighters. And those who excel on the ground are generally also very competent on the feet. Plus, we also have some advanced striking specialists. An expected MSG vs UAE difference.

First look at striking stats for #UFC334 and Josh Hokit definitely stands out for delivering at a furious pace.

Boom. Walker by TKO.

Back to reality.
This one looks like two solid grapplers. But I give the edge to Suarez.

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

Seriously. Why was that a matchup guys? It wasn’t going to end well. Age differential is SO important. I’ll be that guy that always calls it out. It was literally the most important chapter of my book. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

So this one…. a 16 year age differential?
Really, matchmakers? Let’s see what happens. I’m ready to be whelmed. Maybe even over as such.

Tonight’s menu for #UFCVegas124
🍷🥩

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

From a purely striking standpoint, the main event is obviously between Waldo-Acosta the better high volume point striker, and a feast or famine power striker in Walker. Davey Grant also stands out noticeably a high pace of striking... not that I'm backing him. #UFCVegas124

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

Was going to look out for Ko Seok-hyeon this weekend... only to find he's already a -700 favorite. #UFCVegas124

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

The new main event for #UFCVegas124
Superior technical striker Cortes-Acosta against unorthodox power striker Walker in a fight that is unlikely to hit the ground. Waldo is currently a 2-1 favorite.

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

Main event
I love odds-even main events. It’s ok not to have a side.…… but I have to. I mean, I recommend Nolan? Maybe? Not bet.

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

Best trick or treater so far tonight.

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

Graphs for tonight’s #UFCVegas123 card for those not parenting or partying.
Not surprisingly, the numbers really like Luana Santos, and clearly I’m not alone based on steam. Slight lean on Cody Durden as well. Main event another well matched tossup.

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

@spshoot That Bourbon hand grenade is a big one. I’ve become partial to Angel’s Envy after visiting Louisville. Similarly understated is Hudson Baby Bourbon from NY.

@TheRobbeo I forced myself to do a science book palette cleanser after book 3. Now starting book 4 and will likely alternate with non-fiction. It’s already the most fiction I’ve read in a year in decades. Feels too indulgent!

[Fightnomics Reed @Fightnomics]

Ripped through the first three Dungeon Crawler books. Ok, I get it now. It’s like listening to an action packed story/game, rated NC17. Don’t know how on earth it will translate to the screen, but for now I’ll keep going… floor, by floor. #ReedReads
