To me it wouldn’t make sense if it is a day card because all the fight island cards in July including 251 was a normal PPV time wise

Izzy Rd 4.5, Dec is +200, Izzy UD is +500 (I think I’m going to be looking DEEPLY into this line)
Costa props also provides some interesting opportunities to hedge bets and still make some $: Costa 1-3 is +240 and Costa Rd 4,5, Dec is +500
I was already leaning heavily towards an Izzy win (via Dec) so this looks ******* golden to me. Gonna have do a bit more tape study, but thinking main event will be my main betting focus next weekend. 🤔
