Edit (4/6): Max Holloway has been declared medically unfit to fit, thus cancelling his lightweight title fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov. After a much scrambling, Al Iaquinta will step in to replace Holloway in the matchup, though the belt is only on the line for Khabib. If DraftKings salaries stay the same and Nurmagomedov is $9100, he should be as close as it gets to a lock in nearly any format, provided the DraftKings slate stays on as planned. -JLEdit: This show was recorded Thursday afternoon (4/5), though unlike the UFC 223 card, most of the content remains in tact. Since then, the Chiesa vs. Pettis, Lobov vs. Caceres and Borg vs. Moreno fights have been cancelled, per the UFC's official statement.
Jon and Jake are back after a long layoff to discuss the implications of Thursday's post-media day altercation for UFC 223 and beyond. Then, the duo proceeds to break down each of the main fights on DraftKings, and offers up some salary relief options for those setting DFS lineups for the card.
