This week on MMA Mathletes, we’re stepping away from the UFC since there’s no card and diving into one of the biggest boxing crossover events of the year — Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. We break down the full “Glory in Giza” card, headlined by a heavyweight clash between elite boxing precision and kickboxing power, and try to figure out where the chaos — and betting value — actually lives.

We start with the main event, Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven, where Usyk’s world-class boxing skill, footwork, and experience get tested against Rico’s size, durability, and elite striking background. Then we move into the co-main event for the WBO Super Middleweight Title, Hamzah Sheeraz vs Alem Begić, a high-level undefeated vs undefeated style matchup with serious momentum implications.

On the main card, we break down Shakhram Giyasov vs Jack Catterall for the WBA Welterweight Title — a technical chess match with real ranking stakes — plus Frank Sanchez vs Richard Torrez Jr. in a heavyweight clash between experience and rising power. We also cover Mizuki Hiruta vs Mai Soliman for the WBO Female Super Flyweight Title, Daniel Lapin vs Benjamin Mendes Tani for unified intercontinental light heavyweight titles, and Basem Mamdouh vs Jamar Talley rounding out the featured bouts.

As always, we go fight-by-fight through the entire lineup — digging into styles, matchups, betting angles, sketchy favorites, live dogs, and where the parlay breakers are hiding. We’re two casual fight fans who are degenerate gamblers trying to convince ourselves the math makes sense while everything falls apart on fight night.

If you like honest fight talk, gambling chaos, and breaking down combat sports without the corporate polish, this episode is for you.

This week on MMA Mathletes, the UFC heads back to the Apex for UFC Vegas 117: Allen vs Costa, headlined by a high-stakes featherweight showdown between Arnold Allen and Melquizael Costa. We break down whether Allen’s elite boxing, experience, and top-level competition can shut down Costa’s pressure and aggression — or if Costa crashes the rankings with the biggest win of his career. And of course, what it all means for bets, parlays, props, and inevitable gambling pain.

We also dive into the co-main event between Doo Ho Choi and Daniel Santos, where Choi’s power and fan-friendly style collide with Santos’ speed and explosiveness in a fight that could end at literally any moment. Violence is expected.

As always, we go fight-by-fight through the entire UFC Vegas 117 lineup — breaking down keys to victory, stylistic matchups, live dogs, sketchy favorites, and where the betting value actually exists (if anywhere). We’re two casual fight fans who are degenerate gamblers — overthinking every leg of a parlay while pretending we’ve solved MMA with math.

If you like honest fight talk, real reactions, bad beats, and seeing where the math works (or completely implodes), this episode is for you.

This week on MMA Mathletes, the UFC delivers a stacked pay-per-view with UFC 328: Chimaev vs Strickland, headlined by a massive middleweight title fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. We break down whether Chimaev’s relentless grappling and pressure finally breaks through the elite durability and awkward volume of Strickland — or if Sean turns this into a frustrating, technical 25-minute chess match. And of course, what it all means for bets, parlays, and chaos.

We also dive into a co-main flyweight title fight between Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira, where explosive striking meets high-level grappling control. It’s a true stylistic coin flip and one of the most interesting title fights on the card.

As always, we go fight-by-fight through the entire UFC 328 lineup — breaking down keys to victory, stylistic matchups, sleeper spots, and where the betting value actually is (and where it’s a trap). We’re two casual fight fans who are degenerate gamblers — calling out bad reads, trusting the numbers (sometimes), and trying to build a parlay that actually cashes.
