Nate and Shawn disagree sharply on Josh Hokic vs. Derrick Lewis — Nate is bullish on Hokic after his Curtis Blaydes win, while the crew leans Lewis. Ilia Topuria is unanimously picked to smoke Justin Gaethje in the main event, despite genuine affection for Gaethje. The segment closes with the PrizePicks code DRENCH for $50 in lineups on a $5 first play.
