Kalikas opened his line at Circa at -140 for Aspinall when the rest of the market had it at -108 both ways. Kalikas told The Post, “I opened the market -140 when the market was leaning towards Blaydes. I wanted to attract that money on Blaydes initially, which I did. Now sharp support is coming in on the Aspinall side and it is back to my -140 line.” He continued, “It is more potential over credentials at this point.
Kalikas said, “He is falling in love with his striking man. If Blaydes doesn’t implement that gameplan early, he needs to pursue that takedown early and get him to the ground.”
