GRANT BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+375) on the 5-way line is a tremendous value, and it should not be passed up. In addition, going with UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (+100) at even money is also a decent play, and you do not have to specify a winner there. Also, play NO (-120): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? for a win.
