I guess by "having a shot" you mean yes, everyone has a chance when they step on the mat. I just don't see either one being able to beat Dake or JB in a best of three series at this point
First, as a world class competitor, I suspect DC and KOT would want to give it a go and let the chips fall where they may. They don't get to the level they are at without that type of mindset. And as someone else pointed out Marsteller took out JB not that long ago.

Second, and I could be very wrong here, but it used to be there were some incentives for placing in the top X (3?) at the trials. I believe both financially and qualifying for other tournaments. That may have changed, but even if it has, I'm sure DC and KOT would like to see where they stack up between all the competitors, not just Dake.

They will have a tough time taking the spot at 65 and 125 but both are achievable. 65kg will be more realistic with their numbers at the weight but 74 also isn’t a certainty

I think Downey is better than Starocci, but is not in shape at all (shocker). Downey won the first 4 minutes, but ran out of gas.
