Dawg this is internet relax man, go outside take a walk, you aint make your life easier if you hate someone on internet rofl

And I am sure Ayy has some mma knowledge than you, 

What's Dana gonna do next? Cancel the faceoffs? Then cancel the fight? "I'm sorry guys but this fight can't happen, these guys are gonna actually fight each other in there"

I'm already preparing for misery and depression tomorrow night. We're gonna see Ferguson get a beating and it's gonna be the saddest thing ever

Chimaev vs. Diaz
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R3
Bounty #1

Li vs. Ferguson
Jingliang Li, TKO, R2
Bounty #2

Holland vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Holland, DEC
Since D-Rod is the reason for the catchweight (signs of not being prepared) I have to go with Holland comfortably

Ferguson literally just face planted 3 months ago, probably the most gruesome KO in recent years and he's already fighting again, Tony's surrounded by yes men and people that won't protect him from himself

ModestMan I don't think they will scrap any fights because of it. They made McGregor vs Khabib happen. I mean.. if they can make that happen, this shouldn't be an issue. Besides, Dana said there will be more security at ceremonial weigh-ins. So we'll see how that will play out

almeida vs turkalj will be firworks!

@duck I think people at a certain point expect him to back up all the **** he is yelling all the time. 

I would say Drod needs more than two weeks to make weight. Maybe that’s why he asked for catch weight. At the end of the day, I don’t think either guy cares about the weight they fight. 

conor mcgregor comes back and fights winner of diaz vs chimaev to contend for the title, calling it now, all scripted as ****

I haven't locked all of my betting picks yet but here are some I feel confident enough to bet some 5 euros on.

E.Reed vs M.Martinez

Elise Reed is UFC level, we have no clue if Martinez is, and she's been unactive for 3 years... Reed is the underdog though, at 2.45! With a 50/50 fight it's still a good odds, but if you consider Reed as a favorite like I do, it's an really good one.


D.Wolf vs N.Dumont

Even really high level boxers would have hard time in the UFC, but Wolf doesn't even look that dangerous with her hands. If Dumont uses kicks and grappling, it should be an easy win. Dumont had tried to adjust her gameplan to her opponents in the past, there's no reason to think she will not this time. She's at 1.25, that's a good odd to boost another one in a parlay.

C.Barnett vs C.Collier

Even though I think Collier is better overall, it's not like he's unbeatable for Barnett who's at 4.30. That's a tremendous odd. Barnett will swing and be dangerous either at first or at times depending on how he uses his gastank, that's enough for me to bet on him with such a huge odd.

I.Aldana vs M.Chiasson

I thin Aldana is better pretty much everywhere, and the good thing about wmma is that it goes to decision way more often and flash KO and Subs happen less often. So out of 15min I think Aldana will prove that point. Odd at 1.57 is a very nice ground for a parlay, I'll probably combine this one with Dumont.



As for the rest of the card, either the odds are too low (lower than 1.20) or the fight is just plain hard to picture when the odds are closer. I'll see what I do with some more research, but if I still have no clue, I'll probably bet on the underdogs on those close fights on paper. On the long shot, this strategy has been good to me so far.

Chimaev vs. Diaz
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R2
Chimaev takes this, would even dare to say Chimaev under 2.5 rounds

Holland vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Holland, TKO, R2
Holland KO/Subb, D-Rod made some huge mistakes aggainst Kevin-Lee and Holland won't let chances like in the Lee fight slip.

Walker vs. Cutelaba
Johnny Walker, TKO, R1
I mean its Johnny for me, he was really decent in the Santos fight and Ion is just to small in the height difference, matter of fact same Johnny form the Santos fight is what it takes to beat Ion, not even an improved Johnny, and Johnny made stated to made some huge changes coming into this fight camp. Johnny underdog pick fore sure

Dawodu vs. Erosa
Julian Erosa, DEC
alright yeah Hakeem is solid and technical and great cardio, but come on man, look at the guys Erosa beat, line is far too wide, fight defentily goes to distance and Erosa is a valuable dogg for me

Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Jamie Pickett, TKO, R2
Last pick is pretty obvivious, both guys are **** and fight not going to distance is the most likely to happen.

My new rule is I will sub to anyone who posts predictions after being involved in the community. Anyone who comes into Tap hawking their predictions gets a downvote and ignored.

Except the teller, he gets ridiculed for the copious amounts of money he's provably lost and just keeps on pretending lmfao.
