I think Yushi takes this but personally I don't like betting on -900s who are so unestablished. He's beaten 2 guys who were both 0-0 and we haven't seen enough of him. 

I think Inoue + Dodson are the safest picks.

Who are you liking for Cage Warriors my esteemed colleague?

I think Duncan + Bark is a good play to combine with the Bellator/Rizin picks.

The Case and Gustavo fight isn’t happening. Case got a new opponent.

I’m surprised that Case’s new fight wasn’t updated to predict for.

I will admit I haven't looked into the Cage Warriors event at all because for some reason my bookies don't have the odds on it posted so I'm going to go right ahead and step back and let your wisdom and genius take over and bless these bums with your Cage Warriors insight

I'm sorry I should have read the entire conversation, I thought his question related to cage warriors.

90% confident. I see a world where Park somehow pulls off the upset cause she’s decent, but I think it’s super unlikely. Izawa is one of the best atomweights on the planet + she’s already beaten Park once before

I don’t think izawa will lose in rizin. She’s too dominant for anyone they can offer

I just watched their first fight which was like only a year ago and it's kinda hard to judge because of that massive head kick she ate while grounded which i'm assuming in that promotion was illegal?

up until that point she was winning both the grappling and striking exchanges but her performance got a bit shaky after that illegal blow

@baremaras 

The ref took a point so no. 

Park also lost the following round after landing that kick and the eye of Izaka swelling shut. 

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence for her chances in a championship fight in a ring.
