In regards to Henry retiring after his Sterling fight; I don't think that happens. I doubt they give Sterling an instant rematch if Henry wins. Which means that he can fight O'Malley. A title fight against O'Malley equals mucho dinero in that division. I doubt he'll let that opportunity slide.

I don't like taking Henry after a three year layoff. I just don't see Aljo getting him out of there or having the better of the stand up. I hope Henry's gas tank is up to par and that nasty cut or whatever he reportedly got in camp doesn't become an issue in the fight

Xiaonan Yan, DEC
IGNORE PROPS. See value in the Wushu Sanda fighter based on her volume/distance striking. Andrade will have to go grapple heavy and if she cannot get her takedowns, see a clear path for Yan. Considering durability, size, reach, striking output, and recency bias, going with dog at 2.4.

I'm switching over to the Kron Gracie side. While I highly doubt he'll have returned with a stylistic overhaul of his game, I just don't trust Jourdain to do the right thing when they're scrambling, and he can't afford to slip against a grappler on the level of Kron Gracie. And one more thing that people might be forgetting to factor in here is that, while he did lose to Cub Swanson, that fight was a banger, a war. Even though it was much of a veteran-lesson type of fight, it's not like Cub dogwalked him. Plus, his win over Alex Caceres is actually pretty impressive in hindsight. All in all, I just don't trust Jourdain to keep himself completely secure in grappling exchanges, and they're going to grapple eventually.

Tracked for now around 51 events (from last year around March till now), finishes/decisions are at a pretty steady average of 6.5/5.5, finishes to decisions. PPV vs Non-PPV has a difference in decisions, being that PPV's offer on average, +1 decision per card.
Point being, when you handicap a card for betting or for making your tapology every week, I think it's important to think about those averages and pick around them as you're going to be the most consistent in that thought process (the numbers each week and the average so far prove this).
Yes, anomalies exist and there's definitely been cards where it's more finish or decision heavy, but that's exactly what those are, anomalies and things that don't happen consistently. Apologies if this comes off as snide or that I'm trying to attack you or something, I think it's something everyone should know and try to understand, not only you in this instance.
Passionate about the tracking I do and confident saying these things because I see/track it almost every week! It's actually laughable how many times in a card the finishes/decisions or favorites/underdogs come to a means and average out throughout the card to give you numbers that are consistent.
