Like I said before the fight, hope Taira gets clipped then livebet. He spiked up to -180 momentarilly for me. Unfortunately didn't get my bet through though.

Bovada are funny. They have Niko Price as -215 ML,  but -225 Double Chance by TKO/KO or Decision.

Herb Dean is way too indecisive. Jason Herzog and Mark Goddard are the only outstanding refs in the UFC now

Yeah he dropped all the way to -115 live on DraftKings when Chairez landed that leg kick and later punch knockdown in the first. I wasn't about to slap either guy at that point, Taira QUICKLY blew back up to -1000.

I am a big fan of Tatsuro but he is going to get clipped one day as he moves up the rankings.  He really needs to work on his boxing especially in later rounds.

Taira's striking defense is definitely lacking. Once he faces someone with TDD it might be time to fade him.

Well if the UFC refuses to put him against at least a mid level fighter it's kinda hard for him to learn.
