I think Khamzat Chimaev is the better offensive wrestler in this match.  Usman's best chance is to make it a kickboxing.match.

@Ufcbet 
maybe so but +250 has me willing to bite. I'm not too worried about short notice for conditioning wise he's someone who always stays in shape and it's only 3 rds. short notice for proper game plan and timing is something that's a little concerning but that's why he's +250

Volk vs Islam is the 4th most competive fight on the card according to the bookies, and Volk is a +200 underdog

Never seen a card with more chalk then this, hope they’re some big dogs barking because that make is more entertaining

The obvious corruption in MMA betting and rigging of fights is out of control. A lot of these are trap lines (E.g. Mokaev)

The bookies now do one of 2 things, either make the line on a fighter they are sure will win unplayable, or make the lines so chalky so you have to parlay and put in a very chalky trap line to tempt people to use as a parlay piece to crash these parlays.

The inside info the bookies have is completely unfair, as is the obvious corruption going on in officiating, all because of betting.

The boosting of odds on Adesanya just before losing to Strickland is a good example. The books very likely had inside info and were tempting people to bet him.

Corruption in other sports like boxing, Tennis, cricket and soccer is well known. MMA is now very much a part of this

Silva vs. Magomedov
Sharabutdin Magomedov, TKO, R1
shara too diverse on the feet, bruno silva leaves his chin open for counters and i believe shara is fast for middleweight

Good post @Rah123. 

There is no doubt corruption, I see it each week with NFL refs.  I believe someone once said there is technically "holding" on every play but they will call it if they want to cool off a team or effect the outcome of a game.

All I am saying is be very careful when you bet someone with favourite odds. And watch line movement. I hear so many people complain that they have "missed the value" or "missed the line" when someone gets bet down to a favourite. For me that's the opposite. It makes me think that I am on the right side and that rather having "missed" the value I am dead on the value side.

Anyway no need to tell you, you are a pro already unlike a lot of people here

Pereira couldn't KO Bruno Silva, and he is far better kickboxer than Shara

Silva was never KOed in his career
