If you going to lay and prey and you lose like Edwards did, I don’t care if you lose because your boring, I want to see fighter take advantage of position better and not stall out position 

Also, Edwards won the exact same decsion agaist Pudilova, she lost on control but won on damage

No doubt it was boring, just damage and strikes there wasn't much of anything from either whilst having all the control time and doing minimal with it, for me that was the only difference in each round and its one of them where if you hold someone down its up to the other fighter to escape the position instead of losing the minutes as they tick along

It's ok man. You don't have to pretend. No need to deny. You can get help. I'm here for you.

There is an empty shed in the back yard. You can move in any time. No toilet facilities, but there is a large bush just there. You're used to squatting so should be easy for you

Bad event to bet, the only interesting odds that i see are from Chepe Mariscal, people continue picking bases on records but styles make fights. Chepe is better grappler and more strong man, he have more loses but he fight top fighters all of his carrier, all his loses are vs UFC fighters. I think Chepe took a UD here.

The only other value bet that i see is Ulberg win and U2.5 rounds + Adesanya Win.

The other fights are very unpredictables.

Adesanya vs Strickland :  Adesanya by late knockout or decision

Kape vs Lipe chuteboxe :  There are levels,Lipe is very young the guy has stamina can withstand a beating or be knocked out

Tafa vs Lane : I like Tafa's punches, lane is kind of messed up, Tafa by ko

Tyson vs Turkaj :  Pedro needs a quick knockout, Turkaj survives the first round and dominates the rest of the fight Turkaj Dec

Ulberg vs Da Un Jung :  ulberg is far superior, bad day for South Korea Ulberg by Tko

Jenkins vs Mariscal :  Good fight and fun, Jenkins is a little superior in all everywhere Jnekins Dec

There's a lot of things to take account of looking at this fight, lots of variabl- Izzy by Murder. At Least Sean wins the Press Conference via "Here's the thing guys".

Tuivasa vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R1
One of them sparks the other, my Moneys on Volkov due to the overwhelming reach advantage, although the Tai fan in me would love to see him get it done.

Kape vs. dos Santos
Manel Kape, TKO, R2
Kape is a ****** beast, props to Dos Santos for taking this fight but i'm expecting a baptism by fire regardless.

Pedro vs. Turkalj
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
Pedro looked meh in his last fight against Mody B, still think he takes this one though

Ulberg vs. Jung
Carlos Ulberg, TKO, R1
We used to have the Korean Zombie. Now we have the Korean Cannon Fodder. RIP Da Un Jung

Mathetha vs. Radtke
Charlie Radtke, SUB, R1
1 Year is not long enough to train to learn to wrestle at this level. Unless Blood Diamond lands a Lucky punch i'm predicting Radtke by Sub

I am not denying Adesanya's fighting skills, but I hate his personality and everything he says and does.

I am praying to the MMA Gods that Strickland gets the job done 👊

Adesanya vs. Strickland
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R3
Bad matchup for Strickland IMO. Pre-Fight Press Conference should be entertaining though.

Tuivasa vs. Volkov
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
Tai is coming off two losses, but I think his small hiatus from the cage should help. He obviously has great power. Not to mention, that the fight takes place in his backyard and he doesn't have to carry the stress of being a betting favorite. Don't blink.

Kape vs. dos Santos
Manel Kape, TKO, R2
Favorable matchup to boost Kape's stock for a future title run.

Mathetha vs. Radtke
Charlie Radtke, SUB
Blood Diamond being on CKB is IMO one of his only UFC selling points. I think he just has too many holes in his MMA game to be successful at this level.

Ez decision If Sean could survive from leg kicks. But I'm not sure Sean's legs can take so many damage

Your not wrong, It just when nothing happen with control, I’m ok with the controling fighter losing as a punishment for not doing more, I want fighter to do actully good grappling and not stall out fight, and punishing fighter will push fighter to be more fun

Sean Strickland, DEC
I GOT A FEELING BRO, TRUST.

Tuivasa vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R3
Swolekov late rounds.

Kape vs. dos Santos
Manel Kape, TKO, R1
Kape R1 KO, if he loses... someone might throw himself off a skysc****r (you know who you are),

Tafa vs. Lane
Austen Lane, TKO, R1
When these guys clash, anything can happen. So why not go the underdog and pretend to be smart?

Pedro vs. Turkalj
Anton Turkalj, DEC
Pedro has not impressed me, THE PLEASURE MAN TOOK JAILTON AND PETRINO TO A DECISION. This man is gonna get his dub.

Ulberg vs. Jung
Carlos Ulberg, TKO, R1
From KOing Nzechukwu through the guard to probably being on a three fight loss streak after this weekend. :pain:

Jenkins vs. Mariscal
Chepe Mariscal, TKO, R3
Call me crazy, I get Trevor "BIG BAWMBS" Peek isn't at all technical (far from it) but Mariscal was landing COMBOS on him, I like him as an underdog.

Mullarkey vs. Makdessi
Jamie Mullarkey, DEC
Coming back so soon after the Naimov loss has be concerned, if Makdessi wasn't 38 I may have gone for him as an underdog. Mullarkey should be long and physically strong enough to edge out a decision.

Haqparast vs. Quiñones
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
Nasrat has beat more durable fighters, more dangerous punchers, only really lost to the top 15 level competition which I don't believe Landon is at the level of.

Mathetha vs. Radtke
Charlie Radtke, SUB, R1
Just because Mathetha trained with Volk, doesn't mean he will fight like him. Otherwise the Crochet boss would be a the MMA GOAT.

Young vs. Miranda
Gabriel Miranda, SUB, R1
I mean... just look at that stache.

Jousset vs. Crosbie

Ha... The Pleasure Man absolutely did not take Jailton Almeida to a decision.  I slammed 5u on Almeida Round 1 for +110 last year.  I know for a fact he got subbed out in the last minute of Round 1.

On paper it looks like the main event could be interesting but in all reality I think it's going to be a boring Adesanya decision just outpointing Strickland the whole fight. I hope not tho I would love to see Strickland walking him down and creating a brawl but it just isn't going to happen Adesanya is on another level when it comes to striking.
