Yeah but that's not really my main point. At +900 you're saying you're willing to bet money that Allen doesn't get the nod ONE TIME OUT OF NINE.

Because we all know the judges always get competetive fights right, amirite?

I remained skeptical of Curtis and stayed away from this fight. It should be fun so I’ll enjoy this one.

It's obvious sarcasm, sorry your brain isn't smart enough to understand.

We are in a MMA forum not a Hello Kitty forum. You mf's fall for bait than think you own somebody but end up looking like a 🤡

Curtis is often losing until he wins. Always feels bad to pick him for that reason. I think it's a good stylistic matchup for him though. MAB likes to mix it up in the pocket which Curtis wants.

Barriault always does that kick punch combo. If Curtis gets the read down, he'll get the KO since MAB is kinda chinny

always weird to me to see a fighter have their opponent backed up to the fence constantly and they reset them back to the center...like bro some fighters work their ass off to get that kind of an advantage in a fight lol

MASB is fighting smart though, stay outside and frustrate Curtis.
