Edit: I don't believe the fix was in for either Colby vs Lawler or Woodley vs Usman. Both have sensible explanations.

That stated, Judges can be bought and/or influenced, and fighters definitely throw and carry fights into later rounds ( deliberately not finishing) in order to manipulate spreads. It's not policeable, and it happens.

You have to be glutton for punishment to lay -1000 with Maycee when you will be waiting for the decision. These props suggest to me it's likely. 

I see props on 5dimes.

 Modaferri / Barber goes 3 round distance +205
Fight won't go 3 round distance -265


Barber wins inside distance -225
Not Barber inside distance +175

I rewatched ode on DWCS. He is very athletic, legs coming from everywhere, submitted dude from back and looks scary if he gets on you. He has 73" reach, Kelleher 64"

Booms last loss came to dude with 75.5" reach out of same pure vida affiliation and Lineker. He has fought and beat tuff dudes. I kind of think he wins here.

Ode was taken down in DWCS, has been submitted and with another loss. He seems like a great guy, but this is a step up, he is dynamic, I just dont know.

I don't want to believe in fixing or fixed fights... I just said it to someone else, I feel guilty, like I'm doing something reeeaally bad & know I shouldn't think about, when I start thinking about fixed fights. But.... A fighter taking a flop. A fighter under-performing, yeah. I don't feel ****** for thinking about that. I could bring up like a few fights that recently happened.

I don’t know how to predict the outcome of the battle at all. When I saw the battle. Michael Johnson vs. Stevie Ray, I get it. That when you lay the enemy on the ground for 2 minutes, you win. Although  lost all 3 rounds.

Touchy Filli has 2" height, 3" reach advantage, been fighting for a long time, Yair only dude to knock him out. I love Kattar and Johnson that he lost decisions, they could out strike but didnt have required power,  from my eye Yusuff has outrageous power. 

I dont see it going the distance, I guess Yusuff will prolly lose if he doesnt knock him out. I like MMA math to suggest Filli has more finishing skill cuz of Moraes matchups, but he doesnt.

but,  Filli has only been dogged 3 times recently, he won them all.

Filli v. Moraes -170
Yusuff v. Moraes -145

The Yusuff line is a bit tighter vs Filli than Moraes, nothing dramatic

Super is going to come out of this night as a big winner imo cuz he has high velocity hands

haha, not at all

I like reading the discussion, lots of grey area to it. Judging is what bothers and scares me the most as a punter, but I have been the victim and beneficiary, so what can you do? drives me nuts, it drives me nuts like betting sports before replay, **** was fixed all the time. Some shady ref from Birmingham completely changing win probability. I can see UFC dudes doing it like pulp fiction, bet on yourself, hell yeah, im into that, but taking a dive? IMO its the fighter at his end of his career that takes a fight he should have declined, not ready, physically or mentally, a shell and it looks like he quit during the fight,I hate those fights.

The older the fighter, the shadier the promotion, the closer you get to the ********

Ode was about +140 in DWCS

Kelleher has been dogged in his last 3.

Lawler didn't mind getting pushed around and outstruck because he's old, worn and never liked being pressured. Same thing with Woodley.

I mean, ****, Tyron had two fights where most of what he did was stare at his opponent and wait for them to engage, Kamaru exploited that. Matchups are a thing.

Having said that, all of Arlovski's current losses were fixed and he's the rightful HW champ atm.

Kelleher may have lost convincingly to Montel Jackson, but he was lined +150 against that beast. Jackson was -580 next fight, and is listed at -570 for his next fight in Raleigh.

I dont know Kellehers deal, dont know exactly why he took year off, but I like this spot for him.
