I see they have Conor total lined ar 1.5 rounds, juiced to
 over/-140

My first thought was that it was aggressive, I was expecting 2.5.

7.5 minutes? Enough peeps backing Cowboy for me to think Conor is going to have an early highlight finish, and afterwards we will be like duh, he wasn't losing this one.

Maycee total at 1.5 with regular juice. I think it goes over. 

Ode also totaled at 1.5 juiced over, I lean under and Kelleher.

Greene fight totaled 1.5 juiced under

4 fights at 1.5
8 fights at 2.5

If you wanted Osbourne-Kelleher on the PPV, you just got your wish. I completely don't understand that decision.

I hope it's not because they are expecting ode to go highlight real, I'd lose money with that occurrence.

Listen fellas I totally agree with Yusuf vs filli going on the Ppv but realistically on a McGregor card until his fight the most eyeballs they will have is when that prelim card is free and on ESPN connor is connor he will sell the Ppv on name alone it will sell point blank period ... so they keep the much more exciting Maycee barber or filli vs super sqduiq on the FREE ESPN card to get the fandoms that scroll on by late who see these two patient also great fights to go on click order to see what this old McGregor guy everyone is hyping is all about

-360 better striker better grappler by far faced way better competition beaten way better competition

Barber vs. Modafferi
Maycee Barber, TKO, R1

Sodiq Yusuff, TKO, R2
-250 more power more grappling, more technical abilities etc Sodiq should get a KO

Elliott vs. Askarov
Askar Askarov, DEC

@Meers My best guess for the Osbourne-Kelleher  fight going to the main card is the ITD prop of -215. Seems pretty likely someones getting finished. No other reason I can think of.

@Fergboy

I disagree about Pettis being a better grappler than CDF.
