lol chiesa? The guy who decisioned Diego, best win is the husk of condit, is 2-2 from his last 4, and wins by sub if he wins at all vs a guy who only loses to elites and has never been subbed?

If chiesa manages to get him to the ground or pinned against the cage, i'm pretty sure he'll grind out a win

lol Lee couldn't get RDA to the ground or fence grind him, and he's ten times the wrestler and grappler Chiesa is. Chiesa was getting controlled by Diego.

Will not happen. Forget about it.

Free money if the lines are close to even on RDA.

I think Chiesa is better than a lot of you guys give him credit for, and I think RDA's best days are behind him.

I really like RDA he's been one of my favorites for a while. But I have a feeling Chiesa is gonna decision him though.

There wasn't. Just because the lottery hit doesn't mean it was a value bet. But you should take all your winnings and bet it on Chiesa.

Well Pinnacle has RDA at -260, that is a 72% win probability, fight is lined nowhere close to even, he prolly will win, but it's not free money. Chiesa has only lost to Lee and Pettis in last five years. MMA math dont work with Lee as that beast is super volatile.

This line is biggest dog of Chiesa career, similar to Gamebred.

I dont really have feel, just trying to figure it out.

Pet peeve of mine is when UFC analysts, not here, mostly VOX losers call a -150 line or even higher, slight fave or some ****. 

-150 is 60% implied win prob 

Big difference between 40% and 60%, I believe its 20%

Some people only think a fighter is a heavy favorite when their money line is -300 or higher.

You do realize that Kevin Lee took him down 6x  in the first three rounds And if he had Mavericks conditioning he probably would have won

lol those weren't real TD's. They consisted off Lee working his ass off to toss RDA who touched the mat with one knee then got up again basically instantly. A lot of work for no result. And RDA has better cardio than Chiesa ever will. If my grandfather had testicles she'd be my grandfather. Lee tried to pull an Usman but he isn't on that level. I correctly predicted that fight BTW, down to the letter, and went exactly the way I said it would. Chiesa isn't a bigger sub threat than Lee. Lee subbed Chiesa's raggedy stick insect ass in one round. ********ed him.

Some other things to consider: Kevin Lee has Power, Chiesa doesn't. Chiesa's TDA is 48% vs Bums against RDA's TDD at 60% against elites--that figure being dragged down by the ten thousands times Usman took him down. Chiesa's striking defense is 51% and Chiesa's own TDD is only 61%, again, against bums. RDA has much less chance of gassing than Chiesa, who is not a grinder, he's an opportunistic grappler.

I'm sorry, but Chiesa isn't a good bet. It's wishful thinking. It's fighting and anything can happen, but there is absolutely no value on Chiesa.
