I lean mcmann. Seems like a good bounceback spot, she is a skilled grappler. Lansberg is hot but hardly dangerous. I think she gets grinded here.
I think an early pinny move from -109 to -156 is strong.

Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R2
JDS was just laying in a hospital bed with a serious infection in his leg. He was there for 8 days. Interviews at the time he was talking about how much money he was losing out on by missing the Volkov fight. Not a good recipe for success vs Blaydes who poses the same kind of problems Cain did for JDS. Now he is older and has more mileage on his body. Blaydes is a problem for any heavyweight not named N'Gannou. This seems pretty straightforward to me. Blaydes via G&P in round 2 maybe round 3. But he eventually wears down JDS to get a stoppage. At the current -250 odds I will be wagering now. It is probably going to raise closer to fight time. Now weight issues with these 2 so betting now is a safe play.

Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R3
Blades relentless wrestler. JDS amazing takedown defense. Less likely JDS wins by volume and blaydes doesn't take him down.
dos Anjos vs. Chiesa
Michael Chiesa, DEC
RDA better striker but smaller. calf kicks galore. Mike has better BJJ. look for Mike's prop for subs.
Espinosa vs. Perez
Alex Perez, TKO, R1
Perez nasty striker. Espinosa is +205
Cifers vs. Hill
Angela Hill, DEC
Hills wins buy volume. Cifers has to win by KO or sub look for fun props. Hill Strong Parlay material
Hill vs. Stošić
Jamahal Hill, TKO, R2
stosic burns out if you survive round 1. hill good all around 1. Hill Strong Parlay material
Lewis vs. Townsend
Bevon Lewis
Look for TKO Prop for Townsend. Current odds on Bevon is -400 Fade the fight
Allen vs. Lentz
Arnold Allen
Allen is underrated. Maybe a 7.5 on every skill set. Fighting Josh Emmett.
Kish vs. Pudilová
Lucie Pudilová, DEC
Lucie=female nate diaz. 6 years younger. Kish better fundamentals.
Jackson vs. Colares
Montel Jackson, TKO, R3
Jackson amazing wrestler. Went MMA when olympics canceled wrestling. Felipe better at BJJ. Maybe Sub Prop??
McMann vs. Länsberg
Lina Länsberg, DEC
Lisa has been active. Sara has been out almost 2 years.
Landwehr vs. Burns
Nate Landwehr, DEC
Nates a great grappler but better Stand up theb Burns. Burns is phenomenal at BJJ but may lose to ground and pound.

Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R4
i kinda like +145 over 2.5 rounds or +120 starts r3. blaydes is gonna respect junior's power and junior is gonna not throw any punches, they both know it's a 5 round fight. in the end though, i think curtis "should" win this fight with his wrestling.
dos Anjos vs. Chiesa
Rafael dos Anjos, DEC
there's a chance chiesa can force a td early and butcher up dos anjos early before riding out the rest of the rounds, but i think it's more likely that he forces a bad position and gets himself punched a few times.
Espinosa vs. Perez
Alex Perez, SUB, R2
feeling like perez can avoid being put on his back for too long and make his time standing count more. maybe he tags espinosa and capitalizes on a desperate td attempt?
Cifers vs. Hill
Angela Hill, DEC
i don't really get the cifers hype, beating an undersized esquibel isn't really impressive nor is a win over viana who has only beaten maia stevenson in the ufc. i'll take hill despite her spotty record.
Hill vs. Stošić
Darko Stošić, DEC
stosic has a pretty bad tank from what i remember, but hill only has 6 fights so it might not matter as much. i'm just skeptical when i see someone 6-0 as a favorite.
Lewis vs. Townsend
Bevon Lewis, TKO, R2
make or break for bevon it seems. townsend's opponents have been pretty bad though so i'll take the guy they wanna build.
Allen vs. Lentz
Arnold Allen, DEC
lentz doesn't like when he's the nail and i expect allen to push the action, in a safe and calculated manner.
Kish vs. Pudilová
Lucie Pudilová, DEC
both on losing streaks, hard to say what'll happen, but justine hasn't fought in 2 years so i'll take lucie. not a great reason, but i guess i'm thinking kish will look kinda rusty.
Jackson vs. Colares
Montel Jackson, DEC
i'm not saying colares is gonna win, but the lines are a little wide here. -700/+500 implies early finish, not a likely decision.
McMann vs. Länsberg
Lina Länsberg, TKO, R2
i'm gonna roll with lina here. partially age/momentum difference and partially the pregnancy layoff for sara. i feel pretty confident that lina can get back up if it hits the mat and sara will likely have to engage in the clinch if she wants a td, not where she wants to be with lina.
Johns vs. Gravely
Brett Johns, DEC
not super impressed with gravely's opponents, no shame for johns in losing to aljo and munhoz. think he plays it safe and grinds it out.
Landwehr vs. Burns
Nate Landwehr, DEC
burns just hasn't been fighting anyone decent since his losses, while nate has been beating what seem to be very decent guys over in m1.

The more I think about it, the more I feel playing Chiesa and JDS as straight bets is the best way to play the last 2 fights. Let's sweep it, pick up 5 units. These fights are not important in the scheme of almost anything. Hand me the keys you ******* **********!

Like, when I see a sultana, I don't think 'oh, there's a nice snack'. I think 'wow, look at that shriveled-up smurf's nutsack of a rotten g****. I cannot believe anyone would willfully choose to eat that thing. Everything that was good about it isn't there anymore. I wonder if sultana fans prefer dead people'.
