The whole value thing is a bit over stated. It's more of like "is it worth this risk for this potential return?". But when it doesn't cash you get 0 back weather it was a closer fight than the line indicated ("value") or not. There's a lot of lines that are way wider than they should be but the ones that cash are rare. Like you guys said it's usually used as an excuse for losing bets.

The last card reminded me that the mind can play tricks on you when it comes to betting on the UFC. It was so ingrained in my mind that Gerald would get knocked the hell out based on how many times I've seen him get knocked out and Makhmud Murad's striking ability but then Gerald gets the submission win.
If I don't win this Saturday or some crazy BS happens then I think I'm done for sports betting for a while. I think the only other card I will bet is the Diaz card a few weeks from now but then that's it.
I've had some lucky lucky cards man... I miss them now. Covington vs Woodley was INCREDIBLE to bet on because of how many favorites won in the 1st round, it was the best. Another good card was Usman vs Masvidal 2 once again for the same reason but I haven't had much success since then.

That right there was the best card to bet on exactly one year ago. Look at how many favorites won and how they won. They each won in the first round with how they were expected to win. It was like a gift from the betting gods.
Khamzat Chimaev Round 1 TKO
Randy Costa Round 1 TKO
Johnny Walker Round 1 TKO
Darrick Minner Round 1 Sub
Mayra Buena Silva Round 1 Sub
Mackenzie Dern Round 1 Sub

Vendramini vs. Pimblett
Luigi Vendramini, TKO, R2
Vendramini has the advantage in the stand up and will be able to block any take down attempts. By the second Vendramini will have found Pimblett's chin a few times and finish him. I expect a great fight between these two young fighters, who most definitely will show exponential growth in their skill level from the last time we saw them fight.

@Depmode Randy Costa was a slight underdog that night. Darrick Minner was a Huge under dog that night. Mirsad Bektic was also a huge favorite. Bektic and Laramie were the 3rd and 4th biggest favorites on the card that night. Not all the favorites did what they were supposed too

Where are people getting this impressive footage of Vendramini? The guy is 1 for 11 on take down attempts in the UFC. solid 8% take down ability. His last fight he landed a whopppping 34 strikes in 15 minutes. Other than a big power shot how in the **** is he going to win. He hasn't proven he can take anyone down and he hasn't proven that he can win rounds with volume. He subbed an 0-2 guy 4 years ago. Who's his best win? Ayari who was coming off a 2 year layoff I would have to think. So other than a quick finish from a punch or kick I'm struggling to figure out where everyone's confidence in him is coming from.

@HiDefff I was thinking the same thing. This is definitely a gimme fight for Pimblett. Unless he gets KO'd going for the first take down, he's going to be so far ahead of Vendramini on the ground it won't last long.

I mean a fight is a fight. Anyone has a chance. ask Holly Holm lol. Im not saying he has not shot at all. Just wondering where the confidence is from. Or is it just more of a dislike for Paddy? Which again is fine, but picking against or betting against someone because you dislike them has to be a non profit strategy lol.

Vendramini's grappling didn't look to bad against Zaleski at WW, so I wouldn't think it's unreasonable to think he'd be able to control former FW Paddy. But really, Paddy cut his teeth in CW by using the Big Nog strategy of absorbing a **** ton of punishment before locking up a sub, against middling opposition for the most part, and once he got to fit actual decent grapplers in Bak and Narimani, he got controlled.
They are setting him up with this fight, but anyone with good power and good understanding of BJJ will always be a live dog against Pimblett imo.

Against Zaleski he went 0-5 on take downs and landed 4 SS in 6 mins and 20 seconds. He survived until he was asleep. Stats are weird tho. I struggled to find 5 take down attempts. He was so outmatched in that fight tho. his first take down attempt he was locked in a Peruvian neck tie for a minute then got up and got to a little work. just outmanned too much. His coaches told him in the corner he won the first round too lol He hurt himself throwing a leg kick and then it was night night

Vendramini vs. Pimblett
Paddy Pimblett, DEC
Okay this ain't no walk in the park for Pimblett. I actually think Luigi is a better striker, he's far more dangerous on the feet and has the ability to hurt Paddy. But, I think this fight is won by whoever can establish top control and I think Paddy can do just that. He has better trips in the clinch than Luigi and his submission games and transitions are very very nice. I don't think he gets the sub, I actually think Luigi can hold his own and defend them, Luigi can have success too if he gets the takedowns but I don't see him getting them. His best shot is probably to keep this fight standing and win by KO, but I think Paddy can initiate clinch exchanges and work his trips and grappling

That was a great comment about Yamasaki that was posted by some dude yesterday. I never knew that he has a company that renovates houses and he only reffed MMA fights in his spare time. It really is shocking that a massive company like the UFC would hire Mario for so many years. He was basically a disaster waiting to happen. Why wouldn't the UFC only hire guys who ref full-time? Seriously, hiring a contractor to ref MMA fights? What's next, hiring an accountant as a ref?

Predictions: 2 of 9 Winners, 1 Perfect, 150 Points | Tied for 3169th
Brunson vs. Till
Darren Till, TKO, R2
The outcome of the fight will be quite influenced by Brunson's effectiveness with his wrestling, since if Brunson takes the fight to the ground he will probably wear out Till and get a ground and pound finish in the second or third round. Otherwise Till with his strong striking will probably manage to hurt Brunson standing up. I believe that the fight will not reach the decision for either side and that Till will be able to defend the takedowns and control the fight, also another factor to consider is if Till can finish Brunson if he knocks him down, the past Till scores knockdowns over Wonderboy, Cerrone, Dalby, Ayari and Masvidal, of these the only one who managed to finish was Cowboy Cerrone.
Aspinall vs. Spivak
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
Aspinall has looked amazing in each of his UFC fights, against Arlovski he passed his biggest test in his professional career: in addition to achieving his first finish after the first round when he surprised the Pitbull with a quick back position and rear-naked choke. Spivac despite winning did not look very good against a veteran Oleinik who with a little more tank could have taken the fight. Aspinall has the advantage in speed and striking, I think the English man will probably get the TKO in the first 2 minutes of the fight.
Zawada vs. Morono
David Zawada, TKO, R2
Zawada is a fighter with an interesting career in the UFC: 1-3 with 2 losses by SD (personally I saw him the winner in his debut against Danny Roberts) and despite being knocked out against Li Jingliang, Zawada was close to finishing Jingliang in the first round. Morono is a fighter with a high strike volume, decent wrestling and has wins over fighters like Song Kenan, Max Griffin and Cowboy Cerrone. but sometimes he does not take the punches and I consider that Zawada with the striking and dangerousness of him on the ground when he is on his back, can give one of the upsets of the night.
Rountree vs. Bukauskas
Modestas Bukauskas, DEC
Rountree is very erratic in his performance and usually the cardio doesn't keep him up to speed during the 15 minute fight. Despite losing Bukauskas he looked much more confident in his game in his last fight. They both have the ability to finish, but I think Bukauskas is the one with the best chance of winning on the scorecards.
Vendramini vs. Pimblett
Luigi Vendramini, TKO, R2
Pimblett's strategy relies heavily on his effectiveness in bringing the fight to the ground and Vendramini in his first round against Zaleski demonstrated decent grappling skills. Vendramini clearly has the advantage in striking. He is a difficult pick because against Ziam, Vendramini looks frozen until the third round where he was already very complicated on the cards. But apart from Conor McGregor statistically most of the former champions in Cage Warrios have had a very difficult time in their UFC debuts and personally the Pimblett-Vendramini pairing does not seem very suitable for the English man.

Brunson vs. Till
Darren Till, TKO, R2
Ok let's be completely honest here, 2 years ago Till would've got the KO 1st round easy and it wouldn't have been close. But, he is coming off a long layoff and multiple injuries including a broken collarbone most recently. Also, Brunson isn't as reckless as he used to be a couple years ago and has been fighting smarter. That said, I still can't see Brunson winning this fight. Till will stuff every takedown and clip Brunson eventually. Maybe a decision? But honestly, I doubt Brunson can last that long.

:( so sad about this matchup. I loved Liudvik on The Ultimate Fighter and was rooting for him. But he's not on Shore's level, and he tends to be a slow starter and kinda gas by 2nd/3rd round. I hope they give him another fight after this against someone a little easier.
