I like Dricus too....I'm surprised I got him at -140.

I think the flufly win over a gassed out Viera is recency bias.


ALSO. That Tybura chin hasnt been cracked in awhile. Dont forget the guy has a bad chin. Jiarzhino is going to KO him.

Its like Derek Brunson going on that streak and not getting his chin cracked then everyone was on him....then comes The killa Gorilla. Do not forget guys with bad chins have bad chins.

Yeah, Fluffy doesn't have good stand up and not too long ago got crunched by Holland. And if you assume his grappling is his big advantage, he didnt manage to use it against Holland who cant stop a takedown, and then remember how easily Viera was passing guard and chaining submissions attempts before just collapsing. 

The line is jumping every day. Seems like this card is gonna be unbettable if you don't get it in now. Du Plessis went from -140 to -190, Volk -400 to -700. Yan, Khamzat, and even Garry just became huge favorites. I thought I was gonna be able to put a few of them together at like -350 each.

Gastelum said they were working on something. I think they most likely just rebook the matchup but I hope they find a replacement

Goddamn. I had picked Gastelum to win against Imavov but I have no idea who would win in a Holland Vs Gastelum matchup!

Holland vs KG would be fun, a win for Holland gets him ranked at 185 and a loss means he’ll move back down.

Holland would be fun, I like both him and KG a lot so it would seeing one of them lose but it's definitely a fun and fan friendly type of matchup.

Oleinik vs. Latifi
Aleksei Oleinik, SUB, R1
So glad this fight is being saved. It's a legendary matchup, just like Artem Lobov vs Charles "Crazy Horse" Bennett would be.
