I rewatched that Pudilova Vs Aldana fight again, totally forgot about Pudilova's grit, toughness & heart. Those traits are what I appreciated about her back in the day.

Leo Santos and Tybura aren’t bad underdogs if you are a betting man. Edwards and Aldo too

-300 for Gordon is a little steep

I agree Gordon is too steep, I also think Aori is too steep too. I feel that fight will be closer, so I suppose that means I should sprinkle a little on Perrin.

Sometimes I wonder where were the parental figures when raising you.

"I don't like gays." As if every gay man is the same + most gay men I've seen don't go around twerking, its straight men who are comfortable with their sexualities. Why tf you care if a straight dude who fights for a living and is married; getting more ***** than you matters at all. 

Probably why you lose your parents money every week betting on Anthony Smith against Ankalaev or betting Mandy Bohm vs Victoria Leonardo.

 GO GET YOUR MONEY UP N STOP WORRYING ABOUT PPL WHO DONT EVEN KNOW YOU EXIST.

I think there's value in all your dogs except for Rockhold (that'd be a sick parlay win actually), I think he's getting KO'd even if he has his hands up blocking.

I know hes a hazard fighter. But hes honestly better than costa. 

And its not like its +110,     its +225. Which is really good for a guy like rockhold


Name the last time Rockhold was +225. I cant think of one

Unless Costa doesn’t show up I think Luke is getting sent to retirement land

I agree that those odds are definitely intriguing when you consider Luke is usually never an underdog. But in this case I think it’s deserved, skill wise he is better than Costa but the chin reigns over all in this case

Skill wise Rockhold is a far superior fighter & could win if it goes to the ground. But having no durability whatsoever anymore + the age disadvantage I feel all that will go out the window once he gets cracked once

This fight combines two extremes - One who hits insanely hard, and one who cannot take a hit. This has to be game over for Rockhold round one. 

If you really want to go with Rockhold, I would hold out till the last minute because I think you will get more value then.

I love the value on loosa; I think he’s the better fighter and definitely has the better gas tank

I'm never betting Rockhold in 2022, He been retired for 3 years (2019), Haven't won in 6 years(2017), And been KO'd in 3 of his last 4 fight, It's pretty likely he going to look like Gustaffson now, Costa slept him in a round


Also, Paulo is top 5, He no bum either

There is no value in a losing bet.
