Aldo should open up at -300 I don’t see how he loses this in any way shape or form

If it is I’m steamrolling that line; he should be a gigantic favorite, I mean this is the worst matchup for merab on the entire roster. 

Also lol ya that munoz line was free money; never should have been underdog

Dvalishvili will likely be the favorite, he's younger and people love to bet on someone who will wrestle**** their way to a safe victory. I am one of those people, I bet Dvalishvili in a parlay with Blaydes and Maximov because I was in Vegas for those fights, and it hit because they all wrestled to victory after being rocked or nearly KO'd.

There are no safe bets in MMA but you can hedge a little by picking grapplers.

Actually I should recant my previous statement. Merab is the best wrestler he’s faced since Chad mendes so it will be interesting how his tdd holds up, but, I think he will stuff most of the takedowns. Will be interesting how it holds up against one of the best wrestlers in the divison. I’d go as far as to say the best wrestler in the divison imo

Hunsucker is an absolute Bum, gets knocked out by a head kick through his guard, should be easy work for Pedro, ko rd/1

Probably got done cycling off #!@#!@$!@$#!@#!@$@! early so he can roid rage before his expiration come up.
Also I'm changing my pick getting a good vibe on Leon OOZE always was chinny and with all that reach he could get lucky.

Edwards is going to spend 4:35 seconds of every round with Kamaru's sack on his forehead.
