Latest line movements are very interesting 

1. Cowan is back up from a heavy favourite to a pickem

2. Nazim is back down to a heavy favourite and Hassanzada is back up to a big dog price

3. Ivan is now a slightly heavier favourite 

4. Cartwright and Jose are dead pickems

5. Ribovics is very slightly less of a favourite at 1.40

Not sure what has influenced these lines but this late I am guessing it's sharp money, not casual betting

Paull vs. Ribovics
-Esteban Ribovics, TKO, R2
-Should be a good main event, first round I see being competitive but after the first it’s over TKO.

Ribeiro vs. Valenzuela
-Iván Valenzuela, KO, R3
-Two fighters looking to scrap should be a war I see it being 1-1 into the third and iván gets the KO.

Cowan vs. Leite (may be boring)
-Cláudia Leite, DEC
-If I had to pick i would pick Leite to win with her grappling and control cowan to a DEC.

Sadykhov vs. Hassanzada 
-Ahmad Suhail Hassanzada, SUB, R2
-with a name like that how could he lose, round 1 he struggles to get the takedown but settles into the fight and subs him late rd2.

Cartwright vs. Johnson
-Jack Cartwright, SUB, R1
-no way Jack doesn’t obliterated Johnson early, I like Johnson’s style but his style has mistakes and he takes risks, I don’t see this going past the first.

-Let’s pray we actually get that many finishes tonight, so DANA doesn’t rage about “Boring Fights” respect to all these fighters who entertain us fans, and I can’t wait to watch them complete.

it's pretty weird how a 10-0 is an underdog to a 14-7 guy, It does show that records don't really matter in this game

I can't get there with Cowan

Anyone who has lost to Brittney Cloudy (and that long ago), I worry about in a Contender Series spot.   Cloudy is athletic but she is super, super raw.  That worries me in this spot.

@thepro not really, Ribovics has beaten far better competition than paull, Jose Zaruz and Javier basurto are far better than anyone paull has ever fought. Not to mention, he can grapple and wrestle well, something paull has a serious hole in. He will probably choose to stand and bang, but he can easily win the fight with one takedown. Finally, he also isn’t deaf, so there’s that. I think he’s gonna crush paull; Ribovics is a talked about prospect and one of the best fighters coming out of Argentina (Mauro mastromartini is up next thank me later) right now, I had never heard of paull until this contract was signed
