Here's a question for all you brains in here like Bananas and L'Andrew. 

Everyone and their mum is picking Gomez against Karolina. But the betting line has not moved an inch. Tell me why?

I love watching all these so called expert cappers and bettors on YouTube, some who actually sell their picks.

Listen to them talk week in week out about how lines move and how they would not play a fighter they think is going to win at a certain price but would have played him at better odds. Also love how they talk about how if the price isn't right they will just play the other side at better value, even though they pick the other guy to win. The best quote I hear thrown around is if a fight goes to a split decision I'd rather have the "plus money ticket". 

Actually no... I'd rather have the winning ticket.

All these narratives like line value etc etc are all made up by yhe bookies and these idiots all just quote them like they made them themselves after 10 years of study and analysis. 

And when you look at their performance every week its like... oh I am down 6 units but won 5.5 units so only down 0.5 units this week. That makes my profit 5 units for the year. Or I have 10% ROI on my money this year.

Vegas is trembling. Idiots.

I'm heavly rooting agaist Adesanya because If Adesanya wins the divison become stale as they're nothing intersting for Izzy, Also he's last 3 fights suck, Seeing him point fight for 5 rounds against Strickland or Hermansson be so ****, I rather see Alex defend the belt agaist Rob, Costa, Vettori etc

At least if Virna raises your kids they will be able to choke anyone out on the ground without actually being able to get it there

Frankie is up to +200 right now. At those odds I gotta bet on him. Gutierrez isn't as good as sandhagen or Vera. He struggled against Felipe colares and Durden who came in on short notice. Danaa also was about to have success grappling in the first round against  Gutierrez

Esparza vs. Zhang
Weili Zhang, DEC
I’m going with zhang but I wouldn’t be surprised if Carla defends her title

Poirier vs. Chandler
Dustin Poirier, TKO, R2
Gotta like both of these guys. I think DP boxing will be on display. Chandler gets hit a lot

Edgar vs. Gutierrez
Chris Gutierrez, DEC
Respect to the og. Bad last fight tho

Hooker vs. Puelles
Claudio Puelles, SUB, R2
*** happened to Dan Hooker

Moicano vs. Riddell
Renato Moicano, TKO, R2
Brad is tough as they come. Still won’t stop him being submitted.

Reyes vs. Spann
Ryan Spann, TKO, R2
Dominic Hasn’t been the same since the Jon Jones fight. I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on Spann. 2nd round tko

Blanchfield vs. McCann
Erin Blanchfield, DEC
Meatball has a lot of hype right now. I think Erin might derail the rain. UD

Kowalkiewicz vs. Juárez
Karolina Kowalkiewicz, DEC
Once a championship fighter. Fell off for a while. New camp new fighter. Kk SD

I'm curious to "hear" by you: why do you think Esparza x Zhang is going end in a decision ?

I see Esparza getting some takedowns, but to mantain Zhang on the ground is something I don't see Carla doing. Considering that Weili won't have to worry that much about Carla' stand up game, I guess Zhang finishes her by the 3rd.

AP is the new Wanderlai Silva

Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 520 Points   |   Tied for 1406th

Serious. AP reminds me of a Columbian Warlord Enforcer NUTBAG with a Machete who would have no problem slicing you apart. I can't wait for him to finally, do what a lot of us have wanted, KNOCK that SH7T eating grin and ****Y IRRITATION Israel into humility and change. He was an amazing fighter, but has fallen away in the last 2-3 years. His Ego seems to be the only thing he has truly worked on. I wanna see AP take him to the woodshed.
