TripleTurboChamp Gane's right hand is fine. They asked him about it during the pre-fight press conference. He showed his hand and said, everything is fine. The picture that people have been posting on twitter is just an optical illusion.

Doesn't have to be Pickett surviving 3 rounds, there's DQs and injuries and the puncher's chance as well. All of those have to be dodged 8/9 times in order to turn a miniscule profit of like 1.33% avg (across the 9 bouts), 12% on the one payout.

Edit: So it would go like this (warning math ahead): 1.14 odds (-714). Hits 8/9, profit 8x0.14 = 1.12. Lose the 1 unit on the 9th bout where it falls through. Profit: 0.12u over 9 bets.

If he finishes more than 8/9 and the market is wrong then it becomes more profitable. But any additional profit will only increase the avg profit on that bet from the 1.33% ROI level. So let's say the market is paying out double the actual amount that it should. Then maybe you get a 2.66% ROI. Wow, worth getting a stomach ulcer over.
Just put that money into a more lucrative bet somewhere else.

I don’t know about optical illusion. Gane broke his hand during the tuivasa fight back in september of last year and got surgery shortly after. It’s a boxers fracture most likely and it could be problematic. We won’t know for sure until the fight.

I find it weird to imagine a scenario where Nickal doesn't ground Pickett in the first 20 seconds. But a DQ or NC can happen even from there with some headbutts, injury in transitions, illegal knees or punches back to the head or anything like that. Even as Bo Nickal's mom said in the embedded, he is a wrestler and in wrestling you are not used to taking punches in the head, but in this case even a punch combination or kick attempt may be the way Nickal uses to get a takedown on Pickett.

I also find that very unlikely but as you acknowledged, DQs and injuries if nothing else is also part of the sport. Also these upsets do happen from time to time including against veteran superstar champions like GSP or Amanda Nunes.
Bo Nickal even though he looks amazing is a 3-0 guy making his UFC debut. I just don't think it's long term sustainable to bet at these odds and especially not a guy that hasn't already proven himself in the UFC.

I am newer to MMA and have yet to see Jon Jones fight and wish he is really the goat but he is training with Walt Harris and he padded up with fat just like him.. I'm all in on Gane..

Sure and when Dillashaw was "fine" but said he was hurt fight night. It'll come out and Gane will whine about his hand after he loses.

I think 3 minutes Into the second round JJ gets clipped behind the ear.. gane gets the finish @ 3:10 of the second round via TKO I also believe JJ will retire after this fight

Bets

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 630 Points | Tied for 3097th

Basharat ML + Ricci by Sub or Decision + Ian Garry by KO, TKO, DQ or Decision (Main bet)

Jones x Gane over 1.5 + Valentina x Grasso over 1.5

MLs for this event aren't good tbh. I'm seeing some money coming on Amanda Ribas, so I'll probably take a shot on Araujo ML.

I'm confident about a CLD + Juliana Miller parlay for the next weeks, so I'll go lightly on this card.

I had Ribovics but going against my gut feeling and switching, probably will regret it

Nah Mate, he right, Jiri ended Reyes career, That spinning elbow was just brutal, I don't even think Jan who whoop Reyes up too ended his career, But it would of help as Jan broke his nose and bruse his ribs

Jon Jones didn't do career changing damage man, You just a fanboy of Jones, Being bias makes people say stupid stuff
