I know you like hunting for dogs but don’t force yourself to bet on one. I just wouldn’t be able to put money on Ross or Yair in this situation.

I'm very hesitant to pick Gomes because I haven't seen Jaureguis TDD but she's argueably the best dog on the card IMO.

I mean Istela Nunes only has a round in her and she still managed to drop Jauregui. The converse to that is Gomes went 0/6 and then 3/3 on TDs in her 2 fights so far.

Overall I think the odds on this one are off, which is why Gomes sort of jumps out at me. I was expecting so see Jauregui around -200 or -250. Her being almost -400 doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

What you’re missing there is that nunes, while a bad mma fighter, is a very good striker even by wmma standards. She loses fights because she has no cardio and no takedown defense. When you watch her on the feet she’s actually very sharp. Really good footwork and vicious striking for wmma. She throws dangerous headkicks and has power in her hands. Is it the best look to be getting dropped by her? No but nunes is a much better striker than the majority of women at 115. If anything, it was really impressive to see Yazmin destory her. Nobody has done that to nunes (on the feet) every other loss she’s had is due to her lack of grappling and cardio death. Yasmin not only ko’ed her where she’s at her best, but she did it while nunes was still fresh too. Nunes is a bad fighter, but getting dropped by her isn’t as bad as it looks. Just look at any of her fights, she was sniping Sam hughes until she died

Well said fren. Thats why I think the TDs from Gomes are the potential key to the fight. If she can't keep Jauregui off her feet shes gonna get pieced up. Gomes can strike and she's definitely got power but she's just not as technically sound as Jauregui.

I’m not sure gomes will wrestle at all. She mixed it in against Brasil but gomes loves a good scrap. I think she’s gonna willingly trade with Yazmin. This is really good matchmaking because the ufc pitted two brawlers together. The difference here is gomes I’d a sloppy brawler where Yasmin is much more technical. She oroctects herself well in a firefight and loves to throw back. Gomes seems to improved a little bit, but I can’t get her fight vs dudieva out of my head. That was an extremely bad look

This fight was great but dudieva is a very bad fighter. Gomes should not have had to go through hell and back here. Sure she has dog in her and loves to brawl, but the caveat of that is she is a punching baf. She’s durable & loves to take a punch to give one, but against a sick boxer with power and great counter striking like jauregui, I think she’s in a lot of trouble. Even worse is the fact this fight was recent, only 1.3 years ago

Vitor Petrino . Top 3 in the world

Predictions: 1 of 1 Winners, 0 Perfect, 50 Points | Tied for 5614th

When Petrin won over Anton "The Ragdoll" Turkalj than I saw that this guy will be a great fighter. This fight will show his skills. The fight against the Ragdoll didnt show anything because the bump he met cant fight. But now will Petrino show his skills. Petrino!! Have a great round....

He didn’t look drained at least. Just looks like he was struggling to get to 155

The fights of the night always have a little bit of unpredictability, almost always the winner is pretty obvious, and then there is a surprise. I don't need to remind you of recent women's championship fights, or usman vs edwards. I'm more inclined to the fact that Pantoja will win against Moreno, but in that case, Volkanowski will probably get a flying knee knockout.

Prachnio as a underdog in this fight is kinda good value, he is more experienced and even if not looking like that, really smart in fight.

Does anyone have any definitive opinions on Kirk’s and Menifield’s fights because they seem like the closet fights on the card.

Why does anyone in their right mind think a guy like Dricus who can barely walk straight, no technique, no cardio, bog average wrestling could beat probably the best MMA fighter in middleweight.

Whittaker should be at Bo Nikal odds. This price is a gift. Whittaker ITD one massive play

Anyone who picks DDP over Whittaker. You don't know anything about MMA. Get Gregory to delete your account please.
