I don’t understand why Ismagulov vs Grant is at pick em odds. Think it’s a great matchup for Ismagulov, definitely a bet for me.

Ismael Bonfim, TKO, R2
bonfim is going to flatline denis denis cant eat those shots

Ruziboev vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R1
should be a fun fight i dont think ruziboevs record indicates his actual skill level tho

Lee vs. Fakhretdinov
Kevin Lee, DEC
i dont trust rinat as he has never faced a wrestler lee has lost to the very best and is a very aggressive fighter he always has an explosive first round i think he can win a split

Santos vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
ehh not confident in either but i at least think yanas clinch work will win over judges more

Petrović vs. Carolina
Luana Carolina, DEC
idk petrovic only picking luana cause i dont see her get taken down alot

Brito vs. Wilson
Joanderson Brito, SUB, R1
brito club and sub incoming give this dude a challenge

Romanov vs. Ivanov
Blagoy Ivanov, TKO, R2
i think blagoys size wil help him keep this fight standing and romanov has no hands and doesnt like being hit

Kutateladze vs. Brener
Guram Kutateladze, TKO, R3
brenner gasses late and guram uses his striking to finish the fight

Strickland vs. Magomedov
Abus Magomedov, TKO, R2
Can't stand this trash, talks like he's a psycho and loves to hurt people and fights like a ***** hopefully Abus sleeps him worse than Pereria but that's unlikely

Ismagulov vs. Dawson
Grant Dawson, DEC
I honestly don't get why people are so high on Imagulov, he hasn't impressed me much in his ufc career so far, he did pretty good against guram tho but Guram should've won that fight, he also also got koed by that Brazilian can who missed LW limit for a FW bout lol, plus Dawson is pretty much flawless other that unlucky last min mauling by Ricky Glenn

Griffin vs. Morales
Michael Morales, TKO, R2
Long delay for morales, he is lucky he didn't fought Rinat he would've been brutalized, this is ez one for him tho

Saint-Denis vs. Bonfim
Benoit Saint-Denis, SUB, R3
Want Benoit to win but that's not gonna happen most Likely, Ismael is on another level, meanwhile most remarkable trait of Benoit is his toughness, which means hes doing something wrong

Ruziboev vs. Ferreira
Nursulton Ruziboev, SUB, R3
Been following this dudes career outside UFC for a while now, I want him to do well, Bruno got lucky against Obama

Lee vs. Fakhretdinov
Rinat Fakhretdinov, DEC
Bad matchup for Lee smh, I wish him success but he should move to LW, Rinat is a suffocating wrestler who never seems to get tired

Romanov vs. Ivanov
Blagoy Ivanov, DEC
Ivanov is inhumanely tough, he should be able to survive first min barrage of Romanov and then go on to win a decision

Kutateladze vs. Brener
Guram Kutateladze, TKO, R1
Guram the most irregular LW on roster, that's not how you can climb rankings in this ruthless division, if he doesn't get a first round KO i would be super dissapointed

Strickland vs. Magomedov
Sean Strickland
This is a 5-round fight - Sean Strickland's bread & butter. If Abus can't get Strickland out of there within the first, maybe second round at best, look at Strickland to secure the win via UD.

Griffin vs. Morales
Michael Morales
Michael Morales SPARKED Trevin Giles in his UFC debut. As a reminder, Giles has beaten nobodys such as, oh, I don't know: Brendan Allen, Ryan Spann, James Krause, and Roman Dolidze. Griffin just barely squeezed past a modestly-crafty-yet-unremarkable Tim Means. Tell me, why should Griffin clutch victory over Morales here?

Lee vs. Fakhretdinov
Rinat Fakhretdinov
Kevin Lee's last fight saw him struggle against and barely overcome a forty-year old Diego Sanchez. Rinat on the other hand has been MELTING dudes. Look at how Rinat's two most recent opponents have been performing as of lately (spoiler: STRONG comebacks). I just can't visualize how Lee gets past Rinat's relentless pressure and offense coupled with an inherent size advantage.

Romanov vs. Ivanov
Blagoy Ivanov
If the first round is even so much as CLOSE and Romanov fails to get Blagoy out of there, bet the house on Blagoy live.

I'm desperately looking for reasons as to why the line is dropping on Damir the way that it is. I've been looking around at all the Dawson picks and Damir nearly becoming an underdog, and started to wonder if I had missed something obvious or if there was a bit of insider information that I hadn't heard yet. After hearing the reasoning people are giving for picking Dawson though, I am much more confident now that I have nothing to worry about

I got Isma but Grant is a rough matchup he has been subbing a lot of "pedigreed grapplers", which means less than people think in MMA.
The striking is the big difference and Isma has that in the bag and good takedown and sub defense.
From memory I'd give him cardio and durability advantage too and of course better experience.

Ismagulov/Dawson

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 440 Points   |   Tied for 925th

This is the hardest fight on the card for me to pick, both guys have styles that can give each other serious trouble. Grant with his cage/back control, and Damir with his striking/scrambles. After rewatching Grant's tape, I'm leaning Ismagulov, especially after the Jared Gordon fight. Grant was looking awful in that 3rd round until he got the sub, his gas tank is still very questionable. Grant's striking defense is pretty sus, Gordon was piecing him up at times and Madsen even dropped him. Damir's jab is no joke, and he makes very intelligent reads, I could see that giving Grant big problems. A lot of people are looking too far into Ismagulov's "retirement." It lasted for 3 weeks, he was still in the gym training, and when he unretired he called for a rematch with Arman. That doesn't sound like someone who's actually got one foot out the door. Damir is consistently consistent, maybe underwhelming to some, but he rarely makes mistakes. Grant on the other hand is consistently improving, but he's also consistently dealt with cardio issues and still shoots SLOPPY TDAs in every single fight. Old habits die hard, and Grant has way more old/bad habits than Damir. If you're picking Dawson I totally respect that and understand why. I won't be able to watch these fights cuz of work, so I'm not betting, but good luck to everyone who is. Get that shmoney boyz!

I like Damir too but I won't bet him in this one unless he's +money.

I hope I get this wrong.

Santos vs. Rosa

Petrović vs. Carolina
Ivana Petrović, SUB, R3
idk r3 sub i guess

Brito vs. Wilson
Joanderson Brito, TKO, R1
Wilson probably gonna get subbed or clubbed, or a mixture of both in round one. Leaning towards clubbing though.

Romanov vs. Ivanov
Blagoy Ivanov, DEC
Subject to change, depends how Romanov looks on the scale.

Kutateladze vs. Brener
Guram Kutateladze, TKO, R1
Leavitt to Guram is wild; Guram R1; chute box fighters are used to getting hit and Guram hits REALLY hard.

I have 0 bets on this card, probably should put more attention to UFC 290. I'm watching a couple of lines here but right now nothing that would make me pull the trigger. Looking over at 290 though at first glance there's a lot of dogs I like in that one.

The lines are moving against Damir? You don't say! What a surprise!

It's because people are beginning to realise what I was telling you guys days ago.

Dawson is winning this fight and he is the best bet on the card. 

I myself moved the line a little in my local book, because I put a very very large bet on him when he was a massive dog.

I hope some people in here had the sense to listen to me and bet him too. I just gave you free money but no one listened.
