Why are bookies boosting odds for Adesanya?

Is it for Adesanya by KO?

If not that worries me

Ah I see. They are smart. Good way to get people to bet more on the other dodgy fights. All psychology tactics

Depends on Adesanyas mentality. If he actually chooses to go for the knockout with Sean I think he'll get it. There's not much risk for Adesanya going for it because Sean is a) an inferior striker and b) doesn't have knockout power.
Of course Izzy could also cruise to a boring decision win but I have a feeling that he wants to put Sean away

I'm not superstitious and fully agree Izzy very unimpressive decision is most likely.

I agree with all your choices. I originally had Volkov, but recently changed it to Tuivasa. Good luck!

I think it's a 50/50 fight. Lane has knockout power and more experience. Picking him solely because everyone is picking Tafa

@Thesnake101 
i agree radtke should win but imo its like 60 - 40 and the odds are way too wide. Radtke gassed bad from a little bit of grappling then got finished by justin montalvo who has zero power. It just seems like the ufc trying to get diamond a win and there's a good chance he gets it

Has to be 6 of the more uneventful episodes of Embedded I've ever watched. I think the most interesting moment was in the last or second to last episode when Tai finally got on stage in front of Volkov and realized how big he is in person.

Is late to change but i’m with Crosbie in the opening fight, the two are strikers but Crosbie is more level, more tested and more experience, if the franchuten dont have a secret grappler top level, the fight is for Irland

Fun fact for those confused by Scully: SEK is both the acronym for the swedish currency and shorthand for the time unit, second (sekund). 1 sek is about how long a SEK is worth 1 SEK before it continues its death-plummet against every other currency in the world.
