I agree +1000 is usually good in MMA, but the fighter really needs a gameplan to victory; i'm not sure one exists here. If it was the best UFC HW vs worst HW then yeah, the +1000 punchers chance is probably okay; some random HW will KO Stipe 1 in 10 times
I'm not sure that's true when it's Cyborg and a random WMMA semi-can
Think about it, if Cyborg fought ONLY this chick 20 times, her current number of fights, 2-18 is the breakeven point. Cyborg is 19-1, with her loss coming in her first fight when she was not the fighter she is now. At the very least the opponents she's faced that were bigger threats at the time are
Vanessa Porto
Shayna Baszler pre-washed up
Marloes Coenen x2
Gina Carano
Tonya Evinger
Holly Holm
So that's at least 7 of her 19 wins that were tougher opponents imo, and another 5 or so that were close to on par with her current opponent.
I'm pretty sure she doesn't lose over 10% of the time and if Cyborg was -1000 it might be a bet, but i'm not taking the -1600ish on offer.
I kind of want to take Bryan Caraway while he's still +135, there's a big experience gap and he isn't a bad fighter, but I still haven't got around to watching the last few of Stamann's fights
Not going to bet on Struve vs Arlovski, i'm a big fan of both guys and will just cheer for a good fight.
Interesting that there's big steam on Vieira against Zingano, probably just going to leave that one alone too as we have no idea what version of Zingano we're going to get.
Pyle price is getting pretty tempting; I know it's steaming the other way and Pyle's chin is shot, but offensively he may have the edge and if he doesn't get knocked out he's at least 50/50 to win this one imo
Decided i'm pretty happy with my Dollaway bet being straight up rather than props.
Not going to play Dariush or Dern now that they've steamed in other than having Dern in my parlay
So why aren't you on the O'Malley train tbh?
Guy is cocky.. seems to be a better striker than Souk... O'Malley just seems to have it. You'll regret betting the other way if I had to guess.
Dern/OMalley/Cyborg parley is glitchyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Dern not losing, and damn she is fineeeeeeeeeeee.
Cyborg will never lose to this girl lmao.
Idk why people are sleeping on Ortega. He neutralizes Frankie's strongest attribute (wrestling) so you guys are really that high on Mark Henry turning Frankie into just a top notch striker? I think Ortega pressures him, forces him in the clinch and eventually gets his neck..
hate to say it, but ya.
Gl gl, SO stoked for this card man.
Edit:
Struve I think craps on Arlovski. Size difference is massive.. Struve is impressive to me and I think he has the potential to make waves in this division... again.
Lol @ watching Cyborgs vill lmao.. I honestly think that if this guy hit Cyborg flush 3 times with her best punch.. Cyborg wouldn't hardly react. Cyborg is the most dominate individual in any non-team sport. No one is close, no one will beat her before she retires barring some freak out of no where.
