exactly breakeven so far, just reyes left. my only losses tonight are tukhugov (who i think prob should have won) and matthews under 2.5 and ko props, so oh well, not really a bad bet made yet. klein, viera, nd matthews ml have been in the plus for me.
i dont know how you guys are so confident on izzy. ive been waiting for this fight for years since they both started crushing in the ufc, wouldn't want to have money on it unless i thought it was such a good spot, but at this price id have to say the better bet is maybe costa?
Jan is a dude that gets no respect from bettors or fans. He's an underdog in most of his fights and he wins most of them. I'm on the Reyes bandwagon but don't see much value in betting him here.

I'm with you. I think people are underestimating Costa. I understand how this looks like a good stylistic matchup for Izzy but that's largely predicated on Costa gassing. If Costa doesn't gas that whole narrative changes. In my eyes these are two great fighters both worthy of being champion, but neither are on that level where they seem to be unbeatable.
I was thinking Jan had a puncher's chance but really Reyes was the one with the puncher's chance. Reyes didn't look that good striking vs Oezdemir either. He now needs to completely retool his game. Either make massive improvements to his standup or start incorporating offensive wrestling vs these strikers.
Suddenly Corey Anderson doesn't look so bad. Maybe UFC should have re-signed him.
lol tried to be fancy and flipped my Adesanya bet to Costa, with the intention of backing Izzy after the first round. Thought Costa would put it on him early.
Costa Patience? WTF was he thinking. What's the point of going a round at distance... no one has a chance vs. Izzy at the distance. The only chance is to close the distance which is exactly what Costa is great at... closing the distance. By giving up rd1 he was already shot in the legs.
But I have to give Izzy credit as he's really turning into the Anderson Silva of his time... but with his talk he's also turning into the Jon Jones. I think he's a prick.
