Haha that picture is great. Totally unrealistic though no way Jones would have a closed fist at eye gouge range.

Yeah. Misses weight quite often :/

She is either attempting to much, or doing it poorly. It hasn't effected her in a single fight though (at least in a major way). Even in her previous fight she should've won the third round.

Probably should worry me more than it does. I expect this to be slow paced anyways, and I just think she is going to be to good for her opponent to be able to push the pace later in the fight.

Gonna do 0.5u Dufresne -172 on yoyobo's recommendation should be a fun sweat

Also 0.25 Akhmedov -161 for sweats and narrowly like that side I think
Really like both of these.

I have 2u on Akhmedov at the -135 open and 4u on him at -160
have 4 units on Dufresne -175

You added that much more on Akhmedov when the price got worse? He has power, but he also gets hit a lot too. Nilsson is a live dog here and I wouldn't put that much confidence in Akhmedov. I personally bet that the fight won't start round 3 to cover either guy finishing- the Dagestani by KO or the Swede by sub- and a small bet on Nilsson by sub at good odds.

I think Nillson is not a ufc caliber fighter and I thought I would take Akhmedov at -225 so I got the max I could down at the -135 open and then the rest down as soon as limits were increased. Maybe Nillson is better than what he has shown but I like this spot at the price

Thanks a ton for the lists!

Here are my picks what do you think?

-205 on Alexander Gustafsson
-105 on Norman Parke
+600 on Dennis Siver

I have a hunch I'm gonna make a lot oh money$$

W, lean Parke but could go either way, L imo

glgl

Also you can get way better than +600 on Siver if you havent bet already

Crap! Already bet. Hopefully he still wins though.

I'm a Siver fan, but he won't. I don't think he has the hand/leg speed necessary to outstrike Conor. I think it'll look a lot like Siver vs Cerrone only ending via TKO (punches) instead of a head kick. If I had to guess Siver wins maybe 1 in 8 times here?

The Poirier fight has made me a believer in McGregor, I don't think he's losing to anyone outside of the top 3 (Aldo, Mendes, Edgar) and even then he's live.

about to watch live weigh in, maybe cerrone's had a bad cut?

Half unit on Jury +135 just in case the price keeps dropping, was only ever going small on him. I still think casual money will be on Cerrone but I can just increase it to a full unit and change if it goes back to +168 or w/e

Dufresne missed weight but apparently not that unexpected

Cormier seems like such a massive dick between this Jones feud and the Cummins one. Hope he can get it done tomorrow against Cormier. First time i've cheered for Jones since the Shogun fight

138 and fairly quickly declined to try to make 136.

I find him to be quite a likeable guy who is married with kids and was content to just go about his business until the head lean by Jones.

Jones as a person I have very little respect for. His interviews are just bad acting as the wholesome intelligent portrayal he puts on is just a ruse that have made many of his peers dislike him.

This appears to be the case in my experience as well. I work out at an MMA gym and most of the guys respect the hell out of Jon Jones but hate him.

Jones strikes me as a manchild, pretending to be a man, cormier as a senior who is a tad too serious at times.

Cerrone mentioned an injury in one of the interviews so it's likely that. Not sure too much should be read into it though.

What sportsbook has POTN props available? I always bet a FOTN and Fastest KO & Fastest Sub props at 5Dimes.

Already have money on Jury, Cormier and Tavares (luckily got on Jury before the steam).

Do you guys think value is in Jury by Sub +1200?

I'm curious too for POTN. What price is Lombard for that prop?

Imagine on the events when they do away with FOTN awards as they have done semi-frequently lately and award four POTN bonuses instead. I wonder if they honor all those bets?

On a tangentially related note, I wish I could take advantage of some of the special or exotic props that Unibet and some other Euro books have like Fighter X gets a takedown or who gets more takedowns etc but alas, as a U.S. bettor I am mostly limited to 5Dimes & Bookmaker's options.
