feels like a little Rafael Marquez vs. Israel Vazquez. knocking lumps out of each other but fight goes on, perfect match up right here.

that went well. 0/3. until next time, gents.

if it makes u feel better we all got ****ed. lol

duffy retired

bad night for me, lost about 2/3 what i won on wednesday

I lost half what I won a week ago. Oh well, onto the next one

he kept getting less and less of a fav thruout the week, the guy he was facing was a sub machine and it was at +400 to finish. i shouldve fired straight up on it.

gunna drastically reduce my bet sizing next week lol after these 2 bum cards.

It is pretty ridiculous that Duffy went from subbing Conor to getting guillotined by random lower-mid level guys

Am going to take a guy I thought was sharp less seriously after the last few cards had been weighting his info into my analysis pretty heavily, had one big card but also I think four losing ones in the last five

I think Diakese's stock takes a huge hit too, I guess he doesn't beat mid level guys anymore and will only beat the dregs of the division. His Duffy and Vannata wins look a lot less impressive in hindsight than they did at the time.

I must say i'd be keen to see Figueiredo vs Cejudo at 125 if he wanted to un-retire although if he does that I assume it'll be at BW not FLW. Would be cool if Mighty Mouse came back to fight Figueiredo as well but don't expect it obv he can beat up randoms in Asia and get paid the rest of his career he already did the legacy part.

Benavidez looked small and old today, I think this is the first time he's looked way past his prime, I don't remember the Sergio fight well but remember it was close etc

Benavidez moves to 0-5 in title fights and Faber lost his last 7 title fights in a row. Between them they managed to lose 12 title fights in a row between WEC/UFC although Faber did at least win the belt in WEC etc before that. I must say I did think the main would be competitive today but it wasn't.

Whittaker down to a pick em vs Till, for the life of me I just don't get it. Think Whittaker KO's him unless he just didn't train at all. But I've always thought Till was overrated. Gastelum losing again last night, his big MW win...

I really feel for Benevidez. But it's clear his best years are behind him and he understands how hard it would be to get another TS.

To go 10 years as the clear #2 man in the division is an accomplishment unto itself.

Man really want to bet Whittaker big, don't like Till and feel like Rob should be better everywhere.

Just a question mark over his mentality. He looks in good shape though from training pictures which is a positive. Has had a decent amount of time off since that KO loss.

Till is good but I don't think he's elite. Woodley made him look like a bum, Wonderboy had a messed up knee and should have got the decision. Decent win over Kelvin but wasn't in an impressive manor.

Feel like Whittaker has to have really dropped off to be underdog odds in this fight.

Anyone like Till?

^Agree with the above, Till just isn't champ material, yeah he was able to beat heavy hitting Gastelum but Wittaker will land much more imo, he's much more diverse striker, pretty sure I'm betting Wittaker. Till is indeed overrated.

Pannie opened up as a pick em but has steamed in her fav, still a good spot at 1.7 imo. Beth is a scrub imo and will get lit up, sure she'll land a few but overall will get hit much more imo. Prob my favorite bet of the card.

Like Evloev as well, even at 1.45.

Just locked 1.2u to win 1u on Whittaker. This line moved from -164 on my book so I think this is a good spot, expecting $ to come in on Whittaker closer to the fight and move it back down to the -150 range.

tailed you, it's at -115 right now on bm

Yeah I`m getting all my books reactivated starting w softie SportsInt

time to make some $$ this year line shopping

A few interesting spots (need to find/watch video):

- Rua @ even 40% of his capacity should easily beat Lil Nog but need to see something recent from both of them before putting this bet. Currently hovering around -185

- Kianzad should beat Bethe with any footwork as Bethe simply bull rushes forward. $ might come in on Bethe due to name recognition closer to the fight. Again it`s womens MMA so this line could be anywhere, need to watch tape on both.

- Too bad that Chimaev line is gone (-1000) , this is gonna be a really easy win for Chimaev who is coming out of Fight Island as a contender. Props might be interesting.

Some interesting Chimaev-McKee stuff out now

Over 1.5 rounds +160
Under 1.5 rounds -195

Goes Distance yes +340
Goes Distance no -510

Chimaev ITD yes -385
Chimaev ITD no +265

Pretty steep prices. Leaning under. Hopefully can get Chimaev round 1 at about a pickem.

i'm not rly sure why you think bethe is that bad. i mean obv she's bad but she's competitive in the upper rungs of women's 135 for sure. competitive fights with reneau and aldana. wins over sarj and jessica eye. what has anyone seen in pannie that makes her seem so +ev? i haven't done anything for that fight yet, but bethe as some 135 pushover seems a bit too much as taken for granted to my liking.

I feel like they could have done more with "fight island". How crazy would it be if uncle Dana hosted a tournament where anyone in the world can enter if they just put up the buyin. Similar to poker, you'd have all the pros enter and some random fish but it would be really entertaining. Esp if a random made a deep run in the tournament. 1m to the winner in three different weight tournaments. I feel like something creative would have maximized the fight island hype

i don't know which drugs you're on but id certainly like to try them. it's hard enough to get fish to play tournaments, now theyre signing up to fight pro fighters?

Lol. Someone who probably die...

surely some rich guy out there would love the opportunity to step inside the octagon and be on TV. And since you asked, smoking on primate sour hybrid-I highly recommend it

line for Ngannou winning the top tournament?

i dont think you understand how mma works.

Think I have found some decent spots for this weekends card.

On Whittaker at 1.97
Ronson at 3.5
Trinaldo at 1.7
Sergio Pettis at 1.7

Like Werdum sub prop but not backed it yet,

Yeah I missed the early move on Whittaker but want to see him look good at weigh in I don't mind paying -125 or whatever to know he's motivated and in shape in fight week and Till doesn't have a bigger size edge than I expect etc

Till can def knock him out and is live for a decision too but Whittaker just has more ways to win especially if he's willing to use his wrestling if he isn't crushing the standup (although that Adesanya stand and trade gameplan was horrible when he reached a level where he was going to represent Australia in wrestling at the commonwealth games and can hang with Romero in that department)
