Bleh, +150 was kinda the cutoff to pick Marcello for me. Is limit $100 or $250 for it?

Nah, it's 500 surprisingly. Changed my mind and got one hit on Lawrence more because I really want him to lose though. Pinny opened it too.

Cruz seemed confident picking Lawrence, it's going to be interesting. I think Faber got a bit unlucky, his guy was owning the standup up until that devastating knee.

Lawrence -244 Marcello +250 now

I'm going to stay away, I think Lawrence takes it most of the time but it's almost getting to the stage where it's worth an odds play, if Marcello gets to better than +300 I might given he does have a way to win. Can't wait for this week's show, it may set the tone for the whole season if Cruz manages to get the win again. I would love to see Cruz humiliate Faber week in week out for the whole season, something about Faber just annoys me and Cruz is a boss.

Ugh, I'd take the +250 on Marcello on sb if I cared enough to search for my new sn, but it's too much work. I'll prob arb off Lawrence completely and add some more on Marcello if the odds get to +250 or better and limits bigger at pinny tomorrow.

It's probably his 'bro' attitude that tilts me, also he says stupid **** to Cruz like 'I let you live' well of course you did its a fkn sport and as Cruz replied to him other people had 'let faber live' before that fight anyway, dumbest stuff ever.

I kinda like Cruz too, despite people saying Cruz and Edgar are 'points fighters' I find their title fights to be more consistently entertaining than any other champs other than Jones and Silva (yes, I realise Edgar isn't champ anymore but he will be a champion again either at LW or FW by the end of the year imo)

In terms of fight enjoyment Edgar > Cruz, cause his fights are always really close and bloody, gritty. In terms of style, Cruz > Edgar. I just think Cruz's style is really fun to watch, he does so many unexpected things. People complaining about him not finishing fights is just lol bc after all, this is the Bantamweight division, we're going to see less finishes than HW and his last 4 fights have been against opponents that have never been finished, except for Faber who's had some TKO/KO losses, but if Aldo couldbn't finish Faber, Cruz won't be either. As far as champions go, I think all champions are pretty exciting to watch other than GSP.

Jury/Iaquinta predictions everyone? Where do we feel the line opens? I've heard Jury is really good, so Ill prob get on him if he's an underdog. Anyone know a lot about either fighter?

Yeah it kinda seems like Cruz has the best 3 guys in Sicilia/Jury/Lawrence, too soon to really know for sure though

2 units on Cruz at -225. I see this fight being a replay of the last.

This.

Also, Ian McCall opened at +170 I think against DJ, sad that it's already bet down to +140ish

Jury and Iaquinta are two of the more talented fighters on the show. Lot of good ones gettin knocked out early this season...

I think by the end of the season Cruz could possibly be regarded as the best TUF coach ever if his plan works and he sweeps Faber's team.

If I remember correctly, Rashad had only 1 loss on his team and that was when Marcus Jones faced that fat asian guy. I haven't watched all seasons, but has there ever been anyone going 8-0?

I've seen seasons 1 to 5 and 13+ and there weren't any totally one sided seasons there

I actually haven't seen the Rampage Rashad season but from what I hear Rampage was the worst coach in the history of TUF

Jury being a -250ish favourite as third pick over Faber's first pick is interesting but the pre-season hype had Jury and Lawrence pretty much as the two best guys from what i've heard so it'll be interesting to see if he lives up to the hype.

It would be so epic to see Cruz 8-0 Faber, what happens then, they force half of Cruz's team to switch sides? Would be hilarious if Team Cruz wins every fight this season.

Then again, he didn't do himself any favors the way he picked his team. He picked Kimbo Slice quite early.... And then it seemed he picked the tallest/biggest fighters. He also got really mad when he lost.
