    I think the ML right now isn't playable. Definitely hold out for props on this one, if you're going to bet it.

      Interestingly enough Nick Kalikas set the odds for this bout as Magny (-230)/Larkin(+170). Wish I had got Larkin at that price.

          I think we will get a bit better odds when 5Ds drops the full 20 props for each fight.

                Yeah that sounds about right. Guessing it drops ITD around (-125) KO/TKO around (+150)

                  2 extremely hard fights to cap imo
                  porier/johnson could be FOY potential , id lean porier but man thats a super tough fight to call both are super tough top 10 talents , porier has the momentum with johnson coming off those 2 losses even though i think he beat dariush ...

                  brunson/hall another super tough fight to call id lean brunson hoping hed be at + money since hall has the big name and has had problems with strong wrestlers before who grind in his face for 15, brunson can most definitely do this , but hall is dangerous and can ko anybody in the world so its tough betting against somebody so explosive, the + odds would have to be juicy enough for brunson

                    I'm thinking about being on Poirier and Brunson pretty big, especially if either/both are dogs. I think Poirier has the potential to be the LW champ. I agree that Hall can KO anyone and that will likely be the hedge play, depending on odds of course.

                      Tossing a unit on Mizugaki at (+400). I think this line will come back down by fight time and Mizugaki definitely wins at least 20% of the time.

                        Wow, those were set WAY OFF. I guess the line corrected itself. I would have taken Larkin at that price too. Anyone get in quickly enough at those odds?

                          I would lean Porier and Brunson. I think Porier will be the favorite though, with Johnson coming off the two losses. I think it's a fairly close fight, so i might just take dog money in that one.

                          I think Brunson will open as the dog, and I'd throw a few units down on that all day.

                                I think if you snap it at openers you'll get above (+100), probably at least (+125) but my guess is closer to (+150).

                                  Would LOVE to see Brunson as a dog here. Hall is flashier but I think Brunson is way better. It is notable that Brunson has been KO'ed a few times though, including in the third round against Yoel Romero in a fight that he was winning handily until he got clipped.

                                    The UFC has signed top women's prospect Alexa Grasso and she will be making her debut on the Mexico City card against Heather Jo Clarke.

                                      rothwell out .... werdum vs travis browne

                                      no clue whyd they book this fight they just fought recently and werdum beat him 5 outta 5 rounds
                                      prob be a no play since werdum will be the huge favourite maybe if brownes like +250 or more take a small stab since its heavyweights and anything can happen

                                        I'm thinking no play unless any of the following odds are really attractive:
                                        Werdum -3.5
                                        Werdum Decision
                                        Browne KO/TKO

                                          I agree with your picks. Both Poirier and Brunson have been tearing through everyone. I'm sure they'll both be favorites.

                                            My guess is Poirier opens around (-190) and Brunson (-150). I'll be watching closely for those odds to drop.

                                              I think porier will be around -140/-150 range and Brunson will be a dog around +125

                                              also new line just dropped and I'm looking for a big play on it , Michael bisping -190 over hendo.. I think bisping is going to starch him here. Hendos movement is absolutely horrendous these days and his chin is shot all he has is that hbomb and I doubt bisping is stupid enough to get caught by it again , I'm guessing he batters him for 2-3 rounds then finishes him late

                                                Condit vs Maia

                                                Thoughts on the Condit/Maia fight at the end of August? Two very good fighters with contrasting styles. Fight has opened up as basically a pick em'. Any consensus in the forum?

                                                  I did a write-up on the fight on the first page of this thread. It seems like Maia early sub or Condit late KO/TKO if there's a finish. Draw and split decision bets for each fighter are also worth looking at. Also, some have suggested betting on Maia pre-fight and live-hedging Condit after Round 2.

                                                    also new line just dropped and I'm looking for a big play on it , Michael bisping -190 over hendo.. I think bisping is going to starch him here. Hendos movement is absolutely horrendous these days and his chin is shot all he has is that hbomb and I doubt bisping is stupid enough to get caught by it again , I'm guessing he batters him for 2-3 rounds then finishes him late
                                                    Hope you're right about those odds. I think the best way to play Bisping/Hendo is Bisping -3.5/-5.5 and Hendo KO/TKO. Bisping minus the points cashes with any finish or wide decision and I see an H bomb to the chin as Hendo's only method of victory. Both should be plus odds so we should be able to profit either way.

                                                      Garbrandt/Mizugaki reminds me a bit of Swanson/Kawajiri. The overwhelming favorite has an exciting style and should get the win but the odds seem fail to give any credit to the crafty Asian veteran.

                                                        I think it's different because Mizugaki is a standup fighter, plays into Garbrandt's strength. Whereas Kawajiri had more of a chance because he does takedowns and lay and pray.

                                                            Would not be shocked to see Garbrandt get an RNC or drop one of the patented Team Alpha Male guillotines on Miz.

                                                              I don't think garbrandt will go for the sub , he looks like he enjoys just landing hands even when the opponent gets dropped .. Alpha male definitely has the best guillotines in the game but 0 subs and mizugakis poor defense I think he'll get kod here.... If you want underdog value +725 mizugaki by decision



                                                              btw new fight announced and this one hurt my heart a bit..

Trulely feel bad for bj here tough spot , hopefully he can complete the miracle but I highly highly doubt he gets the W here.. Hasn't won sine 2010 then he gets a top 5 FW smfh Shelby and joe silva
                                                                    The curious matchmaking might be because BJ has a few fights left on a long and lucrative contract from his time at the top (not sure whether he does or not). Jake Ellenberger was in a similar situation where he got a big contract when he was a top contender and then when he started to lose Silva and Shelby continued to give him hard fights because his pay was still huge.

                                                                        It definitely makes more sense to match BJ against a fringe top 15 FW to gauge where he's at/potentially build some credibility for him but if the UFC HAD to match him against a top 5 FW you'd think it be Max Holloway as the headliner for a Hawaii card since that would at least sell tickets and likely give Holloway another win while keeping him happy waiting for a title shot.

                                                                        I think Lamas opens as a bigger favorite somewhere in the region of (-350/400).
