Dalby seems like a solid dude. I like his demeanor and he's got some steez I like his style. I wish him the best I hope he succeeds but I bet against him. Hopefully he has a good showing and it ends up being a barn burner where both guys put on a good showing but I still win my bet lmfao.

I put a little bit on him earlier when he was +120. I would like to bet some more but now that he's -145 I'm not too interested.

Raise your hand if anyone's confident in any of their picks on these lesser known fighters?

I'm just picking for the sake of action at this point lol. Kinda the general theme for this Croatian card.

No one truly knows what these guys will react in certain situations but if that's the case, I would definitely recommend to play the board on odds that pay out well. I take it as a premeditated loss but at least I'm risking less to win alot on long-odds.

i'm pretty confident that dalby-cummings goes 3 rounds, but haven't bet it (it's not cheap).

i'm confident that hadzovic is being overlooked by the general public, but unsure if he'll be able to pull off the upset.

i'm confident in blachowicz, but he's priced accordingly.

i'm not confident on ANY bets overall. as such, no play exceeds 2u at present.
 
More and more I'm thinking that Ben Rothwell is the play...he's a lot more durable, can take heavy shots...Whereas JDS is damaged goods.

I predict an early Rothwell stoppage.
 
Stupidly parlayed a golf play on the Masters (only one that lost so far) with Blaydes. That was when Blaydes was at + odds. I'm debating on Ngannou now when his odds reduce.
 
Thanks for the tips on Asker/Cannonier. I didn't see those earlier.
 
Blaydes/Ngannou is like putting Cain/JDS straight away early in there UFC careers. The HW division has become thin and old to the point prospects are fighting each other now instead of later.

It's not like when Cain, Carwin, JDS & Brock fought separate fighters before fighting each other. I think Blaydes will TKO Francis through his wrestling but his striking offense/defense will be tested and if he can take a punch.
 
i seem to be the only one on jds with full confidence, should be fun.
 
i have a feeling this card is going to lead to alot of people chasing on the main event (aka the degenerate special).
 
Im thinking of putting 20 basically on the non-favourites.

Nearly an 100k payout. Wont get my hopes up.

Im confident in Ngannou, no exact reason I just dont think Blaydes is all that.

I have a ton of Masters match-ups. My favorite tournament of the year. What a final grouping. Added Adam Scott top 5 and top 10 at good odds. Think he'll finish strong based on earlier this year play. Day. McIlroy, Spieth could be an epic 10 years imo. Plus DJ, fowler. Watson
 
fight pass:

velickovic-di chirico
velickovic jacked as hell.. he's so lean and ripped when 170, just looks like a stronger version of that at 185.
di chirico looks alright. he looks confused. lol.
they're the same height. velickovic looks like he has the wider frame/longer reach

cannonier-asker
asker unimpressive looking. in at 241. soft, not a big hw.
cannonier also in at 241. looks stronger.
asker is actually 2-3" taller and actually looks bigger

whiteford-martins
martins lean and shredded as always at 145. lil drawn out but looks great
whiteford looks outstanding - this is the best he has ever looked, i think.
they're the same size (martins had shoes on) - martins scowl = lol. intense staredown

fs1 prelims:

stasiak-pejic
so this fight IS at 135, was a lot of confusion on that.
stasiak looks super trim at 135. looks good..
pejic long and lean 135, looks good
pejic is 2-3" taller - heated staredown

taisumov-hadzovic
hadzovic looks very solid.
taisumov also looks great. no surprises on this fight
hadzovic is a lot bigger. 3-4" taller.

perez-entwistle
perez looks ok. a bit drained, but ok.
entwistle lookin good. same as usual
they're the same size

cummings-dalby
cummings in good shape. still a lil soft but about as good as he ever looks.
dalby lookin solid, same as usual
cummings is 1" taller. his chin is 3" longer.

fs1 main:

moroz-stanciu
stanciu looks alright. lil trimmer than she was on tape at 125.
moroz super lean, looks good.. same as usual.
moroz about 1" taller. arms etc look a lot longer, tho, haha

blachowicz-pokrajac
blachowicz looks awesome. as good as ever in the ufc. strong as hell.
pokrajac looks pretty much the same as always. i don't get why he never went to 185. he's sporting a gut, actually, more than i've seen from him.
blachowicz about 2" taller. looks a weight class bigger.

tybura-johnson
tybura pretty soft. no surprise, but yea. 247.
johnson lookin big, lol. in at 262. big belly, big boy.
tybura actually an inch or two taller..

blaydes-ngannou
blaydes has some weird features. he's in at 261. some floppy boobies, yet he looks in shape. big arms etc.. just a weird core.
ngannou is ludicrously strong/long/huge/etc. 252
ngannou is 2+" taller and just a much bigger frame

GG-lewis
WTF is GG coming out first? that's weird.
GG in at 262, looks the same as he has lately. looks fine.
lewis also looks the same as always. big belly, but normal for him. 264
GG an inch or two taller, maybe? hard to tell. they're really similarly sized.

JDS-rothwell
JDS up first? again, wtf?
JDS looks decent. in at 241. he looked better a couple years ago. but he still looks much better than the avg hw.
big ben looks the same as he has lately. big and goofy. 264.
rothwell is 1" taller

---

bet pejic small based on the confirmation that the fight is at 135 (since stasiak gassed badly at 145 etc)

added a lil on hadzovic +3.5 w/the size disparity

bought out of my o1.5 blachowicz-pokrajac
 
i think this is going to be the fight where people discover cummings isn't just some run of the mill welterweight and he's there to make an impact.

idk what that statement means; dalby might have something to say about that...

how you can you be fully confident in JDS after how gunshy he was last fight and then brutally ko'd?

First of he was TKo-ed not ko-ed. He wasn't unconscious or something and stood up right after.
Second of all Rothwell got outstruck against both Mittrione and Rothwell and if they can do it Jds can too. Jds won't go for take downs so a choke is less likely.

Hmmm, I've always interpreted the Mitrione fight differently. He started off landing a couple good shots, but Ben hurt him with a nice flurry which led to Mits dumb takedown attempt.
