Good line i just hit is vitor r1 at +625. Vitors style these days is to go hard r1 and finish.

My main play is on jacare but still like this line a lot

yep. i have 0.5u belfort rd 1 +650, myself. that's how he wins.

i expect jacare to weather it and sub him, but like the bet
 
hard to imagine him doing that if he isn't back on...
Yeah, idk whats going on. Now he tweeted out a pic of him on a plane, and NYC press conference is in 2 days. Maybe no comment from UFC cause they want it to be a surprise?
 
If this whole fiasco is planned just to create hype then wp ufc.
 
Paddy Holohan announced his retirement
 
Back the truck up... subscribers???

Yep. Both of them are PISSED at Barry right now. Not as pissed as when he recommended Ronda at -1200 vs Holly, but still pretty steamed.

Barry is currently trying to pacify them by giving them free losers...err...picks from the next card but that's just making them more angry.
 
thoughts on the jones-cormier line
cormier currently +200 on some euro bookie

I could see the lines being closer this time due to jones lack luster performance against osp
talk about this one headlining ufc 200

I think Cormier has value but a couple things to consider in my opinion.

Greg Jackson said that the powerlifting was a problem and affected Jones' cardio, will he change his routine?

Will Cormier be fully fit if the fight is indeed at UFC 200? Initial reports said that he will be out until August, is he being rushed back because of the Conor situation?

I thought that also, GSP talked years ago about putting on muscle to fight anderson, saying that the adjustments to your timing and pacing are going to take a lot of getting used too, so he wanted to put on the muscle slowly unlike jones. Also rogan i think it was, was saying in the walkouts last weekend that's the best jon we've seen physically which is true I guess in terms of looks but it didn't seem to translate that well into his grappling.
on paper he should of been able to use his grappling more effectively especially with this new "strength" jones is on about, and after easily handling DC's wrestling many thought a sub on osp was very possible. but in my opinion he looked much better against cormier, more of a fighters physique.

JDS is another example of this, he seems to of lost a bit of muscle mass which I think was a great career decision. the last few years JDS looked to big and plodding compared to his road to the title.

I think Jones performance had more to do with his layoff, being prepared for DC and a lose-lose situation against OSP.
Jones does not care much about excitment. He just win fights. In a way he is like GSP.
GOAT material but he is not risking his record against a no-name dangerous opponent like OSP.

One thing I was surprised was with his strenght. He always was strong but I dont remember Jones slamming guys like he did a couple of times with OSP (who is a big LHW).
Maybe my memory is failing but didnt he pick OSP on his shoulders, carried to the center of the octagon and slam the shit out of him?
 
0.75u on Matt Brown wins in Round 3 @ 17.00
It's a long shot but if Maia fails to get the takedown in the later rounds Brown will certainly turn up the heat.
 
cyborg/leslie goes the distance +900

not that I like it but its a pretty crazy price for a 3 round chick fight

maybe.. maybe.. but man i don't expect smith to have a prayer of lasting unless the extra 5 pound weight cut really affects cyborg

I took Leslie R3 +4000 for that reason lol. Extremely small

i'm just taking "does not start rd 2" at -160 or whatever (same price as cyborg rd 1) -- i see no evidence that she has a prayer of surviving! hehe. tough chick, but ref will have no choice but call the tko, i think

Oh, of course! Those are my main plays, too. I have 2.15u on u1.5 -215 and u1.0 -169 to win .75u

It was -175 vs -160 when I bet it. Not a huge difference but I just rolled the dice on the tiny bit less juice and took Cyborg rd 1.
 
thoroughly expect a thrashing, really do
