The only ones I feel good about are moose and davis. Luke will likely win, jones and DC and Frankie vs Aldo are both coin flips imo, if I had to pick I would slightly favor jones and Aldo. Good bet and good luck to you sir

dc vs jones is not a coin flip. jones has massive height and reach advantage. it could be argued jones also has wrestling advantage considering he took cormier down. furthermore, jones already beat cormier and daniels path to victory is only a hail mary punch that ko jones. not everyone does there due dilligence when capping fights. its probably the reason why only a select few are long term winners.

UFC 199 got some lines out, and I'm grabbing Weidman by KO/TKO at 7.00 at Unibet. It was a even match til the spinning stuff and I believe he will be just as competative in the rematch, 7.00 seems way too high.

I must be remembering the fight incorrectly but Rockhold was never any any danger and landed alot more strikes, mostly kicks? I may have to watch again...

As I remember it, Weidman won at round 1, lost 2 and was winning 3 til Rockhold took him down manhandled him, and I believe he is dangerous enough to make the 7.00 bet viable.
 
I agree with Shoulder completely. Until he attempted that stupid spinning kick this was an even fight and Weidman was winning round three until the spin. Rockhold did say antibiotics or something very close to the fight had affected his cardio but regardless I think people are forgetting how close this fight was up until the spin.

Yep definitely need to re watch as i've been thinking Rockhold won both rounds tbh...
 
Btw I do favour Rockhold but no way I am writing Weidman off here.

not addressing you so much, shoulder --

that "until the spinning kick" bit i keep hearing about... i'm kinda tired of hearing it (again, shoulder, this isn't to you)

sure, it was a risky move and it cost him a position, but that's the the *reason* chris lost the fight. he lost the fight cause he was gassing harder than rockhold did and because he didn't realize how good rockhold was on the ground
 
MW is a weird division where Rockhold has such obvious flaws in his game, as amazing as he is, yet no one has the tools to exploit them. Weidman would if he had more time with Mark Henry, but not three months. I swear i've never seen Rockhold use his right hand for anything but a check hook.

What's going on with your AV?
 
I was just taking a look at the UFC WW division standings and with everyone else practically locked into a fight, think it's likely we gonna see Magny vs Gunnar in the coming months?

Seems like logical match making. I'd be all for it.
 
Apparently Weidman is injured and could be out of UFC 199 - had a neck/back injury for a bout a month but tried to work through it.
 
I wouldn't be surprised to hear Rockhold asking for Vitor lol
