Hard time picking this event:
Stipe- good chin, very active in the fight, bur heavyweight, Overeem has a power, though I doubt he will avoid punches for 5 rounds, he's not Anderson Silva, but he can finish fast

Werdum - wondering about playing Werdum by sub/Werdum itd., but heavyweight fight

Punk vs Gall- Punk is terrible, but I doubt UFC would send him like a pig for slaughter

Rivera vs Faber- close fight, Rivera didn't face fighters like Faber, lost round to Munhoz.Faber well many fighters gave him trouble, but he wasn't that bad against Cruz and still is top 5 material

Andrade vs Calderwood- rooting for Andrade, I don't trust JoJo since her fight with Casey, I think Andrade's power and barage will be too much for JoJo, I also think Andrade has grappling advantage.However women fights....
correia vs eye- beth is a shit, thinking about Eye, but again women fight and both of them are weak

Lentz vs Mcbride- don't know much about Mcbride

Tavares - layoff
Mccall- layoff, retirement talks

Medeiros vs Spencer - former WW, may be a factor, if he was a lw before I would bet Medeiros

Dolloway - I think he should outclass Francimar

Dober vs Gonzalez - idk

So, what I probably choose from:Stipe, Andrade, Werdum, Dolloway, Mccall

Caio has been out almost as long as Tavares.

Also not sure why Rivera losing a round to Munhoz matters? He won r1 and r3 should not have been a split. Faber lost r1 to Fran Rivera. He was also imo fortunate to get the nod over saenz. I think rivera is boxing his ears off! Faber will be forced to stand and while his standup is not bad rivera is far more technical. Faber never does well when he cant force scrambles. Faber only lost to cruz three months ago and was hurt a few times in that fight i really think hes coming back too soon. Plus hes 37 and clealy lost a step. Faber is in great condition for 37 but 37 is very old for someone who fights at bw.

Its toothlessmma.com, they are saying that Gall has a cut above his right eye which can be seen in the Countdown show. Saying that he may not get medically cleared but surely they would have pulled him already if that was the case.

lmfao @ that 'injury'

some of these mma sites man......anything for clicks.
 
Anybody betting dober

Thinking about it but his only win is a competitive fight against holtzman

He got dominated by Sean spencer and Jamie varner basically knocked himself out with a take down

I dont remember the hein fight only that it was a clear win for ze german
 
when is Bookmaker gonna post odds on the Nik Lentz fight? They've got the entire card up but that fight, what's taking so long??

Dober is not skilled enough for me to bet on him. He's like so average. Idk what he's good at.

Edit: Bet on him as a favorite.

Reem/Miocic:

Initially I was strongly leaning Miocic. He has the better chin and has fought the better competition recently. However after watching the interviews posted itt and thinking about I am starting to like Reem.

Reem looks very slim and emphasized his movement in the interview. I think econoreem can stick and move and maybe even finish in r3-5.

I kinda like the over but not for a huge amount. At the current price I think Reem is the right side. This is a really close one.
 
Still Don't trust mcalls injury and retirement talk in the past, but brendan did say on his chat show he has hand injuries, I think mcall prefers the role of underdog perhaps.

gonzalez did not look that good to me, his height and reach are good though but he also showed people that wish to grapple and work on take downs do eventually have success and this was a much lower opponent, and he struggled to get back to his feet so dober should be able to do the same here I expect.

Lol I hope McCall keeps making comments like this so people bet Borg.

Yep

Im on Ian as well, Borg like someone mentioned before is a one trick pony, and he's not subbing the worst version of Ian that we've seen

Im gonna wait a bit more but probably gonna put down 1.5u on One Handed Ian SU and 1.5 on his decision line


Im also gonna be on Tavares and on his decision line, I feel like this is a steal, Caio is exactly the mid level guy that Tavares shines against, pepper a few shots, grind him, take him down and repeat till victory


I'm starting to really like this event for betting, I have strong leans on quite a few fights
 
Im not sure what's possessing people to bet on Mccall here. Dude is chronically injured, and has looked like shit for 2-3 straight fights. His heart is obviously not in it from his talk on various shows, and he's old.

I'm on Dober. Slight breakdown about how I think this will go is roughly a page back. If it makes you feel any better, Dober was clearly beating Silva til the bullshit finish too

The Silva fight is a bit cloudy but didnt Silva win the first round and the second was up for grabs?
 
This guy has pretty good picks on the Youtubes....Channel is called "MMA for you". For UFN he only was wrong on 1 fight which is impressive.



I don't listen to the audio becuase he isn't a great speaker but his picks are actually really solid in most cases. The picks are all available below the video on youtube itself in the description you can click "show less or show more".

Specifics are cloudy for me too, haven't watched since studying for Silva vs Saggo, but clearly remember Dober being in control with his dirty boxing and clinch work and not having any problems scoring the td. I still to this day can't believe that idiot ref stopped the fight when Dober had side control lol

I have been watching his videos for over 2 years. He can give good insight and bring up things I forget, etc.

He is not a bettor, tho and does not look at odds. He started out just giving his picks and people hounded him for method of victory, so he recently started doing that, too. If you go to the very end of his videos he gives a quick recap of picks plus method of victory if you don't like listening to the whole thing. He can ramble on a lot

CM Punk looking smooth as a baby with his jits on embedded

Based on what you are seeing with his bjj, amount of time you think he'd last vs Gordon Ryan in a grappling match LOL?

(Or maybe I should ask how long Gordon Ryan would last with Punk?)

IMO Borg can only win by sub, he's not winning enough points striking, and his wrestling I dont think is gonna be enough to beat "One Hand" McCall
