kennedy overrates his own standup so much.. it's cost him in the past...
 
The line for Cub/Choi fight is madness that is for sure, but do you guys think that we will get even better price for Cub or his line will go down?
I think Cub line goes down before fight gets closer. Casuals are late with their betting and they will recognise the name and bet Swanson.
 
At closer odds I'd probably be on Max too. Hell, I don't even mind a play on him at current odds. I'm just trying to look at both sides here, and I feel like Pettis isn't being given enough credit. We're talking about a guy who has fought the best of the best at LW, has finished his last 5 wins and has proven to be as durable as they come. I look at the Oliveira fight differently than you do and I also felt like McGregor was well on his way to finishing Max before the knee injury/grappling started. To me, this is a fight where one guy has at least a decent chance of finishing and the other guy has a very small chance. Hence, why I'm planning to be on Pettis NSC, pending odds of course.

It would be foolish not to give Pettis credit but Holloway is simply excellent with a reliable style to win rounds, better boxing with more volume. Holloway has a big winning streak and improving fight by fight. I don't think Pettis has bad cardio but this is his 2 fight in FW, The weight cut is not going to be any point in favor. But the most important, Holloway can switch stances. I like him a lot more if he fights southpaw.

I remove from the equation the grappling (where Pettis excels as you said), Holloway has thrown 3 takedowns in his UFC career. Pettis wrestling offense is the weakest part of his game and rarely goes for the takedown (He tried some takedowns against Barboza when the brazilian began to frustrate him iirc, If I was him I would try to force a grappling fight since the begining but that's not his style) + Holloway footwork and TDD are good.

Pettis is a hell of a fighter, durable and always dangerous but honestly Holloway is on another level imo.

yeah i like gastelum in this spot, even with the size disadvantage. they're both good wrestlers but i think gastelum has better boxing. not to mention, 2 years on the bench at age 37 isn't confidence inspiring.
 
Kennedy has sneaky power i remember he rocked bisping a few times and his power seemed to make bisping really hesitant. Kg ate woodleys best and didnt flinch. I like kg here.
 
I'm on board with KG too. I had 1u on him at +140. Just added .5u at +130. I think he could end up the favorite by Sat, or at least a pick 'em.
 
I pulled the trigger now on Cowboy, big. I debated waiting for reduced but I'm really worried he ends up like -350 or so by Sat. Maybe I'm misreading where the line could move but I'd have way more regret missing out on him at -260 and having to pay -320 or whatever than I will betting him now and possibly getting -220 or something later. I'm comfortable with the line (given my analysis here, VERY comfortable LOL) so just gonna pull the trigger now. If his line improves somehow, I can't say I'll add. There isn't an obvious hedge. Maybe Brown KO? Going 5.2u to win 2u now. Plus I have him in parlays. Gonna end up as possibly my biggest pre fight play in a long time.
 
So yeah just posted it in the wrong thread, but Cub's ML @ 2/1 looks like crazy value to me. Even thought it was a mistake when I first saw the lines. Sure Choi has looked very good so far but he hasn't fought anyone of Cub's calibre yet.
 
Gastelum will be ground to a nob. He has not bottom game, and Tim is bigger, stronger and a better wrestler.

Not a mistake, Cub's line is close to that on the US books.

Going big on Kelvin. Kennedy is one of the most overrated fighters in recent UFC history. Now he's 37 and coming off a 2 year layoff

I would guess it goes up also it opened at -245 went to -280 and now is -260. Matt brown has shown to be a durable fighter but in my opinion cerrone is better in every category. Love cerrone here as well and will take the -3.5 also when that prop comes out.

Then I'm unloading all over it. In this division Cub should only be a 2/1 dog against Aldo, Edgar, or Max imo.
