Grasso x sub +800
I think that this is worth a flier. Alexa has a very active guard game where she's always throwing up triangles and armbars and nearly caught Inoue in one of them who is an excellent grappler. If Herrig takes her down don't be shocked if she gets subbed. Kinda like a Benson to Showtime quick sub on the mat. Value here IMO
torres RD3 +1800 on BM.. taking a shot.
Andrade could very well finish her early and quick. I like her chances in finishing hill with a sub or a TKO/KO in 12.5 mins. Covers if Hill finishes too. The under at plus money for 2 and a half rounds is excellent.
Andrade would finish her if she had the guillotine, her squeeze is no joke.
I would think some GnP is more likely if he took him down, he hasnt got a single sub win.Another juicy sub line is Blaydes +850. You know he's going to take Milstead down, so when that's his highly likely strategy it's a pretty absurd line
Definitely more likely but I have a rule where if the line is this juicy and you know the guy is gonna take it to the ground I'll take a shot. Only .3u for me.I would think some GnP is more likely if he took him down, he hasnt got a single sub win.
Heck fight reaches decision is +110. Im on that for a unit. Maybe 2.Anyone Like Ricardo Ramos decision at +650? He's a finisher and works for it but Tanaka hasn't been finished and only loses close decisions. More often than not, this fight reaches decision.
Yeah this bet is one of my bigger risks on the card. Tanaka survived Yahya's grappling, and while Ramos is more athletic and seems more opportunistic where as Yahya is more reliant on his skills, thats still enough for me to believe Tanaka avoids the sub. Think hes tough and moves in and out well enough Ramos won't KO him. And as far as Tanaka is concerned, hes a decision machine (EDIT looked at his Sherdog page and his last 6 fights are decisions. Confidence increase.) No real power in his strikes, and on the mat he doesn't hold positions very well and isn't aggressive with subs.Heck fight reaches decision is +110. Im on that for a unit.

Definitely think the line is off and its a solid bet.
That Ramos dec line is also one of six in a small hail mary round robin I have. Hes likely to be the aggressor and his instincts look potentially superior to Tanaka's kind of low fight IQ so I could see him just out work Tanaka here. Was gonna stab him as a dog but opted with the decision line which I think is the best bet on this fight for sure.

EDIT: Kinda large but 0.5 units.
Wow 12 units braver than me! If you look at Ham's record he has never lost to anyone bad he's just a mediocre HW and this guy isn't even a mediocre MW. He also has a ridiculously high takedowns defended percentage. I've got 1.5 units on Blaydes + Grasso. I was going to add another few but i might switch the rest to Ham + Grasso.
If Hamilton loses this fight, I will eat my hat. There are so many flakes on this card though it's hard to trust your money anywhere. I just don't see how Hamilton loses fight to a natural middleweight taking the tilt on just two weeks notice with no knock out power, terrible wrestling, limited striking and pitiable conditioning. Meanwhile, Hamilton is 50+ pounds heavier, isn't a fish out of water on the mat owning a BJJ brown belt of his own, wrestled collegiately and trains at one of the top five mixed martial arts facilities in the world Jackson-Winkle MMA. Again, Hamilton would really have to slip on a banana peel to find a way to lose this fight. I mean, Hamilton trains daily with fighters that for exceed anything that his Brazilian opponent can begin to offer.
Isn't he American?
EDIT: He is Brazilian. Who da fook is that guy.
EDIT 2: I know who da fook he is. He lost to Cory Hendricks on TUF23. Ha.
