UFC 222 - Edgar vs Ortega - Vegas

[mkess101]

Too bad Dern's line was already bet to absurd levels. At -300 it was rational at least, at -420 it's just silly. She's gonna run through Yoder, bad weight cut or not. But now even if this news means some $ comes in on Yoder, it's not gonna make Dern's line playable. Would have been nice if it was -300 now and Yoder got bet based on Dern's tough cut to where Dern was in the -250 range. Oh well.

I've lost a lot of energy for betting with the state of this card but I like money so...

Ortegas gonna beat Frankie, and he's a dog? Sign me up

Can anyone confirm this Sean o dude is legit? Because I know Souk is average at best

And is anyone tempted to jump on Yoder since Dern is struggling to make weight plus the old UFC debut crap?

Some decent money if you bet the three of them

Omalley looks very promising.

 

[pytycrys]

Dern will not make weight imo.

She is so thicccccccccccc.

Just gonna add another tick to the overweight fighter win column imo.

Oh yeah, but this time it's just gonna be because Dern is eons better than Yoder. I still won't pay this crazy juice on her though. -300 was a bit of parlay fodder for me (not big, but in a couple parlays). -250 range I'd go a lot bigger on Dern. -420 no thank you.

I do have Dern itd and KO bets too. Maybe her -3.5 will have value when 5d puts it up.

Call me crazy but I just put a u on Edgar by KO/TKO @ +930

1u seems a bit much for that prop, but the odds are solid. It's not like Frankie has never KO'd anyone.

I doubt it hits, but at +930 if it does you'll be pretty happy ha ha.

In 4 of his last 7 fights, one of which was a loss, he finished, and 3 out of 4 were KO/TKO.

I think we may get another reminder of how good of a grappler Edgar is.

It's funny to me too, that on a website linked to earlier, a guy was betting against Edgar. I'm shaking my head wondering if anyone ever made money betting against Frankie.

I wouldn't really be surprised to see that hit. Edgar can put an insane pace, especially on the ground. Tavares and Brandao both did fine on the ground with Ortega at first. I think one of Ortega's best attributes that carried him early on was his cardio and finishing ability late. With Edgar, you know he's going to be at the same pace in each round.

Aldo bettors

I disagree, but not because he's not capable of it. I just think he's a smart guy that's gonna take the path of least resistance.

That said, you could be right if Ortega is able to close the distance and pull guard. Then yeah, we could see Frankie show how good he can be with top control. I just don't think Frankie is going to initiate any grappling exchanges because...well...he won't need to.

 

[wack3d]

O Malley is hyped but I certainly wouldn't call him intimidating lol, especially with the new face tat.

I would be a hell of lot more intimidated by Luke Sanders than a white wiz khalifa

haha agree O Malley just looks like some skinny hippie kid to me i dont even understand the hype on him.. seems avarage at best.. has some potential sure but i think its some time away



ya this dude is proberly the least intimidating fighter in the ufc lol

 

[DarkneT]

See here's why I like Ortega

I've seen Frankie rocked and stumbling around more times than I care to remember
He always gets hit and hurt

Now anyone thinking Frankie will just outbox Ortega for 3 rounds has clearly forgotten Ortega has that 'fuck it' attribute in his arsenal
If he's down in he 3rd he's gonna go balls to the wall for a finish and I predict he will catch and finish Frankie
And I know

That's a fucking bold statement

I hope so. I don't generally bet longshots, but I'm happy to take my chances on this one.
