Any more thoughts on the O2.5 in Jotko/Scott? It seems solid but I am hesitant to bet on overs with fighters who are still improving a lot between fights.

One of my biggest plays of the card. Jotko is not a hard hitter, and Scott is a grinder who relies on basics. Plus both fade a bit, so I see the pacing getting progressively slower and uglier. Obviously there is a concern when Scott has finished all of his wins, but overall I like this play a lot.
 
From the MMA Vivisection - says Pickett has been dropped by Michael Mcdonald and Thomas Almeida

Rivera has been dropped by Takeya Mizugaki and Edwin Figueroa

I think Wineland dropped Pickett and Lineker did drop Rivera.
 
Just wanted to say this. Feel free to share your feelings as well, gents, interested to hear it.

I am PUMPED for this main event. So intriguing and consequential. Besides McGOAT and the Diaz bros (and maybe Jones), Anderson is my favorite of all time. I've also always been a Bisping fan as well, even when people hated him, and movies can't tell better stories than this. Imo, it will literally be one of the most beautiful moments in the sport's short history if Bisping wins this fight. The guy has been relentless for YEARS in his quest for a title shot, and has fallen short at every opportunity. To be fighting the MW GOAT in his home country is amazing. Plus, Andy kind of needs this after the steroid bust. PLUS, on paper this is a very fun fight.

Besides Cruz vs Dillashaw and next weeks McGOAT vs Diaz fight, probably my most anticipated matchup of the year so far.
 
I agree, Joseph. These are two of my favourite all-time fighters actually, speaking of Silva/Bisping. I'm really excited to see how it plays out. It's an interesting fight style wise as well. Two smart fighters. I think Bisping overachieved his talent by a fair margin throughout his career (and that's a compliment to him!).
 
I will miss this one live since I'll be out of town, and I am bummed about it. This is one of those fights where it's better that both guys aren't in there prime because the gap has narrowed to where it's not inconceivable that Bisping pulls the upset. 5 years ago Silva would be capped at like -1200 LOL. At least now Bisping has a shot.

Yeah, can't imagine what Silva's odds would've been like a few years ago. Also think the added time adds to the drama. For those of us long time fans who have been watching Bisping since TUF 3, love him or hate him, this is an amazing way to culminate his long journey in this sport

I think Makwan/Wilkinson is tough. We haven't see Makwan fight much, and Wilkinson's had a long layoff. In this speculative circumstance, I lean toward the dog if there's it's a big enough dog.

Watched a bit of tape on both even previous fights and still reckon makwan is going to have his game, guys been grappling and wrestling for many years, think its something like 200+ wrestling matches, think he even teaches it he said in an earlier interview he welcomes if Mike goes for the take down since he is the ground specialist so reckon he is planning on doing what he says putting mike to sleep via a sub, just like he did in his last fight against fullen.

I do however prefer makwan to finish, guy sometimes goes for some ninja flying knee moments but the sub prop is what I imagine should hit, or su mak for safest.

I have no idea what plo is, but in terms of unit sizing is a grand a normal bet for you or is it like ten times a normal ML bet or five times? Just trying to gauge how confident you are in Leites.

plo is Pot Limit Omaha which is a form of poker. This is a big play for me.

I am going to hate doing this so much but I have to play Bisping at this price. I had a thread when the fight was announced guessing what the line would be and told myself I would have to play him at anywhere near +200...

I was honestly expecting Anderson not much over -200 all things considered.

I am really trying to separate my fandom from my brain in the Main event here because I LOVE Bisping at this price. Like some of you just said, Anderson is easily one of my All-time favs and I would hate to see him lose this fight as it would almost assuredly by the end of his career in any meaningful sense.

All of the X-factors are pointing to Bisping in this fight. The Age, Silva's layoff, hometown advantage, Bisping's motivation. It kills me but I am going to be BIG on Bisping.
 
i think i might do a small play on bisping/pickett double, think both could definitely win

think khabilov humiliates parke though

PLO is life <3

So much chasing and huge swings. I like it but I have to be in the mood. I admire people who can play a lot of PLO. Like being on a roller coaster for 6-7 hours every session. Haven't played in awhile, the casino near me is hit or miss if they even have a game going. But even when I do go and there's one going I'll just play hold 'em most of the time.
 
I am a bit confused at people playing Bisping. I understand that Silva is coming off PEDs, a broken leg, back-to-back losses and a lackluster performance. But to me this is a horrible style matchup for Bisping, and Bisping's eye injury seems to expose him to Silva's best attacks. Also Bisping has seemed to decline in recent fights. I thought he would have a relatively easy time with Leites but that fight was extremely close and he almost got finished.
 
I just watched Embedded and I'm already feeling a bit differently. Silva's style is based on timing, reflexes and speed---all of which go away with inactivity and age. Roy Jones Jr. is an example of it.

Bisping's style is much more likely to work into old age since he is more reliant on volume and cardio. Physically, I haven't seen Bisping looking so solid in a long time. Interesting!
 
Only watched a little tape but I like the under 2.5 for Gouti/Packalen a lot. Both go for finishes at any opening and don't seem to play the "win the round" game. Obviously the level of competition is different for most of the fights but combined 19 fights between them and only 3 have gone to the cards. I think at +135 this has a lot of value. Putting a couple units on it.
 
Just found out me and thibault gouti have the same birthday lol .. This Saturday

5 years older than me to the day
 
Can a Brit translate this for me lol



This is what I hear:
"Mike?!"
"Are you scared?"
"No I'm not scared I've got 14 misses" (14 women)
