i have omie at +1400 by decision.
I realize that but what makes you say that's a middle?

if omie wins R1 or R2 he can "freeroll" both sidesI realize that but what makes you say that's a middle?
Twitter, Joey oddessa retweeted itWhere did you find this info?
Solid
Werdum does not fall apart, he explodes. Stipe tagged Werdum and he went for the kill failing completely. Overeem was extremely close of finishing Stipe and then fell apart. Their mental weaknesses are opposite sides of the coin, which makes this match-up so fun.Werdum on the other hand hasn't showed us any chin issues, nor a tendency to fall apart when things don't go his way.

He should never be over -150 with that chin. Overeem is the definition of a fighter that can easily go from "damn hes looking good" to "he's out cold!" in an instant. The turning the back and running to reset habit he's picked up is going to screw him at some point as well

did Overeem look like a -300 favorite in that fight?
Damn Im worried that Whittaker damaged his ankle during this media workout. Im going on the Romero train, he looks in Best shape and always finds a way to win fight.. besides Robert maybe damaged his ankle what will affect his tdd
I expected this question lol
Answer..
It was hard to say...most awkward HW superfight maybe ever. With Werdum constantly flopping to his back there was no rhythm to be had. That said Reem won 30-27 on at least two cards IIRC. I remember think Werdum did well but thinking Reem clearly won.
I just think stylistically Reem is a terrible MU for a now FORTY year old Werdum.
If you're going to build the perfect person to beat to beat Werdum you would construct a K1 level kickboxer with virtually impenetrable take down defense. Meet Alistair Overeem.
The only thing that holds me back from going multi units on Reem is the area between his ears. It wasn't constructed with the same structural integrity as his marble carved chassis. He can melt down. Get punked. And wilt. Vitor. Rumble. Melvin. Tito. Reem.
Nevertheless, I think Werdum has hit a wall and Reem still has the same speed and power on top of years of kickboxing technique.
my guess is that blaydes will be at worst a -500 going into the 3rd if he loses either round 1 or round 2 and i doubt omie gets a finish in the third unless blaydes gasses
i just need one round and for the fight to get into the 3rd
if you think omy can win one round maybe omy +3.5 +400?my guess is that blaydes will be at worst a -500 going into the 3rd if he loses either round 1 or round 2 and i doubt omie gets a finish in the third unless blaydes gasses

there is a chance that rheem will be -250 or 300 after teh first round and werdum will be a great live bet if hes not down 10-8
Just watched Reem and Werdum. In total agreement Reem has looked real good even in defeat to Stipe. He has nearly perfected his new method of out fighting. If tonight goes well i will be betting Reem for sure.
Remove the Stipe fight — as the champ is crumbling EVERYONE — and you get a fighter who has been KO'd 3 times in 23 fights. That's THREE times in TWENTY-THREE fights in the HW division.
Further, this spans NINE years!
This is extremely impressive considering that he fights in the HW division. That is the the division with the highest percentage of KO finishes. Specifically, as of 2016 you have 77.6% of the UFC heavyweight fights ending in a finish.
So Reem is getting finished 13% of the time over nine years. That's really remarkable actually.
Furthermore, as mentioned, the KO losses were in bizarre circumstances. The first to Browne came in a fight where he nearly beat a man to death and just ran out of steam. He's corrected this approach.
The other KO coming in the 3rd round to Bigfoot Silva where he was up two rounds. In hindsight it's not as bad as it appeared at the time. Like Reem, in 2013 BF was juiced to the fucking gills and not only survived three rounds of Ubereem but shortly thereafter withstood 25-minutes worth of bunker busting bombs from possibly the hardest hitter in the division in Mark Hunt.
His only other loss came to what was at the time a supernatural Ben Rothwell who had won 6 of 7 fights. That was six finishes in seven fights. Including snatching Brendan Schaub's soul, flatlining Matt Mitrione, clubbing Brandon Vera like a caveman and forcing the seemingly "untappable" Josh Barnett to instantaneously tap to a standing guillotine. Once again, it's safe to say, that with hindsight — like BF — that is not as bad a loss as it once seemed.
Looked like he was gonna die @ weigh inRomero always makes me profit. Him ITD +220 is a steal.
