sadly people will say he was shot and whatnot... but they forget that against short notice OSP it was basically a draw after the first 3 rounds and jones only started winning in the 4th, after OSP broke his hand. Gane vs Jones might very well be the biggest title fight domination in modern UFC history.

Any thoughts on Ribovics vs Radzhabov? I don't really understand the current line. I must admit that I haven't watched to much of either guy but from what I have seen I can't really justify the +215 line on Ribovics.
He looks really solid and can crack for sure. Wasn't too impressed with Radzhabov in the Raush Manfio loss.

It boils down to how Ribovics deals with the wrestling, and his gas tank since Radzha is damn near impossible to finish.
I get the line in that Loik is by far and away the more proven guy of the two and will never stop trying to win.

If anyone is planning to back Gane I think the time to do it will be soon, definitely don't wait until Thursday / Friday. By the time the open workouts, face off and weigh in happens I'm sure the line will move towards Gane a bit if Jones underwhelms / looks slow at open workouts etc.

I don't see the line moving a lot either way, but could a little. I was thinking when people see Jones looking decent carrying the extra weight it might even bring more $ in on him but even then I just see minimal movement from here. But...I've been wrong before haha!

Huge step up for Ribovics. The level of competition isn't even comparable. Esteban has power but as @Thesnake101 says Loik eats big shots for breakfast. The only thing I'd really be concerned about is the short notice.

Yeah, I think Loik should win comfortably but it could be a Charles Johnson situation where the short notice really screws things up.
Hoping o1.5 gets some decent odds due to recency bias from Ribovics' record and Loik's wins over Aliev and Zane. If it's anything remotely close to what Loik's ML currently sits at then I'll hammer it.

Could be...But also could be that the casuals are gonna pour it on Jones because of his name on fight night...

Brunson's corner threw in the towel relatively quickly during his last fight and he was still put out cold. They may be even quicker this time if he appears hurt.
Brunson may just be there to finish out his contract and not actually willing to fight through adversity if he gets hurt. Thats not a fighter anyone should be confident backing.

Please world keep pounding Jones's line so I can get even more value on Gane.
I thought the line when it opened Gane as a fav was fair. Now this is getting crazy.

I'd bet him ITD. A guy who goes all out vs a guy who's spoken of retirement and probably on his way out, has gotten wobbled even in his wins, and coming off an ugly loss.
Truth.

Du Plessis has not looked like a solid fighter at all IMO. His wins have been almost bizarre to me. It's like he makes his opponents have one of their worst performances. That's the thing that worries me with Brunson too. He can definitely fade at times and fold to powerful guys.
Reminds me of the time everyone thought Yan was a lock against O'Malley and dumped his -275 ass into parlays.
Anyone think Blackshear is being overlooked? I think he's actually pretty solid and has the experience advantage here. He gassed in his last fight, but he took that on 10 days notice and still brought it to Zalal (who's underrated himself imo).
I'm not really sold on Farid as much as I am with his brother. He mostly looked good in his DWCS fight, but that was against a kind of mediocre brawler, and he hasn't run over his low-quality competition as much as he should have.

I’m not saying to bet Brunson but paying chalk for du plessis or throwing him in parlays is a bad move
dog or pass or find a prop you really like
