Any leans to Arnold Allen fighting Lentz?
I like her as well. She blew her knee out and is coming back from surgery but she shouldn’t be a dog hereI like kish vs pudilova as a +140 dog. No way should Kish ever be such a big dog vs a very limited fighter as pudilova. Pudilova is super tough and can push a pace. That is about it. She has very limited skills and will have a difficult fight vs anybody. I cap kish as a slight favourite.

give me a reason not to bet on anjos.i can’t figure out how chiesa wins,anjos is better than him everywhere.
So far I only like Landswehr at 2.00 and Kish at 2.35
Dos Santos odds are getting tempting but I don't see him submitting Blaydes nor winning by decision, so I will wait for his KO line.
I'll bet Johns if his odds get a lil' higher, same with McMann (I doubt her line will improve though)
Got to love all the alias accountsSurprised everyone is so confident in RDA. I favour him to win but not as a decent size favourite like he is. Chiesa is much bigger, 5 inch reach advantage, taller.
I would assume RDA is going to move and chop at the legs and just out manoeuvre Chiesa, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Chiesa bully him with his size and use his grappling effectively.
Plus RDA is getting older now, 35, a lot of fights a lot of damage, certainly past his prime where Chiesa has probably just found his weight class and is entering his prime.
Dog or pass for me
RDA is likely better everywhere but I could certainly see Chiesa winning a decision by just being the bigger fighter and using his strength to muscle RDA around long enough against the cage, drag him down a bit and grind on him. I doubt he can finish RDA outside of maybe a RNC - though even that would be surprising - but I think he could potentially just outmuscle RDA and win that way, similar to what he did to Condit and Sanchez.
Chiesa is a lot stronger at 170 than he was at 155, it definitely suits his body type more and he doesn't seem to slow down much now. If Chiesa can grab onto RDA and keep a hold of him, I think it'll get interesting and Chiesa could surprise some people here.
I know it was against a murderers row at 170, but in his last 4 fights RDA has been taken down 28 times and though it may be against lesser versions of what they were, Chiesa put on grappling clinics against Sanchez and Condit. He completely big brothered them both. RDA fights tend to play out a lot in the clinch against the fence and I think it's something Chiesa will look to exploit, getting into those situations and throwing knees to the body and using his size and strength advantage to negate the skill advantage of RDA and make it a gruelling fight that he can potentially win.
At +200 I'll have a bet on him, though it seems like his odds might get better still the closer we get to fight day, I imagine RDA will be heavily bet and in quite a few parlays so will hold off for better odds and keep an eye out for the Chiesa dec prop.

I am thinking the same. My biggest problem with Chiesa is he has holes everywhere. In his striking defense, gets submitted and can be taken down too. So while Chiesa can probably grind him against the cage for at least a round, I think RDA can drop him with leg kicks, take him down to win rounds like against Lee ( Who i think is a much better grappler than Chiesa ) , and possibly even submit him.This isn't the same stylistic matchup as CDF/Pettis, but it somehow reminds me of that fight. RDA is better than Chiesa everywhere. There really isn't an area for Chiesa to exploit, and RDA can exploit him anywhere. I'm not a guy that normally hunts down favorites, but similar to CDF/Pettis, I think there is a lot of value in RDA as a moderate fav here. Again, similar to the Pettis/CDF fight, I really think the only risk is Chiesa somehow landing something big while RDA is pushing forward. Other than that, I don't see where he really has success for any sort of extended period of time.
I have a hard time imagining Chiesa having any success, is he even the bigger/stronger fighter? RDA almost beat Colby and has massive striking and BJJ advantages here. (maybe wrestling too honestly)
I think I cap RDA -400 at least
Definitely a clear win, but I get what he is saying. Taking 2 rounds off Colby in a 5 rounder is solid.Almost beat Colby?
48-47, 48-47, 49-46.
Yeah, almost.

Dude relax, RDA has been fighting #1 contender for years. Chiesa can’t beat any top WW, WW suits RDA way more than Chiesa.RDA is likely better everywhere but I could certainly see Chiesa winning a decision by just being the bigger fighter and using his strength to muscle RDA around long enough against the cage, drag him down a bit and grind on him.
