what we think about flick vs durden boys

Could be some fun scrambles. Line probably about right from what I've seen of both (which admittedly isn't a ton). Flick catching a sub early wouldn't shock me, I could see Durden having success with sprawl n brawl.

I have Durden +135. Not a confident bet.

 

[Kamais_Ookin]

i don't see live bet on b365

 

[PuertoRican]

Damn. I thought I was being sneaky by fading Giagos as a big favorite on DraftKings.

Giagos is going to score a lot of points with TDs, advances, and GnP.

 

[mkess101]

In Carlton Minus, we've found a fighter that's made it to the UFC without realizing that having your opponent in your full guard is better than having them take your back.

 

[BigSteve]

if Giagos cant finish this fight he should be ashamed

 

[letmebangbrah]

Minus might be one of the worst fighters I've ever seen. Giagos isn't much better not being able to finish yet.

 

[mkess101]

Giagos is gassed from dominating grappling vs a guy who looks like his bjj coach is James Toney?

 

[Broe.]

is minus the worst male ufc fighter in the roster?

 

[sonhow]

Minus opened as -365 favorite vs Semelsberger

 

[Broe.]

Didn't end up killing you at all. No finish, and he stopped racking up pts about halfway through. For his price tag, the fade probably looks good now.

Rick Glenn is probably sad he had to pull out of his fight with Carlton Minus.

He should score you should score at least you should score at least 100 points

Minus opened as -365 favorite vs Semelsberger

Yeah, Semelsberger was a juice bet back then. I believe pretty much everyone jumped on that.

It’s a shame Dana is cutting veterans with big salaries like Romero and literally trading away Mighty Mouse while employing cheap scrubs like Minus. I get it’s a business but kinda hurts the UFC’s credibility me thinks.

flick via R1 SUB lets goooooo

 

[mkess101]

He should score you should score at least you should score at least 100 points

Maybe around that? But at his price tag, that doesn't mean he'll be in the GPP winning lineups necessarily at all. He could be, but not even close to a guarantee.
