UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao ( July 19, 2014)

[Mercersux]

Anyone else love a Mcgregor/Nelson parlay. Pays about -200. Only thing thats makes me a bit hesitant is Cummings. Guy is pretty durable but i think Nelson comes back even better every time.

Thinking about autofading Krylov for the third time, any opinions either way?

I have a straight bet on Gunnar Nelson.
But I can't bet against Diego Brandao.
Look at the KO at 1:03, lol.

[Keyboard Warrior]

same here gunshard, riding with my boy Kotani. I cant believe he is only 32. This guy was fighting before the zuffa bought the UFC

I think Diego has a better chance of winning than Zak. Diego will be dangerous for the first 7 minutes.

I totally agree with you. Diego can be an absolute killer. I also know im giving up alot of juice in a situation where I would not be shocked if Diego won, but I also think Mcgregor is just too calculated. I have a hard time seeing him not be able to just pick apart Diego on the feet.

[Mercersux]

Damn that k.o was pretty bad ass....I don't see Mcgregor just running forward like a fool tho.

[TheCalculator]

I also think there are way smarter ways to play that fight than just laying -500 chalk.

Can't say i disagree....thats why i made it -200. I just think yes when you get sucked into playing chalk heavy parlays constantly your going to be buried in the long run. Choosing your spots isn't a bad thing tho. I feel this is a great spot. I'd even dare to say guar.....nah i shouldn't.

Do you just favor Asian fighters?

[Keyboard Warrior]

Gunshard think about a value play on Kotani his highlight is better than Parkes

[Vaughany]

I have a straight bet on Gunnar Nelson.

why haven't you put McGregor's highlight next to it to compare speed?

[marzwoody]

I'm on brandao.. KO or sub MBS if it ends in first round... honestly hope he starches him.

[JIBBBY]

Back to work with this card!!!

I haven't even looked at this thread until now.. Geeeezzz.. Not alot of down time between cards this go around...

[Keyboard Warrior]

Do you just favor Asian fighters?

?? Do you think Parke is actually priced right? Kotani has a huge edge in grappling. Just match their skill sets and then look at the lopsided line.

I support one asian fighter and get called out, And people go around calling Machida a chink on the message board and that is okay.

Isn't he a chink?

[Keyboard Warrior]

yes he is a chink, but no one asked you if you only support white fighters.

Kotani literally is one of the best submission artists of all time. He has multiple subs that almost no one has ever hit MMA and probably never will. Parke looks like a generic fighter to me. Im playing Kotani for the price. Yes I know asian fighters well, and they always get faded by the public. And they have been doing quite well for me. A couple cards ago I think I hit 3 asian underdogs in a row.

I was going to skip this event because I'm gonna be raving from Friday night thru Sunday afternoon but I think I like that play. Gold luck pal.

I actually agree with the Bleacher Report predictions for every prelim fight on the Dublin card.

NOT going to happen kid! Half my bankroll on a McGregor/Nelson parlay! Will be putting 10 units on McGregor via TKO! 3 units on Mcgregor ending the fight in the 1st!

[Skel]

McGregor ITD -190.

[mirinquads]

Manlet fight incoming. Creepy is better techincally but Pickett will be coming forward swinging bombs the whole time. Hard fight to call, thoughts?

[Keyboard Warrior]

who cares, f0ckin' manlets. take the smaller hawg and move on.

[mirinquads]

But who has the smaller haawg? Can we get some analysis here???

Goddamn wasteland for cerebral hog analysis up in here

[Keyboard Warrior]

my little sister is in 8th grade and bigger than these manlets. F-cking joke watching deformed looking babies fight in a cage.

Kinda liking American Top Team's Brad Pickett fighting back in London in this one.... This is gonna be a good brawl!!! I'm looking forward to this fight actually just like LOCKSMITH is..

Ian is tough and lost only to some very stiff comp lately but I do think Brad Picket might be the better brawler on home turf... Picket can win fights with punches or sub's too..

London? Jibbeh...

Born and not fighting in London Skel - typo, my bad.. LOL...and isn't that close enough to Ireland anyways?.... I guess you can call that fighting back on home turf or am I reaching?

I'm sure he had a much shorter trip than McCall and didn't have to deal with any jet lag.
Interesting fact: 4 of the 7 Americans on the card (Donovan, McCall, Dempsey and Cummings) bear Irish names and all 4 of them are fighting non-Irish opponents. I wonder if they'll get any support from the local crowd.

They get support, I'm sure Donavon, McCall, Dempsey and Cummings will be representing the proper McIrish wardrobes coming in. Those drunk Irish fans won't know the difference.....

Speaking of locations - I'm thinking the fighters training here in America (full time) or anywhere other then Ireland or England (full time) should have an advantage going in.. A small detail to consider.. Camps in the UK I believe are still a few steps behind the elite camps here in the States.. This is what I'm looking into now anyways as factors to consider...

Jet lag might be a good thing to consider on this card.....
