UFC 197 March 5th

**Pinocchio** · 01-14-16, 07:00 PM

Can't say I'm with you on this one. I mean, either fighter could win, but if this fight goes to the ground - and unless McGregor gets the KO in the first minute, it will go there eventually - I see McGregor's chances of winning this fight dropping considerably. I think Dos Anjos shows up on EPO again and wins this, but I'd like to see him at even odds before I put any bets in...

**bjpenn85** · 01-15-16, 06:55 AM

Since he more or less is always right im not going to bother trying to oppose his decisions anymore. But yes, this feels like madness. I dont see this matchup so loopsided as this wager imply.

**TPowell** · 01-15-16, 05:18 PM

any thoughts on the potential Cormier/Jones rematch? I thought Cormier gassed in that fight, but he got Jones into the clinch and couldn't do the damage that I expected. I'm thinking Jones should be close to -200 or so

Haven't thought about it yet, Jones Probable wins but i agree the line should be lower, I wonder how the added muscle will affect his cardio, plus with the layoff, I probable wont bet this fight, Jones should have took a tune up fight first IMO.

Lucky little bastard at 1:04

McGregor feels like a very square pick to me, but as we all know, Josh knows so you're loathe to go against him.

**opinionator** · 01-17-16, 11:14 AM

done betting against mcgregor. like him @ 2 to 1. not onna hype train but until he stops doing everything he says he's gonna do hard to pick against him

Rda is the square play, I post reasoning why in the link below, and on other threads in this subforum.

Break out the red panties, the king is bulking up, for the stuck in the mud division...

**mirinquads** · 01-19-16, 04:43 AM

That fight was probably Mcgregors most beautiful performance. Just fought perfectly. Enjoyed watching him much more when he was counterfighting instead of pressuring.

**UncleChael** · 01-20-16, 09:19 PM

R.I.P Josh.

**JoshKnows46** · 01-23-16, 05:27 PM

Mcgregor finishes in round 1 +400 $100

**JoshKnows46** · 02-03-16, 03:41 PM

Mcgregors really beefing up on his new all steak diet, he's gonna have to cut more weight than dos anjos. Rip rda.

**JC2008** · 02-03-16, 03:50 PM

Yeah this man has serious power in his hands and it's only going to be amplified a division up.

**JIBBBY** · 02-03-16, 05:15 PM

McGregor is gonna blow out a knee carrying around all that heavy muscle weight.. If not he'll gas out for sure if he doesn't get the KO early on... RDA is a beast and more well rounded..

RIP McMeat...

**JIBBBY** · 02-03-16, 05:24 PM

I must admit though RDA did get dropped one time in his career against lil heathen Stevens 7 years ago.. Jeremy Stevens hit like a truck back then... McFly better hope to do the same early on.. This is a different and grown up RDA today he will be facing in March...

Goodnight sweet prince, at some point in this fight, he's gonna taste the darkness again. El cucuy or kabib will be much much tougher opps for mcgregor. Rda is a great fighter, but he matches up terrible against mcgregor, kabib and Ferguson, he's 4th best in the division.

**TPowell** · 02-03-16, 06:45 PM

yep Conor gonna Conor in this one. RDA seems like a tough matchup on paper, but when you look deeper, RDA loves to wing punches. If he tries that in this fight, Conor will get him out of there very early IMO

**TPowell** · 02-03-16, 06:50 PM

Thinking of taking Conor ITD at -105. I missed the good opener. Staring at -135 and -145 in my 2 places now

**KingHawkins** · 02-03-16, 07:16 PM

Let's get it Josh. This was my initial limit bet at the opener. I should have hit it again at +105 after they adjusted it for me. I'm feeling confident about this one. Thanks for Rumble by the way, that saved my event.

We'll see about that ya little troll bastard.. Keep it up son as see what happens...

RDA could lose, but so can McGregor.. I'm not super confident either way but I am leaning RDA and that's why I'll prop hedge away and win which ever way it goes..

I can see Mcgregor with the first 1st round KO win if RDA is caught standing and nervous early on.. I also can see RDA putting him on his back and locking in a submission win over 5 rounds or pounding him out....

Sit back and watch the prop and hedge magic unfold on the event thread leading up... Already have these 2 props pegged down.. Either one hits I win.. It's like magic I tell thee with very little risk!!

1015 McGregor wins in round 1

<input id="editx" name="M1_66" size="4"> +275

1009 Dos Anjos wins inside distance

<input id="editx" name="M1_63" size="4"> +293

We'll McIrish has never fought at this weight carrying around all that muscle before, and he's never gone 5 rounds before either. His last 5 fights haven't gone past the second round.. He's only gone into the 3rd round once in his MMA career.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Conor-McGregor-29688

RDA has gone 5 rounds recently against Pettis with no problem.. This is RDA's natural fighting weight and I believe he will have a cardio advantage especially if there is some grappling going on....

He's fought at LW Jibbehh, this is nothing new to him! He had a career before the UFC! and yeah he hasnt fought 5 rounds before cos he knocks every bum out in the first!

RDA may well have a cardio advantage, that doesnt mean Conor is going to gas out

Well I know when I put on muscle mass I can't run as far as I can when I'm leaner..

Will Conor gas out I guess I don't know for sure but all indications point that he might since putting on all this muscle weight on very quickly and especially if alot of grappling is going on in this fight...

Call it a hunch IDK.. You don't bulk up to run a marathon, so this is why I like the RDA ITD prop if the fight drags on...

I like RDA if the fight drags on past the first round actually.. If the odds were a little better I'd play this prop..

1004 Fight won’t go 5 round distance

<input id="radiox" value="M2_60" name="radiox" type="radio">-350

Will live bet this fight most likely as it goes...

So basically you can see other guy winning by TKO, Submission, or decision? Great analysis there dip shit

Jibby, no offense but you aren't Conor McGregor athletically. He's putting on muscle mass while training hard I'm sure.

No offense taken, just throwing out opinions Tpow and nothing more as everyone does on this forum.. All good...

I'm not Conor McGregor you got that right but metaphorically speaking let's just say sprinters bulk up for the 100 yard dash, marathon runners trim down for the long cardio advantage..

How many times have we seen muscular fighters gas out in fights when grappling after a few rounds.. Romero is a good example of that.. McGregor bulked up fast and I'm not so sure his body and cardio levels have had time to adjust properly....

McGregors best chance is early on, and I believe his chances diminish if the fight gets into deep waters and into the championship rounds. That's why I took the McGregor 1st round finish prop as a hedge play.
