Re-ran the numbers and it looks like I slightly understated my UFC profit for the year. I've corrected it now.

What do you guys think about the McGregor odds that Kalikas has dropped on 5Ds?

Especially want to know what Jibs, BJ, and Fire think.

[getlucky2win]

What do you guys think about the McGregor odds that Kalikas has dropped

Sht limits and McGregor won't be fighting for awhile supposedly. And may not fight any of the guys listed in 2017

[TPowell]

I'm a huge Conor fan but I can't see him beating Woodley. I'd lay the -150 probably. Woodley wouldn't have problems getting Conor down and I don't think Conor could handle Woodley's power. Of course if you decide to fade Conor EVER, you may be better off waiting until late. Public money tends to come in on him late

Probably right there TPowell. I think I'm taking Conor against most of these guys. Hoping he fights Khabib next

[PaperTrail07]

If McG fought Khabib at

Sun 12/31		1001 Conor McGregor		-115
11:59PM		1002 Khabib Nurmagomedov		-115

I honest to god think I would cash out my 401K and just drop it on it .......that's not even a penetrating joke----I can take my losses like a man if shit hit the fan---love it also bc khabib has that respect factor...don think he would rig a fight----good man......---

[PaperTrail07]

I'd lay the -150 on Woodley as well.....anyone who wouldn't I BELIEVE does not know MMA lol...

[firekillex]

Just checked the mcgregor lines some of my thoughts
Diaz at +190 would be worth a shot because that's the only fight that motivates him in a 5 rounder that fights always a toss up because Diaz can handle mcgregors power

I don't think he ever fights Aldo again so won't even get into that unless it was announced tbh

-115 vs Khabib is a tough one , I really don't like Khabibs striking defense and in a 5 rounder which gives minimum 5 chances to stand up plus scrambles I could easily see mcgregor knocking him out with a straight left , especially when Michael Johnson was having success with it in the first round , Khabib could maul him as well the line is pretty accurate here it's the classic striker vs grappler whoever gets there fight going wins easily

then the Tyron Woodley fight .. when I was thinking about it before I thought it was a joke tbh because Tyron Woodley is a monster , but the more I think about it the more I can entertain the fact that mcgregor actually could possibly pull it off... Tyron doesn't always stay the most active and gasses pretty early , he doesn't deal welll with forward pressure like in the Rory macdonald fight he looked lost, in a mcgregor atmosphere he might lose his cool and blow his load early then if he shells up against the cage that would not be good... mcgregor is riding such a huge wave of momentum with his body tipe kick and boxing technique moving in and out he could possibly catch Woodley, it seems crazy because woodley has the size , power and wrestling , but Conor would have the same reach or more, he has the striking technique and he has an edge over basically anybody in the mental warefare aspect which people don't take account for .. Eddie Alvarez is no slouch at all and he absolutely mauled him... before that performance I'd bet the house on Woodley , but after seeing that and thinking back on how Woodley can be so inconsistent at times I'd maybe take a shot at mcgregor at over +150 nothing big but a small shot... all his future fights are super tough to call imo I'd more watch as a fan and bet small for any matchup I don't like going big on coin flips imo I like to find value on the lower end fights where there's a big edge for me

Yeah I feel the public would be on Khabib at these odds but I like McGregor at +odds in this matchup because of Khabib's so-so striking defense.

Thanks for your thoughts Fire. I think the Khabib fight in particular could be a dominant performance for either one. I feel McGregor could definitely beat Woodley, despite the size difference. Whatever happens, I'm sure we'll get a lot of great buildup.

Agreed it's either Mcgregor tko/Ko or Khabib submission for me in that fight I'd most likely go props

the Woodley fight is the fight that I think Conor's headgames would actually work the most and I'm a Woodley fan, Woodley is thick but mcgregor is basically the same height and might even have a slight reach advantage ... if mcgregor can use his movement to evade Woodley the first round and pick his shots he could start to tag him up and tire him out by round 2 and actually could pull off the 3 belt miracle... at this point you cannot doubt his striking and movement, against Eddie it was beautiful watching him bounce in and out . Woodley is just so explosive if he bounces in the wrong time it's either a huge double leg or a huge overhand that'll end his night so he has to be super careful

[firekillex]

Side note
super pumped for Brunson / Whitaker should be fireworks.. one of the most underrated fights of the year imo both these guys are dark horses in the MW division with mousasi imo would leave to see the winner get him and winner of that gets the next shot

I think with all of these spots, prop hedging is a good idea.

Love this fight as well. I think they should rebook Rockhold/Jacare and the winner should get the shot first. I like the idea of Mousasi against the winner of this fight though.

Assuming Yoel gets the next crack, then rockhold vs jacare gets next after that, then have this Brunson vs Whittaker and winner gets mousasi for 3rd in line would be the perfect scenario for me

not sure where weidman goes from here, rumblings of him possibly trying out 205 since it's so shallow right now

Agreed. I think Weidman is not a bad fighter but a bit overrated. Would like to see him at 205 as well. He would have a good chance at beating most of the top 10.

[GunShard]

I agree Weidman has always been overrated due to his past opponents situation.

[Rich Benjamins]

Interesting. Krylov vs Weidman would be a fight I'd like to see.

Bought tickets last night....... smfh

[getlucky2win]

Bought tickets last night....... smfh

U can get a refund

[firekillex]

already have friends meeting there and plans for the night ..... they said theyre looking for a replacement hopefully somebody like gus can step in... dc is a fckin bum and that camp seriously needs to change its training methods this is getting absolutely ridiculous... rockhold out , dc out, cain out every other fight, khabib out every fight just a disgrace to the sport at this point... they could have 4 champions easily but they are always hurt or out fckin garbage.... hopefully they replace this with something good because the card is still solid without it but i really wanted to see rumble perform dudes a beast

[JIBBBY]

Bought tickets last night....... smfh

That's sucks.. Demand a refund..

Then again, I'm sure the UFC will scout out a replacement to fight Rumble.. Still got a few weeks left to find someone..

What do you guys think about Holloway versus Pettis? Does the extra 2 rounds favor one of them more than the other?

[firekillex]

I got Holloway winning this later rounds imo 5 rounds help him as well imo I think he's gonna showcase his striking and length this fight

[Hugo de Naranja]

That's what I'm thinking as well. Hoping action comes in on Pettis so we can get a bit better price.
