      Sadly, I am not sure you can trust either one right now, McGregor is all over the place and TFerg is cryptic and still isn't even cleared to fight yet according to Dana.

      Still, I think the right thing to do is have Ferg, if cleared, fight JG for the next title shot, and make Connor either fight Diaz for the trilogy, or have him work his way up. I think Connor made a big mistake by ducking Cowboy and Gaethje, not only would those have been really popular fights but it would have justifiably put him back in the mix with a win. Now he's either going to get the Brock treatment, and get fast tracked to the top without merit, or slip away into "retirement." Who knows with those 2 anymore, I have to say that I am not that big on Twitter, but Tony is worth the follow. Such a weird dude.

        agreed id like the following
        Khabib vs Dustin
        Gaethje vs Ferguson
        Mcgregor vs Diaz 3

        and tbh Mcgregor wouldnt duck anybody, UFC wouldnt give him the main event PPV slot to fight Cowboy so he declined, which imo he has the right to do that, fighting wise none of those 6 people mentioned would "duck" anybody , maybe decline a fight for a business move but straight up fighting wise theyre ducking nobody imo

        Tony dropped a video with chicken nuggets and he always calls Mcgregor "Mcnuggets" thats where i got this from haha

              You're right, ducking would be the wrong word as it implies he is scared. Nonetheless, he has offers and he isn't taking them for various reasons. And I do agree that they should've made that a main, as they should Diaz vs McGregor (Dana is out of his mind again when it comes to PPV BS), but just from a fan standpoint, it would be nice to see Connor say penetrate it, I have enough money, and take a fight if he truly loves the sport. I think he would've destroyed Cowboy, and it would've actually help re-market him. He's a different person at a different point in his career, I understand, just miss the Conor that had something to prove. penetrate PPV, points, all that shit, and go out and get a W. And then bark back at Dana with money talk.

              Hell yeah, I saw that vid and got really excited, but cant tell if Tony is just stirring the pot. He did say he has a fight made, so we will see. Again, hard to trust either guy at this point as much as I love both as fighters.

                agreed with everything youre saying amigo... sucks when somebody you enjoy gets too big and they never fight or stay active like when they were truly hungry

                same goes for music you like an artist when theyre low key and coming up dropping songs every week then they get huge and you gotta wait 3 years for an album lol

                  brunson -120 over elias theodorou
                  easy money, in canada which will make me not max play this but will be putting a few units on this.. must win for Brunson

                  Iaquinta -150 over +120 cowboy cerronne tough fight... could see either guy winning this , lean Al with his aggressive style though but 5 rounds will be tough

                    Cowboy has been a money making machine, win or lose for me. Mike Perry took the fight to the one place where he was severely outmatched, and Cowboy took his wing. I was even more impressed with the Alexander fight, although I thought Alexander did not fight smart at all in pressing forward without utilizing any head movement. In saying that, I think Al can make him a little more uncomfortable with his pressure. The only way I see Cowboy winning this is by using his BJJ and getting a SUB.

                    AI looked as good as anyone has against Khabib IMO despite being mauled, and I thought he was even more impressive against Lee. You can't really question his cardio as he's gone 5 rounds in his last 2 fights, and really turned it on in the last 2 rounds against Lee. His ground defense was good enough to get out of a couple of dangerous spots in both fights. He isn't as quick as someone like Edwards, but does have power and really presses forward, which can give Cowboy some issues if he doesn't get in a rhythm. Hope I am wrong but I like Big Al in this one.

                      I like Cowboy here. His UFC record against Orthodox fighters is something like 14-2.

                        I hope you're right, a win against Al puts him back in the hunt. Willing to throw some BPs on it?

                              Is that (+110) or (-110) on Cerrone?

                                So as of right now, I have my estimated lines and quick breakdowns for the current Canada card plus the next 4 cards up to the prelims of the Cejudo vs Moraes PPV. Here are my estimated lines for the prelims on the Lee vs RDA card that have NOT been released yet. I'm trying to finish that PPV in June and also catch up on PFL starting next week and get into the 2nd week of the DWCS

                                Carlos Jr -150
                                Megan Anderson -110
                                Luque -200
                                Roberts -250
                                Arce -350
                                Ramos -125

                                  +110 for Cerrone. See the line is almost even now but that was the original offer.

                                      Liking Anderson Silva against Jared Cannonier for the next event. It's in Brazil and I don't see Silva and Cannonier doing much to each other. Silva by a hone crowd split decision.

                                          Aldo vs Volkanovski is most intriguing fight on the card for me, main event, Trinaldo vs. Ferreira, Barcelos vs. Nurmagomedon should be interesting too, overall decent card.

                                            I think Nurmagomedov pulled out and Barcelos has a different opponent now. I really like that Aldo vs. Volkanovski fight too.

                                                      I think he could beat Jibby with a Foot Stomp to the Toe but wouldn't pick Penn to beat any UFC fighters.

                                                        what you think about Anderson over Cannonier ... kinda like Silva at dog money , he looked good last fight
                                                        his chin is a little shot so he could get kod here but i think he could piece up the slower / bigger fighter for a decision win possibly

                                                          I'm actually going the other way. Think Cannonier outstrikes a shot Silva.

                                                            only thing that worries me is Silvas Chin , but this is a huge step down in competition ... if he cant win this fight he has to hang it up

                                                            should be interesting .... lots of make it or break it fights on this card

                                                                I think Silva has a good chance especially if it goes the distance. The fight being in Brazil might sway the judges in favor of Silva.

Here are my estimated lines for the prelims on the Lee vs RDA card that have NOT been released yet. I'm trying to finish that PPV in June and also catch up on PFL starting next week and get into the 2nd week of the DWCS

I'm much more confident in Hubbard and I anticipate dropping more at +300 or so and probably even more if this line looks like its going to come crashing down.
