Holobaugh vs Salmon

Thought Dana picking both Holobaugh and Salmon was the right choice.

Bounced back on this one. Meant to post before.

Had Sanchez, Zuzu (+180), and Ricky (+130) plus the OVER 2.5 in the Salmon/Ricky fight as my biggest bet. Threw some in on Bassette late but still won about 1.7 units. Fights were awesome as well

I laid only 2 bets, Sanchez to win and Sanchez over. Didn't have time to study the fighters. Holobaugh looked like a freakin beast! Scary AF. I think they should've gotten Byrd a contract too, he looked amazing. But I realize they can only take one or 2 fighters.

Problem is Byrd fought a guy that should be opening cards on LFA right now. He was supposed to face Justin Jones, a former TUF competitor so he got the short end of the stick. He's probably too small and not a good enough wrestler to make the UFC at MW. I liked Sanchez a lot but the line seemed short for a former UFC fighter against a guy that isn't close to that level yet.
