      Yeah I think this is the fight where we figure out where Cerrone's at. Is it only on a skid because he's faced elite competition or is he truly done after a long career of wars.

        Agreed, if he losses this fight its officially over for him.. I think Till is just an animal and is a TERRIBLE matchup for Cowboy
        Medeiros is slower and gets hit, Donald should tear this guy up

                  That explains your interest in the Jazz' games.

                      Yeah man. I love them. I just am getting bored of utah though, nice to ride horses etc and good mma gym called absolute mma but no casinos and watered down alcohol. Can only bet online unless i go to wendover.

                        How does Cerrone win this fight? Yancy is so damn tough.

                          i think he could win by decision, tko/ko or submission tbh....
                          i think hes better in every aspect of MMA then Meidoros other then toughness/chin and power strikes

                          but technically Cowboy is much better and should light him up imo... im thinking round round 3 tko
                          plus Meideros was just in a legit war against the lesser cowboy and was tagged/ hurt mulitiple times with a pretty fast turnaround

                                I'm gonna be there boys!!! Glad they decided to come to Austin, hope that Yancy and Donald make it to fight night. Was pissed when they pulled the Borg fight but if thats all that doesn't materialize, I will be happy.

                                  I would put Yancys chin as a top 5 right now, the man can take a shot. As tough as he is though, he does get hit a lot, and it worries me that he is due to get caught. If not this fight, than against a guy with more power (can you see him taking shots from Till, for example, and surviving?)

                                  Agree with Fire, Cowboy wins by outpointing him with his patented leg kicks and staying away from a brawl. He also needs to work on covering up the body better, I feel like he has Matt Brown Syndrome.

                                  If Yancy can hit him with a couple of combos down low, instead of going for the home run, i think he can put Cowboy away. It will be a battle of styles, will Cowboy win a technical fight or will Medeiros win a barn burner?

                                    agree Meideros is way to hittable , with a guy like cowboy that landes multiple strike combos hes going to get torn up , leg, body , head ... could see a nice rick story like finish for cowboy in this scrap

                                      The Cerrone/Yancy line is recency bias/results bias at work. Yancy's stock is propped up by recent comeback wins over Erik Silva (who is 1-4 over his last 5) and Cowboy Oliveira, a fight in which he took a tremendous amount of damage. His other somewhat recent wins were over Sean Spencer (no longer in UFC), split decision over Makdessi (2-3 in his last 5), Proctor (1-3 in his last 4) and Damon Jackson (no longer in the UFC). The concerns about Cerrone are obvious, but seem to be already baked into this line. Do people forget that he lost a very competitive decision to Robbie Lawler just ~7 months ago? Cerrone still is significantly better than Yancy everywhere. I jumped on Cerrone at -135 on for a unit on 5D and line has since moved up to -155.

                                        Love it, I went in early as well. I think Cowboy pick him apart.

                                          Interested to see the o/u for the Cowboy fight. Assuming they put it at 2.5, hoping to find decent +$ on the under.

                                          Very interested in Trinaldo and Gordon lines.

                                          Aside from that this is a largely no-play event for me most likely.

                                            I think Trinaldo is out at around (+170).

                                              Thanks for the heads up. Usually use my local but had to hop back on 5d for that one.

                                                  Tybura vs lewis is 50 50. Can't lean either way.

                                                    Looking at Lewis in 1st, if not I like Tybura to grind him out.

                                                      Seems like a good way to play it. Lewis is live against anyone since he's such a big puncher but not much of a roundwinner. Lewis will usually need a KO to win his fights. Would be good to see him develop some fundamentals since he threw all wacky shit in his last fight and it gassed him out.

                                                          I follow Lewis quite a bit since we are from the same area. I am just not sure he is really in it anymore, he talked about retirement after the Hunt fight. The list is long of fighters who say they are going to hang it up and still come back, but it makes me wonder. I hope I am wrong I have always rooted for him. Let's be honest also, he was GIFTED the Nelson fight IMO. I think Nelson provided the blueprint to beat him, and that is get out of the 1st and wear on him.

                                                            Think I have to go back and watch the Lewis/Nelson fight and Tybura/Werdum to get a better feeling on this fight. Both fighters have a similiarly impressive resume of wins/losses. Keep in mind that Tybura has somewhat recent losses to Timothy Johnson, who is an average UFC HW and by a loss in M-1 by TKO (doctor's stoppage). I tend to think this fight should be a little closer to evens and that Lewis at +125 is reasonable. I am a little wary of Lewis' back issues which I will have to look into more.

                                                              I like Lewis in his home state of Texas to get the win and probably by a nasty KO early. (i.e. bet Tybura).

                                                                  I think you have to go with Cowboy even though his chin and confidence is shot right now.. This is a winnable fight for Donald Cowboy though... Odds aren't to bad at -145 either..

Yancy's stock is propped up by recent comeback wins over Erik Silva (who is 1-4 over his last 5) and Cowboy Oliveira, a fight in which he took a tremendous amount of damage. His other somewhat recent wins were over Sean Spencer (no longer in UFC), split decision over Makdessi (2-3 in his last 5), Proctor (1-3 in his last 4) and Damon Jackson (no longer in the UFC). The concerns about Cerrone are obvious, but seem to be already baked into this line. Do people forget that he lost a very competitive decision to Robbie Lawler just ~7 months ago? Cerrone still is significantly better than Yancy everywhere. I jumped on Cerrone at -135 on for a unit on 5D and line has since moved up to -155.

I've been reading "Thinking Fast and Slow" and considering making a crib sheet to run my thought processes and/or fighter prices through the more significant biases and to see how that pans out. I'll post it here once I make it (or maybe pull one from somewhere else) if anyone is interested.

                                                                      I am interested to see your methodology and results of this. I constantly see biases born out in betting lines and some posters' handicapping of fights. A "breakdown" of Leech/Matthews I saw in one of the other threads was particularly shocking.

                                                                      I don't use a mathematical "system" or model to identify value in lines, I just look for the things that I consider most meaningful to profitability in gambling (I discuss some of them in my own bet thread), but I would definitely like to dabble in developing a more streamlined system to make my research/handicapping more efficient.
