^ convincing arguments. All things that I’ve considered but just still felt favored Mazany in the end. I think Yanan ** might have a few ufc wins in her, we’ll see. I hope you’re wrong for my sake. Haha. Good luck this weekend man.

Can we at least agree that McCann is gonna roll?

**Shagdogy** · 05-24-18, 10:26 PM

Also, why does the forum censor Yanan **? What don’t I know? It’s making me feel out of the loop.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 05-24-18, 11:08 PM

God damn I hate Elias Theodorou. That due has got to have the worst fighting style in the UFC.

Yeah it looks like they brought in the worst fighter on the roster to lose to McCann. If Kailin Curran were still around, they'd have brought her in.

Meatball Molly is pretty easy to takedown though. Luckily, Gillian has no top control.

Lol, this is why I don't do Toutmaster. I have the luxury of avoiding watching Theodorou tape.

Thompson is not knocking Till out. I really think people are underestimating the crowd too. It is going to be RABID. The tix sold out in minutes, first event in Liverpool and an undefeated fighter born and bred there is headlining. I guarantee its going to be crazier than the dublin mcgregor card. I believe the walk is after 11pm, ill be surprised if WB doesnt get debris thrown at him. Another big thing too is WB is completely overlooking Till based on his interviews. I think Till is going to march forward and walk past the karate. Till is so god damn big too. Hes talking about moving up to 205 for gods sake. The size difference will be very visible come fight night

Size? sure it's a factor. But why didn't Bob Sapp, Hong Man Choi, Bigfoot Silva and Akebono for example not dominate the combatsports scene than?

good morning from Berlin my fellow degens

wanted to talk a bit about the amirkhani by dec prop that is currently at +240, and still quite bettable imo, i don't like betting on fighters that went through a huge layoff but from what i heard he stayed busy with some boxing, i expect this fight to be slightly won by knight in the striking department, and amirkhanis takedowns and athleticism to make the difference in a fairly close and disputed fight.

**SmellMyFinger** · 05-25-18, 01:53 AM

also +225 on davie grand might be worth a look , grant by dec +540

Maybe, but he is an adonis, a Greek god.

Such a beautiful man.

Good looking face, nice jawline and very sexy body.

Already put a good bet on Grant but that fight is off now.

**stonebanks** · 05-25-18, 09:59 AM

Late to the party.
intriguing line: Magny vs White
Decimal Odds: 1.72 over 1.5 rounds
Watched a lot of Magny, doesn't possess much KO power, only 2 wins by sub. White doesn't tend to get KO'd, last 10 fights ITD. Don't see him hurting Magny in stand up. Whites record 4/7 losses via sub. I see Magny decision here. 2 units. 0.5 units hedge of Magny by sub.

**PaperTrail07** · 05-25-18, 10:45 AM

and OK with pullin guard....3 rounder not a great idea unless you actually finish it

Totally possible. Bermudez reminds me of Charles Oliveira. Super dangerous but not very well rounded.

**PaperTrail07** · 05-25-18, 10:47 AM

such a not lose style...agree....up there with PHIL DAVIS for my most hated lol...

LOL You are trolling right. If you are not, Donald has been a bad example for you. Everytime I fart I win atleast as much as the mvp line you called here.

Nah. Doubt it.

I'm new to the forum but have been capping a while and thought I'd share my leans on some fights.

However it looks like Till has missed weight by 3.5 pounds and WB management is in talks with the UFC to save the card!

I know people said his cut was looking bad but surely no one expected this in the biggest fight of his life.

Looks like I'll have to look at knight and spicely as my main plays on this card now as I thought WB looked a gift

**kobejoshy** · 05-26-18, 09:20 AM

Till is going to have weigh in tomorrow and be under 188 lbs. Assuming he gained 10 lbs of liquids today after he missed weight I bet he will be close again. Thompson seems like a good play considering Till will likely still have a weight issue tomorrow and could be drained from it.

**Biffsbook** · 05-26-18, 11:11 AM

Seems a good move by Thompson to get Till to weigh in again tomorrow, looks like there's been another line change now as well.

The stoppage in the late rounds on Thompson seems to have more value now.

Looks like meatball missed weight as well, what's up with the scousers!

**JIBBBY** · 05-26-18, 12:01 PM

I really don't like these Sunday over seas cards.. Brit cards can be tricky to bet.. Just pointing that out.. I may go light with betting this card or alot of safe play hedging again. Last Brit card I think crapped out on..

I got a nice little 2 card winning streak going and I desperately want to keep that trend going

This card just has me spooked and I can’t quite place why. I will be light with bets too.

Welcome to the forum mate. We're glad to have you.

**SmellMyFinger** · 05-26-18, 05:10 PM

sounds like till might be one of those extreme cutters that really get hindered by a surplus of media obligations in their first major step up, feeling even better about my WB pick... if it happens

**Sanity Check** · 05-26-18, 05:12 PM

Did Darren Till have cardio issues in round 3 of his fight with Nicolas Dalby?

Missing weight could help Till to last 5 rounds.

The streak of UFC fighters missing weight & winning fights must come to an end.

Something is bound to happen soon. The pendulum has to swing back at some point.

Half the purse penalty? Why not? Trainers will like it even less, and really strive to get their fighters right.

He injured his shoulder and panicked in that 3rd round with Dalby. Hasn't really gassed significantly in any other fight, and this will be his 2nd time training for a 5 rounder.

**Bad Tattoo** · 05-27-18, 03:13 AM

Wonderboy takes this. Darren will gas out.

**Bad Tattoo** · 05-27-18, 03:52 AM

Till has to weigh in under 188 lbs before the fight...usually he walks in there closer to 200 no?

**Bad Tattoo** · 05-27-18, 03:57 AM

**Bad Tattoo** · 05-27-18, 04:33 AM

Till doesn't sound confident that he can stay under 188 lbs by fight time.

**leovegas** · 05-27-18, 04:36 AM

Till up to +130

**Bad Tattoo** · 05-27-18, 04:48 AM

anyone think Darren Till is juicing?

**RussianMike** · 05-27-18, 05:43 AM

How about booting them out of that weight division for a year or two? Automatic move up one weight class.

How's everyone see knight vs makwan? Apart from the main event this seems like the next best fight on the card.

I think knight will be most dangerous if the fight goes to the ground where he can use his subs and capitalise on makwan using his wrestling. Makwan has been pretty inactive lately and apparently he's been focusing on his boxing but him training at SBG is a red flag with their current form.

I'm leaning knight ML @ 1.61 and knight inside the distance via submission @ 3.1
