[spurginobili]

Not much news about it, just wanted to make everyone aware that it starts tomorrow.

Week 1 - June 12[edit source]

Heavyweight	Alonzo Menifield	vs.	Dashawn Boatwright
Welterweight	Chris Curtis	vs.	Sean Lally
Heavyweight	Greg Hardy	vs.	Austen Lane
Bantamweight	Montel Jackson	vs.	Rico DiSciullo
Middleweight	Will Santiago	vs.	Kevin Holland

Looking forward to seeing Ex-Cowboy D-lineman Greg Hardy. Looks like he's KO'd all three of his opponents in about the first minute & 30 seconds of his fights.

Any footage of Hardy? Lane does not look good at all IMO but have no idea what to expect from hardy...

[PaperTrail07]

Lally , WOw....he is the DOG here......take the + $....

[Shagdogy]

This is just not an event to be betting. Lines are incredibly juiced and footage of many of these fighters is rare. Proceed with caution.

Can’t believe still no over unders. Wtf?

[Demonata]

If i didnt love losing money in baseball i would be betting this

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Austen Lane is also an ex-NFL player...one of them is getting KTFO

The super brief clips of each show that Hardy has more power in his hands IMO, but Lane is not afraid. Rushes forward into dirty boxing and tries to blitz through guys.

Gut says an athlete Hardy's caliber training full time at ATT should at least be able to show something for his time there.

I also think Montel Jackson looks like a real solid prospect. If I had to make a play, Jackson/Hardy parlay at +140 isn't half bad. Wouldn't commit much to it.

anyone have a link for this?

No doubt Jake. Combined, both of them have ended 5 of 6 fights in 30 seconds or less

[spurginobili]

Hope Santiago gets lucky

Only bettable option for the first fight

[Sanity Check]

Going small on Austen Lane. Mainly because of this & Lane's experience advantage.

Training with head coach Matt Vona at Bulldog Boxing in Jacksonville, Florida, Lane supplements his preparation at Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu along with regular sparring with heavyweight boxer Curtis Harper and wrestling practice with 2020 Olympic hopeful Alton Meeks, among others.

Fight is a toss up. Esp with heavyweights. May as well roll a dice.

[Shagdogy]

I really like Jackson. I like him a lot... but don't wanna play him -300 when I can barely see Disciullo other than highlight clips.

Would parlay with Hardy, but it's a fool's bet to play anything in that fight. For fun I just want this action, but flip a coin on Lane/Hardy. Ugh.

[Shagdogy]

Wow. Jackson was clearly the better fighter, and likely worth the -300 but those fouls and point deductions would've had me absolutely losing it. Let's see if Hardy wins now... could've been a nice +150 parlay if so.

Took Lane as well

[spurginobili]

Damn...Hardy's got power

[Shagdogy]

Damn. Shoulda played the +150 parlay.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

vicious ko by Hardy

[turbozed]

I played Montel and Menifield for a -150 double. Montel looked like he should've been an even bigger favorite. Now let's hope Boatwright is as terrible as I think.

[PaperTrail07]

fights have been good HARDY looked good IMO......peavy always use REDDIT MMA STREAMS

anyone have a link for this?

quick 9 second fight haha

Well that was easy. Fun quick night of fights. Really digging contender series.

How come MMA fighters like Austen Lane, CM Punk and Dashawn Boatwright who say the nicest and most PC things habitually seem to get their butts handed to them?

Solid technical commentary by Michael Bisping. He made several good calls & predictions tonight.

"MMA fighters like CM Punk." LOL.

[Sanity Check]

Hey. Hey. CM Punk always made weight, which is more than many legit "MMA fighters" can say.

Post some plays up before mate. Would love to tail since I won't have much time to cap anything outside of the regular UFC slate.

Will do. For this one, I didn't place a bet until about an hour before the event so people probably wouldn't have seen it in time. I'm also not too proud of high chalk parlays haha

[stonebanks]

That Hardy line was too good to refuse last night, it kept going up, not sure why. That was the only line I backed small as I did zero research other than knowing Hardy played nfl! 1 unit to win 0.76 units.

Good thing you didn't research his opponent since Lane also played for NFL. Might have put you off your bet.

Nick Newell next week oh my god. Dana really did this.

[PaperTrail07]

As he should....respect
