I think he's pretty shot but that number is still a bit wide.

no doubt hes looked like trash lately losing a ton of fights 2-8 in his last 10 but hes fighting some decent guys
Bryan Barberena isnt anything special, basically its win or retire for Ellenberger with this fight.. guy has power and some wrestling
i dont think hes a fav by no means but +400 jeeze worth a small shot for that price imo

Check out Andrew Sanchez's Instagram. Training at Tristar and working on that cardio. Coming off of 2 KO losses will be tough for him but Perez gasses too and Sanchez has great wrestling. I like Sanchez in this fight.

**Demonata** · 08-16-18, 10:06 AM

This feels like years away lol.

**PaperTrail07** · 08-16-18, 12:10 PM

I like Sanders here..... BIG.... love Rani but age and cardio will get him the L here...

**Demonata** · 08-16-18, 02:13 PM

I might bet a lot on Michael johnson

**Teem** · 08-17-18, 09:26 AM

I gotta back Gaethje here. Even if he loses, it's fun to bet on him. The Highlight will always put on a show. He goes out there to fukin take his opponent's soul. WAR ZOMBIE

He is definitely a fan favorite and that fight against MJ is one of my all time favorites. Saying that, I really hope he protects himself a little better and utilizes some of his wrestling, even if its to engage in the clinch or change levels to set up his hands and deadly leg kicks. I'm just not sure he is built that way though, he's a warrior.

I despise Vick, but I definitely think he got the better of the trash talk in the presser, said some shit that ALMOST made me like him.

idk, Sanders got caught in a leg lock by Alcantra after beating his ass. Good chance he gets subbed in this fight. Maybe hedge Yahya wins by sub? It's +200 on 5dimes.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 08-19-18, 06:30 PM

Is anyone else going to be at this event? I just snatched up a few tickets.

**PaperTrail07** · 08-20-18, 11:12 AM

for sure....I jus think sanders should be more favored....don't even thnk I'll hedge...Roni is one of my fav's too

Should be pretty close to free, no?

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 08-20-18, 12:31 PM

never been high on Fili..MJ should be able to take him out if he fights smart.

Careful, been seeing Sanders is back at Nashville MMA training with bums. No longer at Blackhouse or MMA Lab.

Yeah super cheap since no one wants to go to Nebraska. Fine by me, who knows how many Gaethje fights we have left.

100% agree. He walks this guy down pretty easy.

**PaperTrail07** · 08-21-18, 10:37 AM

Sanders and Vick $$ Vick is laying $ on himself and I'll back that any day of the week

**Shagdogy** · 08-21-18, 11:38 AM

I took the whole two week break to chill and I'm just now hopping back into this card.

So far I have Gall/Sullivan as a no bet, with lean to Gall to win. In Dober/Tuck I like Dober a bit. I think he can keep it standing and win with volume and possibly have some success with his power. Both guys are pretty durable though, so depending the odds I will be looking at over or FGTD. I think this one could be pretty entertaining. And finally Moraga/Fig is a tough one to call. If Moraga had better TDD (he has a good getup game but just doesn't seem to prioritize not getting taken down in the first place), I would like him as the dog. As it stands, I would need better odds to bet him. Still not sure who I pick to win. Real close fight IMO. I can't unsee Fig's fight with Fontes where he was just wild and got dropped twice in the first round. It's worrisome.

**Shagdogy** · 08-21-18, 02:27 PM

Jojo/Faria... couldn’t bear too deep of tape study for this one. The quick of it is that I like fighters in their first fights moving up in weight. Jojo is moving up here and she looks much better physically if you check out her Instagram. Both girls stink on the ground and I wouldn’t expect the fight to take place there. Doubtful either seriously hurts the other on the feet. Jojo by close decision.

Last time we were on opposite side Paper you took the win. I'm not betting it. Just think he can walk this one down. GL

**unlearn** · 08-22-18, 03:40 AM

Mickey Gall has no business being a bigger favorite against Sullivan than he was CM Punk.

**PaperTrail07** · 08-22-18, 09:52 AM

Vick's reach is too much....guy goes for the kill too...still a chip on his shoulder-BETS on himself lol....love the attitude...We will see....

At the moment he isn’t. Gall closed at (-430) against CM Punk and is currently (-330) against Sullivan.

I'm not on Gall, but I have to question your logic here.

Gall should have been -5000 against CM Punk. The fact that idiots bet on Punk and kept it at -400 means you can never lay a price on Gall again because it doesn't compare with the Deal of the Century we got on Gall versus Punk?

No.

**Demonata** · 08-22-18, 02:12 PM

So pumped for this card. Michael johnson my most confident pick. Hits so fast and hard.

He also gasses fast and quits hard. He’s surely skilled. I don’t blame you for liking him but I’d be careful being too confident in a guy like that.

**Shagdogy** · 08-22-18, 07:12 PM

Capped two more today...

As much as I wanted to like Perez against Sanchez, I can’t pick him. Outside of the Janes fight I actually don’t think Sanchez’s cardio has looked that bad and he’s now at Tristar training with some big timers. He’s physically strong and fights well as the bully. Meanwhile, Perez is a bit small for the weight class and seems to lack game changing power on the feet. He thrives on countering TDs with his BJJ and against the bigger, stronger Sanchez this probably is a tough road. Sanchez has also never been subbed. I see this one looking similar to Anders/Perez with a bit more top time for Sanchez.

Next I capped Alcantara and Sandhagen... my notes after Alcantara’s last fight were to just shy away from betting him since he is pretty unpredictable at this point. However, hard not to like Sandhagen to win. He’s got a significant speed and variety advantage on the feet. Despite his last fight, Alcantara’s not a big sub threat and he really is getting old and battle worn. Sandhagen should win. Betting him at the current price? Prob not.

Excellent point. I'm picking Johnson but he is a flake.
