But its a chick fight so they might just do standing hugs or laying down hugs until decision

Valentina is on a different level then all those girls its gonna be like JJ vs Esparza level

So far only bet i like is woodley. I figure i will lose all the girl mma bets i do then try to save my ass by betting woodley in the end.

[firekillex]

rivera vs dodson is an interesting scrap as well

[Sanity Check]

I haven't started capping this event yet its 2 weeks away.

Fighters I like on this card for name value.

-Frank Camacho. Has some cool and well timed judo trips.
-Ryan Benoit. One of my favorite fighters @ 125. Unfortunately not very active though.
-Irene Aldana. Good scrappy fighter.
-Abdul Alhassan. This guy is very athletic and explosive.
-Niko Price. Finished Randy Brown with hammer fists from the bottom last time out.
-Cody Stamann. This guy has been impressive and consistent in every fight he's had in the UFC.
-Zabit Magomedsharipov. He has one of the most unpredictable, well rounded, unorthodox fighting styles in the current UFC.
-Tatiana Suarez. Possibly the best wrestler competing at w 115.
-Jessica Andrade. She could be John Lineker's distant cousin for all I know.
-Darren Till. I think people are underestimating his pressure, pace and skill @ fighting long range.
-Diego Sanchez. The only guy from the 1st season of the ultimate fighter still in the UFC.

Surely they need to drop a chick fight from the main card, 3 chick fights in a row is to much. Dodson vs Rivera should be swapped with the Esparza fight.

[Teem]

People are loving Camocho at +odds. I don't know much about him though.

[Teem]

On 5dimes there's a prop for the Diego/Craig White fight that is Not White ITD at -102. I think that's money. I know Diego just had a couple brutal KOs but I think I'm going for it. He's never been subbed and this Craig White guy doesn't have power in his hands from what I know. I think Diego grinds out a decision or KO's Craig (despite not having a finish since 08). Would love some input on this.

Nice grab! It's up to -150 or so now. Still has value there imo.

Meh. One of them is a title fight, and Andrade vs. KK is main card worthy. The Suarez fight could be bumped but I'm sure the UFC wants to showcase Suarez so it makes sense.

I would put Price v. Alhassan or the Camacho fight on the main over Dodson v. Rivera, but that's just me.

i was looking at odds and made no sense, fight doesnt go distance was -115 but valentina ITD was like -140 lmaooo

I think if White wins it’s almost certainly by finish and probably early. I personally don’t like NOT White ITD as a bet

Action fighter with big power. Slows down in the later rounds. FOTN in his first few UFC fights.

I'm considering Diego as a dog bet then because I really don't think Craig White will win this despite Diego's past 2 brutal losses haha

i think it is solid. I don't like having three chick fights on payperview but each fight looks like a good fight with girls that are fun to watch and good matchups. Zabit fight is gonna be nuts.

[Thor4140]

rivera vs dodson is an interesting scrap as well

Another fight that could be a barn burner.

[Thor4140]

It really is stunning that Diego Sanchez is still being thrown out to fight by Jackson and the UFC. Enough is enough

Is it stunning Chuck Liddell vs Tito Ortiz 3 is happening?

Or is it only "stunning" when it fits the media's "evil UFC" narrative?

Not sure how that fits the media’s “evil UFC narrative”. Explain it to me

did u have to ask him that? On another note i guess the media has convinced me Diego shouldn't fight according to this idiot. Not the vicious knockouts he has been taken and some have been absolutely viscous. The only reason i can think of on why he hasn't been stopped from fighting is because they are afraid to hurt his feelings because he has so much pride. Somebody needs to step in. It is to much now. Oh and after watching a clip of Cowboy on Rogans show the Wink/Jackson camp is a total mess now. Who would have thought.

[Sanity Check]

It means.

Oscar De La Hoya can have 48 year old Chuck Liddell fight Tito Ortiz and not be criticized.

Bellator can have Ken Shamrock vs Royce Gracie fighting in their 50s and not be criticized.

But if 36 year old Diego Sanchez is fighting in the UFC, it means the UFC is an "evil and corrupt" organization.

How would you "stop" Melvin Guillard from fighting?

How would you "stop" anyone from fighting if they really wanted to fight?

[Demonata]

Im going to lose so much money on this card

[Sanity Check]

I'm trying to find ways to make money other than gambling.

Almonds are like $7/pound in stores.

Maybe I can grow 10,000 lbs of the stuff and walk away with $70k.

The tree and nuts basically grow themselves, am I right?

Big bad Woodley or The Killa Gorilla Darren Till? Who you got Hugo's?

Woodley

[Shagdogy]

Action fighter with big power. Slows down in the later rounds. FOTN in his first few UFC fights.

Camacho... I'll go against the group here and say I like Neal to win this fight quite a bit actually. I like Camacho as a fan, but putting that aside I think this one could be rough for him. Once again Camacho will really need to bring his chin. It's pretty legendary but he has been KO'd before. Neal has a solid shot at stopping him IMO.

[Thrilla]

I don't get the pickem odds in Woodley v Till?

If Till wins this then in the rematch pickem is justified. Now Woodley should be bigger favorite imo.

What's the thinking process here by the oddsmakers?

Background

The event will be headlined by a UFC Welterweight Championship bout between current champion Tyron Woodley and Darren Till. Due to a nasal issue that required surgery, the interim champion Colby Covington was not available for this event. He is also expected to be stripped of his title as soon as the Woodley/Till bout takes place. The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians welterweight winner Kamaru Usman is expected to submit medicals and weigh in as an official replacement for the bout.

A UFC Women's Flyweight Championship bout between the current champion Nicco Montaño and former UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship title challenger Valentina Shevchenko is expected to take place at the event, as the co-headliner.

A featherweight bout between The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America featherweight winner Yair Rodríguez and Zabit Magomedsharipov was scheduled for the event. However, Rodríguez pulled out of the fight on August 23 citing injury. He was replaced by Brandon Davis.
