Why?

[jacharron17]

Liking Ilir Latifi and Anthony Smith.

[Demonata]

amirkhani and litifi looks good so far. I feel like litifi fight should be around 50-50. Lififi is super touch and might get some takedowns as well. He's not a bad underdog to bet on and has won before as that.

[Thrilla]

[bjpenn85]

Why?

I see latifi as an action fighter who can finish people in round 1, but what happens after that 1.round? He gasses.

I think Volkan takes this, but, Latifi may knock his ass out of the octagon and back to Switzerland. Maybe a round 1 hedge is warranted here.

Gus looks very solid. Anthony Smith is still a mid level talent even at LHW IMO. Finishing a gassed Volkan and Andrew Sanchez and beating up old guys like Rashad and Shogun don't sway me any. Maybe the most overhyped guy in the UFC right now. I worry about Gus's health but if he's decently healthy he'll maul this guy easily. I made it Gus -450 as you saw what the prices were on these two against Jon Jones

Gus , Rakic, Stosic..

[HurlSweatPants]

Gus , Rakic, Stosic..

I'm actually really excited to see Hadzovic again, dude has a chin and likes to bang.

[Teem]

Most likely taking Gus, Hadzovic, and Fabinski.

But I like Hein and maybe Stosic as well.

[Demonata]

Great analysis...

You talking about a gun fight on sbr and saying I'm dumb? I'm not going to kill someone over disagreements on a forum. I prefer to go to heaven. Hillary barking, look it up on youtube. She barks like a dog. Trump won, get over it already 😆

[bjpenn85]

Im out of that bet i tell ya.Took Rakic at -200, Took Damir at -130, and Gustaffson straight at -270.

[Demonata]

Every time I think of betting on lion cub(previously knows as lion heart until I saw him fight jon jones) it makes me feel sick. I just do not see gustafsson losing in any way.

I earn serious money now, and my life changed. You need help. If you make a compelling case, i might donate.

How much do you need? I dont need more proof than this. You made your case.

[firekillex]

JJ makes everyone look second rate though? Thought he did show a bunch of heart in that fight to be fair (completely outmatched though!).

But surely Gustafssons fight to lose (JJ made him look second rate too the second time around!).

Check the time stamp of edit. lol I had to add one of those typical firekillex comments at the end.

You are like an open book mate.

BUT BUT BUT...Gustaffson sprained his adductor muscle in round 1. From there on and out fight is over, you cant fight a GOAT with a sprained muscle. You also saw how surprisingly easy JJ just passed his guard, everyone was like...hmm....that looked very easy.

And no surprise in an interview he said well i couldnt move after round 1, i knew by then the fight was over.

“I just didn’t perform like I used to,” Gustafsson said. “I didn’t have the footwork going. And I have no excuses, it’s not that. It’s just like, after when he got me with that knee, I couldn’t really find the rhythm again. I just, I couldn’t move like I did before. I just had a lot of pain after that, and I’ve never had that type of pain in my career before in a fight. Of course, you have pain, you get shots from everywhere and you get back, you just keep pushing. But he just stopped me right there, and I tried to move, work it with my footwork, try to kick him or attack, be explosive. But none of that worked. I just couldn’t with my groin.

“So that’s basically it, and he took me down. Nobody can hold me down. Nobody can hold me down. Not DC, not Jon. Nobody. When he took me down there and when he finished me, I couldn’t move because of my groin. He just passed, he just went to half guard and just went up and did the crucifix stuff on me — and nobody does that to me. I wasn’t 100 percent. I just felt that I had so much pain in my groin that I couldn’t really get back into my rhythm again. And with that said, I don’t use this as an excuse or anything like that. He did what he had to do to beat me, and Jon is the best guy out there, so I don’t feel like I’m thinking about that loss nowadays. It is what it is and I just move forward now.”
