I like a lot of chalk this card, so it would have to be a prop.

Whitaker by decision +175 looks good.

I just saw someone else mention a wager worth consideration: Taira significant strikes under 34.5 (-125) [Bet Online]

Is Bo Nickal khabib with izzy's striking those odds just silly -5000 on one book, he's most certainly going to win but mma is wild sport injuries happen all the time DQ, he might gas like that fraud last week.

I was expecting better price on Volk Yair is dynamic heavy hitter decent gas tank at least in last fight, solid chin and he's probably willing to go for broke. Max dropped Volk with kick in 2nd fight, habits die hard even for smart fight fighters like Alex he's blocking kicks with one hand sometimes. He needs to wrestle Rodriguez received right away.

I feel like the only way Volk can lose is if he gets knocked out by something coming out of nowhere from the dynamic and very unorthodox Rodriguez.

Can Yair win a decision? Doubtful...so a hail mary KO is his only shot

Good card!!! What happened to jibby?

**JC2008** · 07-08-23, 04:34 PM

I wonder if he's utilizing the underdog ITD angle tonight?

**GunShard** · 07-08-23, 05:00 PM

Looks like mostly favorites winning. Though Pantoja is a live dog.

**Headsterx** · 07-08-23, 05:13 PM

**Headsterx** · 07-08-23, 05:35 PM

No one willing to take Woodburn +900?

**stevex** · 07-08-23, 06:59 PM

Taking a shot on Gomes at +300.

**Thor4140** · 07-08-23, 09:19 PM

lmao. This clown has beatin the cans of the cans and these assholes are hyping him like he has some kind of chance.

**Thor4140** · 07-08-23, 09:24 PM

Joke. guy had absolutely no chance but guys threw their money on it when they have a better shot at the powerball tonight

**Thor4140** · 07-08-23, 09:27 PM

Whitaker could mop this clown up but i can't get that Whitaker/Till fight out of my mine where it was so close Till could have won.

**povis** · 07-08-23, 10:36 PM

I don't no sh#t about mma I thought Whitaker would run through him.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 07-08-23, 10:37 PM

Did not see that coming..props to Du Plessis

Called it. That 5th round to jump on the back of your opponent then start punching for points is a smart move for a close coin flip fight.

**JIBBBY** · 07-09-23, 12:57 PM

Favorites were hitting all night long. I bet the dogs ITD and got burnt with this event. Back to the drawing board. : (

Yair got exposed on the ground. He got dominated and put on his back the entire fight. Struggled mightily to get back up which shouldn't happen in that weight class and at the championship level.
