    SBR Videos UFC 163 Preview with Nick Kalikas

    Nick Kalikas from MMAOddsBreaker.com, professional MMA oddsmaker and MMA betting consultant for multiple sportsbooks, joined SBR's Peter Loshak to preview the Main Card from UFC 163.



    Chan Sung Jung vs Jose Aldo
    Aldo a huge fave over scrappy but probably overmatched Jung


    Phil Davis vs Lyoto Machida
    Both fighters patient, disciplined but Machida given the big edge


    Cezar Ferreira vs Thiago Santos
    Santos a big underdog to talented but flawed Ferreira



    Thales Leites vs Tom Watson
    Leites returns to UFC after 4 years to test Watson


    John Lineker vs Jose Tome
    Tome taking a big step up, big underdog despite long winning streak

    Hey Nick do you think it's a faggo-t move to sell picks while also working for the books?

    This would actually be really nice if they could think of a realistic, reliable way to implement it.

    Getting the media members hired to be the official cageside judges would be best. Unfortunately, the commissions put up just about every road block they can to prevent the hire of people who meet the requirements and who actually know about the sport. Instead, it's just a corrupt buddy-buddy system of inept employees.

    I can't see any problem with it, other than possible allegations of corruption (ie media scoring it so the books get the side they need).

    Perhaps a rotating randomly-assigned 3-member panel, preferably decided day of fight by dice roll on livestream to ensure fairness, from the pool of media members who already score the fights. Too much work for the books? Go on stream, roll dice to determine who's scores they're using. Too unofficial?

    And yeah, I know commissions suck.
