    Dennis Bermudez -205 steal
    this will give back some money from 201, I think he absolutely destroys Jason...

    bermudez is a legitimate top 5-7 talent at 145 , great wrestling , super tough and huge power basically a slight lesser version of chad mendes imo, rony Jason is nothing special , any thoughts ??

    Also looking at the rest, I think Thales leites can have some value, got beat his last fight and really needs a win , his striking has vastly improved I think he's better then camozzi on the feet or ground

    Cub should win but kawajiri is a good wrestler in a 3 round fight he could get smothered for 2
    imo Bermudez the biggest lock here for the money , he'll completely rag doll Jason only way he loses by slick submission but I think he should cruise here Jason isn't at the level of competition Bermudez is at

    It's kind of a compliment to be on Fight Pass these days. The UFC is picking popular fighters to fight on Fight Oass hoping they will get more memberships at $10/month.

    Really like the U 2.5 in the Yair fight, I can see him putting Caceras away early.

    May just wait until josh knows tweets his losers, and fade. No way he's passing any fights after his performance last 3 cards. The hole is so deep you could fit a dozen juiced Brock Lesnars in it.

    I personally think Bruce Leroy has a decent chance. More of a chance than I thought Ellenberger did. +250? Prolly that and Cub my only plays that card.

    I have a few units on him for value. Don't think Yair is established enough to lay (-300) on and Caceres did look good in his last fight.

    So this event got next!!!! Alrighty then!!!

    Actually liking mostly all the favorites on this card while glancing it over.. Gonna be alot of prop and parlay play with this card as I can tell already..

    Kinda liking Chris Camozzi as a dog play at +170, maybe Dominique Steel as well???

    Camozzi has been working hard and improving fight to fight, has the granite chin, he's decent standing, ground is improving also, TD defense getting better.. He's quietly on a 3 fight win streak.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Chris-Camozzi-17224


    Thales on the flip side lost 2 in row now and is slipping a bit.. Getting beat up standing by guys like Bisping and Mousasi and fading late in those fights.

    Thales will have the speed advantage in this fight early on though against Canozzi...

    Imo leites won the bisping fight , and Gegard is a top 5 talent not comparable to camozzi . Camozzi is tough but would need to be +200 for me to take a stab at him, he's not to great at anything , don't really see where he can beat leites unless he grinds him out for 3 rounds on the cage and makes it ugly, since leites return to the UFC his stand up has looked vastly improved to he impressed me with his last few fights on the feet , even getting a split against bisping in a fight mainly contested on the feet for a ground fighter is super impressive tbh

    ^^ Maybe you are right Fire..

    Just thinking over these fights now and looking for potential dog plays..

    CANozzi is tough call but like I said he seems to be improving and getting better as a fighter....

    ya it's hard to gauge since he usually fights middling / average guys , the only top guy really has been jacare but jacare is just on a different level so losing to him doesn't make me think he sucks. Camozzi is a definetely a tough dude and can always be a live dog, just would need a bit more juice here to roll with him imo. I think the over prop could be solid though I see this going to a decision

    Camozzi has better striking IMO and TD defense good enough to squeak out a DEC. See Thales winging those shots???? Pretty wide opened and telegraphed. I like Cummings too as a dog also Caceras. The Mexican only has 5 fights. I can't bet that.

    I think leites has better striking mainly because of his kicks, comparing leites throwing a looping combo against bisping who's a top striker in the division over camozzi landing a combo on a washed up joe Riggs isn't really relevant to me , if leites fought any of the guys who camozzi beat he'd most likely mop the floor with them.. Leites has beat some tough competition and he does it regularly , camozzi has one quality opponent that he's beat his last fight .. He has better wrestling and
    toughness then leites slight edge standup and big advantage grappling imo, still leites doesn't always show up and camozzi is a dog so wouldn't go anything big on him maybe small play then put in a parlay that's about it

    Main event seems like a prop-or-pass type fight. It's not worth laying (-300) on Yair

    bruce leeroy is terrible lol, hes basically a poor mans yair if you think about it...
    -300 definitely a no play though, throw yair in some parlays or +400 sub , caceres has been subbed 5 times he could get rocked and subbed here , safest bet imo would be yair inside the distance -132 though ill be on that most likely, 5 rounds i dont see caceres lasting through yairs aggressiveness

    Are you asking because yair beat them both? They're all different styles, but I'd say fili is definitely better then caceres Imo, him and hooker would have a solid fight .. I just don't see yair losing this one -300 way to much though , -132 seems fair for a finish especially in a 5 rounder out of caceres 8 losses he's been finished in 6 of them and yair is a great finisher for the division

    MMA MANIA -

    UFC Fight Night 92 predictions: 'Rodriguez vs Caceres' Fight Pass 'Prelims' undercard preview, Pt. 1








    145 lbs.: Cub Swanson vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri

    Following one-sided stoppage losses to Frankie Edgar and Max Holloway, the year-long hiatus for Cub Swanson (22-7) ended as he stepped into the cage against durable Nova Uniao grinder Hacran Dias. The fight saw something of a return to form for the Jackson Wink MMA Academy-trained product, who dropped Dias twice on the way to a unanimous decision win.

    He has knocked out eight opponents and submitted another seven.
    Solid wins over Dennis Siver and Jason Knight set up a clash between Tatsuya Kawajiri (35-9-2) and fellow wrestling powerhouse Dennis Bermudez. Kawajri struggled to bring "The Menace" to the mat and ultimately lost a decision after being sprawled-and-brawled by his younger foe.


    "Crusher" has been competing in mixed martial arts (MMA) for more than 16 years.
    Five years ago, when Kawajiri was first dropping to Featherweight and still had some confidence in his punching, I’d have picked him in a heartbeat. Swanson has historically struggled with powerful top games and his off-the-wall striking attack has a bad habit of leaving him open for takedowns.
    Right now, though? Swanson’s got this.
    Kawajiri’s biggest issue is that -- while he’s absurdly strong and has good takedown technique -- he doesn’t set up his shots well. Whether this is a product of his time fighting in a ring or simply wear-and-tear, he has issues getting in on people’s hips without a monumental struggle. Swanson’s powerful uppercuts and ability to deal damage in transition ought to be too much for the current iteration of Kawajiri. I’m rooting for "Crusher," but I think he succumbs to his foe’s power punching.
    Prediction: Swanson by first-round technical knockout


    265 lbs.: Justin Ledet vs. Chase Sherman



    Following five stoppage wins in his first five fights, Justin Ledet (6-0) made the move to boxing, ultimately amassing a perfect (5-0) record with two knockouts. More than 3.5 years later, he returned to the cage with a first-round submission and was last seen accidentally poking Brice Ritani-Coe in the eye under the Legacy Fighting Championship banner.

    He has submitted four opponents and knocked out another two.
    Chase Sherman (9-1) -- a protege of Octagon veteran Alan Belcher -- took out his first five opponents before suffering a stoppage loss to current Light Heavyweight Alex Nicholson. He’s since won four straight, each of them via knockout and each in less than two minutes.
    All of his wins have come by first-round knockout.
    There’s no recent footage of Ledet and I wasn’t super impressed with what I saw of Sherman, leaving me in something of a pickle. Worse, both of their most recent fights ended with an early accident, Ledet’s with the aforementioned eye poke and Sherman’s with a freak leg injury to his opponent.
    What little I saw of Ledet’s striking looked better than Sherman’s, as I’m not convinced the latter knows what a hook is, and the fact that Sherman’s never gone past the first round is as much a red flag as it is an accomplishment. I say Ledet handles himself on the feet before eventually submitting a fading Sherman late in the second.
    Prediction: Ledet via second-round submission
