    I agree with the other 2 though. I'll definitely be on Reyes and Usman.

    Im no stylebender hater. I told a lot of people before he fought cartman that Israel was the way to go, i posted a 5 unit play, but in reality i had even more on him. But, when the fight panned out, i was largely unimpressed of what i saw. A lot of holes in the defence, chin in the air, gets tagged too much. And then the fight became 2-2 before the 5th round. You got 15 cm of reach advantage, and then its 2-2 going into round 5?

    I mean...Whittaker should in theory win easy imo, im not saying its going to happen, but based on what i can remember from israel last fight.

    Agree completely. Whittaker's wrestling is also underrated and I think he will that in along with that low knee kick he was doing to Romero. Izzy got hit with a headkick and rocked last fight as well, and Whittaker is much much better at mixing in the kicks.

    One would think that Gastelum almost was the easiest of all the possible matchups he could get of the top level fighters in the division and we saw how that went, that doesnt give me much confidence in him solving the best fighter in the division. Thats from a logical standpoint, fight may off course look completely different from what we envision it to be, but i have to trust logic. He shouldnt under any circumstances let of the hook against whittaker making those mistakes, if he doesnt clean up that shit before the fight. Its a pattern i have already seen israel make countless of times prior...

    He's the superior striker and Whittaker won't be able to take him down.

    How many takedowns has Whittaker landed in the UFC?

    Whittaker also coming off back to back wars and a bunch of injuries. Gets injured in every fight whether broken hand, messed up knee etc.

    styles make fights.
    i think Israel has a solid chance to win this fight ... he has all the momentum , longer reach, better variety of strikes and Whittaker is coming off a ton of injuries/ wars ... if he can keep the distance and keep his defense solid i think he wins this fight.. people really sleep on Gastelum thinking Israel is bad because he was in a war with Kelvin is weird to me... that dude has an iron chin with elite level boxing .... IMO Yoel Romero is the hardest style fight for Israel at 85

    also how is edson barboza only -160 over paul felder??? didnt he whoop him a while back

    i know barboza has lost 3 outta 4 but 2 of those were wrestlers... he destroyed dan hooker who is a solid fighter and got KOD by Gaethje who can knock out anybody... shouldnt this be another repeat of the last fight where Barboza picks him apart with leg kicks

    Felder is perhaps slightly better at this point, making the disparity between them less. Value at -120 no doubt... at -160 doubts creeps in how much value is left.

    It might still be.

    Yeah Adesanya has no offensive wrestling and a lot less one punch power. Big fan of Whittaker just don’t think this is a good fight for him. Most similar style matchup is the Stephen Thompson fight where he got finished in R1.

    I’m picking Barboza here too but think their first fight was closer than you’re remembering. Think Felder at least took a round on the scorecard of a judge or two and multiple rounds were pretty close.

    What the hell? Im taking a shot at Gastelum here. Terrible idea. "He wanted it, so we gave it to him"

    So fakking what? Its a terrible idea which side of the board the idea came from.

    There's every chance Gastelum KOs Till, to be fair.

    Till's hugely overrated based mainly on beating Cowboy. He's got some power but he's nowhere near as good as people make him out to be.

    Exactly. Lots of Southpaws beat Cowboy. Till should be coming off three straight losses (Thompson fight was a major robbery) and was never all that good imo.

    What do you guys think about Diaz +175?

    Huge fan of Masvidal but I really think this fight is a lot closer than the odds reflect.

    have to strike when the iron is hot---will have A LOT of $ on this card compared to last....
    Joker -really do respect JC...his dedication o the sport ect...I just think Joker brings it...overwhelms/takedowns, the whole 9 ....feel it ends round 3-4 by RNC-jokers hand raised...
    Gunni-even fight at +$ and burns on short notice....gunni I THINK is slightly quicker as well....AMAZING FIGHT-across the pond-tommy likey
    Rountree-will earn some respect this fight-if not he will be woken up with sniffing salts LOL...-I think his movement wins him this fight....heavy kicks as well..
    Olek-by tko
    Oliveira-love this spot for him-he will be the faster/quicker guy-coming off 2 losses-rights the ship here
    Muradov-Interested to see-more than bet
    Vanatta-Avoid takedowns and feel he has a solid shot

    I like Joker by sub, not real confident in much else ATM.

    Paper- Moneyline Sports Bar and Book at the MGM or The Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay...I think even Planet Hollywood was showing it at one of the bars inside the stadium because I remember they didn't know shit about O/U lines for a UFC fight.
