    Diaz v. McGregor 2 - What will be the Closing Line?

    In McGregor/Aldo, a ton of money started pouring in on Aldo about two weeks out and moved the line from McGregor -166 to McGregor +100 and better. That has not happened yet.

    In McGregor/Diaz 1, the Diaz money didn't arrive until the day of the fight and barely moved the line.

    (https://www.bestfightodds.com/fighte...-McGregor-3147)

    I would have expected an Aldo-like wave of money on Diaz by now, but it's not showing up (if it's shown up already, it only moved the line 10 cents or so in Diaz's favor).

    Looks like the line will close about where it is now, but I would not be surprised to see an avalanche of Diaz money push Conor into plus-money territory.

    The chances of Conor becoming an even bigger favorite are very small; that much seems clear.

    Thoughts?

    Update from Vegas: https://twitter.com/MatthewHoltVP/st...74993959305216

    CG Tech says "Diaz money keeps coming in and ticket count now stands at 95-46 in favor of Diaz which is why fight vs McGregor is back to a pickem"

    Diaz will be favoured come fight time.

    All the Connor lovers jump on the betting early, but all the smart money waits until fight time.

    Diaz will be the ending favorite and I guess he hits -150. He started @+115 now -105

    I'm predicting McGregor does pushes it back to -130 and Diaz barely gets plus +105 range.

    Diaz back to +100. I'm waiting all week to watch this line and get Diaz when he's worth more.

    I'd hit it now for 50-75% of what you plan to stake and watch the line to do the rest later

    Lasted a while. Now back down to +115. (Does 5Dimes auto-move 5 cents for every max bet? In my experience, almost always, yes.)

    In the meantime, Pinnacle creeped from +115 to +116.

    I'm still surprised, given the "sharp" consensus on Diaz, that we haven't seen major movement his way--as we did on Aldo in the weeks and days before UFC 194.

    Seeing huge Nate next to small Conor at the weigh-ins could drive some Diaz money.
