    struve always hit or miss.
    +200 solid odds though for a HW bout that looks 50/50

    I initially thought Tybura should have been closer to -185, on most nights I think Tybura can control him with TDs and make it ugly like he did against Lewis until he got caught with a bomb. You're right though, which Struve are we going to get?

    Went ahead and jumped on Anderson, think that line might move as we get closer.

    Has Tex ever been out-grappled? I can’t recall a time where he was offhand.

    Yeah I saw that when I got him. Still that's once in 14 UFC fights. Pat Cummins and Jon Jones got some TDs on him as well. That's not too bad for the level of competition that Tex has faced throughout his UFC tenure.

    I'm not so sure about that. Sure Smith is a Knockout Threat with solid Muay Thai but I think this fight should be closer to a Pick 'Em rather then Smith as a moderate favorite.

    I don't know how Anderson beats Texeria. He has literally lost to every big puncher he has faced. That being said, if the Anderson line is 160 or less I might jump on it because in my eyes it should be +200 and im missing something.

    Background

    The event will be the second that the promotion has contested in Hamburg, following UFC Fight Night 93 in September of 2016.

    A light heavyweight bout between former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Maurício Rua was expected to headline the event. The pairing was previously scheduled in the co-headliner slot at UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. Usman, but was delayed after Oezdemir was pulled from that event due to alleged vîsa issues stemming from a previous legal transgression, restricting his travel to Chile. The bout was again cancelled when Oezdemir was removed in favor of a bout against fellow former title challenger Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 227. He was replaced by Anthony Smith.

    A bantamweight bout between Davey Grant and Manny Bermudez, was previously scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Till. However, Grant pulled out of the fight after being diagnosed with a staph infection, and the bout was scrapped. The pairing was left intact and rescheduled for this event.

    Ilir Latifi was scheduled to face former light heavyweight title challenger Glover Teixeira at the event. However on July 5, it was announced that Latifi suffered an injury and was pulled from the fight. He was replaced by The Ultimate Fighter: Team Edgar vs. Team Penn light heavyweight winner Corey Anderson.

    Alan Jouban was expected to face Danny Roberts at the event, but pulled out on July 12 due to a neck injury. He was replaced by promotional newcomer David Zawada.

    Moving in the opposite direction if you are liking Corey. If you like Tex, not sure you jump on it now though. I had a feeling this would get closer to pick em, especially on weigh in day barring a catastrophe.

    I swore that Struve just had an impressive win recently...?! WTH, not sure why...

    Maybe it's a message to take him here...I like that point in post #3.
    I am theorizing that Tybura has peaked and am considering that +200

    Both fighters at 2 losses in a row but Struve can't afford to lose this one...hmmm

    Why can Tybura “afford to lose this one” if Struve can’t?

    Yea pretty interesting....how would you say Corey wins? I know Glover is a little slower than he used to be and prob cant take the same punch....I guess thats what the betters think

    Hey all - been busy with life and absent from here for a bit. Here’s my observations so far. Lemme know your thoughts...

    1. There is a day fast approaching where Corey Anderson would demolish Glover Teixeira. Glover’s getting old and Corey does seem to be improving. Is this that day? I don’t know but I think it’s possible.

    2. Both Manny Bermudez and Abu Azaitar are definite future fade material but I’m not sure this is the time for it. Davey Grant could absolutely beat Bermudez, but his ability to follow a game plan is nada and he’s almost definitely gonna roll around on the mat with him needlessly at some point. And Miranda of 3 years ago would be a solid bet over Azaitar but now at 40 with a 2mo old kid at home it’s likely he’s just fighting for a check.

    3. Justin Ledet has some of the fastest hands at HW and a more well rounded game than he gets credit for. His cardio and durability are also quite solid. Now even though he’s undefeated he will be moving down a weight class. I’m not convinced that’s the right move for him, but he’s getting another big guy in Rakic who I don’t think will have speed that Ledet isn’t used to. Still think Ledet can win this fight but may regret the move to 205 in the long run.

    4. Nasrat Haqparast vs Diakiese is a solid fight that I’m looking forward to. Tough to pick a winner but my gut goes towards Haqparast. He’s another guy with high pace and good durability, and when you combine those traits you can beat a lot of guys. Will be a fun fight. Plus money on FGTD seems okay to me.

    Jesus man. You probably don't have a life and be watching MMA videos on the internet non-stop.

    Nah just kidding

    That's where I got it from. Embedded 202.

    How embarrassing for me. You gave the correct answer like straight away.

    Sorry Hugo. See if I can comeup with a tougher one in the future.
