    Would only be interested in betting Woodley as a significant dog, and, while he is one here, Luque's chin should hold up. Don't really have interest in betting Luque either though, he doesn't have the grappling that Usman/Colby/Burns have. Might just play props or pass.

    I very much think Luque will win, but too much of a favorite for me to want to bet it.

    I'm 0-2 in my brief betting career, betting against Miocic. Will I be 0-3? I can't bet against Ngannou. But if he doesn't end it early and hasn't improved takedown defense, it's going to be a long 25+ minutes of waiting out that loss.

    How do you think Luque will win? Decision? I'm just curious to get your thoughts. Thanks!

    I'm with WTD here. Rooting for Luque to KO Woodley unconscious and end his fighting career.

    I might be totally off but I see some value on Ngannou by TKO\KO in rounds 2(+550) and 3(+1100). Francis will be more composed with better cardio than last time.

    It sounds like Usman has been training with Ngannou to help with his wrestling and will be in his corner for the fight. If Ngannou wins it will be 3 current African champions, 1 Brazilian, 1 Australian, 1 Polish, and 1 American- kind of(Sterling). Interesting mix

    Although co-main event and main event dogs have cashed A LOT lately, I don't know how anyone could take Woodley at only +200 or whatever he is. He hasn't won a single round in what? 3 fights? Maybe live bet Woodley if he's +1000 and they rob Luque on the cards haha.

    Woodley was almost KO'd very early against Burns, and Covington dominated him. He could certainly be KO'd, Luque can hit. But I have a feeling it'll go to a decision.

    Sean O to me is overrated an as fragile as a china doll. Not sure how anyone could bet him at those high odds against a guy who is a pretty decent fighter

    Volk destroyed a very good card. He can say all he wants how careful he was but I don't buy it.

    Might be some value in Almeida at the price, he's got to be fighting for his job and not sure if O'Malley's feet aren't screwed up permanently.

    This is never a good reason to bet someone imo. What about the style matchup intrigues you in Almeida's favor?

    ML's a tad wide for my liking but I'm fine taking a small play on O'Malley KO (or his points prop when that comes out). Almeida hasn't beaten a UFC caliber opponent in over 5 years.

    Almeida does attack the legs and has fought much better competition. I rewatched his fight with Jimmie Rivera and he did have some good moments where he tagged Rivera pretty good, not sure if O'Malley can take a shot like that.

    Has Almeida beaten better competition though? Who is his best win? I'd say a washed up Brad Pickett who still dropped him.

    I'd take O'Malley's UFC wins over Almeida's any day.

    Styles make fights but agreed. Almeida may win a decision though.

    I do agree that Almeida is offensively potent and he showcased nice leg kicks against Martinez. I just think his striking defense is terrible. He gets hit cleanly a ton and he doesn't have the chin to deal with that.

    Almeida has been dropped 6 times in the UFC, including twice by the light punching Jimmie Rivera. Rivera has 3 total knockdowns in his UFC career, those 2 against Almeida, and 1 against Marcus "Punching Bag to the Stars" Brimage.
    Is Almeida going to ruin O'Malley with leg kicks? Maybe, but if he doesn't how does he win? Almeida has 0 successful takedowns in the UFC and now he's facing O'Malley who lands more than him (6.35 SS/min vs. 5.39 SS/min), gets hit less than him (3.76 SS/min vs. 4.69 SS/min), is more dangerous with single strike power, and is significantly more durable.

    Nah i won’t bet fight. Sean does comeback from injuries a lot quicker than Jibby tho. I think Sean has comeback from three terrible injuries an Jibby’s toe is still in a splint.

    I like Stipe tho. Who has Francis fought that can box? Lewis? You seen what happen to Lewis when a good boxer like Hunt fought him I would take a younger Mark Hunt over Francis too. Francis is very wild. Stipe just needs to be tight with the punches. He gets out of round one i think Stipe is gonna try and knock him out this time. You got to think Stipe has a huge chip on his shoulder because you know the UFC wants Francis to win and you can’t blame them.

    Quick note that Almeida is dropping back to 135 pounds after his 145 pound fight with Martinez. You'd have to think that cutting that additional weight would be damaging for his durability.

    No doubt Ngannou hits hard AF. He's arguably the hardest puncher in UFC history. I'm just not convinced he wins a fight that goes 10 minutes or more.

    Kind of surprised you’re so high on O’Malley. All I see is hype &!he claims he trains at MMM Lab but all I see is that his personal coach is nothing but a “Yes Man”. He does have good enough physical tools but his head seems fu$ked up with his hype and his social media bs. Plus are you sure he won’t roll an ankle again?
