    Good luck...I'm not convinced that Khamzat is going to run through Usman like many seem to think. That said, I do want him to win.

    I agree. Although nobody really knows if Usman hurt his knee or not at open workouts. Either way, this fight is at 185 not 170. Chimaev may fight with a dumb fight IQ in front of his people. We'll see how it goes. Chimaev losing would murder a lot of global parlays. That much I do know.

    If Usman's knee was seriously injured, I think he would have pulled out.

    I'm thinking this fight will go to a decision and it will be a battle of control(Usman) vs chaos(Chimaev).

    I would not be surprised to see Usman take a decision.

    Also, Usman has fought a WAY tougher strength of competition. The one thing that is giving me pause is whether Usman's skill set is declining or if Edwards was just a bad matchup for him?

    The one similar opponent for these guys was Gilbert Burns and Usman beat him much more convincingly(vicious KO vs close decision).

    Long story short, no way i would bet Chimaev ML at that price, I'd probably take him by decision if I want to bet him.

    I also noticed that usually, at least one fighter in Betway's odds boosts lose. Of course they sometimes hit too; but very rarely. . .

    They have Ankalaev, Chimaev, Makhachev +275

    I can see Usman winning a decision or even a stoppage in r3 from g'n'p.

    I ended up taking a stab on Usman by decision at +720...could not resist

    Fading Usman probably. I think he's on the decline in the sport. Complains about his knees.

    Volk is the play, but unfortunately my book's got both by decision and by KO as +480. Shitty odds forcing me to take the ML +200 on him instead. Pretty surprising to see Makchev dismissing him in interviews when he was clearly stunned by on some straights in the first fight. Hoping he gets overconfident infront of his crowd and fights less cautious than the first time.
    Still, gonna be tough for anybody without a V in the last letter of their name to come out winner on the main card.

    MGM has Usman by Dec at +500. Time to go shopping for other books.

    Was looking at Volk via Ko as well...local has it at +560, seems his prop lines are significantly higher than market price.

    Yup. Looks like if looking for ITD finish you probably better off going the sucker route and trying to guess the round. Might even be better value to spread it on the 4th and 5th in a fight like that. Makchev did open up more in the later rounds of 1st fight, obviously trying to finish him. Can't believe they've got Decision and KO finishes for Volk priced equally stingy.

    Maybe in the heat of a moment Walker confused UAE with Saudi or Qatar.

    I was on Khamzat as well but "easy"? He gassed after the 1st round. If the TD in the 3rd doesn't happen Usman wins. Make it a 5 rounder and Usman wins on 10 days notice.

    Nothing was easy about this win. If Khamzat can't finish Strickland in the 1st round, Strickland jabs him unconscious over 5 rounds.

    Walker was a bit weird. I kinda think he tried to pull off a Aljamain acting performance in hopes he gets the win by DQ.

    Walker got kneed in the neck. He was rambling English and confused the Doctor. Lol.

    That stoppage was weak and a joke! Walker I think wanted out of that fight and then made a display after the doctor stopped after the fight to save face. Walker is a tard...

    I saw it as the judges saw it. Usman never had a chance as he was put on his back in 2 rounds and could never get up. Usman going up in weight will not do him justice either in the future.
