    I LOVE the value here.

    I capped Oli at -125 to -175.

    Yes -- it's a battle of the weaker heavyweights.

    However, I think he's better than De Fries on: wrestling and striking.

    De Fries probably has an edge with submissions. However, Oil's strength and wrestling will nullify it. Not to mention Oli has won many fights via submission.

    yep, I'm with you here- de fries is a legit purple belt but Oli is going to power out of just about everything he can throw at him. If De Fries loses positions to Stav Economou he'll likely lose them vs Oli. Playing it moderate.

      Yeah I've been thinking about it. Was hoping Thompson would reach +200 but doesnt look like it will

        agree

        Oli and Moraga are my two largest dog plays, hoping for at least a split.

            You bet Oli over Shawn Jordan but don't like him here against a slag like Fries?

            I priced Oli around +140 before the line was released so I had to play him. I won't be surprised either way.

              Initially, I liked Oli over De Fries, but ended up changing my mind. How poorly Jordan looked against Kongo had something to do with that. I doubt Oli has improved since his last fight. I think De Fries has. We will see. He's a smart dude, I think he will see Oli's punches coming and avoid them, for the most part. After Oli tires himself out after a round or two, I don't think De Fries will have trouble clinching him against the cage, scoring a takedown, and locking a choke in.

                Would love to have seen the Broughton/Thompson fight for comparison.

                Weird that it was some sort of tournament format and Thompson lost twice on the same night.
