First of all, just for transparency, I am probably going to be on Cummings, Lauzon, and most likely Barboza. With that being said, I dont like the idea of throwing fighters in multiple parlays like that. I actually don't like parlays other than to give value to an otherwise highly juiced fighter. For instance, you have great odds on Barboza as it is, instead of being somewhat greedy and throwing him in a parlay, I'd keep Cummings and Lauzon in a parlay and make a straight bet on Barboza separately. As a rule of thumb, I don't think i'd throw anyone with odds of -200 or below in a parlay instead of making a straight bet on them.

I'll be posting my plays after weigh ins on Friday. Hope that helps, good luck this weekend
