    Huge fan of Ciryl Gane. Think he will be UFC Heavyweight Champion one day.

    Hugo, how's his ground game & defense? I saw his fight with Tanner Boser and if I remember correctly it was all striking and Gane pretty much dominated. I don't like the juice for this fight for anything other than a sub win.

    His ground game is pretty underrated. I have a play on Gane Sub at (+550). He can win this fight anywhere. I don't typically play (-600) MLs so I'll need to get a bit creative about how I play this fight.

    I don't really factor layoffs into my capping. I'm assuming we are getting the same Ortega we've seen before until proven otherwise.

    Ortega said in interviews, he's tried to change everything. Fired all his old coaches except for Rener Gracie and tried to improve in all areas.


    The polar inverse opposite of Karolina who changed everything except her coaches.

    Think Rener won't be in his corner for this one. Out with COVID I heard.

    Appreciate the input . How do you always get the best lines? The best I ca find by sub is +450

    Really like Jonathan Martinez at + $, but have to wait for the weigh in, his last fight against Frankie Saenz he missed weight by 5#s

    BREAKING:

    Due to contract issues, Ante Delija has been removed from his fight against Ciryl Gane and the bout has been cancelled. Krause/Silva will not be moved up to the main card.

    It's been confirmed that Rener won't be in Ortega's corner to console him after The Korean Zombie rips him apart!!

    Since the Gane fight has been cancelled, long shot play:
    1 unit Mark Striegl by submission + 750

    Can't go against Zombie here. He's improved after military layoff, matured and making a title run. The Yair KO was a fluke imo... Initially thought of fading Ortega due to Sampson-esk haircut before weigh in. Although maybe he's going full savage mode mentally.

    Ortega only likely path to victory is by submission. I have underestimated his striking before but he's just not on the level of TKZ. I believe TKZ will finish him.

    Will probably play TKZ in 1 or 2 parlays, ITD and round betting in 2-3-4 . Possible small hedge w/ Ortega by submission.

    I think Ortega KO is a better value hedge than Ortega Submission. Ortega is an underrated puncher and I think this fight stays standing.

    Almeida vs. Martinez is apparently at 145 not 135. Worth noting.

    Classic combat blunders of history 101

    --Underestimating the russian winter

    --Invading iraq without an exit strategy

    --Invading and occupying afghanistan making identical mistakes to russia when they tried it

    ...

    Add to list:

    --Slapping Korean Zombie's homey, when KZ goes to the bathroom ????????

    Interesting Hugo. So you think TKZ can keep Tcity off his neck or his ground game will cancel out Tcity submission threat?

    Do you see chances this fight going the distance ?

    I think the fight stays standing and there is more value on Ortega KO/TKO (+950) than there is on Ortega Submission (+350) at current prices.

    These prices imply a 9.5% chance of Ortega KO/TKO and a 22.2% of Ortega Submission. I think the odds of Ortega KO happening should be around 15% and Ortega submission happening should be around 20% so I think there is value on the Ortega KO prop but no value on the Ortega Submission prop.

    I think the fight is unlikely to go the distance.
