Yep... Kinda funny, imo. Just took Jessica at +340 for 1u.

I don't have any problem with people betting on either woman, but it's a clear sign of disrespect (and a sign of being uneducated about both fighters) from the bookies and bettors to have Claudia as such a large favorite. I assume a lot of people have her in parlays.

Win or lose, people will see that Claudia shouldn't be a 5-1 favorite over a woman whom many still see as the #1 or #2 strawweight female fighter.

On a side note, DraftKings has their largest ever event going on right now for UFC 190. You pay $3 to enter in the $100k prize pool event, with a $10k 1st place prize. I believe the $70k event had a $21k first place price, but that meant there was a lot less people getting in the money. In the $100k event, the top 7850 people get paid.

Damn, Bethe is one ugly ass bitch.

Just added a bet for Ronda in Round 1 at -230. I can't believe this odds, this is the biggest mismatch title fight in the history of this sport. Correia is drawing dead even if they allow her to fight with a bat.

that's how they often build a legacy and a fan base of casuals

I just watch some fights of Jessica Aguilar and I think the odds are a little exagerated but I am not touching that bet. I am only going to bet Ronda by submission and Bigfoot for that odds.

Is that really because Ronda is claiming she wants to drag it out?

Ronda said she wants to punish her for talking shit about her dead father, whether it was unintentional or not.

You don't insta-arm bar your opponent to punish them in their own country, you beat the shit out of their face with your superior speed, power, and boxing. Correia has a face like JDS that will look deformed really quick after taking several clean punches.

If done correctly, this can be Ronda's highlight fight of her career that makes her look like a bigger beast in the octagon than she already is.

She might hurt her too much too fast :D
Plus why give her the privilege of longer fight, it would mean she was her best opponent

Be carefull calling someone "done" too soon.
I thought Henderson was done, yet he crushed Boetch.

That being said, his opponement is an huge heavyweight who had a big win streak, who knows what will happen. I will study his opponement better before deciding, but im leaning Bigfoot at those odds.

Well Henderson is done, a win over Boetsch means nothing. Boetsch managed to do the only thing he had to avoid and walked straight in to the Hbomb.

And bigfoot is also done without a doubt, while on TRT he stood 5 rounds with Hunt who is probably the hardest hitter in HW but has since been KOed twice by shots that were far less powerful. Mir barely touched him and he went out

I don't put too much stock in this claim. I think it is just a way to hype a fight, that no one is caring about. Even if this is the case and she drags it out (unlikely imo), Bethe is so bad I just can't see her lasting more than 5 minutes with her.

As for Bigfoot discussion. He might be done fighting at the top level, but Soa Palelei has never been at that level. If you look Bigfoot last 10 fights, He has faced all the top heavyweights in the game and has victories over some of them, while Palelei has always been terrible and on top of that is older than him. Clear dog or pass for me.

"UFC sends document to fighters warning about crime and 'areas to avoid' in Rio."

Bigfoots pre-existing health conditions, paired with getting off steroids, paired with the war with Mark Hunt and beatings from Valasquez and nothing exceptional to fall back on as a likely path to victory (unlike Henderson's h-bomb) make him a lot more done in my mind than I ever felt about Henderson (I bet him fairly big vs Boetsch).

I know older heavyweights have been on a run lately and odds should remain fairly close on all non-top 5 guy fights due to the random factor, but I really think both Big Nog and Big Foot are exceptionally done.

I could certainly be wrong and he could have a mini-resurgence and look a lot better, but I don't find it likely.

All that said, I'm still hesitate to do anywith Palelei or Struve besides put them in low risk high reward parlays and maybe a rd 1 ko prop for Palelei because the odds feel about right, if not slightly too close.

Thats a little extreme isnt it ?

They aren't demands, they are suggestions. I see no problem. Sounds like Brazil can be a dangerous place for a non-worldy person in certain poverty-stricken areas and they are just trying to help fighters (and ofcourse themselves by proxy), who are notoriously dumb at times.

Nothing wrong with smart business as long as it is mutually beneficial to the fighters.
