- Two fights, Rick Story vs. Erick Silva and Marcos Rogerio de Lima vs. Nikita Krylov were originally expected to take place at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Romero. However, on June 19, it was announced that several bouts would be postponed and moved to other events as international fighters experienced travel restrictions due to technical issues within the Bureau of Consular Affairs division of the U.S. State Department, which produces travel visas. The two pairings were left intact and were rescheduled for this event. On August 11, an injury forced Story out of the bout and Neil Magny stepped in to take his place. Magny had previously fought only 22 days before the event, when he was defeated by Demian Maia at UFC 190.
- Chris Wade was expected to face Olivier Aubin-Mercier at the event. However, Wade pulled out of the bout in late July after sustaining an injury and was replaced by Tony Sims.
- Sean O'Connell was expected to face UFC newcomer Misha Cirkunov at the event. However, O'Connell pulled out of the bout on August 11 due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by another UFC newcomer in Daniel Jolly.

Huge on Holloway.
Chuck won't be able to fight his fight vs the guy with superior movement, output, cardio, striking, power, chin.
I'll be nervous if Chuck is getting easy body-lock takedowns and is able to play the submission game but I'm pretty sure Max will be well prepared and smart enough to stay well away from that shenanigans.
Oliveria's Jiu Jitsu is magical but anyone decent he has subbed has been a straight wrestler or grappler who engage with him for extended periods of time on the mat.

Dinis Paiva vs. Chino Duran
Patrick Walsh vs. Jesse McElligott
Dan Lauzon vs. Chip Moraza-Pollard

While I was very impressed by him in his recent outings, I feel like Holloway will have trouble staying away from the grappling of Oliveira. He is going to be in big disadvantage there.

So far I have
Magny $30 at +155
Burkman vs Cote $140 at -140 on it going to decision
$67,50 on Burkman winning the fight at -135
I would have loved Holloway at -185, but he's around -220 now so don't think I'll go for that. Obviously small bets so not really confident in them.

Magny vs Silva is a really weird fight.
Nothing would surprise me.
My heart is completely sure Silva is going to win, but my head tells me that's ridiculous and that Silva should be closer to a pickem vs all decent WW, especially those with gas tanks.
I'm staying away, I think it's a really nuanced fight that really depends on whether Magny will actually have a decent gameplan or not on short notice and I have no clue.

Silva is really exploitative, he looks best against bums, and just off the fact that Magny is no bum, I like him at these odds. Although I feel the same way heart/head.

I wouldn't call this a value betat all. It looks like a standard prop that is priced at over +2000 because it's very unlikely it will hit.
Betting split-decision props is kinda of a fish move, especially two separate bets on the same split-decision prop.
Good luck either way.

Most robberies are splits, I just looked up 2014 and 2015 biggest robberies and it was mostly splits (which makes sense considering it's a close fight where at least 1 judge sees it correctly many more times than all 3 seeing it wrong, that's just basic probability theory and if you don't understand that concept you are probably a losing gambler - although I also probably worded that very poorly).
The robbery rate on lighter-weight fights alone nearly touches 3-5 percent (more go to decision + more parody), so split that in two and that's already close to the bet itself.
I am getting the bet at 3.5 percent implied odds.
Then you take into account an arbitrary amount of times that this is a back and forth close fight that is also more than likely a split, again, basic probabilities with an odd number of judges. You think that number is less than a percent? I'd call you a fish if you thought that.
But if you want to actually explain with logic why the odds are poor, I'd be open-minded to re-evaluating my thought process, instead of just stating your opinion.
It might very well be a fish bet, but I'd like to be convinced.
especially two separate bets on the same split-decision prop.
PS Wtf does two separate bets matter, they were 1 minute apart and I realized I wanted to put a full unit on it instead of half - how can that possibly affect the bet itself when the odds are exactly the same, what a ridiculous statement.
think you are being too tough on soberstone there with your comments PR,
he put a small bet on an unlikely outcome yes....but with big payout, its not like he dropped huge money on it
If Oliviera does end up winning not by submission, I'd lean more towards split decision as opposed to unanimous

Oliveira wins by split/majority decision is now at +1685 so I guess it probably wasn't so awful at +2525.
Also, I'm a shitty speller and meant parity, not parody.

That's a huge swing looks like that +2525 bet was def +ev. I've been betting a lot of baseball lately and movement like that doesn't exist, finding that swing would be like finding the end of a rainbow. Nice1
