I find Nunes obnoxious, that bullshit she pulled in the weight ins with Holly, which is just a sweetheart, was pathetic. Valentina has so much potential marketing wise, I hope she wins.
post-USADA Reem isnt the monster who walked down everyone anymore, and Werdum improved his striking a shit ton and is quite reckless now, I think this is going to be an entertaining fight with a KO finish

It was against Valentina, she pushed her with his fist on her face.

Oh that is it... well even worse, Valentina is probably the only girl nicer than Holly, pathetic move and I'll root against her for a long time

- Overeem (I think Overeems chin is not going to be a problem here, since werdum has no kO power. Maybe a flying knee or a front kick but I think it is going to be like their second fight with Werdum trying to take the fight to the ground and Overeem dominating in the stand up even with the improved Werdum)
- Yoel Romero (+110, Whittaker has been pretty impresive but Yoel is a complete monster, I am pretty sure he is going to be the champion and maybe a dominant one)
- Andrade (he is +250 wich is crazy imo, I thought Font would be the underdog here)

Romero vs. Whittaker = 5 round fight
Romero is a low volume striker, and if he wins, it will be by KO/TKO.
lots of value on Overeem I dont get why ppl think this is an even fight... Its a nightmare matchup for Werdum simply because Overeem has the strongest clinch game in the division and Werdum new aggro sloppy stand up relies heavily in brief moments of clinches, holding head with 1 hand etc and he is not going to outstrike overeem from the outside either.
Agree that Reem should be bigger favorite over Werdum. Sure you never know with him as he is always prone to e fluke defeat, but I think he is going to dominate Werdum here.
Also Sheva probably wil take over the fight vs Nunes in the later rounds, but that is if she survives the early onslaught. Probably will be having some juicy lines for live betting, as I think Nunes is going to melt her early on.
Romero is underdog again and there is a great bet, imo as well . He should be able to put Whittaker on his back and hurt him bad there. Really great fight.

For sure, I cant think of a fighter who has lost more fights he was supposed to win
