Like Cowboy Oliveira a lot even at -230. Yancy seems to get lost when he doesn't have a physical advantage over his opponent and he definitely won't here
Like other Oliveira as well for a slight upset and Gaethje as well though obviously playing with fire if you bet on any Gaethje fight. It's just that I think Eddie Alvarez isn't very good and has run really well
Holloway/Aldo probably going to end up the same way but also don't feel like putting out 3:1 just out of respect for Aldo possibly coming out on fire. Max has a great chin and great cardio though so Aldo will have to basically pitch a perfect fight. Wouldn't be surprised if he announced a retirement (even if it's not permanent) if he gets rolled as he probably will. He's only in his early 30's but probably closer to 40 in fight years, has had some pretty rough weight cuts, and won't see a path back to the title for a long time if he's 0-2 against Max who's just now hitting his prime
Looking forward to seeing if Reyes is a real prospect. And hopefully scum Magana loses and rightfully gets cut. Not sure many people know of her besides the fact that she's a raging bitch who will be 0-5 if she loses on Saturday. Can't think of a possible reason she'd still be on the roster with a loss
All of the lines are worse now so can't say I'm unhappy with the bets. That said though I'm not sure if I know what I'm doing nowadays!

Sup fellas. Back from the dead. Been lurking for a minute. Might start placing bets again. UFC def sold at the right time, I can feel my level of enthusiasm in correspondence with that of the general public.

Ngannou seems bigger next to Overeem than I even thought and it's not like I haven't seen him fight before. Holloway with the ugliest jacket of all time. Anyone like Waterson at all at +197?

This is a great card. I like both main and co-main.
being -235 against Overeem is special.
I wonder if Nganou wins dominantly, what the odds will be against Stipe. I can easily see Nganou being favorite.

Sick performance from Dominick Reyes.
I've never seen someone throw and land that many elbows while having a body lock on someone. It must be his 6'4 length that allowed him to get that angle on the ground.
what a beautiful punch, Ngannu looked loose and precise, also he overpowered Overeem easily in the clinch... impressive.

R1: Aldo (close round. Aldo landed the only hard shot)
R2: Aldo (Max didn't do anything during the first 2.5 minutes, then got aggressive but kept trading with Aldo and both landed around the same amount. Max is possibly waiting for Aldo to gas, but Aldo is using limited energy this time)
Yep.
Max waited for Aldo to slow down again, then turned up the heat. Same strategy as last time, but he was more aggressive in R1 this time.
basically a repeat of the 1st fight imo. by the end of the 2nd round I thought aldo would likely get koed in the 3rd again :/ holloway very accurately tags him way too often and he gases too quick imo
Aldo throwed more kicks but still fought retarded, throw 4x that amount of kicks and foce him to adapt, catch them or whatever and for the love of god dont get into extended exchanges
aldo's getting old. he is not the same guy he was 10 years ago. it's not even about his technique anymore. he's just not on the same level with the champ.
I train muay thai and I know that throwing kicks make you very tired and Aldo has problems gassing
this is probably the reason why he doesnt throw kicks anymore, he was probably juicing and was younger during WEC days he could throw as many kicks he wanted to and not gas

I would get if he was trying to be super efficient in the 1st fight, but on this one it was 100% clear that he was not going to win a long fight.
Also considering the weight class Aldo has probably one of the worst cardios in all of the UFC.
