Tbh i think cyborg had been a pretty girl if she didnt take tons of steroids in the past.
You can allready see in some videos that she is a lot smaller than in the past and returned back to some kinda more femalish looks.
I d say she has good genetics but ruined it with tons of male steroids
U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)
Alright added a tiny bet on Diakiese and that's it. Enjoy the fights gentlemen.
You almost twin-caracked his AK - JonnyCosmo

Pretty good performance from Matheus Nicolau.
He showed a bit of everything.

Fuck...
Vettori blew it in Round 2 when he didn't have any gas.
He raped the Russian in Round 3, but it ended up being a draw, which is essentially a loss on DraftKings, as anyone who doesn't have Vettori or Akhmedov will automatically be ahead of the field...
I really feel Barboza is going to knock Khabib out. USADAproblems is my only reason why I think this.
Holm is also likely to upset. I didn't bet but if I was going to bet I'd pick those two underdogs(?), haven't checked the odds lately

Khabib doesn't have issues related to USADA. His big issue was making 155 pounds, but he finally hired a nutritionist and was on weight the night before weigh-ins and looked good on the scale.
Barboza always looks amazing on the scale.
Holm's only chance is to land a head-kick. Cyborg is better than Holm in every facet of MMA, imo.

Holly's chances are slim, but she can play it technical and keep the distance and eek out a win. I need to see odds though
Khabib time will end today, his tiramisu excuse and refusing UFC doctors then opting to go with a random E.R. resident is a HUGE USADA FLAG imo, he might be using both recovery and masking shit to make weight, I mean, if we're to trust Russian's records with doping, I think it's pretty clear they've been dirty since time immemorial. He can go ham and roll the dice though. Again only my theory lol

Well, since Barboza can only win via KO/TKO, we won't really know if Khabib is juicing if he loses here. We'd need to see him against someone more well-rounded.
Barboza needs to land a big shot Under 1.5 rounds, or he'll be too tired to do anything and lose via GnP or submission in R2/R3.
yeah barboza was the smaller guy there, khabib gonna khabib. i'll need to see those USADA results now lol
stupid of me to think this was a five rounder
Man nurmagomedov is so sick. He gave barboza no room at all to work even after he got tired. Bbz showed a lot of heart imo after the beating he took in r1

Round 1: Cyborg
Round 2: Holm (I favor Cyborg, but the judges probably liked the way Holm kept clinching and stalling against the cage, even though she did no damage in the clinch)
Round 3: Cyborg (clearly, and even wobbled Holly at the end)
Round 4: Cyborg (Holly is moving back the entire time, and is eating more shots and isn't landing much of her own)
Round 5: Cyborg
Cyborg 4-1 at worst.

Surprised at how it played out. Thought holly would have the upper hand in striking but cyborg would win because she is supposedly more complete. In the end it looked like she was the counterpuncher after all. Weird that holly seemed to be the stronger fighter but had no clue what to do at the fence and only used it to tire justino or win points
Im no fan but glad cyborg won because she seems to have a sick work ethic
Btw: 48-47? O.o

Aside from holding Cyborg against the cage, Holly didn't do enough in 4 out of the 5 rounds to win the fight. Holly still throws the same combos, moves the same, and telegraphs her strikes by screaming "ish-ish" and "kyaa-kyaa" all the time. What is more, Holly had the worse gas tank of the two fighters and slowed down in Round 4, which made it easy for Cyborg to win the championship rounds.
As for DraftKings, I invested $137.25, won $232.33, and profited $95.08.
I had Marvin Vettori in almost every team, and his fight went to a draw, which is basically a loss on DraftKings for both fighters in that fight. Diakiese fighting like shit and getting submitted in R3 also hurt, as well as Glenn landing 14 strikes in 3 rounds...
Overall, I am happy with my picks for the most part. Too bad I completely faded the Polish guy who was the cheapest guy on the card, and won a clear decision and scored well.

tbh i personally think Holm is on major juice right now.
Could very well be that she is stronger than cyborg.
cyborg has lost a lot of size and holm looked bigger (And more male) than ever
U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)

Fight of the Night ($50,000 each): Cris Cyborg vs. Holly Holm Performance of the Night ($50,000 each): Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tim Elliott
----------
Cris Cyborg: $500,000 (no win bonus)
def. Holly Holm: $300,000
Was thinking the same thing. UFC probably has brackets with some manoeuvrability. Khabib is no joke. Against Khabib you have 1 shot at KOing him but after he closes distance you are drawing dead on the ground.

I mean, from what i understand, the salary is roughly based on drawing power. I don't know for you, but more i'm excited to see Khabib fight than Cyborg. Khabib could very easily be a really strong LW champion if he stays healthy.
