Looks like accurate odds to me. Maybe it's just because Gastelum is quick but Souza looked like age finally caught up

After Kelleher dropped out, I remade all of my DraftKings teams and ended up only having 2 teams in the $1 event with Lima/Wieczorek. None with them in the bigger tournaments.
Thank you, Mr. Kelleher.

Sick recovery and submission by Shane Burgos.
Burgos was losing the striking battle, and then he got dropped again after getting dropped and finished in his previous fight.
I'll take his chin into account in his next fight. He might be overvalued again.

I'm watching on Fight Pass. This 3rd fight is almost over, then the Fox Spots 1 fights start.
I won't need a stream until the PPV portion, which starts in 2 hours.

Cannonier looks good at middleweight!
I had a feeling he would win this, jokingly told my GF i i was betting, i'd bet on him. Its like he still had some of HW power but now fast like a MW. He got great potential at MW imo.

Guess sometimes it is just as easy of a fight at it looks like its going to be. DC dominated
the ref @ Weidman vs Souza was pretty bad, Weidman got KOed there and Souza stopped correctly, a guy that has just been KOd shouldnt suffer more dmg :/
sick fight
Cormier fight was a joke as expected. I'm not watching an even dumber fight with him and Lesnar.... Joe Rogan trying to desperately help him push it . I doubt Miocic would lose against him again and JBJ obv crushes him in LHW so...

SICK FIGHT BETWEEN JACARE & WEIDMAN!
FOTY candidate for sure.
Yeah I enjoyed the hell out of that. Jacare with head movement was really nice to see honestly. Yeah, he's getting old, you can definitely tell, but glad to see this. Lovely, loooovely body work too.
Hm.. Off-suite socks..

The body work was really good. Was on Weidman and never felt like he was definitely going to win even as the announcers were saying how good his hands looked. Kept getting ripped to the body without adjusting and he was progressively reacting noticeably worse to shots even before the kill shot
Not sure what he does anymore. He's taken a lot of damage recently. Top of the division seems to have passed him by. Not strong enough for 205
Hopefully for his sake they don't match him with Adesanya. Maybe 3 yrs ago Weidman grounds Israel and pounds him out. Now though, Israel prob fends him off and hands out a prolonged beating on the feet at which point Weidman should definitely retire
