Wait, wasn't Ferguson having mental issues. Why are they letting him fight? The reported behavior he had is basically schizophrenia no?

Like Sterling and Kowalkiewicz a lot. Karolina mostly because Grasso really sucks
Haven't made up mind on Cerrone/Ferguson or the main. Both should be really fun

I knew about his mental issues but I just googled the wife's allegations and its much worse than I thought, damn.
Explain Cerrone + Cejudo. Leaning slightly the other way for both but could easily change by Saturday
Cerrone has shown improvement, and is more focused, and is taking this fight on 1 month notice, which is a good thing for him because he fights best when super active.
Ferguson eats a lot of shots, is still having personal problems + mental issues, and isn't as good as good of a striker as Cerrone.
Cejudo keeps improving, so it's hard to predict what he'll look like here, but I expect him to use his movement + strength + wrestling advantage at the right time throughout the fight. Cejudo has more ways to win and has the better skill set and is the current flyweight champion with a chamion's mindset who just knocked out the previous bantamweight champion.

honestly think tony smashes cowboy. cowboy has always struggled against lanky and pressure type guys, of which tony is both. plus cowboy always gets his gut destroyed (see pettis, till) and tony does great body work.
the only way donald can win this is with some random front kick up the middle, like the one he hit al with.

I just don't think the personal + mental issues are going to be an issue for someone like Ferguson. Cerrone has shown tangible improvement and focus. Probably a toss up fight so the side to be on is Cerrone. Still undecided though

Kowalkiewicz v Grasso
The odds on Kowalkiewicz vs Grasso are now almost equal. I haven't seen Grasso besides her loss to Tatiana Suarez and it was a long time ago so don't have many memories on her performance.
However, I remember that I wasn't impressed by striking her at all and Karolina is probably the best striker she has faced.
So I don't see how Karolina can lose and the 1.90 (-110) odds on her seem very tempting.
Tuivasa v Ivanov
I don't think Ivanov beat Rothwell in his last match and that it was a draw at best. However, the judges thought otherwise.
Ivanov striking is questionable and I'm not sure he will be able to take Tuivasa down either. I think Tai is the better striker overall and will put a lot of pressure on Ivanov, possibly and possibly KO him.
If the odds on Tuivasa go above 1.75 (-140) I will probably bet on it.

I also think karolina should be a bigger fav. Gun-shy though because she hasn't looked good and I've lost a few wagers on her. Grasso does suck though
