I'd normally say McGregor takes this, but I honestly don;t see him having the motivation anymore. No idea why he s back, he s made millions and accomplished his goals, I wouldn't feel too confident about him, while Cerrone legitimately just loves fighting

- Cowboy loves to fight.
- Conor has made millions, and the only reason why he would return is because he, too, loves to fight.
- Both of these guys are natural 155ers, so it makes sense for both of them not to cut weight and fight at 170 instead. That being said, Cowboy is better at 170 than 155.

My best guess is that his new venture (Proper 12) is an extremely capital intensive business, and without his checks and free marketing via the UFC, this venture becomes unfeasible.
Going to enjoy the fight regardless.. should be a fun one
Don't think he has as huge negotiation weigh nowadays though after Khabib smacked his ass and him being away for practically 3 years (excluding the Khabib fight)

You should meet me in Vegas for this card. You will be able to get +100 or better on Grasso's money line on fight day.

enlighten me.
You essentially said that Grasso beats Claudia.
If you feel really strong about Grasso beating Claudia, then you should go to Las Vegas and place a big bet on Grasso over Claudia, as Grasso's money line will be at least +100 on fight day.
I will be in Las Vegas for this card, so if you want to meet up with me and a couple of other guys I know from Sherdog, you can chill with us and watch + bet on the fights while we eat and drink.

I might be out there to sweat the fights, if I am I will let you guys know.
I imagine McGregor by 1st round finish is the favored result (-105 or more)
Ehh they are both counter-strikers and both like to establish their range, McGregor won't have a size advantage ... and even if he does he's not going to be much bigger, so he can't come out and be too overly aggressive right off the bat

Like Holm and Gadelha odds. I think Holly just matches up really well vs Pennington and would win 8 of 10 even though the actual overall skill difference isn't that much. But I've been pretty bad recently so Raquel probably wins
Barber is a -1000 favorite. Haven't seen that in MMA in awhile. Probably justified
Conor within 2 if he's in form

i actually thought the fight would be a lot closer than what people were speculating, something along the lines of 60/40 in favor of conor. then i rewatched cowboys recent fights since they were uploaded to youtube and immediately changed my mind.
i still think donald is probably the value bet but fuck i'd hate betting on him. i can see him winning if it somehow ends up on the ground early, like the olivera and perry fights
conor > cowboy
holm > pennington
grasso > gadelha
ferreira > pettis
barber > roxy
gastelum jr > dober
not sure what it is but something about macey barber makes me not like her; she'll probably cruise to a title shot then get demolished by valentina.
Conor's worst enemy is cardio. The man could fight Henry Cejudo and lose in 5 rounds. If Conor had 5 good rounds in his tank he can beat anyone and everyone in LW, could probably be WW champion even. If his cardio is much worse now because of the layoff, he'll be having a tough time getting the FW belt
don't understand how the layoff would impact his cardio ... he either improves it in training or doesn't but the idea of him not fighting having much to do with that is confusing
there will be no weigh cut related fatigue now as well

That's because fight cardio is way different from training cardio. Conor can last 18 rounds even in hard training (ive seen videos and he brags about it constantly) but in actual fights breathing is way heavier and harder to regulate, pressure is tremendous and there are zero breaks unlike in sparring. Conor fades sharply after the 2nd round and unless he manages it well or his opponent doesn't put it on him it just gets worse and worse. He got lucky Nate went HAM on him in round 3 of the 2nd fight thinking he'd get finished and surprisingly winded himself out as well which gave COnor enough time to get back on track. I honestly believe Nate could've easily won the rematch had he paced himself in the 3rd and not try to finish Conor.
People like Tony F and Nate who are naturally gifted with gas tanks are like Conor's opposite because his game relies heavily on hurting opponents early while he's got a full tank of gas

how did he win the mental battle? I haven't been following the prefight trashtalk
I've just seen the press conference and it might be a crazy idea. So Conor is actually NOT trash talking whatsoever, he s won the batttle by... making Donald think he s doing him a favor almost fighting him, I got to believe this cause of 2 moments during the press conference:
1) when a journalist asked Donald something along the lines whether or not Conor thinks he s basically a bum that he will smash ... except in a polite manner - Conor instantly start being loud and diverts the topic,hijacking the journalists moment to defuse the tension, Donald still gets to answer the question 30s later except its in a much different 'setup'
2)when they face off, Donald goes with a big smile and makes a funny joke like 'u re 1 inch shorter' - Conor s not playing any games and is pretty serious plus makes Donald take a few steps back, even though he is the bigger dude ...
When he talks about 'boxing title' does he realize that Canelo and Golovkin are the two guys that dominate all weights he's compatible with and they will both absolutely take his soul out in a boxing match lol

$1800 slot machine win.
As for my bets on this card, my only serious bet thus far is $200 on Fili +120. I have several small fliers on props and stuff.
I'm looking to add $100 to Holm. Just waiting to see if her line improves.
