I mean is it worth risking some on Burns at the current line?
And I'm leaning Holloway... He could make some adjustments like checking the leg kicks and could be starting the fight at south paw, anticipating Volkanovski's approach with a knee. Dunno...
Just watched Burns vs Woodley again. I think Burns is slightly better at striking compared to Covington? If the line was any better, I think under 4.5 rounds could be a good bet.

Oh damn, I think a short notice fight is the only way Masvidal has a chance to win this. This is gonna be good (Unless Kamaru lies on top of him for 5 rounds ofc)

I was going to bet $1k on Usman -200 or better against Burns. I don't feel as confident now that Usman is fighting Masvidal.
I am currently waiting to see what the Under will be priced at. Assuming it's set at 4.5 rounds.
Curious on your Andrade pick. You think the first bout has a huge psychological effect on Namajunas? Judging from that bout, I couldn't think of any way how Namajunas could lose here.

Depending who you ask, 5 rounds favors Andrade more than it does Namajunas.
This fight is 3 rounds. I think Andrade is going to be able to empty the tank with strikes and get multiple take downs (pick-ups/throws/dumps) in every round to win a decision -- possibly a TKO.
Round 1 is always Namajunas' bets round. She gets worse with each round after R1. I plan to live bet this fight (all fights), as Andrade will most likely win and dominate R3.

You don't think Namajunas could maintain sticking and moving for the whole three rounds this time around?
I think I gotta watch the first fight again and see how Namajunas got her back at the cage..

Even if Namajunas wins a decision, it's highly unlikely that she wins Round 3. She starts fast and slows down, while Andrade keeps the same high pace for 3 rounds and has even shown to turn it up in Round 3, since her opponents don't have as good of a gas tank as her.
That being said, Namajunas is a -210 favorite for a reason. I just think that Andrade will win again, and any dog odds are great for me.

I already bet Andrade +180 around 2 weeks ago.
Nono.. It's not that I don't think you're right. I'm just trying to learn and pick some info here and there by asking these questions.
Anway, who you got for the main event? Already dropped something something on Masvidal. Lol. But what do you think of the under 4.5 at -165?
