don't see any way ortega wins. the "lose until you find some random choke" won't work against a guy as nasty as tkz

Interesting pick with Antigulov. You don't think Grishin can handle that first couple of minutes vs him?
I like the Martinez pick. Who knows what we're gonna get with Almeida.
I think Botelho is def live.
And I like Krause but not at that price.

After seeing the weigh-in, Grishin makes Antigulov look tiny.
I am leaning toward Almeida now, but still like Martinez. Good fight either way.

Almeida physically and skillwise better than Martinez for sure. But he's a big question mark imo.
I switched to Almeida on DK. Odds are close, but he has the higher upside to score way more points via finish and decision, whereas Martinez needs a finish to score well.
1. He is a little bigger than Martinez.
2. Almeida is moving up to 145 for this fight and doesn't look small. All of his previous fights were at 135.
3. Almeida has the boxing and output advantage, and was getting owned by superior technical boxers back in the day.
4. Martinez can get the finish, but he throws more leg kicks and isn't a high output boxer.
5. Almeida is the one with the full camp. (Martinez replaced someone else)
6. This is a big step down in competition when compared to all of the guys Almeida has lost to.

No bets for me this card, just a lot of DraftKings teams. 4-5 teams in the big $15 event, and a lot of teams in the $10 late slate. I'll be back in Vegas next weekend for the Khabib/Gaethje card.

Quick and easy win for Said...
I only have 4 teams in the big event on DK, but they are dead already because I chose to avoid Said due to his price. He'll likely be on the winning team.
That being said, I have 15 entries in the late slate event, which will begin with the last 8 fights on the card.

That stoppage was ridiculous. Antigulov wasn't even hurt.
Glad that fight wasn't on the late slate on DraftKings. 1 more fight, and my night begins.

I have 15 lineups. My key fighters are Park, Robertson, and KZ.
I also have Almeida and Claudio Silva mixed in there.
If I have some live teams toward the end of the night, I'll post them here.

Park doesn't even care that he won, he's just happy he scored more GnP than Chimaev... xD

Nice performance from Martinez. His kicks confused Almeida in R1, and then he used them again in R2, and then he stopped using them in R3 when Almeida was forced to rush in to strike which meant Martinez just had to counter since he was up on the cards.
I did notice that Almeida seemed a little hesitant in R2 and R3. Maybe he was still thrown off by the kicks in R1, but I dunno. Still a good performance by Martinez.

I just noticed I have Martinez in 1 team on DraftKings, but it doesn't matter because he only scored 66 points, which is terrible for a winning fighter.

Someone said that Krause said his knee is torn. Probably why the line was only -120.
Anyway, James Krause 2-1. Silva had nothing left after R1.
Terrible fight as expected.
We either see Claudio Silva in 1 year or more from now, or he gets cut since he is old and strikes like a 90-year-old.

Now Chookagian can retire like she said she was going to.
Go get yourself pregnant and start a family, dear.

Now I don't care who wins the main event, since Fight Metric screwed Park and only gave him 73 points total (they said he only landed 10 significant strikes the entire fight). All my best combos had Park in it.

I stopped watching the main event a little after R3 started.
Ortega used a good game plan, and KZ never got out of first gear. zZzZzZz
Next week's card will be good at least, and I'll be in Vegas for it. See you guys then.

i really did not see tonight's main event happening like that, but in retrospect, it makes sense.
tkz is super counter heavy, and ortega has struggled against high output pressure (max, even guida), although he looked good tonight, it really answered nothing about the rest of the top of the division since tkz fights at a much slower pace than basically everyone else in the division (sans katter maybe).
really think ortega needs another win before he gets another title shot considering how bad max smoked him
