Yeah I took the +165 on TKO/KO on Ngannou...He isn't winning a decision vs Gane.
I took Fig too, basically just a bet on talent/ability. This dude seems like a huge fucking headcase and doesn't have close to the mental makeup that Moreno does or to be a champion. But he has cement for hands at 125 and I atleast don't think he would've taken the return match so early if he wasn't focused so fuck it...Think his weigh-in is going well this time too? Haven't heard anything, if anyone has a take on that feel free to post.

I’m in complete agreement with your assessment on both the main event and co-main event. The HW division is pretty thin, I just can’t get as excited as most are for Gane’s accomplishments to date.
Wins over Lewis, Volkov, Rozenstruik and a washed JDS are nice, but that’s a pretty water down crop IMO. I just keep coming back to Ngannou smashing this guy with some big shots in the first 5–10 minutes and finishing him off. If Gane can drag this into the 4-5th, he’s likely got it in the bag because Ngannou will slow down and either get finished or out pointed, but I don’t see Gane making it that far.
Figgy is the superior talent, but damn does he struggle to make this weight. Sounds like his cut was better this time, which should set up a barn burner. Moreno never seems to waver and has zero quit in him, where I could see Figueiredo get frustrated and/or do something stupid if things aren’t going his way. At this price though, he’s the play IMO.
