Conor has gone completely mad and has lost the plot.

Praying Khabib mops the floor with him and humbles him.

I’m on Martin too at +160. I’ll post it here at +120, the current line, when I post my plays in a bit...

i'm debating hedging a little bit with laflare by decision - there is no way he's getting a finish. maybe i'll let it ride since i'm only 1u on martin.

my full plays

No hedging from me, it’s not my style, nor am I big on Laflare to begin with...

Good Luck on whatever you decide...

Khabib imo. Conor hasn't fought in 2 years and his cardio is suspect. Khabib gets it to the the 3rd round and u will see Conor fade fast. i will be in Vegas for the fight

I think Pettis at +268 is amazing value. No doubt Ferguson is better but Pettis style and the price is great. Ferguson isn't gonna straight pressure and then wrestle Pettis. That is how you beat him. And if you are gonna stand it has to be pressure and good boxing. That really isn't Fergusons style. I really want Tony to win though

I agree. On Pettis for small.

Disagree, but I do agree with y’alls play on Pettis, although I’m not playing it at all. You described Tony’s style to a T. He’s known for pressure with the jab, and being aggressive with elbows and the infamous D’Arce choke. He’s also known for his wrestling, although he likes to fight off his back more than most, so why wouldn’t he be content doing this...Overall, Tony is known as an aggressive pressure fighter who believes in his cardio and style of fighting. It does leave openings (drops his front hand a lot, etc), though, and Tony is coming off a layoff, so that’s why I see the value in Pettis, but I’m gonna just enjoy this one.

Tony finishes the fight way easier than Pettis does, and I think that’s what happens, but I’m fine just watching this one...

For me its Khabib or nothing.

McGregor is a good striker and gives fighters very unorthodox angles. For those saying he is the best striker.....nope sorry Every joe out there is saying Mcgregor is going to KO Khabib in the 1st round. While it certainly could happen as anything can if it was that easy in MMA "the best strikers" would be calling thier KO's all the time.

Khabib is a world class wrestler who works opponents down and is a machine at doing so. He knows what mcgregor is about and will be ready for Conner trying to tag him. He has a solid chin and can take some punches so Im not worried about him taking some shots. The way i see it is its just a matter of time before Khabib gets ahold of Mcgregor and works him over. Conner can then focus on selling his whiskey and counting his $

Oct 06 TOTAL u2½-135 (DERRICK LEWIS vrs ALEXANDER VOLKOV)

Derrick Lewis back problems have been long documented and he has talk about it openly. Derrick Lewis has now is claiming the he has fixed his back with the help of Tiger Woods’ doctor. A back that’s forced him out of fights. A back that has seized up on him in the cage with killers like Mark Hunt and Francis Ngannou. Derrick Lewis and Alexander Volkov nearly brawl during ceremonial weigh in, there is bad blood between them since Lewis previously called out by Alexander Volkov for a fight at UFC Russia . Derrick Lewis is comming off the hidiouse Francis Ngannou clusterfuck. Derrick Lewis can not afford another boring fight if he wants a title shot. Volkov has been tagged up before and has average take down defense . Generally, he relies on conditioning and toughness to outlast his opponent, but he does have KO power. Alexander Volkov has a sick side kick to the head that could end this fight or lewis could capitalize on it and use it as a take down where lewis gets most of his wins. Its rare you get under 2 1/2 on a heavy weight fight.

What did you do? You do nothing! You broke bus. You think you hero, you broke bus?

“If you think this one is problem. I think you don’t understand where I am from. I am from Mountains. You know, tough mountains. Tough life.”




Yeah....Sure sounds like it doesn’t it Enflameo?


Lmfao.
