Fedor isn’t faster or stronger than Bader. Lol!! Not even close, his brute strength is one of his best overall assets...He is suceptible to subs, though...

I too really like Ngannou, and am salivating at that line some...

I didn't even notice this the first time I read through that gibberish but he just said it is "1 of the most insane lines" he has EVER seen and then right after says he will "go small on Fedor".....Umm, if it is 1 of the most insane lines you've ever seen then wouldn't you wanna maybe bet a little more than you normally do? Just a thought...

Why, of course!

Fader hasn't beaten anyone that isn't washed up or looking for a paycheck in over a decade. That's not an exaggeration.

Bader is a legitimate top 5-10 LHW, Fedor isn't faster or stronger but whatever I'm not going to go to great lenghts to make the case for a guy winning when he is -320....Good to hear you think that though.


Nice call on Jones/Gus, good thing you decided to slank away rather than bet me. Next time you tell someone you want to put a dime on a fight, make sure they don't have a dime to put on it. Otherwise when they call you out, you kinda look like a clown.

Jones is a walking cheat, I never touched that fight due to his PED's and I will argue he has been on them all along with masking agents

Fedor is much quicker with his hands than Ryan and has been one of the strongest HW that ever fought not to mention has beaten much better wrestlers than Ryan

That line is mostly based on Fedor going on 43 years of age...

Yeah, 15 years ago. That's the point.

Like I said I'm not gonna go to great lengths to argue -320 is a great play or anything, but I do think the line should be higher and isn't just because Fedor's name value.

MMA can be weird like that with the legends. I have no clue how Chuck was only +250 vs Tito either.

He still isn’t stronger than Bader like you said. Bader’s Strength, along with conditioning, is some of the best in all of MMA. I can see why you see a little value in Fedor, but you didn’t say that either, you called it one of the most insane lines you’ve ever seen, and that is just plain wrong as well...

What are you guys doing with this fight? I bet Dillashaw when it came out at -190 and I'd probably going to bet it for more in the next day or two. I expected this line to be like -350.

Cejudo just isn't that good and it is a horrible style matchup for him. His gameplan vs superior fighters is just to use his wrestling to lay and pray on them but TJ is bigger, has excellent TDD and has a huge edge in striking.

Short of just being fucked with a bad weight cut (he has 1 of the best nutrition/training teams out there from what I understand) I really don't see many pathways to victory for Cejudo.

UFC obviously put this together not because it is a superfight or anything (its on ESPN, not even PPV..No one really cares about it, hype is minimal) but so TJ beats him and then they can end the commercial failure that is the 125 pound division.

Cejudo isn't that good? I wouldn't go that far.

Dude, you are high.

If you want to waste some money, bet on Fedor against Bader.

Where do you get -320? My book has -400.

Now, I think the UFC is handing Cowboy to the young stud Alexander Hernandez. I think this one gets ugly real early. Hernandez is a stud.

Nitrogen, they have the same lines as pinnacle for MMA/boxing usually. But very few options besides just straight bets and rd over/unders.

Cejudo isn't that good? I wouldn't go that far.

In the context of fighting TJ. He's a good fighter at a lower weight class fighting a great fighter at a higher weight class.

I think there is one of those "there are levels to this" fights but we'll see soon enough.


Another thing I meant to mention about this fight is nothing says UFC brilliance more than having 2 guys cut weight to fight at a weight class that isn't gonna exist right after the fight ends, lol. Brilliant. Just have the fight at 135 but I guess if you do that then TJ winning 2 belts and the question of can he fight Cejudo in his own weight class goes out the window. And once that stuff goes out the window, the fight is much less intriguing on paper.

I mean, beating Mighty Mouse for the title was no easy task.

5th ever champion vs champion fight in the UFC

The fighter that has moved weight classes is 3-1 in the previous 4 with B.J. Penn's loss to GSP in 2009 being the only loss.

Dillashaw currently -210

What you think of the fight?

I saw the esteemed Colby Covington agrees with me so there is that....

I don't think the way he beat him can be duplicated vs TJ. My only real concern was the weight cut but that seems to be going fine, I think once that is out of the way tomorrow without a hitch, you will then see the line climb up.

Seems like he is on his way to making weight.
