That would be a dumb fight for Conor. Masvidal is much bigger and hits like a truck and is super tough like Diaz.

the subtle reference is incredibly funny and contextually has me laughing my arse off. Well done, mate.
I’m predicting Barber with POFT $50K. I see a first/second round KO/TKO/Sub. She is one tough woman and wanted to be the youngest to have the strap(Beaton Jones’ record). She’ll have a huge chip on her shoulder being the underdog in this match. Something feels off with her being the underdog in this match, but I predict a win,

I’ve watched her fights since she was in LFA and am confused as to why she’s the underdog. Oddsmakers don’t make mistakes, but seeing Barber at +115 is confusing. I can’t figure out why sharps aren’t on that line(except for Covid). A lot of betting opportunities before then so maybe the line goes down. I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes down. +115 for her just seems off.

Any thoughts? Did Grasso(a great fighter) change teams? I guess I’m surprised Barber is an underdog this early in her career. I expected it once she got to the top 5, but this one should be interesting.

Any debate other would be welcome. I understand if y’all aren’t that familiar with her. Her momentum was stopped when she was injured during a match with Roxy(another fighter I love. She’s a sweet person). But Barber is on a mission and I think this is the re-start.

I think it is because barber got pieced up by roxy despite being a huge favorite. If I remember right she beat her pretty convincingly even before the injury. that was really her first tough test in the ufc and she failed.

grasso has fought some big names and beat a few. and she beat the shite out of that last chinese chick at flyweight.

I dont have a problem with the line I would probably bet on grasso just because hse has the dreamy eyes.

I never thought about it, but I guess that’s why combat wrestling tournaments are light on BJJ players?

pump the brakes. Masvidal Covington I think is the biggest fight in the division.


Disagree completely. Very rarely should a fight be considered bigger than a title fight.. usman/Burns should be electric

you are crazy if you think usman burns is a bigger fight than masvidal covington. the latter would do twice the ppv numbers. dont get me wrong, usman burns is a good fight, but it isnt a bigger fight. ufc 258 is a weak card I would be surprised if the ppv numbers are anywhere near decent. neither burns or usman is pulling in ppv.

what you are saying is dumb. thats like saying nate diaz vs conor wasnt a bigger fight than whoever was fighting at 155 at the time.
