think Volk makes it look easy. Outside of Volk getting caught, I just don’t see Yair’s path to victory. I think Volk is better everywhere. I pretty much agree with you on the rest. Moreno and Pantoja will be the best fight on the main card.


Yeah i mean i think volk should win but from a betting perspective I dont mind +410 for yair to win by tko or sub. Imo thats a great value for a guy that can finish anyone at any point in the fight.

This card is kind of weird betting wise with all the huge favorite

To get my wife into it I placed a one dollar parlay. If she picked all 5 fights right, we're gonna win $415. Problem is she has bo Nickal and Volk both losing.

Yeah Bo Nickal isn't losing unless he gets stung by lightning or pulls a Aaron Pico and can't take a punch.. Nickal unlike Pico wrestled in college in front of over 10,000 plus fans that hated him several times.. I mean weird things happen but he's been in the limelight in front of a hostle crowd when he wrestled at Penn State so he probably won't get punched and submit the dude in under 2 minutes

Anyone can get caught, but of the little film there is of Nickal’s opponent, he striking is very sloppy. He does have a lot power and throws haymakers maybe one lands on nickal’s chin.

Dana just announced Bones vs Stipe to headline 295 in November


Yeah, let’s just skip the #1 rank guy who had 6 straight finishes, two of whom were against top 5 guys, in the 1st round. Let’s choose a 41 year old who has fought in over 2 years. I guess there are two sets of rankings. One based on merit and one based on money.

stipe never been a draw so the only thing that makes sense is they/jones think jones will smoke stipe and they can squeeze one more fight out of him against pavlovich. or another thing would be if jones beats pavlovich and retires there is no white knight to step in and be the future of the HW division since gane has lost fights for the belt twice. the only other young guys are aspinall and almeida. my guess is if jones wins and retires you see one of those two facing pavlovich, probably aspinall since he could headline a london card for the belt and it be a big deal.

Bo dropped from -2500 to -1600. Still a huge favorite but wonder why the big drop

Hooker also moved a little closer to Turner. I have him pulling the upset

Probably because a good amount of money is being put in on the dog.

Nickal absolutely should easily win, but in MMA… big underdogs pull off upsets all the time.. and at those crazy odds, it’s worth taking a shot.

Yep. Stipe is fricking 40. Pav is the closest we will get to Jones - Francis.

I also think Jones will duck Pac forever of he can.
