Slam Larkin -300. He should be -500
 
bader vs kongo, the rematch no one asked for.

does polizzi have a chance vs 400y old romero? should be a tougher opponent than manhoef was.

Stewart is a bit of a weird one. On his day he looks excellent, on his off days he's pretty poor. He looked great in his last fight though.

Meh, he's gotten overpowered by Erik Koch and doesn't have the best chin. Him overperforming would lead to him losing a decision to Larkin as opposed to getting finished imo.

Maybe, I've never been sure about Larkin at 185 and Stewart absolutely battered Ottow (who's not great but reasonable) in his last fight. I'd favour Larkin, but I wouldn't personally want to pay juice.

I think Ottow's dogshit tbh. I get what you're saying though, but I guess I just think Stewart is that bad.
 
I haven't watched Kongo fight for a long time but watched some fairly recent highlights. Why is Bader only -300?

Just look at the first fight he was outwrestled and outgrappled decisivly. He had nothing on Bader, I guess he will do terrible against wrestlera these days

Yea, that's what I mean. Bader should have opened like -500. It seems the odds are trending that way now anyway.
 
Taking Polizzi at those odds to outhustle low output Yoel, also taking Niedzielski to find that shaky Carvalho chin.
 
I'm not going to bet on it because Romero is not dependable enough, but the quick turnaround for Polizzi after he was getting rocked multiple times in his last fight would worry me.

If he can take that knee he took I'm not really worried about him getting knocked out ever.
 
Event location: Paris, France....

Katarzyna Sadura +128 maybe

she was -126 on Tuesday evening ... 5 inch reach advantage

Interview from Aaron East:

Katarzyna Sadura – “I know I am a much more complex fighter than my opponent.”

Katarzyna Sadura 5-4-0 is a Polish professional Mixed Martial Artist currently competing in the Flyweight division, representing Octopus Łódź. She has competed for Ring XF, ThunderStorm MMA League, Bamma, Ladies Fight Night, Westside Fighting Challenge, Wirtuoz Challenge and Bellator MMA.

I’d like to kick things off by thanking you for taking the time to speak to me today Katarzyna and also to congratulate you on your upcoming inclusion on the Bellator 280 card.

“Hi, thanks for having me.”

I hope training camp has gone smoothly in the build-up to your return to the cage?

“My fight camp went very well, without any injuries that would force me to take a break from training. I have done my schedule and put the work in 100%.”

Bellator cards have always been ones not to be missed, unbelievably stacked with talent in every country they visit.

France is no exception, how did you feel when receiving the call that you’ll be included in Scott Coker’s return to Paris?

“I fought in Moscow for Bellator 269 with really big names on the same card as me. This time is no different, so I suppose I need to get used to it lol. but the truth is I am focused only on my fight and the work I need to proceed with. It is like other people are more excited about these names than I am. I’m just grateful I’m able to fight for Bellator.”

This is your 2nd outing with Bellator and a chance to make your intentions known in the Flyweight division. What does it mean to you to be part of one of the biggest organizations in the MMA community?

“My debut for Bellator in October was also my debut in the new division, which is Flyweight. I am very proud of being a Bellator fighter. I am the first Polish Woman in the organization and that means a lot for me. I want to represent this organization with dignity.”

Every athlete in the fight game has a story to tell about how they entered combat sports. To give the fans a bit of insight leading up to May the 14th, what first attracted you to the brutal yet exhilarating world of mixed martial arts?

“My father took me to the gym when I was 6-years-old and I’ve stayed there till this day. MMA was natural because I had been through many ground and standing sports disciplines, finally it was time to combine them.”

The women of MMA have had quite the explosive bouts in recent years in the cage. Captivating the crowd and showing the world they can be just as ruthless and entertaining as their male counterparts. When entertaining the well-organized world of mixed martial arts, was there a fighter you looked up to as a role model along your journey?

“I never had one specific role model. Of course, I watched many fighters and I knew what would be good for me and whatnot. But I am focusing on what is in my heart, not what I see on the screen of the virtual world.”

The stage is almost set for a night of pure unadulterated organized violence at the ACCOR Arena. you take center stage against France’s Lucie Bertaud, what’s your opinion of Lucie going into your scheduled meeting in the lion’s den?

“Lucie is a good fighter and a valuable asset to Bellator, she’s a good boxer that’s for sure. The crowd will come out for her but I’ve been in that situation already and I don’t care.”

Without giving too much away what steps have you been taking to make sure you walk out with your arm raised and another W on your Bellator record?

“I know I am a much more complex fighter than my opponent and I will make sure to show my all-roundness.”

All roads and avenues have led to what could be one of the defining moments within your journey so far. Some of the biggest names in Bellator will be joining you in the proverbial Lion’s den on May 6th.

Other than your inclusion on the night are there any match ups in particular that you’re looking forward to witnessing?

“My Polish colleague is having his debut the same night, Piotrek Niedzielski. So I will be crossing my fingers for him. He’s higher on the card so I will be watching his fight. Of course, the main event and Co-main event are mind-blowing.”

I wish you all the best for your bout and future with Bellator Katarzyna and I look forward to seeing you in action.

“Thank you very much for the interview. It’s been a pleasure.”

Last but not least do you have a message for the fans that will be in attendance and anybody you’d like to give a shout-out to?

“I’d like to give my thanks to my coaches who stayed in Poland Hubert, Kuba, Dawid, Filip, my manager Andrew, my sponsor Tico Sportswear, team Octopus Łódź and my family.”

Kongo looked like he suffered multiple strokes after 2 rounds in his last fight, how is Bader itd only -110 in a 5 rounder from cardio aspect alone?
 
• Camara/Verchere U2.5 -125 $12.50 for $10
• Alexander Polizzi +142 $25 for $35.50
 
Caught some early lines on some low lvl shit. Just ended up hedging everything otherwise I probably would have been passing completely.

Camara 680 to win 1,125
Victor 700 to win 630

Long/Guti U1.5 840 to win 733

Bertaud 500 to win 550
Sadura 181 to win 300

Leary 48 to win 300

Barton 1,000 to win 2,650
Diatta 1,650 to win 673
O2.5 445 to win 312

Bader + Salawi ( after tape, might cash this out after Bader wins )
