yea, it's hard to TRULY gauge moraes vs the top guys, but i think i'd pick him straight up vs anyone not named cruz... idk.. some awesome fights, like i said. tough call w/dillashaw, maybe..
 
Damn. As much as CM Punk is a legend, after watching the first part of his documentary series it looks like Gall could have value at any line better than -8000

Hopefully Punk turns GOAT by the end of this

Gall itd is -230 which just seems like stealing. Normally I'll wait but I just don't want to risk this line getting any worse. I might have to bet Gall rd 1 earlier than I'd like too, it's at -110.

I don't begrudge Punk taking advantage of his fame to try MMA, but I think he's getting steamrolled here.
 
I love Lineker, but no way do I favor him over Dodson. I guess I'll wait on the ML (hope I don't regret it but would love +125 on Dodson), but I am hitting Dodson's dec line now at +326 as I just don't want to risk missing that line.

Lineker is simply amazing inside the pocket. And if Dodson is dumb enough to be there and trade with him then good chance Lineker does what he's been doing. But there's gonna be a very, VERY decided speed advantage for Dodson. To the point where if he wants, he can stay outside and pop shot Lineker all night without putting himself in harms way much. To me, betting Linker is mostly betting the Dodson shows very poor fight IQ. Which I don't see happening. Dodson's a good enough wrestler too that I could see him scoring some TD's.
 
^^^F it, I put 1.5u on Dodson's ML at +105. I don't like betting this far out but I really want him at dog odds and kinda think he may get bet down to being the favorite.

I'm actually watching Lineker/Baugatinov right now. Lineker lands some awesome body shots but Ali lands a lot to Lineker's head and stands in front of Lineker way more than I think Dodson will. If Dodson replicates this gameplan but with a bit more movement Lineker really will be swinging at air for 25 minutes.

Agreed. And not even a pure fade of Cm Punk. Gall is very good
 
Chael lost his newborn daughter to listeria :(

I didnt see yairs last fight. How was his defense?

JB, what is your first gut response on this fight for a winner?

Better, but he's still hittable.

This is a tough one. Yair's whackiness is an interesting contrast to Chois sniper style. Think Choi will open a dog, and I'll play him if he is.
 
That spinning sh*t ain't gonna work against Choi.
 
I just got done watching Season 2 of "Where Are They Now?" on Fight Pass. It was a little better than the first season, mostly cuz none of the 6 former fighters ended up in a shitty situation when compared to a few of the guys from Season 1.

Which fighters are featured this season?
 
Korean superboy for me yair's stuff in terms of getting a knockout is so low percentage and if superboy can get in the pocket hell yeah
 
re: choi-yair -- no doubt, tough fight for both -- but be careful on choi... we've seen plenty of young guys who get a few quick finishes, what happens when they go deep? yair just showed pretty good cardio for 25 min
