Anthony Smith +250

Better hope for Ulberg to make a boneheaded mistake like Vitor Petrino and get submitted in round 1 lol

Better hope for Ulberg to make a boneheaded mistake like Vitor Petrino and get submitted in round 1 lol

Or go too hard for the KO and get pieced up by Anthony. I think Ulberg will win but I wouldn't bet against Smith

Even odds on Whittaker...against a guy who is unranked with no notable wins.
Mental.

Mental.

He's shown the skills though. People said similar things & acting surprised about Islam "no top 5 wins" Makhachev being favored over Charles Oliveira and look how that turned out.

Shown the skills against...who? Unranked guys? Seen all the time fighters KO/Sub streaks disappear when they fight good competition for once.
At least Islam had ranked wins.
Same jokers thinking Abus would beat Sean have a hardon for this.

Islam's been the favorite his entire career before he had any ranked wins. Hooker was his only ranked win going into the Oliveira fight and he was still the favorite.

You can only beat who is in front of you. Not denying he hasn't faced great talent, not saying Ikram will win but he should at least make it a competitive fight in the early rounds. Whittaker could take over the longer it goes when you factor in he's been training for a 5 round fight & Ikram hasn't.

But yeah it's a similar thing, people acting so shocked when Makachev with his recent wins over Bobby Green & Dan Hooker is favored over Oliveira and then he dominates that fight. Makhachev was still a lot more proven at the higher levels than Aliskerov is to this point but the betting market does think he's a very live dog.

I thought green was but that wasn't right. At least Islam had MANY fights in the UFC against recognizable names. Comparing ikram to Islam is just wild at this point. 2 UFC fights and 1 DWCS fight.

Pereira should be -500 against Jiri

Islam was the favorite against the dominant champion while Ikram is the slight underdog against an aging contender in the division.

Pereira should be -500 against Jiri

Not at all. Jiri is still a very live dog in this rematch.

• He was coming off his shoulder injury & over a year out of the cage when they first fought
• He had Pereira mounted in the first round
• He rocked Pereira with a pretty good shot & backed him up to the cage in round 2

So there is some success to build off of. Not necessarily making my pick right now but he can absolutely get it done, wouldn't surprise me at all. Perhaps he can take a few lessons from the first fight and make some adjustments ie not getting his leg chopped up super quick like the first fight.

 

[ArmenianAssasin]

Whittaker at -135 in a 5 rounder against a short notice replacement is a good deal

 

[CieloLuce]

Those odds for Lopez look good. For Smith, it feels like fools gold a bit. I will see during weigh ins.

 

[svmr_db]

Whittaker at -135 in a 5 rounder against a short notice replacement is a good deal

True but keep in mind Aliskerov still had a full training camp & was supposed to be fighting tomorrow, so it's not like he's coming off the couch like Volkanovski & Usman did for UFC 294.

There's always a few retards on sherdog. Islam was a 3 to 1 favorite. Don't spread false narratives as if the world thought that

If Ikram wins, he takes Jared, Imavov's and Whittaker's spot for the title shot and honestly deservingly so if he wins on such short notice and that too with minimal fight expereince in the organization.
