LOL the last EIGHT fights on the card (the entire ppv card plus the last 3 on the undercard) are EXTREMELY difficult fights to predict. We all have our leans for sure, but if anyone thinks ANY of these 16 fighters have "no chance" they should probably stop betting MMA. Or at least they should take a break.
The problem is that stylistically there's gonna be guys that win convincingly and those who backed them will probably act like they knew it all along.
JDS/Stipe- Because it's HW there's a good chance someone gets blasted and it's a brutal KO. Whoever wins, their backers most likely say "I told you so..."
JJ/Andrade- If JJ uses her muy thai effectively and picks Andrade apart, she could make it look easy. On the flipside, if Andrade brutalizes JJ and finishes, same deal. Both plausible scenarios. Andrade getting more love here for sure (I'm on her too) but that's more odds based than anything.
Mas/Maia-More discussed than any fight here. Both guys with CLEAR paths to victory obviously, and a very good chance that whoever wins makes it look easy. But that doesn't mean it's not a tough fight to pick the winner.
Yair/Frankie-Same deal. Both guys have paths to victory. If Frankie implements his wrestling successfully and holds Yair down, all the Frankie backers will say how obvious it was. Meanwhile if Yair stuffs the TD's and beats Frankie from distance or catches him and finishes, you'll probably hear "Younger, faster, more dynamic guy at + odds, what an obvious bet that was..."
Jotko/Branch-Two very solid in unspectacular guys, 'nuff said.
DP/Eddie-Also has gotten a lot of attention. If Eddie wins you'll hear from his backers "Look at the level of competition, DP didn't look awesome vs Miller and got starched by MJ, this was so obvious...". If DP wins you'll hear "Eddie coming off a brutal loss, gets hit in almost every fight and DP has power, this was easy to see coming..."
Knight/Skelly- If Knight wins it will be "Skelly always gasses, Knight super gritty and tough, saw this coming". If Skelly wins it will be "Knight accepts bottom way too easily and vs a good top game guy this was easy to see how it would play out."
Sherman/Coulter-Two low level HW's so who knows what happens.
So yeah, you get the point. Nobody KNOWS anything about these fights. But of course afterward there will be some who claim they did, as there always is. Personally I'm on board with
@SBJJ in that I hunted value and looked for + odds on fights that were really tough for me to figure out who'd win. And then hunted juicy prop odds and I think I got some nice ones in JDS KO/TKO, Yair dec, DP KO/TKO, and Mas KO/TKO but who knows? Even if every one of those hit, I'm not gonna claim I "knew" it was coming LOL.
