UFC 229: McGregor vs Khabib

[jojoRed]

- Questioning Khabib's ability to handle pressure

- Is from a war torn country that has a level of cultural stoicism rarely found in the West (repression of emotion is integral to the identity of men from Dagestan)

Literally different scenarios.

We'll see come fight night.

I have a serious question to any bettors - if you bet on sports and bet the spread (for example, Rams to beat Vikings -7) and the score is 31-38 meaning -7 makes it a tie, do you get the W or L for that?

Like Elvis Costello says....there’s No Action

Oh yeah, then explain Yakov Smirnoff

I am sure that is frustrating, but I would never recommend using a credit card with any sportsbook. I simply don't believe in it for fraud prevention and other reasons. I don't know anyone who used cash or Bitcoin to fund their 5Dimes account that has had any issues. But of course, you do what you feel comfortable with. Sadly, no other book has the early opening props like 5Dimes.

If your credit card is issued from a reputable bank you'll never be liable for fraudulent charges on it. So if something shady happened it's not like you'd be out the $.

Xtreme couture training clips

Last fight was short notice, first camp together, we need to make sure she's not out working herself, she runs for 1.5 hours after training, I don't have much injuries this camp, she's at the PI for physical therapy every day, training at the PI has been amazing

 

[Card]

He's so well ahead, we stopped 1 day early, he's healthy, weight is on point, couldn't be better, expect a new fighter, we know there will be some stand up, there's no way around it, we'll go to the ground, we'l take him back down, his belief in himself and his religion, grappling with him is another world, and what he's gotten from his father, 5 round war, we'll win the end

 

[Card]

I'm terrible, my back is doing pretty good, the shots are supposed to last 10-12 months, some type of steroids, 20 shots, strained muscles, stretching and rehab, I have to lose more weight, I'm 285, I should probably be 250, I like the eat, I got shots 2-3 weeks ago, I feel good, all my fights I'm in pain, I'm surprised I've made it this far, magnesium stopped working, every camp I have to take a 10 min break, take it day by day, no way I'm pulling out of this fight, Volkov has reach, I have to push the pace and get close to him, get more strikes than he can land on me, I didn't want to fight in Russia, I have to perform better than last fight

I was looking at betting Volkov but that interview with Lewis, man it's difficult not to go full retard and add a lot on Volkov.

Do you guys think Dominick Reyes will finish OSP? 9-0 with 8 finishes, all in R1, opponents combined record is 61-45 (5-11 in ufc). Probably pass for me, just interested what you think. Thanks

 

[Sauna]

Lots of great odds like Lina, Aspen, Felice, Volkan, Sergio and Conor.

Lina and Felice have karate/taekwondo opponents which should favor their muay thai style?

Gonna stay up for this one.

Yes probably, but OSP still a live dog. Reyes has sneaky power. He never looks like he's putting max effort into his strikes, but when they land he hurts guys. Honestly reminds me a little of Anderson Silva in his prime in that way. OSP has shown he can be hit, his striking defense is below average. To his credit he's pulled a lot f fights out of the fire where he's been losing, but if Reyes lands clean a few times I think he ends it.

Edit: I think Cannonier has a solid chin and Reyes smoked him, to me that was kind of an eye opener. Not that Reyes won, but that he put Jared away that easily.

Thank you for your opinion, very good points. Agree especially on the sneaky power part, looks like he throws armpunches but still somehow wins by tko. Will sit back and watch how the fight unfolds while looking for a livebet. Thank you again.

Damn...confidence increase Volkov

 

[joenewbie]

Damn...confidence increase Volkov

To be fair this interview was 5 weeks ago so he could be feeling much better now.

 

[streetSub101]

Back injury don't work like that, its probably much worse now, I'm gonna bet Lewis R1 and volkov By stoppage

 

[Obsidian Fracture]

This is a big step up for Reyes, fighting a crafty guy with lots of experience in OSP. Always interesting to see whether guys pass these kinds of tests or not. I normally lean towards betting the experienced dog in spots like this, maybe just put a small bet on it, because Reyes could blow him out the water.

100% agree, Dominick Reyes "not by finish" is around +108. Like i said before, Reyes opponents combined record is 5-11 in ufc and, like you say, this is a massive step up. Was pretty big on Israel Adesanya not finishing Marvin Vettori, but he often wins by volume and like mkess101 says, Reyes got sneaky power. OSP got clipped in his last fights against Ilir Latifi and Tyson Pedro, got back to his feet pretty quick doh. Normally in this kind of fights the more experienced fighters are out of their prime so the younger more hungry fighter wins, but this fight feels a little bit different. Does anyone know how good Reyes ground game is? Still feels like a pass since I'm just guessing, mkess101, will you bet on this fight?

I like OSP here, but he didn't recover against Latifi and the Pedro win was wild memeing.
