UFC 307: Pereira vs. Rountree

Why is everyone so salty when someone shares an opinion that doesn't match theirs? Close mindedness and being emotional is the worst base for gambling.
people thinking writing a few hundred words is a grind, I really doubt they do their due diligence in any endeavor if writing seems like a grind lol.

Buckley vs Thompson fight is not going the distance, it was revealed to me in a dream. if it goes the distance, make sure you call me out, but if it doesn't and you disagreed, you have to type "I yield" in all caps.

Best of luck today and such.

that's extremely rude, this is a public forum. imagine asking for an echo chamber.

Buckley stands a better chance of getting the KO I feel, just because Aldo is always content to coast.

Stephen seemingly gets hurt at least once in his fights nowadays, and with Joaquin pursuing a wrestling gameplan, I could see a GnP finish against the fence in the second round.

This is dumb bro, Diaz was a short notice replacement, Conor was going to fight RDA at 155 for the belt and he got hurt and Diaz stepped in but they made the fight at 170 since Diaz didnt have enough time to cut to 155...So after getting that out the way, it's def. dog or pass in the Roundtree fight.

Alex can be cracked and we have seen him hurt before and well stopped by Izzy. You play value on dogs, even though Potan likely wins, Roundtree has a chance to land something early , you either bet Roundtree at these odds or you pass. So that part I agree on with you.

And he barely beat Diaz in rematch

I love you but you come off as an abrasive troll, got to keep it in check and you have to regularly dismiss everyone else's take without giving any arguments so people will think you know something and keeping it close to your chest.

Body language and tone is 90% of communication

Text is only 10%

Just saying dawh

instead of being rude to me, maybe you should've tailed this read.

Khalil is 3-0 against Glory kickboxers. He beat Jacoby on damage and destroyed Saki with only 4 years of pro experience. This was before he moved to Bankgok and made improvements.

He’s the younger and fresher fighter. Alex turned 37 this year and reflexes is the first thing to go with aging strikers. Grapple-heavy fighters like Glover can achieve success at a later age.

Khalil is the most dangerous striker Pereira has faced in his MMA career. Adesanya is fundamentally better but Khalil is way more dangerous. He’s the most savage fighter in UFC because he fights like you owe him money. Khalil’s striking is better suited for MMA. Pereira started training at a late age like Benoit St Denis which is why his fundamentals are sloppy. He relies a lot on his power and size.

Styles make fights and Pereira was matched accordingly by matchmakers. Khalil had to learn on the job and pay his dues. He has way more experienced in MMA and UFC.

Hill was a small underdog even with the layoff and achilles injury. That’s because Pereira’s striking has flaws that Hill could’ve exploited. Jiri also was a small underdog despite already losing to Pereira and getting whooped by Rakic in the 1st round. Even with his horrible head/leg defense, people still thought Jiri could exploit Pereira. The oddsmakers didn’t see anything special in Pereira’s striking ability to make him such a big favorite.

Khalil is not scared of Pereira like Jiri, Hill, and Jan. He asked for this fight last year. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain. The pressure is all on Poatan. He said in the interview with Olivi that he’s in a great place mentally. The PED suspension only motivated him to win the title to clear up any dirt on his name. He also told Olivi that he was drilling a secret move that he told Rogan about. Think Aldo-McGregor, Jiri-Poatan 2, Askren-Maia, Usman-Edwards II. They all drilled a secret move before the fight. Rogan also invited him to his podcast after the Anders fight. Rogan doesn’t invite prelim fighters to his podcast unless they are a special talent.

Rountree told Olivi that he made a promise to his coach years ago that he would become a UFC champion. Nobody expected Rountree to ever be a title challenger. So maybe his destiny is written in the stars.

He told Olivi that he lost to Walker because he didn’t know Muay Thai at the time and wasn’t comfortable in the clinch. He lost to Prachnio because he was depressed and barely trained. All his other losses are to grapplers. He has never been KO’d with punches which is Pereira’s biggest weapon: the left hook.

UFC wants Khalil to win because it legitimatizes TUF. They did something similar with Forrest. This is why they gave him a title shot over Ankalaev who has a 10 fight win streak (not counting NC and draw). Ankalaev has Dagestani privilege which gets him special favors from the UFC. They instead rewarded the title shot to a fighter who failed a drug test and pulled out of a N1 contender matchup. The UFC wants an English speaking champion who can promote and sell fights. Pereira became a star because of Adesanya, not because of his personality.

You would have said the same thing when Rountree fought Saki lmao.

Saki was coming into that fight having won the Glory LHW title, then winning his UFC debut - his formline was good.

You are making the mistake of being a square and falling into the public narrative.

The reality is Rountree has a knockdown rate on the feet of 4.3%, comapred to Pereira's of 2.5%.

4.3% of the strikes Rountree throws on the feet end up in a knockdown/ knockout.

Despite the reputation, Pereira is almost half that.

Adesanya who is 1-2 in the UFC against people with over 20 pro/ amateur kickboxing fights (Dricus/ Pereira), knocked him out and he has pillow fists.

Rountree is 2-0 against people in the UFC with over 20 pro/ amateur kickboxing fights. He doesn't just have the power to give anyone trouble, but he has the kickboxing acumen to give anyone a fight too.

If you don't think there is value at +575, then I don't know what kind of model you are using for your betting, but you need to think about packing the model away, and maybe doing something else with your spare time.

There's a lot of stuff out there bro

I'm just laughing at the long written essays with dumb logic. Not for picking Rountree.

hahahaha its like arguing with children.
