I wan to play Johnson (lol) ITD at -165 but am a bit reluctant after seeing his last three or four have gone the distance.... and them having been partially razor close decisions. Is this really that kind of step down in competition ? I guess if Yadiev's gas is as mythically bad as it's being played up to be a Johnson stoppage after the early storm is the logical end result.
I managed the get the Boa Constrictor at +185 for almost 400 bucks and I feel pretty good about it having seen Oleinik now hovering down at +140 and tighter. One of my favorite MMA fighters, to be perfectly honest I don't know why the man doesn't have a mythical status beyond him already, his skill is clearly next level and his actual resume is jaw dropping.
He's done things in the octagon we've never seen any other heavyweight do, period. Even with his shockingly low knockout ratio he clearly has B-Level hands to go along with his once in a generation submission talent, sparking Rosholt out cold with a left hook, and dropping Travis Browne and Hamilton with right hands.
Just a really underrated fighter with an out of this world number of stoppages with everything from exotic chokes to heel locks. I think he's clearly improved over the years and at this point firmly belongs in the UFC top ten. I can't say the same about this version of Mark Hunt.
