Kang have good sub defense? Yahia is sub on first round or bust. Kang after round 1 is the play.
Kang's not gotten tapped since that one time in the regionals, and he engaged in a ground war with doping Tanaka who also managed to go the distance with Yahya, so I'd say it should be good enough to survive a few scares and take over.Kang have good sub defense?

I went with Chiesa due to odds but if you look at his record closely enough you'll see a pattern that he tends to shit the bed against a finisher/sub thread and look great against overall talented grapplers. You know the ones who go position over submission/don't work guards too much etc. So he is kind of anomaly fighter to me. The one who makes some weird mmath happen like Chiesa>RDA>Pettis>Chiesa (works with Kevin lee as well) or Chiesa>Miller>Lauzon>Chiesa and all that stuff.
I'm not sure where Brady falls in this logic.
Co Main Event is going to be some great fire!Everyone made weight.
Yaha is always for me at least has being a round one. Take Round one. This is a fight that Yahia wanted. We shall see if he will prove the doubters wrong tomorrow.Kang have good sub defense? Yahia is sub on first round or bust. Kang after round 1 is the play.
Yeah, comparing fan bets vs Vegas, McKinney is an anomaly.I know McKinney is round 1 or bust but with the terrible takedown defense for Ziam, I'm not sure why Ziam is the chalk. Medium bet for me there and small on McKinney by sub since I think the easier route to victory is the quick takedown and submission rather than the one-punch KO.
I'm the opposite on Durden/Aori. I think Aori can avoid Durden for a round and then when he gasses out take over with volume. I think the price is right on the dog there.
And finally, Loma Lookboonmee, with her thai plum and movement, I think she can avoid a lot of the takedowns and hop right back up when she does get taken down. I'm a big Loopy fan but I think the style matchup here leans towards Loma and again, the price was right.

Fan votes have him really high, but Vegas ain't buying into it.
It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.
EDIT: Levy is even moreso. Vegas has him as an underdog, but a majority of people are picking him.
Ha, I'm pretty much in the opposite camp when it comes to McKinney/Ziam and Durden/Aori. With Terrance, I think he'll be too sloppy with whatever approach he chooses, and will end up either getting caught with something, or outworked down the stretch.I know McKinney is round 1 or bust but with the terrible takedown defense for Ziam, I'm not sure why Ziam is the chalk.

Eventually he’s gonna move up to heavyweight and dwarf Ciryl GaneChiesa really is gigantic Jesus Christ
Are you guys confusing Santos with somebody else? She has pretty much won every significant minute of every fight shes been in after returning. Gillian held her down a bit but she ended up losing a lopsided decision. Roxxy had nothing for her. Id like to see JoJo win but she tends to lose decisions to fighters that manage to bully her around.
I think the consensus parlay of the weekend, not just for this forum but for other cappers I know as well, is Yanez/Santos.
I can't pay the price tag on Santos, if anything, I'd play FGTD. JoJo dec @ +400 may have some value as well, but I'm personally passing on it.
There are 3 more fight cards this year, all of which I have stronger leans on than anything on this card.
