UFC FN - Cannonier v Imavov (June 8)

[Georges Hefner]

 

[Georges Hefner]

Jared seems to get better with age. He beat Strickland who is elite. And we seen Strickland beat Imavov off the couch last year. I’m not sure how Imavov wins this fight.

I’m not worried about Reyes chin in this spot. Jacoby is not a power puncher & Reyes is a better fighter.

Rosas should easily beat Turcios with his wrestling. I don’t like the odds but I do think they are accurate.

Be careful with this one, Jacoby's last two wins are 1st round KO's over Nzechukwu and Jung, and he's only been stopped by strikes once despite fighting a ton of heavy hitters.

Puna vs Baeza seems like an interesting spot, Puna still cracks and Baeza is chinny so I kinda like him there.

The new gloves seem to have more padding. Reyes and Baeza chins will be alright. I think they both win their fights. They are just better BUT I wouldnt bet on Baeza because of the layoff. -160 is a joke line. It should be -110

Man...I'd be worried about Dom's chin even if he was fighting a potted plant LOL. And Jacoby isn't a massive one hit KO guy but he has power enough. He's got a couple recent KO wins...

Bruno/Stoltzfu over (if plus odds) is interesting.

Baeza and Soriano under if the odds are decent.

Taylor dec

Marquez is my top candidate for ko prop.

Cateneda and marco split dec prop if available.

Fight goes the distance for the main event.

Reyes trains with Pereira who already beat Jacoby. He is gonna do good here

Cannonier, Reyes, Moises, Soriano all good underdogs

Played a small one before the lines move

Imavov, Jacoby , Moura, Klein

50 bucks pays almost 500 and I feel good about all 4

Reese is tempting me too as he should be able to crack Marquez and not have to worry about getting taken down with this matchup style

Dom hasn't fought in a long time and was getting KO'd multiple fights in a row when he last did fight. No question he had good skills at one point. Maybe the time away was well spent and his durability has bounced back and he's sharpened thing up with his game. No way I'd have any confidence in that though.

 

[Thesnake101]

Another thing to note is that Reyes is 34 now. That's not old for LHW standards, but for a guy who was billed as an athletic specimen getting old could be a death sentence when coupled with his showing against Spann.

Marquez I like as well since Reese seems like this year's Contender Series washout, no experience and a bunch of early finishes that tell you nothing about his skills or cardio.

 

[StewDogg11]

I really like Cannonier and I like Lee in a loser leaves town match plus she’s already beaten De La Rosa although I don’t remember much about that fight.

Yea i just like the value. My last 3 UFC events have all been box office flops. So its probably best to fade my picks LOL

Dom at his best tools Jacoby. Just...will we ever see close to that Dom again? I kinda hope you're right, would be a good comeback story.

Cant imagine Imovov beating Jared. This will be another Vettori/Cannonier.

Vettori is probably better than Imavov. I remember Buckley having some success and landing clean on Imavov and rocking him back.

only path i see is Imavov using superior kicks and turning the fight into a french savate fight and winning on points, unlikely tho.

I feel the same. Gonna watch some tape and see if it backs up or disproves that theory, but currently backing Cannoneer.

Agreed. My only concern is the MCL injury, if it will affect him

 

[Guld]

Has Reyes fought since USADA stepped down? If he looks jacked on the scales I'll back him haha

 

[Stat_Collector]

maybe. depends if he recovered without any problems. But at these odds, its worth the risk.

just watch the fight and skip to round 3. Buckley took the 3rd, landed more, hit him with a knee, landed some combos, had Imavov panick wrestling. And ended with Buckley getting shots off and Imavov looked gassy.
