5 rounds and both have power ….. no money lines here …. Take one to finish for much better value
Don't hate that philosophy at all. I agree, itd seems likely.

I’ve gone back and fourth in the Dms with a few people on Jenkins.First look of the lines and some things that stick out to me are Jack Jenkins, Neil Magny, Bruno Silva KO/TKO if a good price, Gillian Robertson, Emmett/Topuria U1.5/2.5 if a good price.

I honestly thought he looked terrible in his last fight against Don Shainis.
He got mounted and got his back taken by a slow lethargic regional fighter.
Emmers had a robbery loss to Giga, dropped Sabatini and was winning until he got leg locked( would likely win a rematch.)
as he mounted Sabatini.
And his last win against 23-0 russian fighter.
I see Emmers having faster reaction time, better teep kicks from range, and better at ducking punches.
I can’t see Jenkins catching him, Or even controlling him long enough to win. what is the path for Jenkins here? He’s let a few low levels go the distance. He can’t possibly stop Emmers.
yeah his contenders fight wasn’t that great either. it was almost a decision and i had him in a ko prop. i remember feeling pissed off the whole fight and sweating because i thought he would steamroll. he just puts on mid performances.I feel like Jenkins is a bit overhyped. If Emmers fights to his full capabilities he could really give Jenkins a vet lesson. I thought the last outing was pretty poor given the calibre of opponent
How different in terms of skill is Bruno from Strickland and Curtis?I think Brendan Allen has turned a corner and become a trustworthy guy. There's nowhere he's overmatched. He mixes up his game well. Seems to have found that groove that elite guys find where they are always comfortable regardless of where the fight goes.
I think he likely pushes grappling more here and wears Sliva out.

Id say Bruno hits slightly harder but maybe not as competent on the ground.
I just see it as a passable fight. Allen sub has value but it’s probably not going to be over 200+
Dangerous for me because of Bruno’s heavy hands and Allens’ chin. i haven’t taped deep enough but that is what i see first glance.
Bet365 has him @+300 right now, I took that for half a unit. Not the most confident play, but the hype around Taira is overblown in my opinion. He is good, but not sure he is that good and Kleydson is no joke.
Great play on the opener.
Tafa at almost -200 is crazy to me. This guy lost to Carlos Filipe and Vanderaa not long ago. How can anyone bet him at this price?
Austen Lane could get KOd in the first the way he fights, but if this goes past round 1 I don't trust Tafa at all. This line doesn't make sense to me at all. Maybe there is actually value on Lane here... not sure.
Lane's a glass cannon and he likes to exchange, I don't see him getting out of the first.
Then bet KO R1 or KO R1/R2... the money line is too wide imo. Lane for sure has a path to victory in this fight. If he gets the wrestling going then this fight could be a boring snooze fest with Lane cage stalling and laying on top of Tafa for three rounds.
He has that avenue of victory but I'm having trouble seeing him walking through the fire to get there. Not a big tafa fan but I feel like this is a good spot for him to let his hands go. From the information available I'd be very wary trusting lanes durabilityThen bet KO R1 or KO R1/R2... the money line is too wide imo. Lane for sure has a path to victory in this fight.
