If thats the case then that might be even more of a concern, assuming he was up 2-0 wasnt even close to being a sure thingThink he knew he was up and coasted

My meme pry isn’t great but I did bet moicano dec and thought he easily won the first two rds. Stephens is dangerous and I think he minimized riskIf thats the case then that might be even more of a concern, assuming he was up 2-0 wasnt even close to being a sure thing
Anybody else like Assuncao at almost +200?
Surprised nobody is really mentioning this considering the fact that he beat Moraes

Making fun of Oliynik huh. I'm not betting Albini, but that's not the reason.Nurmagomedov getting extra points on his betting line cause of Khabib again. Shouldn't have been favored or won against scoggins and shouldn't have opened one here. Would have played Ramos opener had I been faster on the trigger.
Surprised Baby Albini wasnt cut after getting embarrassed as a big fav against Arlo and Zeke choked by an old man lol. Will look to see if hes fade material here or not.
Frota is a good dog play. Good striking and just as good bjj creds. Probably on peds too.
Perez is a fool and Hernandez seems legit.
I really like Borella and Thiago Alves, both are coming of decision losses they should probably of won so are getting underrated badly.Otherwise, where is the value on this card?

Santos seems like an absolute can crusher while Borella had a coin flip fight with the no.3 girl in the division and looks great training out of ATT. Seems the fact she is relatively unknown coming off a loss facing a 16-0 fighter is all people looked at when making the odds.
Alves too looked against Kunchenko and a lot thought he won the first 2 rounds. He's just a fundamentally very sound fighter with solid Muay Thai taking on Griffin who is hyped now after narrowly beating the worst version of Perry we'd ever seen and looked pretty underwhelming elsewhere imo. He hits hard and is younger but at around +200 I think Alves is solid I think he should probably win a decision.
Lmao I respect it. Yea i had moicano in that one too but was not confident at all when it was revealed to be a split decisionMy meme pry isn’t great but I did bet moicano dec and thought he easily won the first two rds. Stephens is dangerous and I think he minimized risk
Griffin has half decent striking but I don't see much else that impresses me. We've seen him hurt in every UFC fight except his 54 second KO win, his TDD has looked pretty weak so I wouldn't be surprised if Alves wins rounds with a takedown or two. His cardio hasn't looked great and we've seen him slow as early as the second round and he looks to especially fade if he has to wrestle. On a technical level he likes to bounce in and out a lot going heavy on his lead leg and Alves has great leg kicks to chop that down so if it goes to the third round I expect Griffin to be pretty hittable with his cardio and leg damaged.Have you taped Alves/Griffin yet? Only watched Kunchenko fight thus far. Leaning an Alves play as well, but Kunchenko was very low volume there. I want to see if being technical alone will give Griffin enough problems to lose a decision.
My main concern is Alves' cardio lately. Griffin sets a solid pace on the feet, and Alves just seems to decline.Griffin has half decent striking but I don't see much else that impresses me.

My biggest concern is he does hit hard and Alves is older, but I don't think it's a huge issue. We've seen Alves hurt more as he aged but only by big shots from Millender and Condit where he struggled with the range a lot so I think he is more than likely fine here. Ideally I hope Alves just tries to grapple with him early and spam leg kicks to slow him down then likely cruise to a decision or possible late TKO.
I've got 2u on Alves at +200 and cap him around -150. Just too many holes in Griffins game for a smart veteran like Alves to miss.

So I kind of like this Borella chick lol
I scored the first one for Marlon so I’m looking at this rematch as though Moraes won the fight myself. Obviously with close rounds you always need to be concerned that judges will score it “wrong”, especially when it has already happened once in the past, but I’m pretty confident that Moraes gets the win this time.
I was a little worried about that but after seeing Griffin slow in his fights and Alves stay composed and look good in the third against Cote I'm not too worried. I think that the gameplan will also work great against Griffin too with Alves ability to hit takedowns if necessary.My main concern is Alves' cardio lately. Griffin sets a solid pace on the feet, and Alves just seems to decline.
Though I am still mildly butthurt about losing my Alves ML play against Kunchenko.
