Umar is a -300 favorite over Merab

[ChessJitsu]

On the day they fight, Umar will hit 29 (athletic prime for lower weight classes) and Merab will hit 34 (end of career for lower weight classes).

I want to put my first bet on a parlay for Umar & Makachev.

But why? at +300 you shouldn't want to touch umar as a favourite

Umar and Islam odds aren't that good, probably should just bet On Jamahal hill since he has a good chance of chinning Jiri, might also bet on Dariush, Moicano is pillowfisted so maybe Dariush can pull something off like he did against gamrot

Even if that bet would win, it's still an awful bet. Umar at +300 is ridiculous.

Lmao. Yes there's actually great value in having Merab and Arman in your bets because they have no business being that big of underdogs in their fights. Especially Arman.

Suprised not higher odds, I've never seen a champ try and maneuver around the only real challenger since GDR. I expect Umar to dominate every round.

I look at it like this, 100 dollars on Umar and Islam net 166 dollars return

10 dollars bet on Merab and Armen net 139 dollars.


15 dollars on merab/armen to return 210 dollars is a much better value bet than 100 dollars on Umar and Islam to return 166. It's actually insane the odds are that wide.

Dariush as a +190 outsider vs a fighter with limited power seems like a good line

Not sure why Merab is that big of an underdog. If people can't see him wrestling three rounds as the champ then I don't know what to tell you. Umar is not that much better then him. No way he is a 3 to 1 favorite. If they fight 3 times I guarantee you he doesn't win 3 times.

Seems about right

From a match maker perspective, Umar trains day in day out these Dags are raised on perfection, Umar can probably match the pace of Merab or at least have good enough cardio to keep up, Umar is a really good striker for a weather Merab has pretty bad standup and has been rocked twice because of mistakes on the feet, submissions same as my write up for staking, wrestling is even steven they are both gold medalist in combat salvo
