Was surprised at the odds. Can get $3.75 for Cub. Am i missing something here for why he is the second biggest underdog on the card
 
Moicano is really good and Cub seems to be on his way out.

Cub might be worth a punt though.
 
How is Moicanos TDD and his groundgame? There's no way that Cub beats him standing. Moicano might have the best striking in the fw division
 
Moicano is so overrated its ridiculous and Cub is not on his way out yet. Moicano just beat Kattar due to leg kicks which Cub will check no problem unlike Kattar who did nothing so why Moicano has so much hype off that idk. Before that Moicano had a close fight with Ortega striking while in comparison Cub was dominating Ortega on the feet easily. Not to mention Moicano split decisioned Stephens a guy Cub beat 49-46 comfortably. Throw in the fact that Cub has switched up his camps to train with Dillashaw and Duane Ludwig and I see him giving Moicano a hell of a fight.

In Cubs last fight it was close but he was just tentative of the takedown. His actual takedown defence was perfect and when he opened up at the end he was outstriking Frankie comfortably just too little too late. He lost mentally likely due to his previous Frankie fight not cause he isn't a great fighter.

Cub is a great bet at the price and don't be surprised if he beats Moicano relatively easily or even racks up 2-3 more wins on a final title run. Not sure why but Cubs underrated as hell, just look at the build up to his fight with Choi.
 
Moicano is going to play range game and win a boring decision. He will jab Cub all night long.

Moicano and over 2.5. Bet it.

Moicano is killer on the mat. Not as good as Ortega there but still beast
 
Fun fight and I think Moicano is going to take it, guy looks very dangerous
 
3.75 is potentially a good punt. Moicana is relatively untested to date. I put on a few dollars. Kiss of death
 
I think the odds are ridiculous and have to think Jackson will come up with the perfect gameplan and have a fighter in Cub who's strengths and weaknesses they know in and out who has the ability to implement it.

You can't look at a Jackson fighter without considering his camp and their ability to implement gameplans. Especially someone like Cub who's been there forever.

I think Cubby is up at altitude training with Bang and the Snake this time... But I don't think that subtracts... Looking forward to a new wrinkle or two and maybe some better footwork from Cubby.
 
Moicano by domination.

People are vastly underrating him. He beat Stephens, Stephens is ranked at #4 right now, Moicano somehow at #10.
Moicano's only loss is Ortega.

Rankings mean nothing
 
Moicano is the best point fighter in the UFC, IMO. Easy 30-27 win for him. Cub won't touch him.

Agreed. Cub is a guy that I think is always improving and looking to add new details to his game. He’s someone that has been around for a while, but is by no means done as an evolving fighter. A new camp would be nice to see, hopefully he implements his ground game some more.. mixing it up more regularly.. I know that’s cliche, but so many fighters get stuck fighting in one facet.. it’s nice to see guys that are always using their full skill set..
