UFC 251: Usman vs. Burns - Page 2

I bet on Andrade (+175) and Holloway (+190) I think they are very good underdog bets and I also think I will make a small bet on masvidal by KO (+300) but still thinking on that one,

This is an awesome card btw : )

Is the outdoor cage where they'll be really fighting?

They'll fight inside of the dome.

Outside is too hot.

Oh ok. it would be kinda cool to watch the fight in that cage during the Abu Dhabi sunrise tho. Enter the Dragon. Wattaaa!

Btw... Line on Masvidal dropped hard. Is that the sharps?

Masvidal looked good at the scale... In think...

Yan isn't that much taller than Aldo

Kamaru Usman (170) vs. Jorge Masvidal (170) – for welterweight title
Alexander Volkanovski (145) vs. Max Holloway (145) – for featherweight title
Petr Yan (135) vs. Jose Aldo (135) – for vacant bantamweight title
Jessica Andrade (115) vs. Rose Namajunas (116)
Amanda Ribas (126) vs. Paige VanZant (126)
Volkan Oezdemir (205.5) vs. Jiri Prochazka (205)
Muslim Salikhov (171) vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (171)
Makwan Amirkhani (146) vs. Danny Henry (146)
Roman Bogatov (155.5) vs. Leonardo Santos (156)

Raulian Paiva (129)* vs. Zhalgas Zhumagulov (126)
Vanessa Melo (141)** vs. Karol Rosa (136)

*Paiva missed the flyweight limit and will surrender 20 percent of his purse to Zhumagulov.
**Melo missed the women’s bantamweight limit and will surrender 30 percent of her purse to Rosa.

Just wondering.. What sites do you check before making predictions? I mean besides watching the events, what info could help people and what's noise?

I have watched every UFC event since December 2009. I go off of memory, and I also do tape study when I can.

Listening to UFC podcasts is also helpful, as I don't know everything about everyone. Just gotta sift through the bullshit in podcasts and find useful information when you can.

Once I go back to work in mid-August (I'm an English teacher), I won't have a lot of time to do as much tape study on many fights like I have been since the start of June 2020, which means I'll bet a lot less fights per card.

Any good podcast suggestions?

Getting back into betting some!



The odds on Usman seem pretty unreal. Feels like it should have been -400. Liking the -175 on Rose a lot as well.

Under 4.5 for Usman vs Masvidal is around -125 right now... Good value?

I'm not sure, personally I don't see it. Usman has 8/10 of his last fights end in decision and Masvidal his last 8 losses are all decisions. You would need some sort of read to bet on the under I feel and I don't have that read.

I have other bets, but they are smaller single bets and/or parlays. I'll post them if they hit. It'll take up too much room if I add pictures for everything.

My final picks:

• Usman > Masvidal
• Holloway > Volkanovski
• Aldo > Yan
• Andrade > Namajunas
• Ribas > PVZ
• Prochazka > Oezdemir
• Santos > Salikhov
• Henry > Amirkhani
• Santos > Bogatov
• Tybura > Grishin
• Paiva > Zhumagulov
• Rosa > Melo
• Day > Grant

^ ... Oooo gonna follow you on Aldo too. This will be a fun event. Still thinking if I follow the Andrade one.

It just feels like Usman is going to make sure that he finishes Masvidal earlier than he did Covington... Dunno.

Go Tybura!!

They're both tired. Lol.
