I can't remember a card when there was so little between the fighters in the eyes of the bookies. The biggest favouirte on the card is 3/1, then you've got:



So many great matchups.

Big value there in Maia, Edgar and Alvarez I feel. Poirier and Masvidal both coming off wins but Maia and Alvarez are in the top 3/4 of their divisions.

Edgar won't be finished and hard to see Yair out pointing him over 3 rounds, I make Edgar a 1/3 shot at least. He won't be afraid to take a few hits to close the distance and once he has that done, he should win.

Gamebred

Maia will have serious size advantage, original 185er he will be the biggest Masvidal has fought and strongest, cannot wait for that and Dustin Alvarez match up, that could be a madness if Alvarez doesnt try wrestle much.

Gamebred

Yair towering over Frankie.

Django99

Yeah Alvarez at a crossroads, the cautious approach got him a title shot but he was completely outclassed when it came to it. If he goes back to brawling it will at least gain him a few fans.

He may not want to go to ground with Poirier who could be dangerous with a submission.

Got him a title shot, which he took by absolutely annihilating RDA... You realise McGregor was the challenger in November, yes?

Polo Reyes-Vick hopefully a great scrap.

Jesus, i actually completely forgot the RDA fight happened. And I actually forgot that Eddie was the champ for 4 months. McGregor really made it hell for him I suppose.

Frankie, Maia and Joanna treble looks good to me.

Main event is hard to call, just watched the first one again today. Was a great fight, one of the best heavyweight fights I can remember. Hope JDS gets it done but I don't mind Stipe either.

Ultimate Seduction

Twenty Euros on Dos Santos, Maia, Yair, and Alvarez wins me 320 Euros. No such thing as a certainty in MMA but this is as close as one you will ever see.

A lot of people going for Stipe by KO. Neither of them could KO each other last time and I think this will once again be a 5 round war. Stipe's cardio is what lost it for him in the first fight, hoping his tank lasts a bit longer for this one.

Cejudo vs. Pettis is off. Hand injury for Henry.

If this is the only hit the card takes, that's a very good result.

Didnt think JDS was younger than Stipe, card is due some injuries any day now.

You're getting the blame for this!

I know BJ Penn wasn't anywhere near his best but Yair looked like a future champ that night

I don't think anybody other than the absolute elite beating Edgar is remotely close to a certainty. Yair isn't that yet.

Not fight week if we dont lose a good fight, will lose at least 1 more too mma gods love to take, first 4 fights on the card are complete muck hopefully its one of them.

Yair will keep Frankie at distance for 3 rounds using his amazing kicks. He's huge compared to Frankie too who is on the decline imo

Potentially but Edgar is well used to fighting with bigger, stronger guys as he's been doing it his whole career. He doesn't have the kicking repertoire of Yair but Stephens is a big, dangerous featherweight and Edgar beat him pretty handily.

Prayin for all the fighters to make it through the week.

Jesus .... Maia made Masvidal look like a Featherweight. He's huge next to him.

Miocic via Submission

That's where I believe in the Brazilian's victory. Masvidal will end up accepting Demian Maia's gameplan and will be finalized. I do not see Masvidal running away from the grid, or running from the clinch attempts, or trying to get up when he's on the ground. I see the American pounding even when the situation is bad for him. Only now he's facing Demian Maia. The Brazilian has not lost any chance to finish his opponents.

In my opinion, it is very likely that Maia ends up winning by submission. Even if it's only three rounds, at some point Masvidal will make a mistake. If the Brazilian fails in their takedown attempts, he would still be able to score better in the first two rounds for controlling the fight.

Criminal that for a guy with the career Alvarez has had. Can't believe he's the underdog in this one I think he'll blow Dustin away.

Call Me Jimmy

I don't get why dustin is the favourite here at all, yea maybe we'll see how eddie bounces back from the loss to conor but I havent been overly impressed with pourier, I dont think he would have defeated rda.

Paully D

I agree with Poirer being a slight favourite over Alvarez. I'm very surprised that Maia isn't favoured over Masvidal however.

Pretend weigh-ins on now.
