    It's 13/1 for McGregor to win by submission (not specified). Nowhere (yet) has anything up for specifics.

    Are you leaning towards a guillotine from clinch?

    The submission win is available as high as 20/1.
    I've seen specific for sub type, but not for individual fighters yet. Worth a bet request I suppose.

    Also, ;)

    I was hoping to combine McGregor Round 1 with a Triangle for a cheeky 1 pound but it wouldn't let me combine those two. :(
    Can't double up as related bets.


    I noticed BV were doing sub types on oddschecker, but they have both fighter grouped together.

    Any to win by sub is 3.5/1, jumping to 16/1 for a triangle, 8/1 for a RNC.
    Conor on his own is 16/1 so you've have to guess he's be around 64/1 for a triangle, and 32/1 for even the shortest.

    McGregor by sub is 13\1 and Alvarez by sub is 4\1. As mellor iirc said, Alvarez has been very very vocal about what needs to be done to beat Conor, in his opinion. This fight will be played out like the Mendes fight I think. I'm going to back Conor by sub and a small stake on Conor by sub in the 3rd at 55\1.

    I just have the feeling this will be the fight he shows off his bjj skills.

    McGregor by sub? Did someone just say that? I'll have what you're smoking.

    Believing a bet represents value doesn't mean you believe it's likely to happen.

    Apart from dillon who else is top class he's rolling with?

    I noticed paddy, kiefer in that video.

    So John and dillon are the only 2 black belts I noticed?

    Richie Smullen was rolling with Dillon anyway, no idea about with Conor.

    I'm sure he's getting great grappling rounds in with Sergey, Dillon, Kiefer and the rest of them.

    Dillon, John, Roddy are all black belts.

    Anyway you can hardly go wrong with Dillon as a training partner for the ground stuff :pac: I'd say Coach K has mapped out a few ideas should Conor be jumping into Eddies guard or vice versa and had Dillon drilling them with him.

    looking at eddie V cerrone and RDA, he threw the kitchen sink at them before they were close to goin down and still they remained on the feet.
    I don't think his hands are half as heavy as he thinks. If he catches McGregor at all, he should spin back out cos there's a counter with his name on it, similar to the shots that put a 190lb diaz on his arse and a 10 yr champ in the has been books!

    It's great to see someone else is thinking a McG submission is worth a punt :-)

    Alvarez has decent leg kicks, does anyone think he will use them as an initial game plan or plan B? Or would they be too risky with McGs range?

    I think you are all underestimating Alvarez. He destroyed RDA.

    At a time RDA was off the jungle juice though.

    Probably not given his career trajectory

    Yeah, there's not much to suggest RDA was juicing. He destroyed Corrine post usada and was out striking Eddie, he got caught with a nice shot and couldn't recover. Unfair accusation but everyone seems to accuse him.

    It is suspicious to be a 20-7 solid, journeyman pro and then become a wrecking ball after your 30th birthday.

    It MAY be simply down to a change in camps, better training partners etc. But it always has a feel of the improvements Michelle Smith and Lance Armstrong made.

    Innocent until proven guilty though, so he gets my benefit of doubt.

    He would have been a harder fight for Conor than Alvarez is.

    True, but Cerrone has a stupidly strong chin. He couldn't ko RDA but made him do the chicken dance with the right hook. He has decent power.

    But yeah, if they trade haymakers you'd obviously favour Conor.

    The same can be said of Robbie Lawlor too I suppose?

    Why can't fighters peak at different times? I know MMA has a history of drug abuse and so on, but given Usada is in play do the fighters not get the benefit of the doubt?

    RDA also had his jaw broken before so I'd have thought he'd have a very suspect chin after that, yet Eddie just about beat him. He was rapidly running out of steam by the end of that flurry.

    He has power no doubt but not as much as he thinks.
    But then again I don't think he's stupid enough to try trade with Conor so he'll most likely just spam takedowns/clinch

    Without doubt. Both train in the designer steroid capital of the world too.

    Imo the affects of USADA are only starting to show now. Obviously older guys like Belfort will decline quicker but the TRT ban came into effect before USADA.

    The benefit of roids can be maintained for well over a year if you are training smartly.

    It's suspicious but why would you wait until 27 fights into your career to start juicing?

    Just took a look at his record there and the whole 20-7 record doesnt paint the full picture. He had a few streaks before that too.

    not making any accusations here, although I do have my suspicions, but the rda that fought cowboy and the rda that fought eddie were two different fighters, his head didnt seem right atal in the run up

    Well he had gone from a "red panty night" fight with McGregor to being relegated to a fight night on a Thursday evening!
