@Brooklynzson

can we get some odds? those two have gone

edit - my bad its on tomorrow. thought it was tonight

 

[The Infamous]

The odds are a bit too lop-sided IMO. Jones will very likely win, but at -1100 on some sites, that's too steep.

Jones
Barao
Schaub (Hope Meathead knocks his head off but he'll most likely wrestle his way to a decision)
Costas
Healy

 

[Lavish]

[The Infamous]

Quick Predictions:

- Jones vs Gustaffson (Gus gets taken down and eventually subbed)
- Barao vs Wineland (Wineland is tough and has power, but Barao is the better fighter [standing and on the ground]. Barao via sub.)
- Mitrione vs Schaub (Meathead will stuff Schaub's TDs and TKO him.)
- Carmont vs Philippou (Carmont is on a two-fight robbery spree Tonight, his 'win' streak will end. Philippou avoids his ground game and takes the decision win.)
- Healy vs Nurmagomedov (Toss-up fight, I think either fighter is capable of winning. The odds are a little off IMO [Khabib is a -230 favorite] some money could be made on Healy. I think Healy takes it via being the more proven/experienced fighter.

Hopefully, I'm pulling for the Mauler.
