This has 3 big fukking fights and hopefully they deliver.

I don't know what Yair could have for Volk other than flashy shyt. Maybe he can spark him out while doing a flip!

Don't care who wins this one but my money is on Volk just outmatching him.

Co-main, again I don't care who wins I just want a show. I don't know anyone at 125 other than Moreno and Royval. So I got no idea what I'm in for. Hopefully it's something special.

And the 3rd big fight! What I, and hopefully most of y'all, are looking forward to the most. Former champ Whittaker vs The Manifestation of African Pride! The Prince of the Serengeti! The AFRO-ANGLO Assassin! Dricus du Plessis! I know who I'm rolling with! How bout y'all?

AFRICA STAND UP!
WHITE-KANDA FOREVER!

i don’t believe du plessis has been clean for any of his fights but i’m interested to see what he does for whitaker, it better be something special.

i’m surprised the over is good plus money for that fight (+140), at the very least I’m sure he can hang around.

the huge plus odds for the overs in menifeld and niko prices fights look nice too, public perception seems to be driving these lines but the public hardly gets what they want in these fights.

Scroll through to each new 5 minute mark to see picks on the right side

Not that I’m following what he’s doing but I’ll be doing something similar for this card, one or two dogs I’ll pass on without betting the favs (but maybe still finding a line within the fight), the other two favs most likely parlay (jalin & yazmin, maybe a separate play on yazmin finish, shyt maybe jalin too), the rest all dogs :hubie::mjlit:

It’s crazy how life works out. If Brady doesn’t get injured and the UFC doesn’t book Harrell for the fight he probably would have never discovered his condition. He’s a fortunate guy.

I'm expecting a lot of upsets on this card.

Yair, Pantoja and Dricus all have a realistic chance of winning imo.

Woodburn is an outsider but he still has a shot. I'd say Dan Hooker is the only one I'm not really confident in at all, but you never know.
