Haha, we’ll see, I don’t want to put her on the spot, but maybe off the record :p

Don’t worry I will be insisting that we get more non-UFC slates at the live final!

Diaz is a borderline back end of the top 10 LW who had Connor tapping once and Connor winning a close D the 2nd time. Connor got a flash KO over Aldo and was in trouble against short notice Mendes, before Mendez gassed out. I would argue that Connor’s best win was against Dustin Poirier, who has since been exposed by Michael Johnson. Connor has great movement and good striking, but hasn’t proven that he hits hard enough above FW to put anyone away. Alvarez is superior in all other aspects of MMA. With that said, while I like Alvarez to win, I am using Connor liberally in my DK lineups

im really torn on cerrone. i keep putting him in every lineup. he can just do it all and get all the points no matter how he wins

Any stock in Gastelum and Thiago Alves not making weight ?

Edit: NVM the Cerrone fight is off . Gastelum is a punk for that ….messing up my lineup man smh

Gastelum never even showed up to the weigh in the fight is canceled. The UFC really needs to start sending a serious message to these fighters not even trying to make weight…

Bummer I was on the complete Cowboy fade.

Cowboy fights too much anyway

I am so freaking stoked for this card. Like shit it’s going to be like Christmas whether I make money or not.

Didn’t know you trained out of 10P San Diego, rolling with Geo/Boogie seems like it would be a blast. Those dudes got their BB in like 4 years right?

I haven’t in a couple months but yeah those dudes are legit freaks haha. Geo actually runs a gym up north in Vista, which is closer to me now, so once my real job slows down, I’ll be hitting up that gym. Carmouche works the front desk in 10pSD, tho.

Been reviewing a lot of Wonderboy fights.
Great technique no doubt, but he hasn’t faced a fighter like Tyron. That dude is explosive. Idk he just doesn’t jump out and scream KO to me. If he didn’t have the size advantage I’d go all Woodley.

But he does and that makes this shit real difficult. Should be a good fight.

If woodley can’t get inside for his counter he’s in trouble. Rory dominated him and Thompson is bigger and uses range better. Other than a flash ko this is Thompsons fight

I really like gastelum at his price and him not making weight screwed me

My guess is that in cash games Joanna is 70% owned and in tournaments 50%. But I don’t see any options but to play her since this is a great matchup for her

Too say Conor is not elite is wrong. I personally feel this is a great matchup for him because of his quickness and accuracy. I’m not big on Eddie, cowboy dominated him, he won a controversial decision of Gilbert in an awful fight, I thought Pettis who looked awful still won that fight and he caught rdA. I also think that Diaz dominated Eddie

is stacking fights a good idea in gpps?

Woodley or Romero for GPP?

It’s situational, I have some JJ/KK exposure in the hopes that they just stand and bang for 5 full rounds. The output of SS in that fight could end up ridiculous if JJ doesn’t put her away early.

I think they both get tooled tonight, but I’d take Woodley for the flash KO upside. Romero is incredibly overrated imo.

anybody know when the gotham satellite tickets are available

Nobody is taking this belt off of Woodley ….I’m literally 95% on Woodley

Generallly no unless all the dogs pretty much tank and your stack is a fight where the losing fighter scored more than all the losing dogs, or opened up some salary for a finisher on a card where not people finished!! DO NOT stack any fights in gpp’s this weekend as there is all kinds of value at the bottom
