To a casual mma fan none of this means anything to me. He is just a fun guy to watch lose as far as I'm concerned.

The odds will always be more in Travis Browne's favor than they should be, so you should continue to bet against him before he washes out of the UFC.

the early line on bisping / whittaker has bisping at nearly 3:1 underdog which is a good bet imo

So what's the consensus on the Jon Jones fight? I'm for sure betting putting money on Lawler and might bet on the chick facing cyborg just because the odds are so tasty but my gut tells me to bet on jones but my hate for him makes me want to bet on Cormier

Jones is obviously super great, but he's had one fight (?) post-USADA and looked like poo poo in it, and that's been his only fight in the last 2+ years. But he beat DC pretty clean last time, has a crazy reach advantage, and DC has only gotten older. i think Jones takes it 3 out of 4 times, but my gut says DC and I'd like that to happen, so this post is probably not very helpful.

if i bet, i would probably put money on DC anywhere up to like +200, but that's stretching it a ton given what I think is going to happen. a lot of betting sides are offering around there. what's your bookie giving you?

i believe dc will probably win .. jones' explaination for his last performance where he looked very uncoordinated and slow was a long layoff of about a year or so. but he's had an even longer layoff going into this fight. and dc is a lot better than ovince st preux, plus he was landing a lot of hard shots in their first fight despite his short reach so it wasnt so one sided as people may think

It's not massively stupid because they're both getting up there in age and have been fighting forever. They both have a ton of wear on them and Cerrone had to pull out for some injuries so who knows how bad it was and how well it healed. Anyway, as far as betting on MMA goes, that's about in the middle so you're good.

Lawler hasn't fought since getting knocked out by Woodley a year ago and had a bunch of insane wars before that. It is possible that he is shot.

I'm only betting on Lawyer because he has won me a shitload of money so it's not real sound betting advice. Then again nothing I bet on in MMA is based on smart thinking it's all a crapshoot.

Pretty sage advice to bet against the public on most things. I had a really good track record of looking for games where 80+% of the money was on one side and betting the opposite.
