Roop/Kingsbury/Herman/Guida parlay pays out for me after having a big losing streak.

I've got a Boetsch/Diaz/Kos/Jones parlay that will be ruined when Jones slips on some sweat and knocks himself out in the 1st round.

I'm running a Volkman-Castillo-Hendricks-Cerrone parlay that's still alive. I've also slightly hedged the bet with a bet on Diaz since the odds are so wide on that fight.

I actually won money by overbetting on Diaz, but on the otherhand, Cerrone you're a loving stupid rear end in a top hat.

In non-plastic belt betting news, Michael Johnson is +190 despite the very real fact that Shane Roller's striking is putrid and his MMA wrestling isn't developed yet. Do the smart thing and bet all your money on Johnson.

Roop moved from +120 to -130 overnight.

Maia hosed up my parlay. I picked him because I expected Weidman to look like poo poo in the late rounds after cutting 32lbs in 11 days. Serves me right to root for a Brazilian.

The only decent bet on this card is Figueroa at -130. He had an amazing fight with McDonald on very short notice and embarrassed Reinhardt (such great heights) whereas Bruce Leroy has only looked good in his strength (striking) against Cole Escovedo, who sucks. 6 days notice and cut 20lbs and held his own against a real prospect in McDonald, compared to some dude who's only in the UFC because he's relatively charismatic in a shallow division. Do the smart thing and bet your life savings on Figueroa. All the other odds on the card are pinpoint. Really well matched card.

Figueroa has no balls or ground skills but I deserve every dollar that I made off of him.

I put money on Herman at -120 but it should be a stay away/low bet fight due to the circumstances. I'm just a degenerate.

As far as underdogs are concerned I'm light on Lauzon and betting decently on Hunt straight up. Something in my mind says that Hunt can exploit Kongo's bad stand up defense in between cage clinching and shorts pulling. I was also tempted to bet on Akiyama because Shields has the worst looking stand up this side of Mayhem, but I think he'll be able to take Akiyama down, especially after round 1 when Akiyama will be gassed to poo poo. My Frankie/Rampage/Shields/Hunt/Zhang parlay cannot fail and will make me very rich.

McCall has very, very good footwork and boxing (in addition to being really well rounded in general). Mighty Mouse is probably slighlty faster than him and, from what I've seen, has better wrestling and top control. That said, Mighty Mouse might not have the speed to stifle Uncle Creepy's standup like he was able to against Cruz. I'm picking MM to win but I wouldn't bet on it straight up. It's a stayaway for me.

iLikeMidgets posted:Frank Mir is +275 against Cormier. I'm really tempted to put a few dollars on this. Can anyone convince me otherwise? Cormier is a far superior wrestler, is faster, and has more fluid footwork. He also hits pretty hard and has really solid striking technique. You'd have to bet on Mir knocking down Cormier because he isn't likely to get a takedown. The fight is gonna look like Cormier vs Bigfoot.

MacDeuce posted:Mir's boxing isn't horrible by heaveyweight standards and Cormier's hands only looked good against Bigfoot iirc. He also has a tendency to break his hands pretty often. Cormier outclassed Barnett on the feet with movement and speed. Barnett has really solid boxing too.
