Skip My Posts posted:rory would beat tyron down again Maybe, but Tyron has improved a bit since then, and Rory has taken a staggering amount of damage between the Lawler, Thompson, and Lima fights. But yeah Rory is pretty much the blueprint for how to beat Tyron - good enough wrestling to make it so that Tyron can't easily outwrestle him, good outside striking, and good cardio. Psychotic fearlessness helps too.

Dave Branch typically has some of the worst, most boring fights you can find, but he has also produced some of the most devestating finishes I've ever seen, including slams and big one punch KOs. Jack Hermansson is tough as gently caress and a good finisher. He seperated a rib in round 1 of one fight and then won by submission in round 2. He's mostly a grappler, though Dave Branch is also a highly respected grappleman from an elite grappleteam.

Don't bet on Bethe. Aldana is a competent enough boxer that she should be able to win three rounds with just her jab against Bethe's haymakers..

Arnie Allen is also on a 5-fight winning streak in a deep division. Gil is a big experience step up for Allen, but Gil is also an underdog for a reason. Also consider that Gil's last win was 6 years ago, before Allen made his UFC debut.

jase1 posted:1k on Izzy to win by Ko Tko or sub at +150 I like your izzy bet but not your Blachowitz bet. He has fought a lower tier of opponents than Reyes, and three of his last four opponents were bloated middleweights, two in their "pls retire " phase of their career. The last time he fought a championship-level light heavyweight (if we can call Santos that) he got KOed. Meanwhile, even though Reyes has one such win vs Weidman, he also has wins over two light heavyweight title challengers and he arguably beat Jon Jones. I don't think I'd start looking at Jan as a value bet until he was better than +350. We'll see though. If I were confident I'd be betting myself.

Brut posted:I'm willing to listen if you make a strong case for this (or obtain some consensus) but I feel like you're better off creating a parallel thread in PITR, it's okay if both forums have similar threads. The best case to make is that if this thread stays as a single thread, the discussion will be in one place, and if it gets moved to PITR it will be more likely to be seen by non-mma posters, who will then come and post in the mma threads maybe sometimes.

Horse Inspector posted:There looks like a tonne a good value can be found on this card. I'm interested to know if you had to pick one underdog from it, which would you take? Tucker and Anders aren't the longest odds but look like the best value to me in that I think they both stand a really good chance of winning. In the monthly thread we were discussing how Rafa Garcia is an interesting underdog, but that bet has all of the risks of a guy making the jump to the big leagues. TL;DR though he's a Mexican fighter (i.e. probably has good hands) who is an undefeated Combate Americas champion (has gone 5 full rounds) fighting a guy who has been KOed on the feet, and he has fought UFC vets. Apparently he also has an iron chin.

Marching Powder posted:Why is Ben Askren such a massive underdog against Jake Paul? Ben is not a high level striker but he has done thousands of hours of ring time with dozens of guys that would effortlessly beat the poo poo out of Jake Paul. Because his hips are so bad that he was scheduled to have a hip replacement

Hey just chiming in here because I went and looked at the odds: If Julianna Pena wins tomorrow it would be the biggest upset in UFC title history, and maybe in all of MMA history, and I'm including stuff like Silva-Takase here. The best line I'm seeing for her is +800, and imo that's nowhere near enough payout. She is 2-2 in her last 2 with embarrassing submission losses to strikers and her opponents that she beat in that frame were not good opponents. She has never KOed an opponent standing, or even hurt one as I recall, so she doesn't even have the so-called puncher's chance. Speaking as the guy who does fight breakdowns, and knowing how some goons like to bet for fun, I'd like to caution anyone against putting long shot bets on her for shits and giggles until we start seeing the kinds of odds you'd expect for picking a team that, idk, missed the playoffs this year to win the 2022 world series or something. (I probably just cursed Nunes, but there it is).

Brut posted:Are the odds on Strickland vs Pereira kind of bullshit? The man has 6 MMA fights, having it as a coinflip doesn't make sense to me. The theory is that Pereira is a literal elite kickboxer and Strickland doesn't wrestle often (he's the top middleweight who is least likely to shoot) and defends strikes by moving backward on a straight line.
