Normally I'd say on a high demand card that going somewhere just for the main card it would be swamped with people, but everyone I've talked to says screw it, too early so your chances are good. Unfortunately I don't know my schedule until tomorrow early AM, but if I can make it I'll wear a bright red UFC tshirt and white tennis shoes - easy to spot. I agree, it will be awesome.
In case I miss out I won't be looking here until I watch replays.

Anyone expect a win for O'Malley? Seems like a big challenge fighting Yan..

O'Malley is an incredibly gifted fighter, but I'm kind of hoping he'll lose this one. He's 15-1-0 and is the underdog. I'm amazed he's 5'11" tall and weighing in at 135lbs. 72" reach!

 

[Burt Gummer]

O'Malley was an almost +300 dog when the fight was announced. The odds for him would make more sense at +180 or so.
Just looked, he is +230.

I find it unlikely that a suburban red haired goofy stick figure like Sean is going to beat a hardened Russian fighter. Looking forward to that one regardless. Would expect Petr to go right for Sean's legs. Petr coming out to Nazareth - Expect No Mercy would be glorious.

Time will tell if it's all hype or not. Yan is on a much higher level than O'Malley's previous opponents.

What kind of psychedelic porridge were the judges eating during the Yan vs. O'Malley fight?

 

[Burt Gummer]

Finally got up early to watch them. Yes, amazed at that, but the fight was too close for me to call it a robbery. Still not a Sean fan but he did much better than I thought he would.

Bummed that Olivier lost, but no disputing that one.

Only 1-2 fights I care about next weekend including Katter/Allen.

Was the Beaverton venue fun?

I just streamed it at home as per usual.

About the Sean win, I've said this before ......

If all things are equal, bet on the fighter the UFC wants to see win. The judges are UFC contracted deciders. Of course they will favor the fighter their boss wants to win.

 

[Burt Gummer]

TJ didn't work out well for Dana however. Sterling is a dick. Fights a guy with a dislocated shoulder and then struts around like a rooster. No shame. I get it, he is paid to fight no matter what but don't act like it was some great performance. He probably made $500k to literally beat up on a cripple.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Oh man! Finally a UFC fight I can get truly excited about! Not until March though . "Kumshot" is going to wreck Colby. Funny cause all the trash talk in going to be next level.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Headed out, forgot to do my usual DK/UFC times/lineup post. Not bad for 'free' fights today.



Cheering for Allen. Can't believe Chase Hooper is -300. Proof you can't judge a book by its cover. His physique is like a 13 year old.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Silva did great for not being a boxer and almost 50 - if Jake ever fights a ranked pro boxer his own age and weight he is screwed.

Maybe, but it'll never happen. He's cashing too big of checks doing "exhibitions".

That said, the dude is obviously super athletic and obviously trains a ton. I don't see why he couldn't be somewhat competitive against other boxers.

Matt Frevola vs Ottman Azaitar

Ottman is the underdog at +110 on Draftkings. He should be -130 at least. Very good value bet.

At least Izzy will not be able to make his fight with Alex 'boring'. Alex - who I called "Tuco's Third Cousin" - is one tough dude.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Got Otto at +110 three days ago on DK. Now -110 pick 'em. The BULLDOZER should change his name to the HONEY BADGER cause that is how he fights. Expect a KO within two rounds, but bet ML

 

[Burt Gummer]

Saturday is going to be awesome! Anyone else exciting for this card? AAA+++

 

[Burt Gummer]

Ottman you potato-smuggling loser! Cost me $100. Hahaha. Oh well.

Edit --
I won't underestimate Izzy .... starts in 15min! Wowza ..... Alex is like Tuco's third Cousin on Breaking Bad.

ESPN overlay of IP address and Host - Geez as if having to watch commercials while paying $74 wasn't enough.
