Has anyoone checked odds for July 11th and UFC 251 fight Island Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns?
Temping to make a bet on Kamaru win the fight, as well as Holloway against Volkanovski.
Even champ Khabib Nurmagomedov agrees with me Smiley
I am also going with Kamaru Usman to retain his belt but it will be a great battle because of his wrestling credentials and Glibert Burns for his ground and submission skills but i think Kamaru usman is a bit stronger and could out perform him but in the case of Max Holloway not sure how he will rectify the flaws he had in the first fight and Volkanovski is a tough fight and over 2.5 rounds will be a good bet.

It's from one of the Rent Free MMA guys.  He makes decent picks.  He also had Erosa to win.  Lol.
I messed up big time in three of my parlay in this fight card by adding Luis Peña and Sean Woodson in all the parlay and both of them lost by submission. It was a really great fight card with 6 stoppage victories and the main card was incredible and i assume you went for over in Dustin Poirier   v Dan Hooker and Mike Perry v Mickey Gall but i was not expecting the Mike Perry fight to go the distance and it was a great pick.

this could be the fight of the year.
We had some great fights this year and Dan Hooker was involved in two fights and his fight against Felder was also great and this fight against Poirier is another contender and my other picks are Ferguson and Gaethje, Zhang and Jędrzejczyk.

Some fans are saying that Hooker should be the winner but I barely agree because Porier is always on the offensive mode and got guillotine and arm bar attempts as well. Maybe the opposite happened if Hooker finished him on round 2 Cheesy.
The first two rounds was madness and the number of strikes landed is really huge and then they could not maintain that kind of crazy pace for the last three rounds and it was incredible to see Dustin Poirier edging in the third round and then the last two rounds belong to Dustin Poirier and i did not expect the fight to be this crazy and after seeing the first two rounds i thought Poirier would loose and this could be the fight of the year.

^  No way Hooker won.  He was already half way of giving up towards the end of the fifth imo.  Kinda like his bout vs Barboza.

^  Lawl.  I head that from Rent Free MMA.  Cheesy

Anyway here's the vid.  There's not much info in this one tho.

Rent Free MMA:  Poirier vs Hooker Breakdown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amOkmlzhVx8

Nope.  Not much advice from me except the over 2.5 rounds.  Even Rent Free MMA doesn't have a serious pick except for Poirier ML which the Puertorican already made last week at the good price at 1.59ish.  Let's wait for JanpriX's picks.  Smiley

~snipped~

I did decide to gamble small on Poirier to win at round 4 at 11.41, at round 5 at 14.11 and by decision at 3.64 since he's so confident.  Smiley

What do you guys think about the over 1.5 at 2.06 for Perry vs Gall?  Gall's mostly a wrestler, BBJ guy.  So he could prolly hold Perry off for a couple of rounds...

Hey, great win on your betslip. I only got a very short card in the last event. 2 bets only and went 1-1 with it though I bet bigger units on the winning fight.  Grin Hope you followed it and read the rationale of those picks.

So the next event to look out for will be in 2 weeks - UFC 251. Any early favorites on the main card?

Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker was a great fight and the first two rounds Dan Hooker took the fight to Dustin Poirier and the second round was really awesome.
It was a great fight indeed. What a slug fest! The match was so close (very obvious with the score cards lol). Hooker got the first 2 rounds and I thought he will dominate all throughout the fight but the tables have turned. Porier take his revenge especially the 4th and 5th round (IMO). Some fans are saying that Hooker should be the winner but I barely agree because Porier is always on the offensive mode and got guillotine and arm bar attempts as well. Maybe the opposite happened if Hooker finished him on round 2 Cheesy.

Tony challenged Conor in his twitter and I think that would be far more interesting than Dustin vs Tony or Conor.
Even though, Dustin has more chances agains Tony than vs Conor. And Conor will be more interested to fight Tony than Dustin.
I'm quite confident Tony wouldn't mind fighting Dustin especially after this fight.

For Conor, he's more interested on who's going to be the bigger draw that will bring in more PPVs. I don't know if Tony still has that appeal after losing badly to Justin. He might need one convincing win before Conor faces him.

Poirier vs. hooker was lit!

That round 2 exchanges seems like the entire five rounds to me. Hard to believe both were still standing after trading clean punches throughout that round although Poirier may have been saved by the bell. In the end, it's probably the experience of being an interim champ and having fought the likes of Khabib and Conor that helped him pull a narrow win (even if it's unanimous decision). Congrats to both fighters! What a great treat for fight fans.

Who's next?
Dustin vs. Tony?
Dustin vs. Conor (if he decides to come out of "retirement")?

I hope you guys have won your bets if you bet on Mike Perry. I liked the fight, it was emotional to see Mike Perry's girlfriend in his corner.

Where do I put the ice? She says.

i am going with Mickey Gall simply because of the odds and because of his ground skills.
The only reason for his heavy favorite for Mike Perry is simply because the biggest introduction to UFC for Mickey Gall was against CM Punk and then against Sage Northcutt who was a hype train created by the UFC because of his looks and athleticism and Gall could defeat them easily but then the myth behind Sage Northcutt was busted as he started loosing against mid level fighters and the only high performance of Mickey Gall is against these two novice fighters and he lost a couple of fights in between and Mike Perry is a knockout artist and even though he is not in his best form for several fights all the pundits expect the fight to end as a knockout in favor of Perry.

Only few hours left for start of next UFC event.
To prepare you can watch interesting interview with Dan Hooker with Ariel Helwani as he talk about how he got US visa
and his expectations to finish Dustin Poirier and win the fight.

Made a bet for the over 1.5 for Perry vs Gall at 2.02 now...  Line went low a bit.  So that's that, the over 2.5 for the main event at 1.84 and the round betting for Poirer at 4 and 5 or by decision for this event. 
I am a bit confused with Mike Perry and Mickey Gall fight, why is Mike Perry the heavy favorite when he lost 5 of his last 7 fights and he is claiming in all the pre fight interviews that his girlfriend will be in the corner for this fight which is really crazy but i do not understand the odds and why he is such a heavy favorite, i am going with Mickey Gall simply because of the odds and because of his ground skills.

Nice to see everyone on weight this time. I still find it awkward seeing them in masks during faceoffs  Grin

I'm gonna sit on this one. No particular pick but I would like Poirier to win.



I just found out that Alexander Gustaffson is coming back as a Heavyweight to face Fabricio Werdum on July 25. No wonder I saw a picture of him circulating in social media the other day and he looked out of shape.

The other fight you should look forward is Mike Perry where is coming into this fight with no coaches and his girlfriend will be in the corner  Cheesy.
This looks crazy but still Mike Perry is the favorite in the fight and Mickey Gall is a heavy underdog, i assume that Mike Perry did not train enough for this fight as he is not having a coach in his corner and yet why is he a big favorite in this fight, is there something i am missing. I have seen Mickey Gall fight but that was against CM Punk and Sage Northcutt but then he lost two fights in that period, so i am not sure what to take about this situation.
