Holly Holm needs to win her next fight, and beat Germaine de Randamie to take the Women's Featherweight Championship. Then defend it a couple times for here to remembered who just knocking out Ronda Rousey. After two losses from Meisha Tate and Valentina Shevchenko she really needs to win the fight. Hope to see a classic fight from here. Unexpected that Anderson Silva is back. I can't wait to watch UFC 208.
The Feather weight division is built entirely because of the popularity of Cristiane Justino AKA Cyborg who is considered as the best female fighter in the world and even when UFC was hyping and building Ronda Rousey everyone knew that Cyborg could smoke her to dust and that is the reason they kept her quite for a long time and when Ronda lost then they wanted a new face in the women's division and she is the one to carry that and even if Holly Holmes wins this one her real test will be Cyborg and i really wanted to see that match.

Anderson Silva (33-8) vs. Derek Brunson (16-4) (Middleweight)
Skip, Idk wtf is going to happen here
Seriously though, I see Derek Brunson as something like a journeyman. Good enough for top 10 but then cannot break into the top 5. Silva on the other hand is playing the role of the gate keeper, but someone who still hasn't given up on his title aspirations yet. I know he's 41, but his passion and motivation is still there. And he's still quite good imho. At around 2.25 there's a bit of value there I think.
Edit: Oh and he might be the closest to this guy to fight in the octagon.

Germaine Radamie winning via unanimous decision could be a good one
Im not sure of the odds yet but I think this will go the 5 round distance.Im sticking to Germaine win right now around 1.85
You could possibly hedge that with holm via UD so that you break even if that happens.
I got Holm on this one. She has got a good chin and heavy striker. Holm by unanimous decision.

Whaaa? Seriously? How can you not bet on the Spider aka Mr. Nunchuk leg?

@krach. I will follow you on this bet. At what method do you think Germain will win? Will it reach the decision? Maybe a prop bet of Germaine Radamie winning via unanimous decision could be a good one? I cannot see Holly being knocked out in this fight. She has good movement in the octagon and could be hard to hit.
Quick Leans:
Holly Holm (10-2) vs. Germaine de Randamie (6-3) (Women's Featherweight Championship)
Germanie, she is a better and more aggressive striker imo, I hope more people bet on holm and the line moves.
Anderson Silva (33-8) vs. Derek Brunson (16-4) (Middleweight)
Skip, Idk wtf is going to happen here
Ronaldo Souza (23-4) vs. Tim Boetsch (20-10) (Middleweight)
Souza via desruction, have to look for a prop maybe Souza in the distance
Glover Teixeira (25-5) vs. Jared Cannonier (9-1) (Light Heavyweight)
Glover please retire, I dont want to see you with brain damage. Skip for now
Dustin Poirier (20-5) vs. Jim Miller (28-8) (Lightweight)
Why is Miller such a dog here? Im considering a bet on Miller, going to watch some more tape.
So far the only one I would bet on is Germanie

De Randamie vs Holly Holm - I think Holm will win this one but it won't be easy
Anderson Silva vs Derek Brunson - Silva to KO this bitch

Hey guys. Check the new OP. All info available for this event should be all there now.
I can't believe Anderson Silva is the underdog here vs Derek Brunson. I think the latter is a journeyman and is not top 5 material. And I don't think Silva will allow himself to lose vs Brunson even though Silva may be thinking he has no shot in the title anymore. But who knows what's going on in that head of his. Maybe he'll go for the oldest champ in the UFC...
I still can’t believe we are that old now I can't believe Anderson Silva is the underdog here vs Derek Brunson. I think the latter is a journeyman and is not top 5 material.

I remember the times Silva was the man and he was the greatest fighter we saw with his matrix like moving around and iritating his opponents and all. One day he got old and when he was moving around BAM! One punch and he was gone, never been the same. He was the guy who showed the World you do not need to be strong and punch your way into winning, he fought smart. I hope he gets this one and shows the World he can make a big comeback and win it again too.

@bbc reported may be that is the real case 
as Travis Browne followed Ronda Rousey to her coach and both the fighters are doomed ,heard that there used to make Ronda's sparring partners sign a non disclosure to avoid spreading the truth to the public and they were building Rousey as a legit super star her coach even said she will be a world champion boxer if she wants to as she is already knocking out world champion boxers during sparring and will even beat Floyd Mayweather . Right now Travis Browne is a gate keeper for talented fighters but if you look at the heavy weights every one is above 34 and most have won titles after that and so he can make a come back if he is under the right coaches because i still remember a couple of years back he was a legit treat in the UFC who was knocking people out with elbows and front kicks.

Guess who has been training with Anderson Silva in preparation of the latter's fight for UFC 208? It's none other than Jacare Souza! I think Jacare should be given a chance for the MW title. He's not getting any younger and at least give him his shot. I'm pretty sure he can take Bisping, Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero. Sometimes I think the UFC avoids giving some fighters a title shot because they're not marketable enough.
The UFC always avoids giving fighters a title shot if they are not marketable ,look at the case of Demian Maia he is being over looked for a very long time and he is a legit contender and certainly age is not in his side but in the case of Jacare Souza Yoel Romero defeated him in a very close fight and both the fighters are in their late 30s and they both deserve the title shot long back and so is the case with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson and so does Max Hollaway.
Or maybe because he is always tired in training because his girlfriend is Ronda Rousey. ;-D
I disagree that he will get his old ferocity in the octagon back. He is 34 years old and the competition and skill in all of MMA is getting higher and higher. Soon the young fighters who have more motivation, skill and who are hungrier will take over. Theold fighters like Travis Browne will only play the role of gate keeper in the sport.

@HaXX0R1337. Travis Browne is not a top 3 fighter judging from his fight history. He can jump from camp to camp to make himself a better fighter but that will do him no good in the UFC. The skill level is very high in MMA these days and all he can hope for is to become a gate keeper in the heavy weight division or maybe can get lucky like Michael Bisping.
IMHO, Travis Browne can be a legit heavyweight contender still. His problem is more of a mental thing. I still remember his KO's win over Barnett, Gonzaga and Overeem, wicked elbows!!!. I hope he can still recover his old form and win against Lewis so that he can still prove that he still has some in his tank and a win would obviously put his name in the title contention for the HW title in the future.

I've never see de Randamie fight. But she seems really strong. Holms is good at distance fighting. She should keep it that way. Maybe she can win this fight. But i will bet for de Randamie this time. My other bets are:
Travis Browne vs. Derrick Lewis (Heavyweight) --> Lewis
Glover Teixeira vs. Jared Cannonier (Light Heavyweight) --> Cannonier
Dustin Poirier vs. Jim Miller (Lightweight) --> Poirier
Ryan LaFlare vs. Roan Carneiro (Welterweight) --> Can euro
Paul Felder vs. Gilbert Burns (Lightweight) --> Felder
Travis Browne vs. Derrick Lewis (Heavyweight) --> Lewis
Glover Teixeira vs. Jared Cannonier (Light Heavyweight) --> Cannonier
Dustin Poirier vs. Jim Miller (Lightweight) --> Poirier
Ryan LaFlare vs. Roan Carneiro (Welterweight) --> Can euro
Paul Felder vs. Gilbert Burns (Lightweight) --> Felder
Travis Browne has left his old camp and i would think that he needs to start focusing on bringing back his old fight techniques in order to win matches against elite level fighters,The black beast Lewis is a tough fighter but he has endurance issues and never posed a challenge to top fighters. Glover Teixeira will win the match as i am not sure who Jared is and have never seen him fight.

Quick Leans
De Randamie - No reason for her being the underdog, she is as good or a better striker to Holm. Im on Randamie for sure, Holm does well against people with lesser striking than her, not the other way around.
Lewis over Travis Browne -What is up with Travis, I think he may have changed camps this time, is that enough to get the old Travis back with crazy footwork? He is going to need it vs Lewis and Browne has a questionable chin. Leaning Lewis.
Glover Teixeira vs. Jared Cannonier - Glover please retire for your health
Marcin Tybura vs. Luis Henrique - Doesnt go the distance
De Randamie and Holly Holmes is a tough fight to choose but i think Homes can win this one and be the 145 pound champion.De Randamie - No reason for her being the underdog, she is as good or a better striker to Holm.

Travis Browne has switched camps and it is a good progress from his side,from a future title holder when he set foot inside the octagon his performance has gone down with the coaching of Edmond Tarverdyan
Glover Teixeira is a good fighter he just fought the best in the division and he will be back for sure.
