It's slow in here, so let's get some dialogue going!
Mir Arlovski is an interesting matchup. Arlovski seems to be a pretty popular pick. I'm surprised Mir is not getting more love. Some questions about his chin, but it held up pretty well vs Duffee. He was able to go the distance with Cormier and Reem. Obviously has a ground game advantage. The fight may never hit the ground, unless it's a follow up to knock down. But it may prevent Arlovski from clinching too much. Arlovski used to get heat over a weak chin, but it has been solid his past several fights. I think the stand up is pretty comparable.Mir has more losses lately but he only fights the top tier. Arlovski had a great KO vs Browne but he was almost out himself. His win vs Schaub was actually a loss to everyone but the judges. Up to his UFC return he was fighting absolute cans. His loss vs AJ could have been a win, but AJ is not a HW
I think Mir at +$ is a good play

Nice write-up!!!!!!!! Total toss up IMO, don't have a lean one way or another. Might sit this fight out or wait for some yo-yo to post about how it's a lock and bet the other way, lol.

johnson does have an iron chin but he could get outstruck here in a three round fight with manuwa having the better kicks
PEDs are an interesting consideration. But I guess you could say that about almost every fighter if they're cracking down more than ever.
I don't see this fight going the distance. I think AJ finishes him inside 2 rounds. He has looked great vs everyone but Cormier, but DC will take out pretty much everyone
I jumped on 500 early because it's going to be 700 by fight time. And Felder too. Jumped on that early because 300 will be 500

the line could move depending on how manuwas looks on the scales. i dont think he ever did the surgery on his knee so he might still be injured. my guess is that he doesnt have time to take a year off from the sport so hes going to fight through the knee like dc has done
if jimi is healthy i cant see any reason to lay -500 on johnson let alone -700 which wont even get parlay action

if rumble decides to stand and trade he could get caught. jimi throws very straight and technical punches, every bit as so as johnson albeit with less power and with the lessor chin and manuwas left hand(hook and jab) is arguably better than rumbles
imo, johnson should mix his stand-up with tds and fight to a safe decision or late stoppage but i dont think that version of rumble exists
hes going to come out and trade from round one and that is manuwas only path to victory.
