FIGUEIREDO vs BENAVIDEZ

Joe B +185 1U

   Joe was winning the last fight, until the headbutt and then got finished.  I just can't bet Fig at -money, when the dude just had the Rona.

Marc Diakeise -160 3U

   This guy jumps off the screen like a modern day Anthony Johnson.  The guy he's fighting is 7-1 sure, but his UFC loss is against Magomed Mustafaev, who's a little underwhelming no matter how you wanna bet a name that sounds like that, and his one UFC win is a decision against a 4-6 UFC guy. If you bet inside the distance, Diakeise is the guy. 

Kevlin Gastelum -115 Heavy Lean

  Idk, but I shrug off K's loss to Till. He was in a funk after his title loss, that he had spots to win, and he took a subsequent L. I wanna see K at weigh-ins before I bet. 

FUTURE STUFF.

Shogun -200 vs Lil Nog 3U

  Probably gonna parlay this in a lot with this weekend's action. Shogun is six years younger and looks it on tape. Classy sendoff for a great in Nog vs another wardog. Surprised at the line honestly. 

Benavidez was getting dominated even before the headbutt 

You made me rewatch it and Joe B was not winning. Sticking with bet, tho. Hopefully Joe shows more patience as I think his footwork is better and he'll outlast the guy who had the Rona, over 5 rounds.

Why not just bet Joe B wins a 5 round decision +310? That's the only path I see him winning, plus with the covid factor. Joe B hit Fig clean with some of his best shots in that 1st round and he barely flinched lol, not to mention he nearly got submitted.

Pretty sure he had it a couple months back and then was thought to re-test positive. /

ok found it.   https://www.mmafighting.com/2020/7/17/21328086/deiveson-figueiredo-passes-multiple-covid-19-tests-cleared-fight-joseph-benavidez-vacant-ufc-belt

I know some won't click but says, "“Deus da Guerra” wasn’t allowed on the second chartered flight that left Sao Paulo six days ago after testing positive for the novel coronavirus. The Brazilian talent defended it was a false-positive since he had COVID-19 two months prior in his hometown. A second test was done the next morning, and it came back negative.

I'd get more into over/unders, but bet I William Hill and they're limited. I'm overly paranoid at betting online sportsbooks. Still tho, I think Joe B could finish.

I'm a lil nervous. I parlay too much. Got some Alvarez exposure coming up here. GL all.

Alvarez gets it rolling. Seems like the entire forum had the +260 fighter winning. Well done boys.

A lot of good thinking here. I think Fig finishes Joe though.

Anyways, GL tonight

Sticking foot all the way in mouth.

Just on fire!
