I'm following sawman's lead and locking in a few early before they get out of hand. I usually like to wait until the very end, but I see these ending at a much more expensive price.
Carla Esparza -160 over JJ 1.6 to win 1 Wrestling. That is all.
Joseph Duffy ITD -170 over Lindsey 1.7 to win 1 They want to showcase the "last guy to beat Conor" here. Duffy finishes basically everyone (11/12) and Lindsey hasn't been particularly impressive in his ufc run - he hasn't won a round, he's been finished twice, he tapped to heel strikes to the body when Jon Tuck had his back, etc.

I also like Hendricks(if the weight cut is good) and for some reason Dos Anjos. Any thoughts O???
Yeah, I like Johny by decision. I'm not sure if I like Johny at -320, decision at -170 or him at decision at +100, but those are the three I'm looking at. Brown is hard to finish with strikes and Johny's no sub master.
Brown has a very fan-friendly style when paired with other strikers. Last 10: Lawler, Erick Silva, Pyle, Mein, Swick, Ramos, Wonderboy, Cope, Baczinski, Howard. He has not been tested by a great wrestler in a long time. I think there's a reason he's not been paired with Johny, Tyron, Kelvin, Hector, Shields, Maia, Story or even Ellenberger during this run.
On to RDA. 30 fights with 18 in the UFC, 0 sub losses. If he can use his new found striking to set up takedowns, I don't think Pettis is as much a sub threat from bottom as he was with benson or Melendez. Also, Pettis is a much better striker moving forward than countering. I prefer the over in this one because I think they both win a round early and then Pettis runs away with it at the end and possibly finishes in the 4th or 5th.

Yeah Duffy is pretty opposite of Conor. He seems to be the soft-spoken gentleman type, but he's got a pretty strong hype train from the same area (I want to say he was born in Scotland but trains in Sweden and fights mostly in England? Something like that). He took 2-3 years off fighting until about a year ago and when Conor got so famous, I think he probably thought to himself, "oh shite, maybe I can make some serious cash with this thing".
Here's the Conor fight:

Well if Hendricks uses his wrestling correctly, its a easy fight. As with Pettis, I love his high risk, high reward fighting!!! I might be way off but their is something about Dos Anjos I just can't explain.

What you see in RDA is Rafael Cordeiro. He's the og chute boxe coach responsible for Shogun, Wandy, Anderson, Lyoto.
Lately he works with Werdum - the guy who once butt scooted around against Reem who now KOs Hunt with a knee. And RDA - another "mainly just BJJ" guy who turns into a guy that KOs Benson and dominates Nate Diaz. And another guy he's working with? Beneil Dariush.

uI went ahead and played Esparza and the Duffy ITD. Also went in on Dariush - sad I waited - money has come in on him. He has looked good but only worry about him getting clipped by one of Cruickshank's wild techniques. I went with RDA too. His athleticism is on par and if he gameplans to get the fight to the floor I think he can win rounds. One thing I do worry about is if he has been on roids and is now off. His rise and striking prowess has reminded me of Vitor. Still +330 too good to pass up.

I like the idea of betting RDA at a good number. He's been able to stifle his opponents' good skill sets with his solid well rounded skills. But at the end of the day, Pettis is one of the best P4P fighters (RDA may actually be too!), wins fights in dynamic fashion, and shouldn't lose this fight.
I'm not sure what the line will do from now to fight time

I also played Big Country early. Just think his chin could hold up long enough to land one against Glass Joe. Overeem doesn't usually win with hand strikes and Roy's belly can hold up against his kicks and knees. Don't see it ending up on the ground, but if Roy doesn't land early, could see it ending up in a boring decision for Reem after Roy gasses.

Keeping up my impeccable record on Friday night crap cards. I would bet on curran again if that fight was ran another time. As for Romero, I wouldn't bet him with ferrari's money.
0-2 -1.3
67-61 +16.7
