I recommend watching their UFC fights. They have been incredible so far. You'll be like oh this is going to be nuts.

Man... Barao getting a lot of love here and IDK why. 1st move to 145 and fighting a dude with vicious power and is tough as nails. Masvidal vs Larkin fight gonna be a nice display of stand up skill! Can't wait for this card!

Still upsetting that UFC buried Sterling's fight to the very bottom of the card. Doesn't make sense cause that fight produces a potential title contender.
There's lots of questions on how Barao will return after TJ decisively beat him down twice. If he's not mentally wrecked he can be a beast at FW. At FW he won't have to only rely on being a counter pressure fighter. He can look to be aggressive and create his own openings without worrying about gassing out.
Tarec-Story is a tough fight to pick. I think Tarec survives any attacks Story tries and picks him apart.

I think Cody is worth a bet. Hasn't shown his elite wrestling level yet, and has a better pure boxing than Pickett, who caught Thomas a couple of times.
He was +270 when I placed my bet - def worth it, imo.
Tarec is back at Tristar to finalize his camp.

Where did you get him at +270? I'd pull the trigger on that all day long. He opened at about +180 on most of the popular sites.
I'd say Garbrandts best bet, is keeping it technical and not getting into a firefight, Almeida isn't a particularly conservative striker and unlike say Yair Rodriguez I think his style actually opens him to counters. If Almeida wins here, I'd be very interested in a Dillashaw Almeida match-up.

It doesn't make any sense, unless perhaps it's a cheap move to gain a few fight pass subscriptions.

Even then it doesn't make sense cause Caraway is unlikable and Sterling isn't that much known.

That's what happens when it took forever for him to get his last fight and buried it on fight pass.

Cruz vs Faber winner gets TJ vs Assuncao winner. And the winner gets the winner of Sterling/Caraway winner vs Almeida/Garbrandt winner ?

Seems fair, Dodson vs the winner of Lineker/Font too?
Damn Bantamweight is STACKED!!!
