lot of rashad lovers, I just freerolled, didn't expect this line movement, and only marginally liked him at -145, and mostly took him b/c a buddy unloaded at that price.
For me
.4u Lentz (+313)
.66u Weidman by dec (+145)
and freeroll on Rashad.
Maia as a dog is understandable and don't see why people think otherwise. He has 3 things going for him vs Weidman, octagon experience, getting a full training camp in, and jitz. The last one being the glaring advantage. Weidman is a phenomenal athlete and wrestler. I don't know his striking all that well but from what I've seen, it looks like he can develop it whereas Maia has improved but there seems to be a ceiling w/ him, mostly b/c he's just not as athletic as others. w/ the skillset Weidman has, his gameplan should be pretty simple, don't get taken down, be so conservative that everyone is booing. I would've been all over him if he was the UD which is what I was expecting when the line opened. oops.
Really hate that my largest bet now is on a prop, but not a huge fan of this card from a betting perspective.
