He's a french striker that has pretty much made all of his opponents looks like they dont belong in the cage with him. His last fight was his first against a HW wrestler of sorts. He got pushed against the cage early then just loving ripped the dude's grip apart and nearly broke his arm with a nasty kimura. After the fight he said he had never actually trained that and his coaches were just showing it to him backstage as a method to just break the guy's grip when he clasped his hands.

Arlovski is old and busted.

Nobody should ever listen to me on the subject of betting but I'm on assuncao as the slight favorite against Stirling, Nate marquardt to beat Alvey as a bigger underdog than Stirling, and Arlovski to beat the young upstart.

That poo poo was insane live.

Ngannou is definitely still very green. He's been training around the same amount of time as Mickey Gall, but he's made big strides in his first year in the UFC.

Arlovski is the first time he's fighting someone with a lot of striking experience. Most of the guys he's fought so far have been grapplers or wrestlers and he's just wrecked their poo poo. If the pitbull stays disciplined and can dart in and out of Ngannou's range, he might be able to get a KO. However this is the first time Francis has fought a guy where he could kick with impunity without the threat of takedown. I think Arlovski is going to get kicked really loving hard a few times than knocked clean out.

EDIT: Note that I am a moron and frequently wrong so Arlovski by KO is still very possible.

So I went 0-4 last night on bets.

Tonight I picked Al-Jo, Marquardt, Bruce Leeroy, and Arvloski.

(Holy gently caress, Arvloski please redeem this run.)

I had a 7 straight loss cold streak a few months ago and just stepped away for a while once I broke it. Then I jumped back in with the great idea of taking the over 1.5 rounds on Sage Northcutt/Mickey Gall, lol

When Jason Gonzalez was talking about wanting a rematch with Drew Dober in the early prelims I felt really tempted to jump back in again for the first time since then (I went 4/4 on bets including a 3-fight parlay including that fight on UFC 203). I'm glad I held off for now because taking the odds on Arlovski was the only thing that sounded good to me for tonight's card.

Was gonna say Brunsons probably an alright bet but i saw hes like -150 so i dont know how much value there is there, as for the womens fight i have no opinion, good luck Jase and god bless

I hear you wish to ball, adventurer..
Hard to judge in his current form but Silva is a classic counter fighter and is basically the perfect foil for Brunson's aggressive style. If Silva shows up tonight I feel he's a really decent bet.

Yah definitely. I figured Brunson would be like a +150 underdog and you could just bet hoping Silva wont show up, but as a favorite idk

A good night to bet enough on Anderson to cover the stupid but live underdog bets. I expected more from Cannonier. The Black Jewish Alaskan who walks out to AC/DC and works full time as a FAA Flight Technician.
