pretty solid lineup here, actually.

lil bit of a quick turnaround for palomino, no? seems like it is

 

Gotta favor Foster here, right? Ricci is my B pick.

 

you mean over zeferino? or for the tournament? (guessing tournament based on the ricci B pick comment)

mamedov for me, i think, tho he might have to go the distance w/the vet, patino, could make him tired

is this potentially 3 fights in one night? anyone have the info on this?

 

jeez has Payan not packed in yet! gonna get smoked again

 

pretty much, hehe

he's mostly just chinny, tho, and high not a great striker

 

Foster being a go-for-broke kind of guy who doesn't take fights deep into the 3rd was a major factor in why I think he'll take it. He can stay fresher.

 

yea, i can see that

wonder what kind of lines we'll get for this event. will we get tourney odds? mid-event odds when second round starts?

 

Are they three rounders or two?

 

thx, pun

 

man, idk on an y of these ML's

i played O1.5 -140 for patino-madov, tho

 

honestly condon might have value. athleticism disadvantage but he's quite durable (don't let record fool you) and he's kinda crafty

 

Does anyone know anything about

Ramil Mustapayev

 

Some fights have changed apparently.. Ricci vs condon

Burley vs mustapayev

 

I'm thinking hard about the under 1½'s on these quarter-final tournament fights if and when the other two lines from the reshuffled bouts come out. Looking back at the Battlegrounds MMA tournament last year, every preliminary bout ended under 1½. And now two of them have new opponents.

 

Like betting all Unders? Not looking at each fight?

 

All the unders in the four tournament and the now one reserve bout at least. I don't hold a lot of confidence in handicapping these two round fights as far as distance of the bout. I think the fact that it's a one night tournament could be as much or more of a factor than these guys' historical tendencies.

 

for the proficient under/over players..
is foster/zefer u1.5 -150 any good?
