gonz +100 the only one i considered.. (besides some o/u's, but meh)
didn't bet a thing yet. think the lines are pretty well set otherwise? i guess? tho arteaga not really justified to be that big of a favorite, i guess
i wanna hit the mckee u1.5, but he's burned me on a couple unders and tugman is fairly durable if nothing else...

Took 2 unit on Gonzales +150 in EU. I think he's an awful matchup for Ward, who always fucks up some way, especially if he can't get you out of there early. Gonzales probably gets a tko or gulliotine down the line i'd say, would take him at +100 as well.
I feel like I should be better Bruna here, but don't know enough about either tbh

i'd love +150. no doubt. i balked (but not regretting it and it might come back) at the +100
+150 i wouldn't have batted an eye.
jealous of you eu bastards.

orteaga is a rotund volume striking midget who arguably beat yankova... (man she was such a big dog, so frustrating)
ellen was very unimpressive vs middleton. i didn't watch her 2nd bellator fight.
notable:
orteaga is 29 and somehow ellen is only 21

It will absurd if we don't get lines on Georgi vs pineda, Lahat vs corrales,
Honeycutt vs casey...
^^^ please take note, bookies! We want to bet these!
Other damned interesting matchups on prelims yet again... Good Russians... Fairly well known dudes and dudettes...
Pfl and Bellator keep burying them on undercards... We need to start getting lines...

I dont understand why there isn't lines for most of these, pretty damn solid fights tbh?
Does Tugman really deserve to be +885 vs McKee? I mean, McKee has looked ever improving in his young career, but that seems excessive.
I'm a little tempted by Chidi Njokuani at the price he's at now. He has great size- looking forward to the weigh-in and face-offs- and seems focused on winning now more than ever according to his interviews.

man idk. koreshkov can just take him down i think
Maybe I just don't recall, but does Koreshkov go for takedowns? I'm just thinking of the Henderson & Lima fights, weren't they all stand-up on Koreshkov's part?

he's fought two dudes with whom he didn't wanna strike.. in fact, the two best guys (outside of askren) -- good and lima (the first time) -- he was effectively a lay and prayer the whole fight
That's a good point, but those fights were a while ago and Koreshkov didn't try all those takedowns in the most recent Lima fight as I recall. I wonder why he didn't try that strategy again, and of course he paid for it by getting knocked out in round 3. Chidi is also very big for the weight class. He might be difficult to take down if Koreshkov even tries this time. Plus Chidi has those dangerous knees. So I can't resist Njokuani at +275 and also ITD at +480. Koreshkov is the better overall fighter but he also got knocked out in his most recent fight by Douglas Lima. Chidi has a two inch height advantage and a four inch reach advantage. and he said he's been working mostly on his striking. Koreshkov could try to wrestle fuck him but each of the three rounds starts on the feet.

all i have so far:
0.33u mckee-tugman U1.5 +150
easy explanation: mckee SHOULD starch him. but tugman historically is pretty durable and i've lost on a couple U1.5's on mckee lately...
0.6u ellen +165
simply put i think it's a close fight. think it should be near a pick'em. also expecting the line to drop at some point closer to friday. orteaga doesn't inspire fear in others.. i.e. when we see them square off, etc.. she might win on volume / by having a stronger base, idk. i think it's gonna be a close decision.
