TYRON WOODLEY -160
(KAMARU USMAN vrs TYRON WOODLEY) (UFC 235 - Welterweight 5 )
I'm going to hedge this bet with the Under if its 4 1/2 rounds

I rode the Kamaru Usman train in his last three fights and, he does not have the cardio or the focus to go 5 Rounds with Woodley. Usman was expected to face Santiago Ponzinibbio on May 19, 2018 at UFC Fight Night 129. However, on April 21, Ponzinibbio was pulled from the card due to injury, and he was replaced by Demian Maia. Demian Maia tried to strike with Usman, i just don't understand what happen there and I faded Maia because i though he was just too beat up and injured, it was a weird win for Usman who just could not put Maia away. Usman was scheduled to face Emil Weber Meek on December 30, 2017 at UFC 219, but the fight was rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Stephens vs. Choi. He won the fight by unanimous decision and dominated showing how strong his take down offense is, A better striker like Woodley or Till would have cause him a lot of problems if he faught like this. Usman right hand is his bread and butter, he used to to destroy Sérgio Moraes. Usman has defeated some good strikers like Leon Edwards who is on a 6 fight win streak. I think Woodley should be fighting Covington who would be a easier fight for Woodley, but the UFC chose Usman in large part because of its frustration over the fact that Covington, who won the interim welterweight title in June by defeating Rafael dos Anjos, refused to fight anyone else while Woodley was recovering from hand surgery. Tyron Woodley speed and power rearranged the face of was Darren Till who was the perfect target, but how good is Darren Till ?

Can Kamaru Usman look for openings and still survive, fuck no. He will be picked apart. Kamaru Usman is a better wrestler then Darren Till but neither fighter has the MMA experience of woodley. I was in the 3rd row in when Tyron Woodley in Atlanta, Georgia ended Robbie Lawler career. If something looks too good be be true is usually is but -160 on Tyron Woodley ?

and "Jon "Bones" Jones is on the same card who will prove is is the best of all times.

Mar 02 ZABIT MAGOMEDSHARIPOV -245 (JEREMY STEPHENS vrs ZABIT MAGOMEDSHARIPOV)

I have never been a fan of Jeremy Stephens, He beat Gilbert Melendez who is on a 4 fight losing streak and I was on the wrong end when Stephens faced Josh Emmett on February 24, 2018, Jose Aldo destroyed Stephens with a perfect shovel hook in the first TKO (punches). Jeremy Stephens went on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Monday and opened up suicidal thoughts he felt after his loss to Jose Aldo last July. Zabit Magomedsharipov is a absolute enigma, he is over 6 feet and 73 1⁄2 reach , he had a complete war with Kyle Bochniak that he dominated. He has two Performances of the Night. I see no way for Stephens to win , if he tries to bang, Zabit Magomedsharipov will beat him with kicks, if the fight goes to the ground, Zabit has won 3 out 4 of his fights by sub. Zabit is a very patient fighter , but has so many tool at his disposal you don't know what he is setting up. Stephens was very confident that Zabit could not match his power, mental ability and cardio. “He doesn’t have the fight IQ” and “He has never faced someone as vicious as me” Zabit will be able to nullify Stephens power with his movement and reach and timing. Zabit has the advantage in cardio and mental ability.

Mar 02 BEN ASKREN -275 (ROBBIE LAWLER vrs BEN ASKREN)

"Funky" competed in the 2000 Olympics winning a silver medal. Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This fight could be over in the first round if Ben Askren gets the takedown. Robbie Lawler is 36 and 28–12 comming off a loss to Rafael dos Anjos and has had extended layoff due to a torn ACL. "Funky" has been inactive due to contract negotiations, but has been training with Tyron Woodley. Robbie didn't look like he had that pop on his punches in the Rafael dos Anjos fight, but he did get caught up in Muay Thai clinch and just ate knees, and he had been racking up injuries. Lawler was expected to face Carlos Condit on November 15, 2015 at UFC 193. However, the bout was scrapped from the event after Lawler suffered a thumb injury. Lawler was briefly linked to a bout with Donald Cerrone on November 12, 2016 at UFC 205. However, just a few days after the announcement, it was revealed that Lawler had declined the fight to allow more recovery time from his last defeat. It's just time to start fading Ruthless vs a elite wrestler. I just wish the price was better.

(ROBBIE LAWLER vrs BEN ASKREN)

Buying back half of the "Funky" bet and putting money on the prop. Lawler comes out a house of fire and KO the Funky one, or he gets subed . Both have alot to prove, Funky need to make a statement to Dana, Lawler does not want back-to-back losses if he want to stay in the UFC and i don't think he is happy being a stepping stone for a guys in is first UFC fight from the weighins. Askren did not even shake Danas' hand when he offered it, that was just too cold and not professional, you need to have your emotions more in check , he is not fighting dana , it's business. . I really want to see how post USADA Lawler is and what the long layoff has done. ?
