STRAIGHT BET Aug 03 DARKO STOSIC -137 (KENNEDY NZECHUKWU vrs DARKO STOSIC)

Darko Stosic is at a major reach disadvantage in this fight, but will have a experience advantage and speed advantage and will take this fight to the ground to avoid Kennedy Nzechukwu main weapon kicks to the head. Nzechukwu fight record is a sham, with some of the worst fighters like Dennis Bryant a nobody from Alaska, Andre Kavanaugh who was only 5'8 and has a 7-14 record, Corey Johnson who had a losing record as a amateur and and a weird loss to Paul Craig who made him look good, but Paul Craig was merced by Alonzo Menifield and his career in the UFC is most likely over unless its a UK card. Nzechukwu fights out of Fortis MMA and should show improvement and will want to keep this fight on the feet but Darko Stosic will use his judo to control this fight where he has top level brutal ground and pound that he used to finish Jeremy Kimball. Darko Stosic went the distance with Devin Clark who much higher level fighter then Nzechukwu, There was some controversy when Stosic was going to slam Clark to the mat and Clark grabbed the cage. Darko Stosic also has KO power in his hands and good leg kicks, but carries alot of muscles, the more time he is in top control nullifying Nzechukwu chances to victory the better. I expect the weight cut to affect both fighters and there has not been much line movement.

The bout with Emeev vs Cláudio Silva was rescheduled and was expected to take place on 3 August 2019 at UFC on ESPN 5 , Emeev was removed from this event due to alleged visa issues, that restricted his travel to the United States. He was replaced by promotional newcomer Cole Williams

My book still has Emeev vs Cláudio Silva listed, but Cláudio Silva is going to win in the first round.

Should be a great fight. Also hope Covington loses on the main card. His trash talk is too much

i am not a fan of his public persona at times, I do think he walk the line a little too close, and sheds a bad light on the sport, where respect has to be shown in order for there not to be a breakdown in the rules. That being said , my early impression is that this is a bad mach-up for Lawler, age and post USADA is catching up to him. Covington has found a formula for success and will have the full support of American Top Team behind him where there is still bad blood. Cerrone had a staph infection and a pulled groin prior to the Lawler fight. Lawler suffered from a torn ACL in 2017. I feel if Cerrone was 100%, Lawler would be on a 4 fight losing streak. Dana White: Colby Covington ‘Stepped Up’, Will Receive Title Shot With Win Over Robbie Lawler, I feel the UFC wants Kamaru Usman vs Colby Covington, I want Kamaru Usman vs Robbie Lawler, I would bet the farm on Kamaru Usman to beat Robbie Lawler.

WagerType:pARLAY (2 TEAMS)
Date: Team:
Aug 03 SCOTT HOLTZMAN -430 (DONG HYUN KIM vrs SCOTT HOLTZMAN)
Aug 03 CLAUDIO SILVA -435 (CLAUDIO SILVA vrs COLE WILLIAMS)

These two fights are the exact opposit of each other, Holtzman vs Hyun Kim with be on the feet, Hyun Kim just stands infront of fighters and wants to trade. He was KO by Devonte Smith and his three win were not very impressive competition one of the win was in The Ultimate Fighter over a gas can . I had money on Holtzman last fight and lost vs Nik Lentz. Holtzman has good wrestling also and take down defense, and will be the stronger fighter. I expect Holtzman to continue making progress at the MMA LAb.

Cláudio Silva is a sick ground Specialist, there is no way in the world Cole Williams who is taking this fight on short notice can prepare for this, The problem with Cláudio Silva is his lack of activity, but this different he is comming off a 16 March 2019 win. This is Williams first fight in the UFC , his record is padded with killers like Jon Kennedy with a stellar record of 8-29-0 and Devoniere Jackson who only had two MMA fights. Cláudio Silva was training for Emeev but he will not have to change his game plan for Cole Williams

It's a shame you pushed away all the regulars down here and took over this room with amateur hour nonsense mega chalk plays and plagiarized write ups ... And the info you don't jack from others is always totally wrong

Any fool can take the biggest favorites week after week and recommend playing them straight and parlaying them ... That's not handicapping, that's a try hard desperately wanting to be viewed as an expert in something they know absolutely nothing about ... Good size group of us watching you embarrass yourself

Keep your eye on Valentina on the 10th ... -1000 is right up your alley

Buying half my bet back , the size difference at media day was just too much
KENNEDY NZECHUKWU PK and eating the -30 juice.

I hope I see Hache in here getting angry at NYK's post like he did when I posted. I'm sure he will. He doesn't have anything personal against me. He's never posted in this forum before but it's not personal.
