Smartz- Are you playing any PFL tonight? Last week it was huge plus money dogs cashing one after the other. I’m thinking of playing that route tonight just for fun.
Yah fights were last night. Almost pulled the trigger on Rory via sub. WIsh I didSmartz- Are you playing any PFL tonight? Last week it was huge plus money dogs cashing one after the other. I’m thinking of playing that route tonight just for fun.

nahCharles Oliveria -117 May 15th. Hit this one hard.
Just because you don't know who they are doesn't mean they aren't quality fighters. Primus, Goiti, Patricky, Rickels, Held could all be successful in the UFC. Every major organization in the world has elite talent. They just don't have the consistency and depth the UFC does. He's also beaten household names Dan Hooker, Eddie Alvarez (former UFC champ), and Benson Henderson (former UFC champ). He also finished all 3 of those guys. Conversely, of those last 11 fights Oliveira has had (see pic below), which one of those wins are worth writing home about? Despite only having 1 fight in the UFC, Chandler already has the same amount of wins vs guys currently ranked in the top 10 in the division and only 1 less win than guys currently ranked in the top 15. Not saying Oliveira isn't good, there's clearly no denying the tools he possesses. But I think you could make the same counter argument for him as you did Chandler.Michael Chandler has been powerful and impressive. With that said he hasn't beaten anybody.
Now your pick on Colby Covington is cray, cray.
Good Luck

In regards to Colby....
Considering if the fight had gone 50 more seconds it was a guaranteed split decision as Colby was leading 3-1 on one card, down 1-3 on another, and tied 2-2 on the final card even after breaking his jaw sometime in the 3rd (My personal feel was 3-1 Colby or 2-2 at worst heading into the 5th). I don't think taking +250 is crazy in the slightest. Sure you could argue Kamaru is the one that broke his jaw, but it's also a rare injury to suffer and part of in game variance. Prior to him breaking his jaw he was ahead 2-0, 2-0, and tied 1-1 on the scorecards. I think Kamaru is the better fighter but not 74% chance to win better. My other reason is I think this wager opens up +EV opportunities as I expect the fight to be close again and expecting much cheaper prices on Kamaru live.
Who do you think has had more pro bouts and suffered more finishes? Charlie Olives by a large marginI know Chandler beat Benson Henderson twice, spilt against Alverez, beat Dave Rickels, Rick Hawn, lost to Will Brooks twice. Plus Oliveria at 31 seems to be hitting his prime. His last win over Tony Ferguson was an amazing display of fighting skills. Chandler is 35, has been in multiple wars, 2 against Eddie Alvarez, I just think his recent competition was sub par. especially Benson Henderson, & Sidney Outlaw?
Colby fought crazy good in the first fight but it wasn't enough. I also think having already fought once is a plus for Kamaru. Kamuru is stronger, has better endurance,. The rematch will be close to 2 years from their first fight. I think all the upside belongs to Kamaru. I'm sure we are gonna find out. After this rematch your opinion will be changed like it was when Stipe got crushed by Ngannu.
Fight is off. Pearce decided not to fight Benitez because he missed weight.Benitez misses weight. ugh. At least he just forfeited his purse and gave up rather than drain himself and miss

Chandler finished both of those dudes in less than 3 minutes. Idk what more he is supposed to do.
Better endurance than Covington?
