Probably a lot of good fights here, but as an eternal casual, I don't know much about most fighters here.

What do you guys think about the main fights?

Dricus is a big favorite (1.42X the money) vs Usman 2.88X

Cannonier - extreme underdog at 4.10X vs CLD 1.24X


Is there any way these old underdogs could pull through? Thinking about putting something small on Usman, even though I believe Dricus will likely be too much. Heard mentioned that there was some training vid with Usman vs Gaethje, where Usman may have hurt his knee as well.

I don’t see it going any other way. Conor maybe looks like the McGregor of old in the first round, but I see him fading fast and getting finished (no homo) inside of 3

@P7nk going to need stream links later on brah

I am going to make a bet. I might even be wrong.

Gane does not belong in the same league as Alex P.

I am betting that Gane gets KO'd violently in the very first round.

Crazy banger of a card and an excellent opportunity to make money

thank fully hurricanes goalie made over 21.5 saves (game went into overtime) and I got a nice return

spent half of it on these bets for ufc tonight!

Thoughts?I haven’t seen It yet but a lot of fighters I watched in UFC have been in on it.

Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven

I think Usyk will take it. Verhoeven is a great kickboxer, but his boxing is not elite like Usyk.

Unified heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk will defend his WBC title against renowned kickboxer Rico Verhoeven on Saturday, May 23, at the legendary Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. This historic bout, set against the backdrop of one of the world's most iconic landmarks, will air live on DAZN.

Pretty much a confirmed rumor at this point. Max should destroy him at 155 but 170 could be a whole different story given the size discrepancy. That being said, major miscalculation from the UFC. Could've made this a BMF title fight, have Max retire Connor, then have a big rematch between Max vs Tuporia

Pretty stacked for a McGregor card. Got Whittaker in the f'ing prelims wtf.

I think Paddy vs BDS was purposely made in case Connor backs out, at least they could salvage the card with a Holloway vs Paddy fight.

That being said Holloway should destroy McGregor but this fight being at 170lbs makes it interesting.

Who do you guy? I got Honda, Diaz and Francis. Even tho i would love to see Honda lose.

Haven't seen Strickland ever showing anything resembling athletic ability compared to how quickly Chimaev moves around in wrestling etc. Just upright walking forward, with mostly pillow hand jabs.

Only thing speaking for Strickland is Chimaev possibly gassing, but that concern was relevant years ago when had different ppl around him and almost killed himself cutting weight.

I can see why Chimaev's last fight turned out the way it did, as still a bit uncertain about cardio, weight class and so on. Plus his camp in the corner telling him to make it boring to just secure the title. As DDP can obviously be a beast on the feet, why take any chances?


Thinking of even putting a small amt that he knocks Strickland out. He's way bigger now than when they sparred, better conditioned and don't think he respects Strickland's ”power”. So after the shit talk, I wouldn't be surprsied if he decides to spend at least a portion of the five rounds saving energy and just take it to Strickland the way that would humiliate him the most.

Anyways, looks like an interesting card. Have to look into the other fights soon.

Anyone watching this? 11pm GMT. Thoughts, predictions, general observations are all equally welcome here.

It’s over for that baldcel

Let's go Strickland Propane and Propane Accessories

Chimaev will most likely take him down within 30 seconds and just choke him out


I wish he would stand and fight like Usman and Colby just said fuk wrestling we’re gonna bang (pause)
