For the main event, I have thought Dillishaw would win for most of the time since the announcement of the fight, based on Cruz's inactivity, but I am warming up to Cruz. I have felt for sometime that the odds would end up closer to even. I think it will be close to even by fight time.

I have been wanting to play Pettis SU, as I'm not seeing any other worthy parlay partners. I think Pettis wins easy.

Another fight I have flip flopped on is, I originally liked Ben Saunders, but Cote has been pretty effective lately.

I think Meathead can beat Browne. For awhile it looked as though Browne was making his way towards a title shot, but then he got KTFO by Arlovski. Some one's getting KO'd

Felder vs Cruicshank is the battle of inconsistents. Elder looked real strong for awhile and he too has stepped back in my opinion. I think Cruickshank is the more fluid striker

Here was what covers removed. 

Im with you on Pettis. Alvarez will fade come late 2nd and 3rd. Pettis will take over with his stiking. Maybe take alvarez hedge on KO.

Im liking Trinaldo too his striking is explosive. Ross pearson gotten a bad judging call, he clearly won the entire fight, one judge gotten it 30-27 I believe for Ross vs sanchez, still lost the split. So if theres rigging it wont be on Ross's favor. Recently his record isnt so great I see him staying where he's at. Trinaldo won a few wins straight, this win will give him a fight against higher ranked fighters. Any rigging will be on his side if you believe in that, if not still assurance. With trinaldo at +130 hes a strong pick. Looks like he will have upset win but he's really on the up when Ross is at a stand still. 

Pettis and trinaldo parlay is a good choice. at +200 or so

I was with matt for the win but Browne is still in the mix with the top 5, although I dont see him beating top 5 at all. Again if you believe in judge rigging fights Browne would not be judged in his favor. Travis is good match up after beating Matt for Ben. Ben to beat Barnett then Travis. Ben to fight Overeem.

If anything the UFC pushes certain fighters that have low chance to be champ to fight top 5 fighters (or lose to someone who will lose to top 5) only to be KO'ed for the top 5 fighters to gain hype for the other fighter. To me Trinaldo is one of those fighters and so is Browne. Win these fights and lose the next, at least in Browne's case, as he cant beat arlovski and arlovski cant beat stipe. So as bad as it sounds, Browne is a pawn for Ben to win then Ben to lose to Overeem.

Again if you believe judges rigging fights,  Browne would be judged in his favor. - typo.

That's a lock to me. Alvarez is garbage. BOL.I'm also going to make an emotional bet on Cruz because I hate Dillashaw. I think Cruz > ring rust.

Eddie Alvarez is garbage? Wow, strong words. I don't agree at all. I think he can make the Anthony Pettis fight very competitive. The value is on him in this match in my opinion. I already bet him straight up at +275, by decision at +475 and a small bet on Alvarez +3½ points at +130.

Eddie lost to cerrone. Pettis KO cerrone. Thats a good judge of where the fighters rank.  Eddie got dismantled really by a slightly above average fighter, Cerrone. His punches on Cerrone did not phase him, even 10-20 in the clinch. Eddie has no power, he throws punches and kicks wildly. Pettis is super accurate. 

This fight is to boost Pettis to a future Conor fight or future khabib fight. 

The odds are right on this one. 

Silva v bisping is interesting match up. Bisping may pull of the win against the 40 year old brazilian.

Although I do like Eddie, how he is ranked 4 in the world I'll never know. He's over rated and decent at best in the division. Pettis has this fight on the feet but I can certainly see Eddie using his wrestling and grinding out a decision kind of how RDA did but he's far from RDA. I think Pettis showcases his kicks big time in this fight. I think he wins head kick TKO round 2 but Eddie is a grinder. I just don't see Pettis dropping 2 in a row. He comes back so much stronger after a loss as usual.

I like the position mitrione is in. He's pussed at UFC and the sport. He s ready to walk away. He's not really expected to win. Browne has some holes. Meathead can go out there, lay it on the line.

Well I may have been over-stating it a little bit by calling Alvarez 'garbage'. With that out of the way, he's unproven at the UFC level. Sure, he beat alot of guys.... in Bellator. But he's epitomizing the difference between the UFC & the rest of the organizations. He lost to Cerrone and eeked out a split decision over Melendez. Honestly that fight exposed Melendez more than anything. If I recall, that's his last fight before getting popped for PED use... and he still couldn't win. Anyways, there's no way I'm taking Alvarez over PETTIS. I'm taking Pettis inside the distance. EASY. Pettis wants that belt back badly, and with McGregor in the mix he needs a huge statement win here. Alvarez is NOT #4 at 155. That was some default ranking stuff when he signed the contract.

Brutal. Big loss. Could have gone either way. Lack of TDD was all it was Eddie did zero damage
