FULL UFC 278
LOCKED IN

Title

Description

I like this card. Some fun matchups, but I had a tough time getting reads on most of the fights. Too many unknowns and unproven UFC fighters on the prelims. And I am making a point to be more selective on the bets I am placing. UFC 278 seems like a good event to practise some discipline.

Jose has a great matchup on his hands. His takedown defence is some of the best in the history of the sport, and his lighting quick stand-up game will be too much over 15 minutes for the flat-footed Merab. Jose looked rough on the scale, and when you’ve been around as long as Jose, there is always a risk that they will show up and all of a sudden look old. But I am happy to back one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, who looked like a world beater his last time out. Merab has not proven to be that caliber.

Hey Leon, I am sorry to say, but – “You’re not that guy.”
I like Leon, and he is one of the best fighters in the world. But he is still two tiers below Usman. Usman will be the bigger risk on the feet, and will be happy to change levels. Have a lot of faith in the P4P #1 fighter in the world here.
