    Amanda Nunes (-150) Valentina Shevchenko (+130)

    Nunez fades after 1 round and Shevchenko is a world class kickboxer, which means she wont likely find herself in trouble in the first. Shevchenko by stoppage.



    Jim Miller vs. Diego Sanchez


    90% of the reason Sanchez is still on cards is because he's perfectly adapted his game to decision the Jim Miller's of the world.

    2 very valid points. I just hope Sanchez doesn't get another ridiculous decision.

    Sanchez is basically a petri dish for ridiculous decisions.



    Like, Diego is my money incubator for this event. If Miller can nail a takedown a round and somehow ride those to victory, so be it, more power to him, but I will never, ever take anyone who isnt a marquis level fighter against Sanchez and even then I'd simply sit the fight out instead of betting against him.

    You telegraphed your "money incubator" shot with the Petri dish but still effective.

    The most recent 60 Minute Sports piece on the Jackson Wink gym (Holly Holmes) in Albuquerque was great.

    Greg Jackson plays yoda.

    The thread of the piece was staying calm as a coach when the athlete is already ramped up (been getting face kicked for 5 minutes). Additional yelling is a negative. Excellent.

    Also I think Ive said this before but although I fully believe there is value in Nate's line, Im going to hedge a little with Conor ko/tko rd1.

    Conor saying his dream fioght is versus himself explains that dude perfectly.

    interesting twist to the house gate for 196. Show sold out right away with RDA-Conor on top, but all from secondary market buyers, who paid more than anyone for any ufc tix ever, pretty much. However, because of the fact all the Irish fans had already traveled so much the year before, and because this is like the 50th vegas card of the year already, they were screwed, and trying to off the tix at fractions of the face value.

    Then the main event changed, and so did the luck of the resellers, because they could now get refunds instead of taking a bath.
    Needless to say, this event is no longer a sellout.
