Call me crazy, but .... for some reason, I actually believe that Mendes got popped as a result of his Psoriasis cream.
In the limited recent pictures I've seen of him, hes still a tank.
It’s not like he’s been in the testing pool for the last three years
ATM I'm at:
zingano 1/1
said 5/8
JDS 10/17
Jury 7/5
Parlay total is 11/1
What do you mean? You don't get tested while being out on suspension?
Are you implying he could be juiced?
As if that would be a bad thing for Mendes backers?
Please elaborate.
That's because elite WFLW fighters were in UFC WBW division at that point.wasn't Maia like the greatest WFLW in the world at one point?
Thoughts after watching brown vs gall:
Brown took gall down in rd 1. That’s low fight iq anyway you slice it. Clear 9advantage standing and clear ground discrepancy.
Gall not nearly as good off his back. Doesn’t try to get up. Doesn’t work much with his legs or use butterfly guard. Was tired in rd3 and couldn’t get anything going.
Brown did have some gnp success on top but got absolutely tooled from his back after he got swept in rd 2. He got briefly crucifixed and was mounted for a second but managed to quickly slip out underneath gall.
There’s no reason to think niko can’t take him down. He’s the stronger guy and his sub game is very aggressive. The takedown won’t come easy but I think he can get him there
He should also look to exploit Browns habit of circling left when he jabs
Both of them got handled pretty easily when they stepped up in competition against Muhammed and luque. Neither of them had an answer for leg kicks and niko was taken completely out of his game by them
So far I’m pretty comfortable playing niko at plus odds. I’d cap the fight at evens or niko being a very slight favorite
I'm pretty certain Myles Jury is going to win decisively. He's back with Alliance isn't he? Yeah, after this fight people will be high on Jury because of his strong performance. Like, montage level performance where Joe Rogan says something along the lines of "he made easy work of chad mendes who went punch for punch with some of the best fighters of all-time"
Post-USADA fighters are a huge question mark. For example, I would've max bet pre-usada renan barao against just about anyone but now I can't trust him against mid-tier competition. I don't trust chadworth

Took Price at even money, took Scoggins +130(was waiting for a better number but I decided to just add later), Barcelos at +155, Elkins +270(again was waiting but will add). Still waiting on Northcut and I bet Reneau at -115 but I'm not sure that was smart. Already took Mendes, JDS and Perez. Kinda mad Mendes at -150 now since bet him -170
Curious - how do you see Price beating Brown?
Excuse me but isnt Brown the guy that lost a round to Mickey Gall and was on his way to losing against...Erick Montano? I agree that this guy is def a very low IQ individual as well and I think Price is not a guy to get stupid with. Also I think Brown quits first under equal pressures.
People wanna ask what does Price do well? It's as if they thought Brown did something well.
EDIT: I see Price finishing Brown prob SUB but a KO wouldnt surprise me.
