Barry I will only hit the like if you have an 1800 number I can physically call to get the picks. Picks must be over a recording
 
I like this Israel guy seems very intelligent and turned down the UFC for two years.

He seems awesome. If his wrestling + cardio are solid, he has a legit shot of becoming a contender

I'm not concerned about his cardio. He's had 80 kickboxing fights plus 11 MMA fights he will be very comfortable in there plus he fights very loose. Wrestling is of course a concern.

Kickboxing rounds only 3 mins, and in his 5 round fight vs Jason Wilnis he started stronger than he finished. And he has never been past round 2 in MMA.

I don't expect it to be a major issue, but it could be worse than expected. Don't think anybody expected Saki to gas so fast.

Saki throws bombs and it was his mma debut outside a loss 10 yrs ago. Israel is far more calculated and has 11 mma fights i dont expect an issue.
 
So this is the same Israel that got taken down and his back taken by a way out of shape blown up Guillard. And the guy is near -400

Now that I think about is, didn’t he also say, that he had a contract he had to finish too? Could be combination of those two, but he did loose his two last kickboxing fights. I don’t know if he lost motivation for his kickboxing career because he was commited for MMA or if he got commited to MMA only after losing two Glory fights in a row. I’m not fully buying his self hype yet, but I do think he’s a smart guy with lots of potential.

I thought Guillard looked pretty sharp until Israel easily shook him off.

I wouldn't say he got taken down. He forward rolled out of a single leg attempt and as he stood up Melvin jumped on his back and Israel effortlessly shook it off. I think people are reading too much into this. Israel then proceeded to beat the shit out of him. He will justify his -300 price tag with a ballet of violence on Sat.

Last 2 UFC events I've provided free picks

+11.35 Units

Not gonna lie. Subscribers to Barry's handicapping service are pissed I'm offering so many freeplays. Gonna have to reign in the number of free picks I offer. Hold up though. Still gonna give my Sherdog peeps a few gems here n there. Have my place as the premier handicapping legend here. Make no mistake that there's not another handicapper that can go toe to toe with the great 1. #gretzky

Ya'll know the drill. 20 likes and I do what I do like no other i.e BANG WINNERS
Will cap the entire UFC 221 card if the like threshold is met. I extract value and I make money in the long run. It don't get any simpler than that folks.

So the event is happening tomorrow, Saturday right? My sportsbook (bovada) says it’s happening Friday night as in tonight.

Watching the fight the 2nd time, I think Abe was heavily affected by that eye poke. He dove right forward into Lim's outstretched finger. He tried to buy himself a few minutes to recover and only when the ref seemed to imply that he better get in there or the fight's over did he reluctantly agree to fight. It's no coincidence that pre-poke Lim had nothing for him and post-poke Lim landed a ton of right hands to that side of Abe's face.

After UFC debut jitters, I think Abe will look better this time around. Also Jumeau doesn't seem to have much upside. He was getting tagged with strikes by Shinzo Anzai.

I just got around to watching tape on Luke Jumeau/Abe Daichi.

I like Abe Daichi in this fight especially if it stays on the feet. I can see a really strong grappler giving Daichi problems since he should be really fighting at lightweight but on the feet Daichi is going to give Jumeau a lot of problems. Jumeau leaves his hands low and chin up, his work rate isn't to good either. Significant strikes landed per minute just under 3 for Jumeau and over 4 for Daichi. Abe is going to have a speed advantage going into the fight and I was impressed he was able to get on the inside striking with Lim especially since Lim had a big reach advantage 77" inch to 71.5' inch and some of the shots he was able to take from Lim. I don't see Jumeau's path to victory in this fight unless he is able to get Daichi down and submit him but Daichi is pretty good at fighting at range in general.

Daichi's price has gotten a little bit expensive now at around -150 but if this stays on the feet, he should win.

Did some tape study on ishi vs quinon. Right from the start I liked quinonez, but I def can see the angle to bet teruto, which I did +162, 1 u.
Quinonez didn't look that great vs Rivas, and I'm predicting it will be close.

Only got blaydes, blaydes decision and Romero so far

It starts at the same time as usual.

Australians are adjusting their schedule to please American fans.
 
My guy I usually bet through doesn't have the lines up and Im guessing he won't be doing the event which I'm not happy about. Is there any site I can just use my CC instead of having to buy Bitcoins? I'm in USA.
 
Kim/Brown fight to end with ko/tko +240 on unibet, good line imo

5Dimes or Bookmaker would be your top choices
 
Reduced lines out:

Li -145 is gold
Quin and Abe at -145 and -140 respectively each hold value as well imo
 
How do you guys feel about Li Jingliang wins inside the distance +200. Great price imo

Yep like it. I'm splitting my pre fight action on Li ML and itd. 70% on ML and 30% on the itd prop.
