you do understand that -500 means that you are giving Lee 83.3% and historically 82% of the fighters within -400~-567 have won. Hmm.. that is a tough pill to swallow. I advocate Lee but not at -500. Even current line of -310 is far too hyped. Needs to come down to -200 or so.
didn't you just learn how to do the math yourself 1 day ago???
No need to be abrasive here. I think you misread the intent of my post. It wasn't to sound like a condescending douche. I apologize if it did.
Lee is a better top control player than Khabib, and probably beats him head to head via being a very similar athlete, having a better gastank and being able to get top position. Khabib probably beats more guys in the top 15 than Lee, but Lee's got a ton of advantages straight up.
I'll take Lee as a dog to Khabib quite happily.
But what about their win/loss patterns?
Full respect that what MMA Oracle's been doing for like... 4 events now seems to be working so far, but it's incoherent, insane and at best just random noise in the data.
Hooker just feels like he'll give Barboza a range striking battle that maximizes Barboza's chance of looking great. Barboza just went in against 2 pure pressure fighters, whilst Hooker's meanwhile's honestly had a fairly weak strength of schedule at LW. Pearson is eh and was giving him a competitive striking match till he got caught, Diakiese was giving him a competitive match despite being unwilling to pull the trigger, Miller looked horrific in there and Burns is the only win I'd really rate of the 4.
LOL. It has worked so far for Oracle tho, so why not? If it works it works
Yeah I agree with what you're saying but I'd be scared to bet against Hooker right now. I tried with Burns and failed. There were plenty of reasons to think Burns was going to win that fight, it just shows how good Hooker is. No one has ever done anything like that to Burns.
Sounds good to me. I'm gonna hedge my 2u bet on al. after watching the first fight once more, it's clear that lee is a different fighter now and should win.
I didn't know that. Good for him. I can't remember fighter who went there and got worse, all of them improve their game, even if it is by a little bit.
Fighter's get worse all the time when they go to ATT, not saying ATT is the only reason they get worse but it happens. I think it's great when young prospects go to train at ATT but I don't share the same enthusiasm when a vet like Barboza joins the team, weird move at this point of his career. Barboza had been with Mark Henry and Ricardo Almedia for so many years while living in New Jersey. Now at 32 years old after a couple brutal losses he think it's time to go join ATT, like that is going to make anything better.I didn't know that. Good for him. I can't remember fighter who went there and got worse, all of them improve their game, even if it is by a little bit.
I never liked Barbosa. Always rooted against him. Still remember his awful to watch fight with King Green... He is one of the most boring fighters I can name in the UFC now. When he lose he is not boring, tho. When he wins it's circle circle circle, kick - repeat. His boxing is atrocious. Ok, maybe not that bad, but it's not a highlight of his skills. If he was even a tiny bit dangerous with his hands it could set up his kicks very well and he be headkicking people into oblivion left and right. Very athletic man, but will never be something more than a gatekeeper. Especially not picking and choosing his battles, who the fuck told him it's good idea to fight Lee right after Khabib?
