MJ ain't gonna get you paid, he's as unreliable as it gets. Going 3-7 as a favorite is ridiculous. Just shows how over valued he is. The guy is not a winner and he's not consistent.It's not really about betting him as a favorite or not. That doesn't affect our personal analyses of the matchup itself. I was against him in most of his losses. I bet Gaethje but not Elkins. Elkins seems to try for subs more than Fili does, and he's shown us a lot more toughness. This matchup I see in MJ's favor, and I like that his recent record looks pretty poor because it pushes the odds more in my favor. 3-7 as a favorite means nothing to me compared to having an opponent who struggles against strong strikers and doesn't demonstrate a strong enough factor against MJ's main weaknesses.
Should be also worth mentioning that in two of those recent fights where he was a favorite, 1 he had his opponent nearly finished in the first, and 1 he probably got robbed in. I wouldn't want to bet on that again. And none of the others seem to compare to Fili at all.
MJ is clearly on the decline too and FW is probably a bad move. MJ has even said he doesn't know if he will stay there, the guy is full of doubt and who can blame him, my confidence would be in the gutter too if I lost as much as him.
He's taken massive damage in his career too and a lot in recent fights, Khabib tortured him Gaethje rekt him, career changing beatings . You should be trusting him less than ever at this point, its only downhill from here.
Fili keeps looking better and I see a lot of you underestimating him, anyone that can wrestle is going to give MJ problems. And MJ isn't going to dominate Fili on the feet either, it'll be competitive. Listen to Fili in recent interviews, he confident, he's motivated and for good reason, he's beginning to enter his prime.
MJ is going to lose again and provide another underdog pay day, that what he's about. He'll look good for about 5 minuttes and then begin to roll over. Fili ain't gonna roll over.
If you're betting MJ as a favorite at this point, you're asking for an L, just a fact.
