Why is Khamzat such a huge favorite over Paulo? (Update: Cashed out bet)

they weren’t cans and no one has ever done what Khamzat has done in the UFC.

They were though. Journeymen.

The first decent fighter he fought was Burns. And he took a lot of damage in that fight and it was a close decision.

@dog y
Betfair is also a really good one

You're betting against other people not the house, so the odds are better.

That's an interesting concept. Sounds fun. Huge fan bases should be fun to bet against. I'll take Costa and Charlie... maybe make some more parlays. I've just been out of the loop, but still got a few days to make educated bets.

There is also a reason why Canfats blue belt ass, wanted that friendly exhibition fight to be wrestling and no submission wrestling…

What exhibition fight? Enlighten us

The size difference will be huge, I'm curious to see how Khamzat will deal with this. Can't wait for the fight, crazy that Costa is being considered such a huge underdog

A MW vs a LHW.
It will be nice to see Khamzat get a taste of his own medicine.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I definitely lean Khamzat, hard lean, but betting Costa is a low risk, high reward bet. The thought of Costa winning isn't really that crazy. Good luck, bettors.

Translated: Khamzat is living off his performances pre Burns.

Post Burns he's looked meh, missed weight, and I don't think he really takes his career seriously.

I hope not.
But it does seem a long time ago when he fought three times in 66 days.

What "like Khamzat"? He's starched everyone he's beaten except for Gilbert, and even then, he still won a convincing decision. People like to discredit that win because he got dropped, like Gilbert didn't do the same thing against Kamaru..

You either need to make a better point or clarify yourself better playboy.

i thought gilbert won that fight. it was close no doubt, gilbert seemed the fresher fighter at the end

Seems like the majority had it scored for Khamzat. Watching it real time I thought it was clear as day that Khamzat won, but Gil still did a great job not making it a complete blowout.

Cause Costa sucks

Khamzat is going to manhandle Costa lol

 

[dmwalking]

He's currently a -400 favorite

Paulo is big and proven at MW with good takedown defense/striking

Chimaev struggled against former 155lb Burns who got beat by Belal

Am I missing something?

grappling advantage.

I would be super happy if that guy came back.

 

[kingJohn]

I'm not crowning him champion, I'm just saying he'll probably get through Costa with relative ease.

Nah tbh

I actually agree with you. That said it will be nice to see Khamzat have to deal with a person that is too big for his weight class, the same way he did to others at WW.

 

[Poatan Power]

I don't see Khamzat manhandling Costa. He has good TDD and is huge. I guess we'll see how good his TDD is because if Khamzat tries that Burns shit with Costa I think he gets smoked.

Willing to take a 4 year AV bet that costa doesnt make it out the 1st round.
