Another stack up match from UFC. Here's my prediction for those I have known fighters

Derrick Lewis vs.  Travis Browne (18-5-1) (Heavyweight) - I'll go with Travis Browne.
Johny Hendricks  vs.  Hector Lombard (34-6-1) (Middleweight) - Difficult to pick. But I put my money on Hendricks
Sara McMann  vs.  Gina Mazany (4-0) (Women's Bantamweight) - Easy work for Sara McMann

[DarkDays]

Here's the only logic I'm using:

Travis Browne's coach is Edmund Tarverdyan.  

Edmund Tarverdyan is a horrible MMA coach.

Therefore, I'm betting large against him.  

[Hydrogen]

Elias Theodorou, Sara McMann and Carla Esparza might be good picks here.

A lot of the names on the undercard have never fought in the UFC event, which could make it difficult to know how good they are.

I think for this fight, Travis Browne did most of his training at blackhouse -- a different MMA gym from Edmond tarverdyan's glendale fight club gym.

Edmond was supposed to have visited once a week to train Travis for this fight but Travis didn't train with Edmond as much as he did for his last few fights.

There is also a bellator event, Matt Mitrione vs Fedor Emelianenko, a day before FN 105.

[krach]

fade Edmund!

Lewis

not great odds but I see Mc Mann and Esparza getting the W

not 100% sure yet but ill prob fade Hendricks too

There is also a bellator event, Matt Mitrione vs Fedor Emelianenko, a day before FN 105.

I am looking forward to the Bellator main event and it is a fought fight for the legend Fedor Emelianenko ,if he is to come up with a performance like he did against Fábio Maldonado then Matt Mitrione will knock him out cold .
Derrick Lewis vs Travis Browne is a tough fight to call as Travis Browne is not at his best and Derrick is knocking people out and if he connects then its good night for Browne ,have to wait till the weigh ins to make a decision.

Yes of course! Edmund Tarverdyan is a fraud and is now exposed all over the world as one. Why did Ronda Rousey still hire him as her head coach for the fight versus Amanda Nunes? Maybe he has charisma and is very good in scamming. He will make a good founder for altcoins.

My prediction, Derrick Lewis will KO Travis with a haymaker.

Edmund Tarverdyan is not a good MMA coach but he is a good striking coach ,if you look at his profile he is very well versed in Karate, Tae-Kwon-Do, Wushu, Kung-Fu San-Shou, Draka, Shootboxing, Muay-Thai, and Boxing and competed in national and international matches throughout his career. The problem is that it not that really hard to teach the basics of striking to a judoko but cannot be the best in it and that is what happened when you are facing a professional boxer like Holmes who boxed throughout her career then it is a different ball game.

[bbc.reporter]

@eaLiTy. If he was a good striking coach he should have taught Ronda to move her head, to dodge and weave and not to be someone's punching bag. He should have made Ronda at least have a fighting chance versus Holly or Amanda Nunes. With Travis Browne look ar his win/loss column after he left his former fight camp and transferred to Edmund. I see red.

[krach]

Derrick Lewis - touchs browne,s chin, night night  - even if we see the old browne with footwork, Lewis will test his chin at some point.
Hector Lombard - I am not convinced Hendricks´mind is in the fight game, Lombard has good wrestling, they should cancel each other out and this turns into a stand up fight.
Randa Markos - At first look I was going to pick Esparza  but I watched her last fight again. She doesnt like being hit in the face, after the Joanna fight and getting destroyed, I dont think she is the same. Esparza has some of the best take downs in her divison, but that is it. Markos has some solid wrestling and alltough she has made some fighter IQ mistakes in some of ther past fights, including pulling guard and going for a sub when she should just seperate and keep it standing, she is game for trading blows. She gets in people´s face and will take one to give one, this with wrestling doesnt match up with Esparza well , Esparza would perfer to just lay and pray wrestlefuck for 3 rounds. I dont think Markos is going to let that happen.

Those are my picks Ill make a video tomorrow.

@krach. Derrick Lewis odds is moving up. Are the majority of smart bettors fading Derrick Lewis in favor for Travis? The last time I looked the odds are almost 50 - 50. Is it a good time to get in on Derrick or should I wait for it to move more?

Yes please post your video as soon as you can. Thank you.

I dont think there will be a huge move in odds either way. I am not waiting on any moves for this card.
You can also space out your bets and stake half now half later if you think it might move in your favor.

It is easy to teach someone something and the student have to replicate and do that in a real fight situation and these are different things altogether and in this case Ronda Rousey have to make things work, as a coach you can provide the best tips and build a confidence level ,but the only thing i don't accept about Edmond was when he said Ronda could box with anyone and she even defeats world class boxers while sparring.Initially i said Edmond is not a good MMA coach but he is a good striking coach and that is what made Travis Browne loose his creativity and movement and MMA is all about creativity and movement.

[Clement Kaliyar]

The main event is a tough match up.Travis Browne is on a losing streak after getting to 13 matches without a loss and Derrick Lewis is a real beast in the heavy weight division as he has 15 knockout victories out of 17 wins which is scary but the problem with Lewis is that he gasses out soon and i am not convinced with his split decision over Roy Nelson as both were really sloppy in that match.

Good idea. I will do the half now and then half later betting strategy next time. Sometimes I become irritated when I bet early and the odds change and go higher a day after usually when I bet on the underdog.

I also watched the video and read your recommendations. I will follow you once again on the Randa Markos bet. Do you see the same mispricing here like the Felice Herrig bet?

@eaLiTy . If Edmund says that Ronda can box with anyone then it shows that there is something wrong with that head of his. He made Ronda think that and look what happened versus Amanda Nunes. Is that a good striking coach to you?

[tokeweed]

Here's a couple of videos that feature Browne and Lewis.  I'm honestly not really sure on who to bet on in the main event and I might abstain and pass for now.  I think Browne will do well in this fight tho, dunno just a feeling I got seeing that Lewis has not really fought anyone competent enough to be and be able to stay in the top 10.  Anyway here are the videos.

Here's a funny quote from Lewis:

“(Next I want) Mark Hunt, (Alistair) Overeem – everyone in the top 10, top five,” Lewis said. “Whatever. Give me the belt after this. That’s my plan. These guys getting popped left and right with steroids and anal beads. We’ll see what happens.”

Let me tell you one thing bud,sparring inside a gym and doing every thing right is one thing and replicating that same performance in a real fight inside the cage is a different thing. Edmund was really hyping and the entire UFC roaster was hyping her as the best pound for pound and everyone was neglecting the real pound for pound Cyborg. She was winning matches with Judo throws and arm bars and if you look at her match against Bethe Correia where she tried to box and if you look closely Ronda ate many punches in that 34 second knockout and never expect to stand in front of heavy hitting boxers they will knock you out and so is the reason i would complain Edmond,rather than focusing on her core strength they focus on striking and we saw the results.

[bbc.reporter]

@eaLiTy. Does that say that Edmund is a good striking coach for you? You keep saying that he is a good striking coach but not a good MMA coach then what business does he have coaching in MMA? He is a fraud and all the other MMA coaches knows this. Amanda Nunes did not shake his hand after their fight because she was disgusted with what he was doing to Ronda.

That is the problem he is facing right now,if you spar at a MMA gym there are several coaches,a coach for striking,wrestling,BJJ and so on. Edmond just focus on striking and if you are a good coach they will concentrate on an individuals core strength that is Judo and grappling in the case of Rousey and instead of that he focuses solely on striking from what i understand and so is the reason everyone is mad at him.

[HaXX0R1337]

@ eaLiTy so what are you trying to tell here,in normal conditions a MMA gym consist of many different coaches and what ever it may be Edmond is a bad coach,If not you could not see these sort of performance from Ronda Rousey who was once considered the best MMA athlete and Travis Browne who keep on loosing his fights under him.
