Could be worth another strategy to multibet since so much is on the line for a lot of the matches. I might go for multibet of 3 or 4 main favorites (but not heavy ones), one more multibet of 3 main must-win matches, and 3 separate singles on upsets.

$5 USDT on each so $15 USDT, for a small weekend of entertainment

Maybe put a multibet on 3 favorites and 1 underdog. Because usually there is atleast one who sneaks in a win against a heavy favorite in every one of these main events.
If they didn't then vegas would be paying out everyone huge winnings each and every weekend for these UFC events.

Watching the press conference and Cannonier is my heavy underdog to win. He is 4.60x last time I checked the odds on him earlier in the day. Those will definitely change closer to when the fight happens.
Tomorrow are the weigh-ins so will see if anyone misses weight again. Of course I doubt they will have any strange things happen like losing a belt or something weird like that.
From all these press conferences and interviews before the fights, Strickland is just the worst and I hope Alex knocks him out early because he is the loudest mouth and has said the dumbest things so far. Where even the one who isn't even fighting got into an argument with him on stage (Adesanya).

It is all hype to get people to pay for those PPVs to watch it all go down on Saturday night.
We all know the drill.

3 favorites and 1 underdog I see as dangerous because ONE favorite will fail,,, unless you use all 3 with something like 1.1 anything more is too dangerous for me in any bet. Failed all the time 

And in this round, there is no 1.1 the biggest is only Adesanya and that is just 1.18, Cannonier only 3.95, so it is quite a tough one.

In the end I went for this. I never bet decimal amount before, since this is USDT,,, I try something different!

[rdbase]

I do the one underdog strategy because of the mentality of high risk high reward.
It is only one-leg so might as well go for the best case scenario.
The only problem is selecting which one will fail in their bout.

The odds for Cannonier must of declined significantly. But I will still stick with him as he is the most level headed fighter on the card and doesn't make himself out to be what he is not.
Like what Adesanya is always trying to do. And that was his downfall in having this blemish on his record losing to Blachowicz.

Not such good fortune for me this UFC, I tried to do a bit different other than 1/2 bets and went for handicaps and rounds but missed out on 2 of the games so a failed multibet. Almost got the insurance back but anyway, nice try enough for me.

Too bad about Cannonier, I think you were right about him wanting to try get the submission which made Israel super careful.

A win is a win though right?

[rdbase]

Believing in Cannonier cost a win 75x betslip for the weekend but it was on a free bet of usdt so nothing lost but it was a fun to do.

Had only three incorrect over all so most of the favorites won except for the very first fight of the night with Rose Clark and Sugar O got ended due to an eye poke.

[rdbase]

UFC ESPN 39 are in the works for the weekend after two successful main events for PPV in a row.
The excitement is still there after those have finished so those who are wanting more are in for a treat with Rafael dos Anjos vs. Rafael Fiziev.

[rdbase]

Fights are about to begin for the night of the event for ESPN.
But it looks like we have a bout cancellation even before it starts.

Cynthia Calvillo vs. Nina Nunes is not going to happen due to non-covid related illness of one of the fighters.
Still this fight night is going to another one to watch!

Good luck to those who have bets on any of the bouts like I do.

[leea-1334]

Oh man so awesome, I just won the UFC prediction contest,,, first place I mean, Harkorede and tomahawk09 also won it.

Actually this time was a bit random I chose 4 or 5 favorites oddswise and the rest I selected all the names on the LEFT side. Which leads me to ask this question, left side is usually the defender and right side is the challenger,,, am I correct? Or they mean nothing?

[rdbase]

@leea-1334 A huge congratulations to you on the win for the weekly competition in the UFC!

Thank you,,, and here it is all wasted on stupid dumb football games  

The funny thing actually is the second bet was settled yesterday and the Bodo/Glimt match was voided, I was not sure of the reason why. And I got 1.06 mbtc. But today it was settled again and of course they lost, so I got nothing. It was very fun however

[rdbase]

@leea-1334 oh wow sounds like a betslip I had earlier today as well.
Hate those voided bets on a freebet because the odds get all screwed up and you get way less since the stake amount is subtracted from the total amount paid out.

Anyways we move on to the next match.

While looking for some information about the next matchup for UFC 278/279 look who I found.
My all time favorite fighter had a fan-made movie on how they made their rise in the ranks to where he is today:
KHAMZAT CHIMAEV - THE MOVIE
https://youtu.be/4UgNzRy7RKs

An interesting title I know, but very informative and it shows all his fight finishes so far in the octagon.

[rdbase]

What a way to lose the main event with a dislocated shoulder.
I believe Ortega has had several of his matches end in a strange and unsatisfying way like this.
With him not being able to finish the fight it ended in a technical knockout (TKO) by Yair.

Alot of Ortega bettors were of course very upset with this result but he had surgery on that very same shoulder.
The way he was locked into that armbar and then tried to pull himself out of it pulled the shoulder out of it's socket and he knew it was over.

@leea-1334 I had only 1 selection right in the predictions contest. My worst result yet for this weekly competition.
So we all have these droughts in the UFC.
When they go wrong they really go wrong.

Another summertime UFC main event this time in London.
We have most of the usuals from the last one they held in the O2 arena back on March:

[leea-1334]

Already entered my predictions for this round thank you again jeremypwr and Sportsbet for hosting this,,, I stuck to my new tradition for the last 2 rounds,,, which is picking 3 or 4 favorites and then mostly going for the selection which I believe is the defender. Still I do not know if this is really the case (fighter on the left I see as defender) but let us see how that goes.

London is supposed to be 40 degrees, are these arenas using aircon?

[rdbase]

Shown on the left of the betting screen doesn't have them as a 'defender' or the challenger when it comes to showing them on the betting odds either.
Title defenders can be the favorite or the underdog on any card. This has been seen time and time again.
But if that strategy works for you then by all means go for it then.

The weigh-ins for the fights today, by the ways begins in about 4-5 hours from now since they are in the UK.
Also about the heat, they have fought in Abu dhabi several times which reaches 40 degrees all the time, so they should be alright in London.

I can't believe nobody is talking about Paddy the Baddy teabagging his opponent after the win.  That guy was talking all sorts of trash about how he was going to beat Paddy and then twerk over his unconscious body.  Absolutely hilarious that Paddy won and then teabagged him.  "Modern Warfare 2" I had to laugh.  Paddy was even disappointed with his performance, but the teabag will live on for quite some time I'm sure.  I can't wait to see Paddy fight again.  He may be my new favorite.  This doesn't even mention the guy had a body transformation before this fight that you have to see to believe.  His weight loss should be getting him endorsements, although I'm sure it was all a mental thing for him.

Yeah another main event on the card getting a technical knockout by the fighter getting injured so they could not continue on with the fight.
This one only took a whole 15 seconds into the first round. So alot of people didn't even have a chance to sit down to watch the fight before it was over.
Disappointing way to lose but the same thing happened to Oretga last week except it was by a pulled shoulder instead of a twisted knee or whatever happened to Aspinall's leg in the fight. It happened so fast even Blaydes didn't even know what happened to his opponent going to ground like that at first.

The highlight of the night was the Paddy the Baddy fight. He did mention during the press conference what he was going to do when he won.
And that was tea bag him, so that's what he did. It was disrespectful but he is a show man so what else is to be expected?
Forgot what game he mentioned he would be doing it from. Thought it was fortnite but it must of been from MW2. That was a great game for it's time.

Heard Sugar show will be fighting in the next UFC main event. He just fought last month but had that finger poke incident so I guess he wanted to have a real fight and to have it sooner than later.

Understood now,,, finally got an answer after asking all around. I know it makes no difference to most people but for me there is a bit of superstition appearing on the left, I must know there are reasone behind it,,, and this is not about favorite or underdog, simply challenger/defender

I honestly cannot know which is worse, saying you will twerk over an unconscious body or getting teabagged yuck.

Not sure where you heard that but looks like O’Malley is fighting Petr Yan in October so be surprised if he takes on another fight before that.
