I just cancelled my Vegas trip, with the NCAAT being done and all other sports being done as well as poker rooms shutting down no need to go. This sucks.

I cancelled mine a couple days ago. Was supposed to leave Tuesday. Not really sure what to make of this situation. Whatever I guess.

There's some good matchups tonight in Brazil.

Kevin Lee vs Oliveira is very good fight, Lee coming off a good W vs Gillespie, but the last Brazilian he fought he got caught in a Triangle vs Dos Anjos. Lee typically doesn't do well vs guys that are well versed in BJJ & Oliveira is a Black belt BJJ practioner on a 6 fight win streak.

The thing about Oliveira is whenever he's fought really good talent he usually loses, he's a highly experienced guy with 28 wins, but al of his losses are vs guys like Holloway, Pettis, Cub Swanson & Cowboy Cerrone.

I wouldn't bet on this fight, for me personally I can never get a read on Kevin Lee, he's a good fighter but he's also a loud mouth who's overrated. He has the power to beat Oliveira but if it goes to the ground I give Oliveira the edge.

Idk who's winning that fight lol. I usually go for the Brazilians when they're at home but Idk this fight is a toss up imo.

The two fights I'm most looking forward to seeing is Demian Maia vs Gilbert Burns & Johnny Walker vs Nikita Krylov.

Johnny Walker is an explosive fighter, he had a 9 fight win streak until he lost his last fight bs Corey Anderson. He usually overwhelms his opponents super early in the fight & gets a lot of 1st round stoppages & KO's, he's a big 6'6 freakish fighter with long reach & explosive elbows & flying knees. But Corey Anderson figured him out, he's a guy that if you can withstand his initial burst of the first 30-50sec in the first round he's vulnerable.

Krylov lost his last fight to Teixeira, he RNC'd Ovince Saint Preux but got Triangled by Blachowicz. He's a good stand up fighter with a Black belt in Kyokushin but I don't think he can deal with Johnny Walker. Styles make fights & this will be an interesting one. Krylov rarely gets KO'd, but I think Walker can get the stoppage this fight, I'd be shocked if Krylov pulled off the upset. I will say, if Krylov can make it out of the 1st round he has a good shot because Walker normally doesn't fight past the 1st round.

Demian Maia is a master 4th degree Black belt BJJ practioner & ADCC Gold medalist, literally one of the best BJJ practioners in the world, comes from the Gracie clan tutelage & was taught by Fabio Gurgel. He's an assassin strangler.

Gilbert Burns is a really good grappler as well, 2nd degree Black belt BJJ & multi time world BJJ champion & gold medalist at Abu Dhabi.

I got Maia getting the submission. The only time Maia loses is when he goes up against an uber talented fighter that can stop his takedowns, otherwise, if/when he gets you on the ground it's a wrap.

Fantastic insight! Thanks, brother. Glad I put up the bat signal.

You have to risk money and a half to bet Lee. I'm going to follow your advice and stay away from that one.

Walker fight making it past round 1 is +145. Sounds like he usually doesn't, but if he's facing a tough opponent tonight who doesn't get KO'd often, I may take a stab at money and a half on that.

I gotta think ESPN+ will have a massive audience tonight!
 
Krylov got the W.

He put together a good strategy, he just completely gassed Walker out & didn't allow him the chance to fight standing up. He took him down & just layed on him for 3 rounds & Walker was completely out of it after the 1st round, he has no lungs whatsoever.

****!

Burns just caught Maia with mean left hook & stunned him, he got the stoppage.

You called that fight to a T, man. Sounds like he withstood the initial flurry and then suffocated him on the ground. Thanks again for the tips! Was nice to get a cash on Dead Sports Day.
 
I figure this board can appreciate this Kevin Hart story about gambling in Vegas, the actual story starts around 2:00 and is hilarious... very relatable
