I’d say, there’s some value on Vinny.

not a lot of upset potential on this card…

bader can and just might beat bader, but thats not a huge underdog

Its a win-win! (or a lose-lose depending on if youre a pessimistic person..)

I like that line on MacDonald.

Just on conditioning/athleticism alone.

Can anybody in Flordia confirm how many cheeseburgers Gouveia has had this week?

I’d definitely lay down some money on Jason if I were a betting man. After his loss to Maia due to sheer stupidity (not saying he would have won if he kept it standing, but EVERYONE knew he’d lose on the ground), he looked like a man possessed in owning Lambert just a few weeks later. Sometimes a loss gets into a guy’s head, and he needs a big win to help get him over a hump. I think Macdonald is over that hump now.
