^ What's the line on Topuria? If it's anything crazy like 3.50 then you're like forced to bet on him because it's starting to go into price that's going to be +EV. Even if you lose, if the opportunity comes up again, the right move is to make the bet. :/
Per Unibet:
Volkanovski: 1.79
Topuria: 2.02
Pretty far from 3.5
I rarely bet nowadays but if it goes above 2.5 for Ilia, I probably will throw some quids on him. He's got what it takes to beat Volk, both in terms of physical abilities and mentality.
So what is the recent news re UFC 300? Google search is showing some weird things for Gaethje Vs Holloway. It's not clear if the fight is confirmed or canceled.
I must be quite behind as I had no clue they were matched against eachother
Yup I took a peek a couple of hours ago... And I really think those odds are pretty good for Volk. The books could be putting too much weight on his last loss vs Makhachev which Volk took on short notice hence saving the event. Volk during interviews also seemed to give hints that he got paid well for it, saying that he has now enough to take care of his daughter and setting her up for life.
Now that he got that out of the way, he'll prolly now focus on himself and focusing on retiring as one of the best 145 champions in history.
As for Gaethje vs Holloway, afaik it's still on. Check Tapology.
