Another successful night of betting for me this year, other than 297 and the dolidze vs imavov card I’ve hit parlays on every other card thankfully

I don't think Dana plans around what's fair or not ever. If Volk was younger sure maybe. It's also worth keeping in mind that Volk for as great as he is rarely finishes people. So you've got a 35 year old former champ that rarely finishes people on a back to back KO loss streak.
I don't see anything there to make Dana salivate about a rematch.

It's gonna be DDP vs Izzy. Bareman already sorta gave it away, but Volk teasing it solidified it

Ilia will reign for a long time. Especially if Gaethje cracks Max’s chin like Islam cracked Volk’s.

I just know that one week from now I will be walking in my house felling happy about something and then I will remember the unconcious body of volk in the cage and my smile will fade away.

This **** sucks alot but I understand that it comes with the sport and that this strong emotion is also what makes it amazing when my favorite fighters win. 

So congrats to ilia but also **** him.

Best card of the year for me, but I feel sad for Volk. Still Ilia is going to be one of the best champs of all time

I think Ilia beats Max. Max is not at 100% of his all time best form, He hasn't fallen off much but he's at maybe 90% of what he was.
I still think Max regrets being at 155 right about now as he'd have a clearer path to a title shot there after tonight.

never thought I'd see volk get brutally ko'd twice in a row tbh. I had a bad feeling, that's why I picked Ilia, but dang I didn't want to see volk lose at 145 like this. 😢

I hit a pretty safe one earlier with maverick decision, Barlow ML, Lemos ML and merab by decision, then hit a bit of a long shot there with lee vs maverick over 2.5, Rinya ML, Lemos ML, Merab vs Henry over 2.5, Neal vs Garry over 1.5, Costa vs Whittaker over 2.5 and then topuria by finish. 
Happy anyway but knowing my luck I’ll hit nothing over the next 4 cards, I don’t spend too much on my parlays though never usually more than €20 for my safe ones and 10 for my longer riskier ones 

"Ohhhh he’s hurt!!!"

Holy **** that's some long parlays. If I try my hand at parlays I never do more than 2 or 3 leggers.

Main event has been announced it's Pereira vs Hill. Why not do it at 301 in Brazil?
