UFC Noché ~ 306 🤼

[mrpickem]

Big card at the Sphere should be a unique experience for those in attendance. Surprising to me, is there's only 10 fights on the card. Can't remember any numbered event with less than 12, so I don't understand the low number. Several top bouts, but not really over the top like 299 & 300. Really hope Ortega is on so we can see what Diego really has.




Unfortunately I endured another crappy week last card and have now logger 4 of last 5 cards losing money. Time to right this ship, LET'S FUCKIN GO!

UFC 306 - OMALLEY VS DVALISHVILI​

@ THE SPHERE - LAS VEGAS, NV

Lone Early Prelim:​

• 3/1.88 Raul Rosas Jr wins by submission -160
• 3/1.40 RAUL ROSAS JR IN ROUNDS 1 OR 2 -215

Aoriqileng (25-11) will look to set the tone early, pushing pace and maybe getting just a bit overzealous. Rosas Jr(9-1) is likely poised to capitalize with a takedown and transition to the back with a probably RNC to follow, probably in round one. If somehow the "Mongolian Murderer" does escape to 2nd/3rd rounds, this could be a real upset possibility. I'll roll with the early finish.

Prelims:​

• 3/1.97 CHAIREZ / VAN o2½ -152
• 4.50/2 Yazmin Jauregui points handicap -3½ -225

​

• Van may not be a finisher, but he will have more output and will out strike Chairez for the likely decision win.
• Jauregui is the superior striker but Souza will look to stay in close using her strength and dirty boxing to limit Yazmin's skills. Ultimately that will work for a round maybe, then the talent will show through.

Prelims:​

3/1.88 Raul Rosas Jr wins by submission -160
3/1.40 RAUL ROSAS JR IN ROUNDS 1 OR 2 -215
3/1.97 CHAIREZ / VAN o2½ -152

4.50/2 Yazmin Jauregui points handicap -3½ -225​

• 3/2.50 Manuel Torres -120
• 3.15/3 Norma Dumont -105

Torres & Bahamondes both go for it with very little backing up. Tossup fight and maybe even a FOTN candidate. I'm backing Torres mostly on a hunch.

3/3.30 Valentina Shevchenko +110​

• 5/5.25 Merab Dvalishvili +105

Odds been jumping all over the place on main event. I believe Merab is a terrible matchup for Seam with his granite chin and persistent cardio, he may try 40 or more takedowns. If Sean connects just right and finished him will be the only way this guy stops.

Card had been solid, Aldana,; what a warrior with that cut and still coming hard, "Lazy Boy" just plain refusing to give up and that Ribovac fight was unreal war. Brian gave a good account of himself, but was still dominated by the new breed which Diego personifies!

After a tough 1-4 start, I managed a decent finish to log another winning night.
