There’s no value in Suarez on the money line if you’re gonna bet Suarez, then you’re better off going Suarez by sub/Zhang by decision -125

@@glengippe5122 you should stop gambling. Please.

[@ImissGoldie]

I already went Weili by decision couple days ago I see a split decision

[@TheMegaBucks]

I always laugh at comments like this. And if Suarez wins by decision or ground and pound? There is "no value" on picking a loser

[@glengippe5122]

@@TheMegaBucks that’s OK I’m willing to take that chance because I think there’s a greater chance that Zhang wins by decision then there is Suarez winning by KO or or decision that’s just my opinion and that’s a great thing about America. We all get to have our own opinions and where we and where we think personally the value isand personally I think there’s more value going this way but that’s my opinion.

[@PickemMMA]

Izzy had a downfall cause he lost to Imavov lol of course now everyone gonna say this. Or maybe Imavov is just that good

[@lilPerc30]

Izzy has been going to lots of decisions the last few years besides Alex ko and always juiced lines stressing. After losing to Strickland is when his downfall started drinking all the time and the lead up to that fight. The books juiced Izzy live vs ddp and imavov just to get subbed and tko 🤦

[@lilPerc30]

I really wish we had live scoring after each round because it's kind of corrupt how the live odds are and +400 in round 3 wins by decision

[@Enlightenment246]

No excuses for Strickland please, his a loser with or without staf.

If he ain't on antibiotics he'll be alright
