UFC Fight Night: Smith v Rakic (upcoming) / DWCS Thread

[BobLoblawBrah]

Excited early for this card bros, some great fights for a free card, including the prelims.

Anthony Smith, Robbie Lawler and Ion Cutelaba all +~200-250 underdogs on this card. One of these has to hit at least. Get in now.

Been waiting for this Cutelaba rematch for so long, lets hope no covid tests this week!

I've been following Rakic on IG since he KO'd Jimi Manuwa with one of the nastiest leg kicks known to mankind. He is super dedicated to training, does 140kg jumping hex bar deadlifts, squats ez 200 etc. He is an athletic beast granted a bit reckless.

Cutelaba is a wildcard, Lawler who knows. Magny has a lot of decision wins although Magnys fight IQ is off the charts compared to Robbie. I'd bet on Rakic, Ankalaev Magny combo tbh.

If I had to bet on an underdog it would be Cutelaba wildly KO-ing Ankalaev because it's 2 heavy guys banging in that cage, the other ones I'm pretty sure of.

I'd even go as far as

Ankalaev by KO
Magny by decision
Rakic by KO

Prelims if I was feeling risky, Pitolo has heavy as fuqq hands and Impa coming straight outta contender 2 weeks ago so I'd say Pitolo wins this one.

Other than that there's not much, Brady vs Aguilera is probably going to a decision as one is a Gracie Black Belt and the other is a 10th planet Brown Belt. Gonna say Brady by decision.

Caceres vs Chikadze, just because Caceres went to a decision with Chase Hooper I'm gonna say Chikadze takes this one but who knows how.

I'd be scared to bet on anything else as these names are not familiar at all.

I'm feeling like the most logical pick here would be Rakic, but Smith still dangerous with the hands.

Rakic is an athletic beast

[BobLoblawBrah]

Cutelaba is a nutcase and this fight has been cancelled 3 times, i just think he has got to be chomping at the bit for a 1r KO.

Magny is probably a fave over Lawler but he's not a finisher and he also floats between 3/10 and 10/10 performances so I just see a lot of value in lawler.

Rakic is explosive but a win over Smith must make him 1 or 2 contender for the belt cause Smith is right there too. A little unproven for me. Probably wins, but if he doesnt then it'll rain money.



Chikadze is an ultra confident striker too, I cant see Caceres beating him.

Pitolo might be done if he cant win this one. Too many quick fights, not enough getting better technically.

[Droopdx]

I got

Ankalev
Magny
Rakic

$24 for $57 return

Magny got reach on Lawler, and Lawler took this fight on short notice. Think Magny wants a good showing since his last fight was boring

Smith is just past his prime

This is pretty good.

I think you have the method of victory dead on for Magny and Rakic but I would not be so sure about Ankalaev getting the finish, Ankalaev doesn't throw a whole lot and he doesn't aggressively go after the KO, he lets it present itself but often, through kicks. Cutelaba is not likely to give him a the space need to throw kicks often, I think Cutelaba can take his Ankalaevs low volume punching over 3 rounds. The tap against Craig also makes me question his heart and determination.

I think Pitolo is a fraud, he has some skills but he's not a real fighter, you can tell he doesnt really want to be in there even before his UFC debut. I bet Potter to beat him as a pretty good dog.

I like Brady by DEC as well but there is another play I like here, Aguilera KO @ +800 or ITD @ +585

Caceres v Chikadze is a tricky one because Chikadze has gas tank issues and Caceres is a good striker who can avoid getting KOed. Chickadze is obv the better striker but he isn't going to blow Caceres out volume wise and he's not likely to get the KO, the 3rd round could be key here in Caceres winning a close decision or maybe getting a RNC finish on a gassed Chickadze. Chickadze's method of victory is DEC and it could be close. Fights off now though.

My plays on this card are Cutelaba, Smith, Martin and Grasso. I also played some props, Aguilera KO @+800, Lawler KO @+460 and Smith ITD @+450. ML is not good enough on Lawler imo.

Great post, on spread.


Impa x Lamas x Cummings x Cutelaba = $16

I'm so high on Cutelaba, for the 100th time, he's got that Paulo Costa edge, Ankalaev is real if he walks through him.

Rakic is a giant, ****.


Cringe Hanah Cifers must be fighting her last fight.

[iloveus]

Rakic vs Jon Jones

[nikeoneplatinum]

Cutelaba Ankalaev cancelled again.

If you love throwing money away bet on womens fights.

Then again I broke my rule and bet on this one as well, only one out of 6 parlays was cifers by KO money bet. Was too good not to try. Fortunately 4 lays still running on her to lose.

Yeah, thats a rule of mine as well but you know how that goes lol I usually avoid WMMA and I generally dont play heavy favs

This card was just so sparse I forced plays on Grasso and Martin. I regretted both plays immediately after making them lol

I've been on a killing spree lately so it's easy to get too loose, I'm going to tighten it up after the next card.

[AgentSkyhawk]

im rooting for hannah to get a W this year she been back to back in the cage like a mothafcuka lol

[IPoopStandingUp]

night off to a good start with these womens fights being entertaining

Cutelaba Ankalaev cancelled again.

IDK how much longer I can track this fkn fight.

[zhengterry]

strong one armed guillotine in that last fight lol

[BobLoblawBrah]

Springer is the slowest person on the card. Total can for Caceres, who couldnt finish Hooper last time.

Chiesa is a tool, cant do analysis without being self-referential.

[Harry362]

that Sean Brady guy is a tank

looking forward to Rakic and Lawler fights

[CanardMedic]

DAMN, what a fight, I got Lamas on this

[sooby]

Sad to see the Ruthless now..

[Harry362]

Lawler should be fighting Mike Perry this is some **** matchmaking.

[Schnitzl]

Lawler hasn't been himself since 2016

After Neil parlay gets in for me I'm thinking to cash out from rakic win and bet on rakic ITD.

[sooby]

Sad to see the Ruthless now..

yeah this is just sad to see,

it's been sad to see for awhile tbh

was not the same after Condit

[adamsz]

good effort from Lawler in the 3rd but the MMA game has just passed him by at this point... he's too 1 dimensional. Should go fight in Bellator honestly.

[sooby]

mind blown that neil magny has 17 wins in the welterweight
