UFC 231 Preview
It's hard to not be entertained by one of the most violent sports American television has to offer. UFC 231 is tomorrow night, and even though I fucking hate pay-per-view, as soon as the punches are flying all cares go out the window.

Let's start with the welterweight bout. Alex Oliveira vs Gunnar Nelson. Nelson is -140 in the bout. I'm with Vegas on this one, I like Nelson over Oliveira. The fact that Oliveira's nickname is "cowboy" is enough to not have to worry about this under dog.

The featherweight bout is Hakeem Dawodu vs Kyle Bockniak. I read a report that Bockniak may try to grapple, and lord knows that you never bet against a grappler. In this one I like the underdog, take Dawodu +150.

Next up we got the light heavyweight bout. Jimi Manuwa vs Thiago Santos. Manuwa is getting +180 compared to Santos' -220. I LOVE Manuwa here. I think this may be the lock of the night. Hammer Manuwa +180.

To be completely honest, I don't know jack shit about these two fighters so if you are using this as your guide, let's play it safe and take Shevchenko -330.

Last up we got the fight of the night, which seems strange since it's the featherweight bout. Max Holloway vs Brian Ortega. Ortega is the favorite in this bout, and I have to agree. Everyone loves an underdog, but if you're looking for an underdog I really don't think Holloway is your champ. Ortega -125.
Let's have a big fucking weekend!
Happy betting,
Karch
