Alex Pereira is a +180 underdog to defeat Israel Adesanya -255


How on earth is Pereira an +180 underdog?

Alex Pereira has beaten Israel Adesanya three times: twice in kickboxing, and now once in mixed martial arts (MMA) to take Adesanya's Middleweight title (watch it).



Second question: Has IZZY been saying he is going to just wrestle him and get a win?


I want to bet on this one for Pereira but if Izzy is saying he is going to wrestle him then I'm not betting.

Then don't bet.

Is Izzy saying he is going to wrestle?

Are you mentally challenged

I highly doubt a man whose got well over a hundred combat matches under his belt (86 of those were purely standing battles) is going to wrestle

No, I just don't understand why the odds makers have Izzy winning the fight when he is 0-3 and will not wrestle.



Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.

I'm not sure why the odds makers are having Izzy ahead.

Here is what Adesanya's coach said in a news article


Israel Adesanya's coach compares Alex Pereira to Mike Tyson with his 'superpower' to deliver one-shot KO, but insists there will be only small tweaks to tactics for UFC 287 showdown in Miami

They adjust the odds so there's money on both sides to balance each other out so that they can profit off the juice. So that means that's how the money is going. It isn't the oddsmakers.

The d2jsp lawyer has spoken.

Makes sense they profit off the juice not being right.

If you're betting IRL, good chance to wait until RND 1 is over & grab the live money. More than likely Izzy is going to win the match up stylistically, but Pereira has shown he can put Izzy down/out and in the event that it goes decision Pereira you may get a better line.

Twice Pereira has come back to wipe Izzy out, that's how I'd play it..

& I have no clue where you're getting those odds, but they've been pretty tight for a while.. just checked Bodog and +110 Pereira/-139 Adesanya
