UFC 285 | Prelim Preview
Saturday, March 4th (10:00 PM EST Main Card, 8:00 PM EST Prelims, 5:30 PM EST Early Prelims)
Cody Garbrandt vs. Trevin Jones
WATCH - Former Bantamweight champ “No Love” Cody Garbrandt is 1-5 in his last six fights. “5-Star” Trevin Jones is 0-3 in his last three fights. These are no “Bo Nickals”. That being said, win or cut fights breed mayhem and we can never bet against bantamweights being exciting.
FGTDalgo Bet - Fight Goes The Distance 1u @ +225 (better than -118.7)
Derek Brunson vs. Dricus Du Plessis
WATCH - Neither of these fighters has the elite grappling skills of Bo Nickal, despite both submitting Darren Till in their most recent victories. Regardless, styles make fights, and the combination of Du Plessis frenetic non-stop full power action vs Brunson’s casual gatekeeping skills should result in a compelling matchup.
MMAalgo Bet - Dricus Du Plessis 3u @ -225 (better than -225.6)
Viviane Araujo vs. Amanda Ribas
WATCH - These two fighters combined have 120 less NCAA wrestling wins than Bo Nickal. Why would we bother? Because we have money on this one.
MMAalgo Bet - Amanda Ribas 3u @ -120 (better than -152.2)
FGTDalgo Bet - Fight Goes The Distance 1u @ -210 (better than -267.1)
Julian Marquez vs. Marc-Andre Barriault
WATCH - The fate of the world seems to hang in the balance whenever the UFC invokes the Cuban Missile Crisis. While citizens only discovered decades afterward how close humanity came to annihilation in the 1960’s, modernity can witness MMA annihilation live in the form of this Middleweight weapon.
Ian Garry vs. Song Kenan
WATCH - Imagine a world in which Connor McGregor is a Welterweight who doesn’t finish opponents. Ian Garry, who doesn’t have the same hype as - also undefeated - Bo Nickal, puts his perfect record on the line against Song Kenan. We’re hoping Garry turns into the 7-minute man he was born to be.
Mana Martinez vs. Cameron Saaiman
WATCH - Other than elite grapplers like Bo Nickal, we love bantamweights who finish people with knees and elbows.
Jessica Penne vs. Tabatha Ricci
BATHROOM BREAK - “Baby Shark” Tabatha Ricci has never won a NCAA wrestling championship. “Big Shark” Bo Nickal sure has, too bad he doesn’t fight until later.
Da'Mon Blackshear vs. Farid Basharat
BATHROOM BREAK - Neither of these fighters come within 3 inches of Bo Nickal’s height. Get taller.
Esteban Ribovics vs. Loik Radzhabov
WATCH - We were originally concerned that undefeated “El Gringo” was being fed to an Eagle FC debuter until we realized it was that guy who lost in the PFL. How can you face your Tajikistan countrymen after that? Bo Nickal would never lose in the PFL.
