It's the second installment of Picks on the Rocks, the sub series on which my buddy Matt "The Mechanic" Temple makes gambling picks and I criticize him.
This week we take a look at UFC Vegas 81, headlined by featherweight contenders Sodiq Yusuff and Edson Barbosa. Matt gives a 3-fight parlay and we discuss some other potential bets on the card.
We must remind you that we are not MMA handicappers, this show is just for fun. Do whatever you see fit with the picks we provide. We are also open to new names for this segment, so leave your suggestions in the comments!
On this episode, we also discuss the breaking news of Alexander Volkanovski replacing Charles Oliveira at UFC 294 to face Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title. Kamaru Usman replaces Paulo Costa in the co-main event against Khamzat Chimaev and we also discuss the UFC parting ways with USADA - cheers!
