My parlay is Etim, Carwin, Nakamura, and Palhares. I bet $500 with a max profit of $80,860. Like others I'm not sold on Sokoudjou. Nakamura is pretty tough and I can see him squeezing out a decision. I believe Carwin is going to win in his UFC debut and I heard that this may be Salaverry's last fight. I don't know why exactly that matters but I have a feeling that he's not really focused.

my parlay is ridiculously high if i win them all

reljic, palhares, yoshida and nakamura, since i can only bet half my bankroll i can only put up 500$ but stand to make 120,668$ including an extra 500$ on seperate fights, 120K will definatly get me a badge if i get the parlay

all i can say is man i wish i was in vegas for these fights, put down some serious green

some of these guys might be unknown but i think they will win all of them
carwin, yoshida, palhares, i would love to parlay them in real life and watch me win alot of dough. i wouldn't be surprised if all three won.
upset i would have to say jardine over wandy

My bet for upset of the night would be Nakamura over Soko. Nakamura has some big fights under his belt and I think Soko is a little overrated.

I wouldn't consider Yoshida over War Machine and Palhares over Salaverry an upset.

Id say WAR has a chance of the upset but not much, i like Palhares to beat a ring rusted and past it Ivan

i have to go with Yoshida I have him picked to win. i dont think its much of an upset, on paper. but "WAR" was on TUF. So hes the name in the fight

EDIT: I didnt like how kopenhaver "got off" on his assault charges
