Chris Weidman is the best striker Anderson has ever fought...

[mirinquads]

from someone who had 300 on weidman by KO and 100 on weidman ITD....I really felt that he was a great matchup style wise and that his best shot of winning was a KO/TKO/Stoppage. I really believed if it went the distance Weidman would be robbed or a tie goes to the champ. I thought Silva had a good enough ground game to get himself back up to the feet where he felt he could pick Weidman apart (this isn't actually true however, but it was my reasoning.) So in my puny little brain I felt that if I was going to believe he could beat Silva he would have to knock his ass out....and that is where I put my money. Call it luck, call it a fluke, call it a fix....I am calling it +900 X3.
(thank you to MD and the others who's informative analysis caused me to double my Kennedy bet, taking a 100 extra right before the fight and adding it to the KO line. Wish I would've done more.

Also wish I would have done some open parlays starting with that KO prop...oh well.

Nice hit bro, didnt see the knockout coming what so ever. Semi flukiest I would say though. Im thinking Anderson might take a decision in the rematch.

I respect everyone's analysis on fights, and love to read how they see the fight going but I can tell you that if you check the post history in here, there were a handful of guys that were extremely confident in Weidman's skillset and the way he would match up with Silva. Extremely confident.

thank you sir. I thought of you when I noticed I lost two "ball tingler"- parlays in which I had every UFC fight pegged moneyline, but had added David Price in boxing because of a write up I had read online. Adding David Price cost my UFC Hail Mary's (and they would have paid out a couple grand.)

Focking parlays man, they kill me.

Boobz i did bet Jessica "Andrew" Andrade

I want to like her but I think she just gets controlled by Carmouche. Why do you like her? WMMA +450 is nice of course...

If that was in reply to my post, there were some guys who really liked Weidman, but how many thought he'd be able to win in the standup? It's a pretty short list.

100% true, I should have clarified that

[Das Jax]

The vast majority of people thought that it was a near-impossibility that he KO's Silva on the feet. Partly due to a lack of respect for Weidman's striking, partly due to overestimating Anderson.

Exactly, and I was definitely part of that majority. But having seen the way things went down, I don't think I'm the only one smacking the ol' forehead in disbelief at my own stupidity and lack of foresight. Sure, he's matrixed shots and successfully baited before, but it doesn't take a genius to realize that it's a foolish tactic... particularly against a fighter of Weidman's caliber.
