UFC 189: Aldo vs. McGregor (July 11, 2015)

[Heyeverybody99]

I had John Howard, Jeremy Stephens and Gunnar Nelson.

I wonder if this means Conor McGregor will lose? I don't get a sweep very often.

Great shit bro

[fitguy67]

ok, just to get'em all in one place...here are (and in one case, were) my bets...everything to WIN 1measly unit

lots of early-bird price lock-ins from a while back (in general, in the case of dogs...tend to make you glad you did shop early)

Pfister +180

Smolka+101

(Garbrandt*Garcia*Almeida)-101

Cathal "the judge mesmerizer" Pendred -105

Means +170

(Thatch*Bermudez)+143

Lawler+180

Mendes +122
Mendes +136
Mendes +160

first 3 winna's, next 3 looza's...("luckily" bundling 2gether 2of'em--thatch&bermudez)

so, as for most of us...our night's comes down to this CME and ME

good luck to all!

[fitguy67]

really wish judges were allowed (even encouraged) to score a round 10-10 when they can't CLEARLY discern a winner...

on the other hand, they also should be encouraged, when appropriate, to utilize 10-8, 10-7...hell, why not even the ultra-rare 10-6 (eg. Maynard vs Edgar R1 of their 2nd fight clearest example of a mega-dominant round deserving of way more than the standard 10-9 difference that dolt-"judges" seem to mindlessly default to )

it's the "trained seal" 10-9 scores (when 10-10 or 10-8 would be far more indicative of the action)...that lead to the SMH "decisions" we all bitch about

10-10 would allow judges to refrain from guessing
10-8, 10-7, and perhaps the "this side of death" ultra-rare 10-6...would allow judges to express more accurately actual differences...so it's more indicative of the fight than the current mechanical "counting of rounds"

[Ghenghis Kahn]

rory has no head movement or footwork. too stationary. i think robbie got this if he doesn't get careless.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

Rory is done

[U2.5]

his face looks like ground beef.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

wow

[UncleChael]

Lets FUKKING go RED KING!!!

[Ghenghis Kahn]

he got careless. how do you get hit with that?

[FlipsideRM]

Lawler was owning Rory, now looking to be knocked out

[U2.5]

That makes the round interesting.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

he actually got poked in the eye before that kick.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

you can't block kicks like that. robbie's done.

[U2.5]

How many times have you seen a fighter look like he's out on his feet then land the KO punch? It's going to be a good ending

[Fidel_CashFlow]

I feel sorry for Mendes and Mcgregor
these are exceptional fights tonight
for the main event to live up to .....

[Ghenghis Kahn]

both guys are gonna need some pain killers after the fight.

[U2.5]

I dunno who is winning right now honestly.

[FlipsideRM]

Hell of a fight.

[jizay]

I dunno who is winning right now honestly.

2 rounds each?

[FlipsideRM]

I dunno who is winning right now honestly.

No clue either.

[brooks85]

yes!!!!!!!!!!

[U2.5]

Well now I know who is winning. That decision would have sucked.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

has a chance at being the best UFC in years ... with 1 fight left?

[UncleChael]

MacDonald (((

[U2.5]

Wow, is that the same as tapping out to punches?

[FlipsideRM]

RIP Macdonalds nose though right?

[JIBBBY]

Best MMA fight I've seen in a while.. OMG!!! Robbie was out on his feet, gutted it out and showed he is the true champ... Rspk!!!

[jizay]

Not sure if I've seen a lip split open that bad before.

[fitguy67]

Robbie CLEARLY lost R3 and R4 (hardly made it to the end of the 3rd, or was it the 4th...when he was getting lit up bad with 15 interminable seconds)...

then comes up big in the 5th...deep water is damn near everything!!!

by my count:

A. guy with SOME/any (win OR lose) R4/R5 experience

vs

B.guy with ZERO experience of R4/R5

A beats B 100% of the time (anyone know of an exception to this?)



(beware Conor "never past the 3rd" McSwagger)

[GunShard]

Macdonald rekt.

[U2.5]

So as of right now is that the new FOTN? could be 3 of them atm

[brooks85]

Not sure if I've seen a lip split open that bad before.

I was thinking the same thing, that might be a scar for life. I'm sure he would love that kind of memory of tonight.

[FlipsideRM]

Conor time!

[jizay]

I was thinking the same thing, that might be a scar for life. I'm sure he would love that kind of memory of tonight.

He looked like a combination of Tong Po and the joker, and the other guy looked worse!

[JIBBBY]

Line jumped back up to +165 for Mendes on 5d now..
