WSOF 33: Branch vs. Magalhaes
Straight Bets:
Gooch (+220) .5u
Howard (+350) .5u
High (-190) 1u to win .53u
My biggest bets for this card were Gaethje (parlayed with High in one instance, and Cerrone in another) and the Under 2.5. Fukking Dugulubgov pulls out the day of the fight so this is what I have left.Comment -

Chris Weidman is going to put a beat down on Yoel Romero.
Locksmith you're slacking post the UFC 205 thread!Last edited by UncleChael; 10-11-16, 08:12 PM.Comment -
I do think Weidman definitely has a wrestling advantage but Yoel has a ton of power and is pretty durable. Do you think Weidman will try to take this to the mat or keep it on the feet? Romero's cardio did not look good against Jacare but he has a bunch of Round 3 KO/TKOs in his career so it seems to me that he is live to catch Weidman in any round.Comment -
i think Yoel has the wrestling advantage over any 85er in the division if he wants to use it imo dudes a wrestling legend in Cuba. Weidman has the ground and striking technical advantage this fight will be tough but I think weidman will edge out a decision possibly losing round 1 and winning 1 and 2 plus in his hometown if it's close he'll get the edge.. Romeros cardio is suspect but he's been pacing himself more lately just sitting back and using short explosive bursts so weidman needs to keep constant forward pressure with his striking and be weary of the power double and I think he takes this one , coming off that scary neck injury is something to be careful of though but he says he's 100% and I don't think he'd take a fight of this magnitude not healthyComment -
Do you think Weidman will lose round 1 and then win 2/3? It's a bit unclear in your post. Definitely agree that if it goes the distance, Weidman will have the edge. I personally think Romero falls in to the category of guy's with excellent wrestling credentials (he's an Olympic legend) who are able to win against elite fighters without using these skills. I'd say this category also includes guys like Hendo and Woodley. Excellent wrestlers like Jacare and Brunson have been able to take him down so I could see Weidman doing so. That said, this is how I have it bet so far:
Weidman vs. Romero:
Romero Scorecards = No Action (+135) 2u
Romero KO/TKO (+330) 2u
Romero Round 3 (+1425) 1u
Hedge:
Weidman Round 2 (+700) 1u
I'll look to add a hedge on Weidman decision if the odds improve. I highly recommend a bet on Romero Round 3 at huge plus odds since he has finished 4 of his UFC victories by Round 3 KO/TKO.Comment -
My bad woke up from a nap right as I posted that haha , I meant I could see Romero winning round 1 and weidman pressure taking over winning him 2,3 but I used to be in the same mind state when I seen romeros first few fights especially against Brunson ( didn't know Brunson would become such a beast ) my friend who wrestles was super super high on Romero and I didn't really see it I didn't think his wrestling would translate to mma but the more I watch his earlier fights he didn't really care about being taken down because he'd just pop right back up, against Tim Kennedy who I thinks a great wrestler he decided to stuff everything with ease which really shocked me ... If weidman can steer clear of the big shots I think he has a decision wrapped up in the bag only thing that scares me is the neck and the fact that he knows this is basicslly a 85er tournament for the next title shot so they all might come out with a bit of extra fire trying to get that statement finish gotta take that into account imo and those prop bets don't look to bad at all, weidman late finish or decision is where I'd lean most Romero +1425 3rd round is worth a small wager but I don't think he gets it here , at those odds definitely worth a shot though I agree hugo
one bet I have my eye on is I'm liking Stephens +245 over Edgar I think his size may be to much for Frankie here , love Frankie but he should be at 35 imo and Stephens is hugeeee for 45s , Edgar can come out and make him look stupid but I think Stephens has a good opportunity to stuff the shots and land the big shot at those oddsComment -
A strange trend I've noticed with Romero is that his first round is usually good, his second round is usually his worst, and he comes out in the third and gets a lot of finishes. Weidman is definitely the better round-winner of the too and I'm definitely excited for this one. Stephens is definitely live here although Edgar has never been finished in his pro career. Stephens decision at (+850) might be worth a look as well since KO isn't his only path to victory here. There's definitely $$$ to be made on UFC 205.Comment -
Tough fight to bet IMO for a straight winner...
Romero is a power house and could physically man handle Weidman and break him much like Luke Rockhold did but faster.. Weidman looked like a fish out of water off his back against Luke..
I think if Weidman can weather the early storm and keep this standing it's his fight to win.. Romero has a tendency to badly gas out if the fight drags on.. Weidman has been out for a long time now and we could see a bit of ring rust too.. That 1st round is gonna be very dangerous for Weidman IMO..
Romero round 1 finish or Weidman by Decision is my best guess...Last edited by JIBBBY; 10-12-16, 11:43 AM.Comment -

Liking Tony Ferg over RDA at plus odds.. Jumped on that already.. Can't bet against El Cucuy... Not on my watch.. RDA has started to fall off now a bit in recent fights as well..
Tony Ferg is ripe to get hit at times and did get badly rocked recently, still fought thru and won that fight.. Dude is tough as nails and has massive heart.. No quit in El Cucuy that's for sure as long as he stay conscious.. 8 fight win streak and counting... http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Tony-Ferguson-31239Comment -
how has RDA been falling off lately lol.... dudes literally just breaking into his prime of his mma career and has never looked better
he got clipped by eddie and got swarmed not much you can do , before that he beat cerrone whos being looking like an absolute beast lately, destroyed pettis, diaz, bendo all top notch elite guys ??? the only time hes been dominated at all was by khabib lately and after that fight he put some size on and really started hitting his stride imo... Tony ferguson is probably my favorite 55er in the world right now tbh but this is probably the worst matchup for him in the division would be stoked if he wins this fight but dont really see this going his way , unless RDA somehow becomes gun shy after getting tkod but i doubt it after stephens broke his jaw he came back from that which was a much worse KO.. tonys do or die style might be his downfall in this fight the thing that makes him the most exciting 55er in mma also gives him major defensive flaws , if he gets clipped by RDA like he did by lando last fight the fight will be over , RDA one of the best guys at finishing once he has you hurt for me would need +150 or more for ferguson tbh .... regardless should be one of the best fights of the year hope tony pulls this out but well see i dont see it going his way in mexico city hopefully he proves me wrong and that big bear training helps him out

^^ Fire RDA just got dropped by Eddie, he's been fighting guys that's he either has their number like Cowboy or guys that are now in Bellator like Benson Henderson.. Alot of decision wins.. Yes since the Khabib domination he's looked beatable.....
On the other hand El Cucuy won 8 in a row now and has looked great in his fights.. Need I say more? Yes my money will be on the 8 fight win streaking Tony Ferguson... El Cucuy can beat anyone right now in the division including RDA and to say he cannot would be none sense...Comment -
ferguson just got dropped by a no name fighter multiple times last fight as well??? Just don't really agree but to each his own brotha, don't see how he has cerrones number hes just an overall better fighter then cerrone it looks like to me and cerrone is an elite talent , beat Pettis when he was looking unstoppable, dominated Diaz like nobody has before, kod bendo when that's never been done either at the time ... Since that Khabib fight RDA got a new strength and condition coach and has looked like a new animal he has great striking / wrestling and ground game basically the perfect fighter he got caught by Eddie and couldn't recover tbh.. Ferguson is on an 8 fight win streak but I'd honestly say RDA would beat them all quiet easily at this time he's 31 just hitting his prime , Ferguson is still my favourite 55er and one of my favourite fighters in general that's why I hate the matchup for him , his 8 fight win streak I've watched every fight and most were lower end guys , the 2 most impressive victories were his Gleison tibau submission win and the barbosa come from behind win where he landed that wicked brabo choke. His favourite thing to do is hurt his opponent and lock up submissions I don't really see him subbing RDA , he has crazy technical skills and is precise but he doesn't have that huge KO power and RDA actually has a great chin he was getting tagged left and right by eddie while on wobbly legs and still didn't fall so... I'd say fergusons way to victory here is decision in a super super tough war, I think RDA could get a decision or tko so with more ways to victory I'd lean RDA , +120 isn't enough for me , tony is super flashy again and leaves himself open to a lot if he does this against RDA which history has proven he's a wild man hell probably get tagged like he has in many fights , if he lets that happen vs RDA i highly doubt he'll let the foot of the gas and let el cucoy recover like the lower names before RDA is a different animal from these other guys he's been fighting imo , both are cardio beasts so I'm hoping for a 5 round war but we'll see in Mexico City .. My opinion still stands need +150 or more for tony , winning streaks don't mean much it's the quality of opponents and styles make fights it's the name of the game in mma

Anybody hop on the Ronda fade train? I'm on at a price above +200. Can't remember what it was though. Just took it based off pure feel honestlyComment -
