Note to self:Never bet against Conor Mcgregor ever ever ever again!

It's really frustruating to bet against him because he's so good. Live-betting against him after R2 in future fights isn't a bad idea though.

McGregor toyed with Eddie. That was big... Poor Eddie though, but he's not the first to get KO'd by McGregor.. He can still hold his head high...

McGregor ITD, KO and Straight all landed with McGregor.. Won't start 3rd round worked as well.. Really saved me..

Glad the night ended well for ya bud!

Khabib would ground McGregor in about 2 seconds and then finish the fight shortly after with a sub or pound out.... All in on Khabib from this point forward especially if he ever faces McGregor...

If this fight happens, it seems like a must-hedge to me. Both fighters with very legit paths to victory.

Thanks man. On to the next event

See? You gotta have a Nate like chin to hang in there. Eddie was knocked 4 times in 2 rounds.
Khabib/Mac is a classic striker vs grappler matchup. Both with a very clear path to victory. GReat fight!

Good job Hugo on the BIG event win!!!!

I was getting murdered all event myself up until that Romero win and by KO and McGregor win and by KO.. I should have tailed you up until those fights

...

I think I was down around $1300 going into the Romero fight, I hit that straight, KO and Under props and that gave me about $700 in winnings, Wonderboy I lost a few bucks with the props even though it was a draw, loaded up on McGregor and hit everything for about $900... So end result is I actually ended up winning a couple hundred bucks.. I really got lucky in the end and hit everything with the 2 big plays....

I'll take it as I really thought I was gonna get ruined and lose thousands coming down the stretch with this event.. I really couldn't hit anything leading up. Missed the chick fights (did hit the Joanna by UN decision though) missed just about every fight early on as well.. I survived this Super event let's just put it that way....

On to the next one boys.. Got NFL today hoping to do better with that... Cheers fellas!!!!!

**JIBBBY** · 11-13-16, 12:22 PM

Sorry to see Miesha Tate retire but she's been in some wars.. It's time as she's a good looking girl and won't be good looking much longer if she keeps getting beat up like she has been.. Smart move..

Rhonda Rousey retiring as well soon.. These chicks made their money and just don't want to get beat up anymore. I can't blame them

**Venom OG** · 11-13-16, 12:28 PM

they stopped the mcgregor fight way too soon

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 11-13-16, 12:47 PM

well, I was dead wrong on the McGregor fight, I thought Alvarez would win.

I thought that he would be able to get Connor down and expose his flaws on the ground...not so.

Congrats to JIBBY and all the other McGregor backers and I think it's safe to say that I won't be betting against him in the near future unless he fights Khabib. I'm fairly sure that Khabib would mop the floor with him.

**UncleChael** · 11-13-16, 01:09 PM

Santa exists and he has a deadly left hand..

Khabib got hit a ton tonite.....wouldn't see so sure about that? Khabib and El Cucuy both give CM a much tougher matchup style wise then Alvarez. I had a nice night......had Romero and CM/Alvarez to go past 1.5 rounds which barely made it!!!

Haters? Cmon? Alvarez was clearly hurt....and outclassed plus Herb Dean was thankfully nowhere to be seen!

**UncleChael** · 11-13-16, 01:41 PM

Yoel Romero celebrating after the knock out was the scariest thing I ever seen. He jumps over the cage and salutes then starts marching around the octagon and goes side then salutes to everyone in the arena... my god that's a scary man. That flying knee though. Romero backers.

Bisping is going to get killed lol

Romero is scary but he is also shady as hell..performance enhancers, not getting up from stool and getting extra rest after round 2 of the Kennedy fight and dousing himself with water after round 1 last night...smh

Crazy fight. I think Bisping could actually outpoint SOG though

This year has shown us, more than ever, that everyone could win a fight. With Romero, he can finish anyone, and he has 5 rounds to land the fight ending blow, and i doubt bisping can withstand that onslaught. The KO will come during that 25 minutes most likely. Bisping may win by KO or decision though, so its not like you can hedge with bisping dec and be entirely safe.

He was hurt, but he was still able to defend himself. If they let that go, Alvarez probably comes back to and finishes the round, and who knows what happens in the later rounds. We saw Mcgregor dominate Diaz in the first round and a half, two rounds, but as the fight went on Mcgregor tired out and the momentum shifted the other way, so it would have been nice to have been allowed to see things play out.

Yeah not sure how I'll play it yet. Gotta wait for odds

I read ya Jake, Romero probably takes PED's but doesn't get caught, he's certainly always very timely with his eye pokes to catch a badly needed breather also.. Takes his time on the stool to catch his wind also like you said with the dousing of water.. He'll try anything to buy time when gassed..

It's clear Romero is cardio challenged in fights and that really is his biggest enemy. He clearly paced himself early on with Wiedman as you could see it..

Romero has learned to find ways to manage his cardio by any means necessary. With in the rules or not...

I actually think his cardio troubles are way overblown. People expect him to have terrible cardio because of his unique but I actually felt cardio was a big advantage for him against Weidman. After Round 2, Weidman was huffing and puffing and Yoel come out there and knocked him the fuckk out. Bisping will have a cardio advantage against Romero but not as substantial as people will think.

No doubt Romero is a gamer and does WHATEVER IT TAKES to win, including some unethical stuff in almost every fight.

**Thrilla** · 11-13-16, 03:56 PM

The more active fighter will drive the odds up for Romero while you know he is just saving his energy waiting to unleash it. I would consider backing Romero live in his future fights.......... especially vs Bisping.

I think that's a smart way to do it. How were your 205 results?

It was ok, not great though. won a few units.

Lost miesha tate which irritates me the most. I bet her at the highest closing odds pre-fight. But when the fight started I immediately saw I fcked up.....she was eating that jab all the time. Thought about betting the opposite live and take my loss but didn't bother she could always submit her opponent. Unfortunately she didn't and I had the learn the hard way that Pennington is hard to submit. Cause of her strength she was able to break free from Tate's sub attempts.
I should have done more research....... the fact that she announced her retirement did not come as a complete shock either. Backed a fighter with not the best mentality. No hunger to win....

And most of all TERRIBLE striking defense.
