UFC 207: Nunes vs Rousey (December 30, 2016)

[firekillex]

Watched the fight already , I'm on Cain myself just saying that was a close war where werdums pulled out at the end they're closely matched up and werdum has the style to beat Cain.. even though I think Cain tkos him here ... the JDS fight junior just landed a big shot some could say a lucky shot because the other fights after Cain absolutely mopped the floor with him from bell to bell.. I don't see Cain dominating werdum like that but I think his cardio will be on point this fight and I see him getting a a solid decision or later decision since it's only 3 rounds this time I wonder how Cain will come out since we know werdum always likes to come out super aggressive guy gets knocked out for being aggressive vs miocic then next bout starts the fight with a flying head kick versus Browne lolll gotta love it

Right now I'm leaning Alex Cowboy Oliviera over Tim Means at -105..

Snowy, Dirty Bird Means is gonna grind on Fake Mexican Cowboy and break him... Even though Cowboy Oliviera seems to excel in stand up fights I think he gets grinded and quits against Dirty Bird...

Cowboy Oli by KO could be a decent hedge though for insurance if the numbers make sense.

@ Jibby Fake Mexican? LoL. More like fake cowboy you mean that dude is far from being Mexican ethnicity.

How will Means grind him? He usually prefers to strike at range.

Yeah he's Brazilian I think

[JIBBBY]

I ment fake Cowboy, yes he is Brazilian.. The only true Cowboy in MMA is Cowboy Donald Cerrrone...

He does look like a Mexican though .. My bad..

[JIBBBY]

Not really at range but he does like to strike with punches, knees and elbows.. Not a wrestling grinder.. I jumped the gun on that wording..

Cerrone is the only real Cowboy.

[THE_RUDESTER]

@Jibby ~ All good. I seen a few Brazilian Cowboys in Vegas during the rodeo they have every year I was tripping out the first time I seen them thought to myself they have Cowboys in Brazil.... I guess they do. Haha. Happy Holidays.

Any chance Rowdy Ronda will be the dog by closing? -137 currently at BM. Will be playing her and will wait for it to drop and hopefully in the
plus.

[JIBBBY]

The way Ronda talked about herself after she got knocked out by Holly makes me think she can be mentally broken now in a tough fight.. Nunes is capable of making this fight a war....

I remember Ronda crying saying she could have died, she was thinking of suicide, she also went into hiding and seclusion for months after, etc.. That didn't sound like a fighter that wanted to fight anymore to me..

I hope Rousey had some good shrinks to coach her out of that mental abyss of hers... Ronda was dominate because of her mental strength and toughness before the knock out.. Now that she knows she is not invincible how will she respond against a top fighter for the first time back?

Alot of question marks still remain going into this fight IMO with regards to Rousey..

Holly Holm thinks Rousey will be stronger for it, I'm not so sure about that..http://www.justjared.com/2016/02/18/holly-holm-responds-to-ronda-rouseys-suicide-comments/

Ronda is mentally very unstable. Another beatdown wont do her any good but Id rather see her and her meltdowns than Nunes.

Melt down coming for sure.. Her mother is a nut case too..You gotta be a little crazy to be a cage fighter to begin with but Ronda takes it to a whole new level of crazy IMO..

Bitch is crazy and we could have had something special..

Unlikely. I think late action will be on RR

No chance.

[brooks85]

ronda definitely doesn't seem like someone with her head right. I look forward to the weighins, ronda was clearly a basket case last time vs holm.

[Unwritten Law]

Not 100% set to bet on Rousey and I'm actually shifting a little more towards Nunes, just keeping my options open. If I had to make a play right now I would take Nunes.

Garbrandt KO may happen. Not so likely by dec. Dec prop is +800, so it doesnt cost much limping a bit.

I think if Garbrandt does win it will necessitate a gameplan that relies on leg kicks to damage Cruz's movement. That's were Dillashaw had his best success. Sort of reminds me of Conor against Nate the second time. We know it's a potential weakness but we haven't seen Garbrandt use leg kicks much in his UFC fights.

That would have been a good gameplan, its stuff like that which will dehtrone cruz, not swinging wildly with hooks like garbrandt probably will.

I'm surprised guys like Benavidez and Mighty Mouse didn't do that in the past.

What was the best price you folks observed on the Nunes ML win? Has it ever been at +140 to +150 range?

heard it opened at +200 or more i got it at +150 almost over a month ago

[JIBBBY]

Down time between events is killing me .... Got spoiled there for a while with them firing off week after week...

[Snowball]

This is his problem. Leaves himself wide open. Cody thinks he can charge
right in there and punch Cruz out. It's not a solid gameplan, and Cruz will be
rock steady while Cody will be reckless. Cruz has 1 loss all career in 2007 to Faber
which he vindicated. Faber was much craftier than Cody is. Faber never lost his
head in the octagon, while Cody has no head to begin with.
On Rousey she also has 1 loss, Nunes has 4. Rousey will take Nunes down
and choke her out, she is the stronger woman, Nunes can't hurt her the
way Holm did. Expect Rhonda to be better than ever. I'm even convinced
Rhonda can outbox her if that's what she wants to do.

I got it at +140 a week ago myself on several books..

I dont know if this is a joke, im assuming its not. Rhondas striking is pretty bad, and if this becomes a pure standup affair, she will loose by a wide margin.

Garbrandt does have decent power and speed and although not being a volume puncher or a smart striker, he may clip cruz. He has 25 min to do so. So its not a lock, but cruz is the overall better fighter.

she's spent months working on just this against men.
