      i was glad to see Miesha on tonight. i listened to her do a 3 hr podcast with rogan before. she is good at this. a lot of fighters are. its fun to here the active ones talk shit about future opponents during broadcasts. Cormier, Bisping, and Cruz are classic. Woodley isn't as big a trash talker, but he gets some good ones in too.

        Made some good cash tonight. 4 units on the positive. Was very aggressive and played every fight with different hedges and parlays. I had Hendricks OV and Kim OV parlayed a bunch, even some with Pyle not going distance. Hit the main with Nunes at +150 straight no hedge for a unit plus. Hit Borg by decision which was crazy priced at +242 for 1 unit and then another at -130 ML. Hit Carlos Jr straight up and hit Garcia by TKO at +170. My only losses were Thatch (just under 1 unit) and Cruz (HUGE loss, over 4 units including parlays and such)

          Just watched the fight with no commentary and only Edmund yelling at Ronda.

                    Rousey looked like some amateur bum off the street. Didn't even fight back. Took punch after punch to the face.

                    $3mils for 48 seconds of work?

                    Rousey fixed that fight. Took a dive. Nobody with 12 months to prepare for a fight looks that bad unless they are only there for the payday and taking a dive.

                    I bet Nunes and Dana White were in on it. Nunes destroys her and now she can be marketed as the next great champ. Ronda walks away with $$$$ knowing she was going to retire anyway and probably start a family.

                    UFC is becoming more fixed than boxing. The only fights that are legit are the under card fighters trying to get to the top spots.

                    I say all this having not bet a dime on this card. Glad I didn't.

                            But some mma fight doesnt really have a clear winner.
                            Interestingly enough every single media member had it 29-28 ACJ. Close fight either way.

                              Its a clear 30-27 in ground control, the only thing that was scored in two fight ago, in the ACJ vs vettori?

                              I mean the judges can one fight go for ground control, two fights later, ohhh now were scoring damage.

                              Does this makes sense?
                              You're the only person I've talked to/seen that scored the fight this way. Food for thought attached below.

                                  Was big on Dom and by decision here but I think Cody 48-46 or 48-47 were fair scorecards. Good fight.

                                          $3mils for 48 seconds of work?

                                          Rousey fixed that fight. Took a dive. Nobody with 12 months to prepare for a fight looks that bad unless they are only there for the payday and taking a dive.

                                          I bet Nunes and Dana White were in on it. Nunes destroys her and now she can be marketed as the next great champ. Ronda walks away with $$$$ knowing she was going to retire anyway and probably start a family.

                                          UFC is becoming more fixed than boxing. The only fights that are legit are the under card fighters trying to get to the top spots.

                                          I say all this having not bet a dime on this card. Glad I didn't.

                                            Styles make fights is the name of the game, I wouldn't wanna bet against my fav fighter either though so I feel ya.. wonder who will get lineker next I though it would be Cody with a loss but Cody won the belt and I doubt Cruz will take him...

                                            people gotta watchout for jimmy Rivera though he's a dark horse at 35

                                              Cat future champ. Both me and Fire have called our shot

I had Hendricks OV and Kim OV parlayed a bunch, even some with Pyle not going distance. Hit the main with Nunes at +150 straight no hedge for a unit plus. Hit Borg by decision which was crazy priced at +242 for 1 unit and then another at -130 ML. Hit Carlos Jr straight up and hit Garcia by TKO at +170. My only losses were Thatch (just under 1 unit) and Cruz (HUGE loss, over 4 units including parlays and such)

                                                    people gotta watchout for jimmy Rivera though he's a dark horse at 35
                                                    Agreed. Wonder what the number will be for him against Mr. Tate

                                                      No, i chased cash after losing with cruz. Still lost overall on the night though.

                                                        Magny didnt really damage hendricks that much, the most significant thing that happened was the takedown. I dont know if elbowing someone for 5 seconds win you a round. Fight sucked overall, really bad fight.

                                                          Rondas trainer is just a bad and scummy guy. Ronda made alotta bad choices anyway. I didnt bet for this event but I wanted her to win because she wouldve made things interesting. I couldnt give two farts about Amanda.

                                                            you could tell it was over with the first punch. I found it hilarious here xXx movie poster was in the cage because it is clear she is done with fighting.

                                                              Laying a lot of juice on this card. Not my favorite. I wanted to find a solid dog that I like but I'm not sold on Lineker. I think he lost the Dodson fight and he was frustrated at his movement and Dodson moves about half as much as TJ. I kinda like Nunes but I think Rousey is a big time unknown coming into this fight. Gonna need to be right more often than wrong on this one. Good luck everyone. Should be some good fights.
                                                              +6.22 units. Feel pretty good about it overall. Didn't really miss on anything other than not taking Nunes. Good layoff not hitting Lineker though. On to the next one. Gonna be in Vegas in two weeks. Hoping for some good bets!

                                                                Now it all makes sense that Rousey didn't want to talk to the media, except for a couple talk shows. Also notice that she didn't want to discuss the fight and what she'd do to Nunes. She just made her body more cut, and took pics of her body. It's like she is getting ready for her movie career, didn't want to make anything that could allow her to be made fun of on social media to further damage her reputation. If she really was a real fighter, she'd join a better gym like American Top Team or Jackson/Wink and learn better standup and have real sparring partners. At Edmund's camp, she probably hardly sparred at all.

                                                                  Her first fight back she is facing a VERY tough Amanda Nunes.. That's like running into a buzz saw... Amanda is tough as nails, just retired Mesha Tate and Rousey is coming off a long layoff.. Rousey also is coming off a brutal knock out that rocked her world mentally.... She was suicidal.. Those demons will probably creep back in her mind once she steps into the cage again..

                                                                  I think Nunes is gonna officially retire Rousey once again and for good..

                                                                  Easy money right here fellas.. ITD prop is a gem as well since it's a 5 round fight...

                                                                  Well started off really strong and was up big with this event, then went cold for a couple fights, then I hit TJ straight and by decision and then Nunes straight and ITD for BIG to round off a nice winning night... Didn't kill this event but did enough damage in the end to walk away with a good profit..

                                                                  Next.. WSOF tonight see you fools same bat time same bat channel!!!!

                                                                    lack of defense, leaving her head open - she didn't have enough
                                                                    time to feel her way into the fight. I was surprised it was called
                                                                    at first, she looked a little surprised also and I thought it could
                                                                    have gone on.

                                                                    Rhonda was going down - Amanda would have pounced on her but
                                                                    that's when Rhonda may have turned it around.
                                                                    So I do still believe the fight may have been called too early.

                                                                    I don't regret the wager on Rousey, even though she lost.
                                                                    That's just how it goes.

                                                                    The next move is her call, she needs new trainers for sure
                                                                    if she stays with fighting. After these losses both happening
                                                                    for the same reason in the ring, she needs new insights
                                                                    on stand-up defense.

                                                                    So I'll just move on and "get it back".

                                                                      $3mils for 48 seconds of work?

                                                                      Rousey fixed that fight. Took a dive. Nobody with 12 months to prepare for a fight looks that bad unless they are only there for the payday and taking a dive.

                                                                      I bet Nunes and Dana White were in on it. Nunes destroys her and now she can be marketed as the next great champ. Ronda walks away with $$$$ knowing she was going to retire anyway and probably start a family.

                                                                      UFC is becoming more fixed than boxing. The only fights that are legit are the under card fighters trying to get to the top spots.

                                                                      I say all this having not bet a dime on this card. Glad I didn't.
                                                                      No way is this what Dana White wanted to happen. He was hoping Ronda would win and that Holly would also win the 145 pound title so Ronda could rematch Holly at 145 and be the first woman's 2 belt champ. You just know this was the plan.

                                                                      Otherwise why else would you make a championship fight for 145ers when there isn't enough of them to even make a division?

                                                                        lack of defense, leaving her head open - she didn't have enough
                                                                        time to feel her way into the fight. I was surprised it was called
                                                                        at first, she looked a little surprised also and I thought it could
                                                                        have gone on.

                                                                        Rhonda was going down - Amanda would have pounced on her but
                                                                        that's when Rhonda may have turned it around.

                                                                        So I do still believe the fight may have been called too early.

                                                                        I don't regret the wager on Rousey, even though she lost.
                                                                        That's just how it goes.

                                                                        The next move is her call, she needs new trainers for sure
                                                                        if she stays with fighting.

                                                                        So I'll just move on and "get it back".
                                                                        I see where you're coming from but I don't agree with it being a quick stoppage at all.

                                                                        Her legs were gone even several seconds after the fight was stopped, and she was obviously completely detached from her senses. There's was no reason to see her take another Holm like knockout in there, though this beating wasn't much better.
