Oh jesus just saw he dropped out of the fight

**UncleChael** · 02-11-17, 02:47 PM

10/10 womens bantamweight*** title fights got finished inside the distance... What do you think happens tonight?

Hopefully not. He's pulled out of a ridiculous amount of fights due to injuries, illnesses etc. It's clear his body is no longer fit for the sport.

**Unwritten Law** · 02-11-17, 03:57 PM

Randamie
Brunson
Souza
Brown
Sasaki
Makhachev
LaFlare

i think you're right. i haven't pulled the trigger yet myself but to me Holm just smells like a loser. I've also been fading her. she's nothing more than a name people remember from the rousey "upset"

**Shagdogy** · 02-11-17, 04:10 PM

Surprised how much bigger Glover looked at weigh in. Cannonier looked a little nervous too.

Hate when that happens last minute too..

For me it's ok because I thought that fight could have gone either way.. Don't mind getting my money back on that one.. Chances are Creepy probably would have lost along with my cash if he didn't back out..

**Shagdogy** · 02-11-17, 05:04 PM

LaFlare -300, 4u
Brown -136, 3u
Nover +155, 1.5u
De Randamie -122, 1.5u
Reis by sub +145, 1u
Silva/Brunson o1.5 -135, 1.35u

Good luck everyone.

**JIBBBY** · 02-11-17, 05:30 PM

Looks like we are all fading Holly Holm.. I hope she doesn't go into wrestling mode each round, if she does we all could be screwed.. Holly could win by decision via the lay and pray in other words..

Same can be said in that Brunson/Silva fight.. If Brunson fights smart and goes into wrestling mode he could win by decision also just like DC did against the Spider...

Both fighters Holly and Brunson like to stand and strike though, hard to teach an old dog new tricks.. Neither really like to grapple and or lay and pray..

That's what my gut feeling says.. Brunson is going to play it as safe as he can and win a boring decision by wrestling. That being said, usually when I say a pick in this thread, it almost always loses...

Does anyone like Laflare by KO/TKO/DQ +225 to get it done at home, maybe a choke or something? Or does everyone think he will win a decision?

That's why I'm on the over in Silva/Brunson. Silva is always a slow starter and I think Brunson should have learned his lesson about running face first at good strikers like he did vs. Whittaker.

LaFlare isn't much of a finisher plus he's off the layoff. That number is nice though. I find it hard enough to pick winners, so I tend to stay away from the props.

**JIBBBY** · 02-11-17, 05:47 PM

^^^I'm on Brunson straight and no turning back now..

I think he wins by KO and did play that prop for small also.... Slight chance of a Brunson Decision win if he goes into wrestling mode every round...... I'm still leaning Brunson by KO though ..

I thought about hedging with the Spider KO prop +305 but I just don't think the old guy is gonna sniper Brunson with movement, distance and counter striking and then eventually knock him out late... Could happen if Anderson is still a shell of his younger self.. Just not seeing that at age 42.. His chin is gonna let him down me tinks in this one!!!

**Snowball** · 02-11-17, 05:50 PM

Anderson and Holly here, gl all.

Same.

**DSSCA** · 02-11-17, 06:13 PM

Brunson doesn't seem like the smartest fighter in the world... could Anderson get into Brunson's head while in the cage? Very possible... hmmmmmmm... no play for me but just think about it.

agreed, super cool dude hope he can be financially stable and just hang em up

**JIBBBY** · 02-11-17, 06:42 PM

Brunson hits like a tank comes out swinging and connects. He's there to fight and will fight and come out guns blazing like he always does.. Silva starts slow and most likely will get clipped.. Brunson packs serious power.

Down goes Silva, 1st round KO...End of story. Silva retires...

...

Later start time now with the Creepy fight cancellation..

Outside chance Silva can win if it gets out of the 1st round though and the fight stays standing most of the time... Will look for the hedge if Anderson is still standing.. Anderson loves that clinch and those knees..

He's this black dude that rag dolled Romero..

That black dude that dropped Hall like a sack of shiiiit..

We all know who 42 year old Anderson Silva is.. Bisping almost knocked him out and DC took it easy on the Spider..

I don't know about a super cool dude... McCall was in the same lame ass wannabe street gang from OC with Rob Emerson. They would beat up dudes and claim some bullshit "turf" as theirs. Lol. No lie...

The black dude that got put out by Anderson's training partner Jacare Souza in under a minute? alright, okay.

**KingHawkins** · 02-11-17, 07:30 PM

LaFlare to start things off, 1 unit parlayed with Notre Dame NCAAB.
Also taking:
Brown -130 (2 units) Bet on black.
Cannonier +200 (2 units) Bet on black.
Miller +340 (.75 units) Too good of value for me to turn down.
Boetsch +425 (.10 units) $10 because he is the hometown fighter around my parts and I know lots of people that know him. And Jacare didn't look physically impressive to me. Age is a mofo. I could see Barbarian getting a W here somehow)
Brunson -140 (1.5 units) Remember that time when Silva's leg snapped in half? That was wild. Brunson 1st Round TKO.
De Randamie -135 (1.25 units) I think Holly gets some facial reconstruction here.

Per usual, I got stale lines from a square book so a smarter shopper could buy all of these at better prices. But 5D pisses me off so F them.

Good luck to all, here we go!!!

**Shagdogy** · 02-11-17, 08:02 PM

There we go LaFlare! Needed that one to start it off. Fought round 3 like a dummy but still won easy.

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 02-11-17, 08:25 PM

Glenn should get the nod here, i have a feeling he might get screwed

**KingHawkins** · 02-11-17, 08:25 PM

I hope Glenn gets it, I think he does. Other guy did nearly nothing

**Shagdogy** · 02-11-17, 08:26 PM

I feel like Nover 100% won that fight. Out landed Glenn 2-1. Glenn just had that BJ Penn skin that didn't show any damage at all. Also Nover did everything possible to make it look like he lost by backing up constantly. I say Nover won but Glenn will get nod.

I though that Nover won it too.

**Shagdogy** · 02-11-17, 08:28 PM

And there it is. Nover did that to himself by going straight backwards and allowing himself to get pinned on the fence. He was landing the counter left hook all night but couldn't figure out he needed to circle off of it instead of going straight backwards. Simple stuff.

**JC2008** · 02-11-17, 08:55 PM

Dammmmn I was hoping for that r3 finish @ +1000 for Makhachev.

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 02-11-17, 09:12 PM

this is one cocky asian

**Shagdogy** · 02-11-17, 09:21 PM

Need Reis by sub here... damn Sasaki just won't tap.

**Shagdogy** · 02-11-17, 09:22 PM

Where's Sage Northcutt when you need him?

**JIBBBY** · 02-11-17, 09:33 PM

Just logged on now... Just got home.. So I'm live with Reis winning by decision.. I think I called that.....Checking all results now...

Did I miss any good fights? Lentz got beat down as expected I see..
