Gotta really wonder about Romero's corner and gameplanning. He stopped throwing leg kicks after the first round. If he had hit it a few more times, Whittaker might not have continued.

His translator/cornerman looked like he spent the week leading up to the fight sleeping in a dumpster

Whittaker is the real deal.. He needs to go fix that knee now...

**Ty$** · 07-09-17, 12:17 AM

Well broke even hedging on the main Fn dumb I never hedge unless it's guaranteed profit wtf was I thinking... also never thought that fight goes 5... better go watch mj get destroyed should cheer me up

I'm already looking past that to Rockhold vs. Whittaker....THAT's the fight baby.

I don't see anyone beating Whittaker for a while.. .Dude is on it right now.. If you beat Jacare and Romero back to back Rockhold and or Bisping isn't gonna beat him either.. Rockhold will give him hell for sure until he gets dropped..

He is definitely legit. When he dispatched Jacare the way that he did, I was finally convinced about his ability.

I hope he smokes Bisping.

Reaper gonna obliterate bisping

**Sanity Check** · 07-09-17, 12:20 AM

That was a good scrap..

1st time I've seen someone walk out to Roy Jones Jr. "Can't be Touched" song and win the fight.

Went 7-3 on my picks and still managed to get wiped out going all in on Travis Browne like a dummy.

Good for you Browne is probably out of the UFC

**Ty$** · 07-09-17, 12:27 AM

Overs killed it this card ... I'm telling you guys O/U parlayed is where it's at ...

Naaahhhh, HWs are pretty rare. Now a days they really only leave cuz of suspension, or a move to another org over $.

Over was a good play as it was in Vegas and the heat had to take a toll on cardio.

Sometimes over is also good on cards at high elevation for similar reasons.

Whittaker ITD for me and straight..

This was my big play for the event to close out, would have been great if the ITD hit..

Still a main event bout win and event win as it made up for last nights event loss as I just went over the totals now.. I escaped this weekend without losing money so I'm really ok. Small profit but nothing worth mentioning, couple hundred on 5dimes maybe over all.... I call this weekend basically a wash in MMA for me.. Back to the drawing board..

Wish I would have won big on either event but it just wasn't in the cards this weekend... Onto the next event now..

I like Aussie guys.. They finally have a good fighter to back in Whittaker.. He's gotta be a National hero after tonight..

To beat Romero with a bum knee is something to say.. Certainly gonna be tough to bet against him going forward after tonight in my mind...

**Shagdogy** · 07-09-17, 01:09 AM

Booooooom!

**Shagdogy** · 07-09-17, 01:10 AM

Didn't get to post my plays ahead of time but I ended up taking Whittaker and Reem big, no hedges. Lost a small small parlay on Browne. Overall big big night for me. Cheers!

**Hugo de Naranja** · 07-09-17, 01:17 AM

Whittaker + Decision was a big hit for me. No regrets about the live hedges on Romero. Thought it was 2-2 going into the 5th and Whittaker needed that round to win. Great performance. Think I'll definitely be on him over Bisping.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 07-09-17, 01:18 AM

Awesome man. Had Reem as well. Thought we got lucky with that decision. I had it a 28-28 Draw or even 29-27 Werdum. Surprised the judges gave him the nod

**Hugo de Naranja** · 07-09-17, 01:19 AM

You called your shots and hit 'em. Much respect Ty

**Hugo de Naranja** · 07-09-17, 01:26 AM

To Ty's point about overs, no R1 finishes on the card at all.

I called Whittaker by TKO WRONG. ... Scotland looks like easy pickings see y'all later this week

On Oliynyk island on the next fight. Favorable matchup for Browne but I can't bring myself to pick him again. One round fighter with confidence issues

Wish I got a better price on the Russian but at least I got a winner here.

Travis is done, remind me to fade this bum in the future please..

Will do. Assuming he doesn't get shipped to Bellator. Maybe even there tho...Browne can ONLY win in R1

Pettis vs. Gaethje?

Almost did lol

This card was all about Whittaker for me going into it. That's the fight I wanted to see and that's the fight I played the biggest, so I wasn't too torn up about Nunes... but UFC has to do something about the main event cancellations and pull-outs. I flew out from the east coast for this card. Luckily I could make a bigger trip out of it because my buddy lives out here, but for people who would want to travel primarily to see a UFC event, these cancellations make it too risky to spend the money.

Could be a step on the way there. I don't think they make the Ferg fight right away

they asked dana about it at press conference ln.. he said ferguson agreed if its for a interm title and gaethje wants it... but he said he wants khabib vs ferguson , khabib made of glass so if he cant make it he will make gaethje vs ferg

so basically all comes down to khabib finally fighting or not ... ill pray he cant make it now
