Interesting, not sure why he's grappling with Burnell unless he just doesn't think he can defend TD's.

**TPowell** · 01-14-18, 06:51 PM

Well the 3.5 is out now without a finish. What is this penetrating idiot doing? The guy is 10+ pounds heavier than you. QUIT WRESTLING

**TPowell** · 01-14-18, 06:56 PM

Don't bet against the vastly overweight wrestler. Shitty start

**turbozed** · 01-14-18, 06:57 PM

Was wrong about Burnell's cardio. It held up over 3 rounds surprisingly.

Let's be right on JJ. Hopefully she continues to show improvement.

**PhoKing** · 01-14-18, 07:07 PM

hmmm if someone's overweight to a point he's half way there to a bigger weight class... no way in hell i would i take that fight. even with a 20% purse fee, which is probably only a couple thousands?

guy might be cut by ufc now

**KingHawkins** · 01-14-18, 07:09 PM

here we go. cmon JJ

**TPowell** · 01-14-18, 07:27 PM

Boom, should be an easy 30-27 and an easy cash on the over as well for a little 4 unit double winner

**Hugo de Naranja** · 01-14-18, 07:28 PM

I've got it 30-27 Aldrich over Danielle "One Punch" Taylor. R1/R3 were clearly Aldrich. R2 was a tossup.

Nice hits T!

**turbozed** · 01-14-18, 07:28 PM

Yes JJ, thank you for being my first bet won in 2018! wooohoo

**TPowell** · 01-14-18, 07:28 PM

They gave Taylor a round? LOL

**turbozed** · 01-14-18, 07:29 PM

I can't believe all 3 judges gave Taylor the 2nd. WTF

**KingHawkins** · 01-14-18, 07:29 PM

High fives guys! And extra shoutout to Tpowell for hitting the over too. I should have ate the juice at any price.

**KingHawkins** · 01-14-18, 07:30 PM

I figured two out of three would give Taylor R2, but all three, jeeeez

**TPowell** · 01-14-18, 07:30 PM

2nd was closer but still, wow all 3 gave it to Taylor. Someone got boned on that -3.5

**Shagdogy** · 01-14-18, 07:30 PM

Taylor's time runs out. Finally. Some fighters are a pleasure to watch. She is not.

Aldrich looked good in the 3rd when she got loose.

Thanks. The juice was awful but I hit that one early at -290. Was my first thought on the card and my favorite play. Was a little nervous when JJ started piling it on early in the 3rd though.

**turbozed** · 01-14-18, 07:32 PM

Alright let's go Evil Eye now.

I got -320 in a parlay. Probably shouldv'e been -600 with these two girls.

Hell yeah dude. And after watching that, I can't see either of them finishing anyone, ever in the future.

I agree. JJ can put it together sure but Taylor hasn't shown an awful chin by an means and JJ is tough as nails. This fight was never going to be on the ground very long and we all know how inactive Taylor can be, much less with a taller girl like JJ.

**TPowell** · 01-14-18, 07:35 PM

I'm on Eye here at -120. Just think she's hyper motivated for this one and she's been in there with the best of the best from 135. She SHOULD be able to stay upright and she should be even more powerful striking at 125.

What a weird round. 4 minutes of low percentage Leg Locks smh

We're about to find out if "Motivated Jessica Eye" is as much of a myth as "Motivated BJ Penn"

**Hugo de Naranja** · 01-14-18, 07:48 PM

Faria is useless on the mat

**TPowell** · 01-14-18, 07:56 PM

Faria won that fight IMO. VERY close but think she should take it. Would love to be wrong

**turbozed** · 01-14-18, 07:58 PM

Dumbass Eye had the fight in the bag with that TD in the 3rd but stood up out of it. Didn't punch in top position to solidify. Fight IQ is very low on this chick. Will fade her in the future.

Still hit Eye ML and O2.5

**Hugo de Naranja** · 01-14-18, 07:58 PM

Close fight could have gone either way.

**TPowell** · 01-14-18, 07:58 PM

Faria is a strong fighter for 125. I was very impressed with Eye's wrestling and top control to be honest.

Good hit. I passed on the over but hit Eye as well. I agree. Round would have definitely been hers if she kept pressure on after 1st TD
