UFC 226: Miocic vs. Cormier (July 07, 2018)

[PaperTrail07]

Agree peavy…..a W for the good guys for sure.....honest dude....no side BS noPEDs……..tip of the cap IMO Shocking ALL 5 DOGS hit on the main card …..

[GunShard]

So who thinks DC is the greatest UFC fighter ever? Not I...

If Jon Jones wasn't suspended from his actions. Jones would have done what DC has accomplished.

[Shagdogy]

Damn, between Piechota, Vannata, and Saki, I lost my 3 biggest bets this weekend, and none of them were even close. Off weekend for me. Somehow I still battled to relatively small losses by hitting a few dogs that really helped.

Underdogs went 7-3 last night at 226, and the main card was a clean sweep of 5 straight dog wins. A parlay of all of them paid 123 to 1. When do you guys think the last time a main card was a clean sweep of dogs?

[JIBBBY]

This is how I'm playing the card fellas, got family in town so probably won't be posting live tonight.. I'll try to pop in and out.. Just busy weekend..

All bets around $100 a pop.. Only one hedge with this event.. Keeping it simple and just going for it.. Good luck everyone!!!


1) No bet pass
2) Gilbert by sub
3) Vannatta by Dec
4) Assuncoa straight
5) Costa by KO
6) Roundtree by KO
7) Pettis ITD/ Hedged Chiesa by SUB
8) Paul Felder ITD
9) Ngannou by KO
10) Stipe by Decision

Well went 4-5 with this event..

Started to heat up mid way thru and was actually up with some good +odds prop hits (Rountree KO, Pettis ITD).. Last 3 fights buried me though, all losses.. Lost a few bucks in the end but nothing really bad.. Had a chance to win this event but came up short in the end .. Next...

1) No bet pass
2) Gilbert by sub LOSS
3) Vannatta by Dec LOSS
4) Assuncoa straight WIN
5) Costa by KO WIN
6) Roundtree by KO WIN
7) Pettis ITD/ Hedged Chiesa by SUB WIN
8) Paul Felder ITD LOSS
9) Ngannou by KO LOSS
10) Stipe by Decision LOSS

who knows tbh... Jones is the best ever imo , but styles make fights
Jones wouldnt KO Stipe like DC did he doesnt have that power, it would be an interesting fight

[UncleChael]

Tell me how Cormier loses this fight? #AndNewww Hugos who you got?

I got 3 World Championship Plaques on my wall that says I can take him down - Daniel Cormier

I beat every champion there has ever been except for one. - Daniel Cormier

He's got 12 pounds of gold and I want it - Daniel Cormier

Too fukking easyyy

[Thor4140]

how did DC look slow when he was throwing jabs/straights out like a piston landing them?? half of stipes punches were landing on DCS shoulder/back lol... i swear some people here know nothing about the game

DC is definitely carrying a ton of BF % but he trains with the best HW ever and hes super stocky, amazing wrestling with huge power and amazing clinch techniques .. this was a 50/50 fight and he came out on top

We used to call those a Jibbyism. I like to see Jibby stop one of those slow punches.

I'd box and jab DC then kick him in the head like Jon Jones did after hitting the crack pipe and taking roids.. ....

smh

[Demonata]

I hope everyone else made good money on cormier and pettis. This card was easiest card to bet in a long time.

[JIBBBY]

Always bet on Black.. DC wins..

He still looked slow and fat as fock... Stipe was hitting him with everything.. Stipe was winning that fight clearly.. DC's granite chin makes him almost unbeatable in the HW division.. He can take a punch from anyone.. Rumble Johnson couldn't knock out DC either and he hit him flush..

On a side note - I still can't get over how bad that Derrick Lewis vs Francis fight was.. I need to go find out how Dana White responded to that bout? I'm curious?

Anyone watch that owners vs owners UF season?
That was BS to the max.............

Did you all see Cormier turn full WWE 0n Lesnar after fight?"?

That was clearly rehearsed........

Derrick Lewis post fight.. He is honest, I give him that much..

[JIBBBY]

Interesting take on Francis N.. 4 hours ago this came in... Dana White basically let him off the hook.. I'm disappointed to see that..

UFC can do whatever they want. They should institute fines into the contract. If the ref tells either fighter or both to engage in action more than once it should be a 20% fine each time ref says it thereafter.

If you get at least 1 fine in two separate fights, the second fight should be automatic 50% fine + any other applicable fines during that fight.


People just can't do their damn jobs. Pathetic.

[UncleChael]

He got it done..

How about a tribute to DC...an undersized stocky guy who has dominated with his IQ, drive and awareness!

Crying in the cage a year ago...

Blessed with a granite chin and has Olympic caliber wrestling chops to fall back on also.. DC is gifted no doubt..

Still he's old now, fat and slow and was getting his ass kicked in this fight until the inside punch landed.. He did pop Stipe with some stiff jabs but that's about it..

That's keeping it real.. Hats of to DC though.. He got it done.. Wasn't easy though.. Stipe was game until he got caught.. Bottom line!!!

I like how you tack on Olympic level wrestling along with his iron chin as if he was born with that too. Give the man some credit. He had to work the majority of his life to develop that level of wrestling.

The Chin and hard head of his was God given, but the wrestling he worked for...

I'm not knocking DC, but the bottom line is he can't control his eating and struggles mightily to keep his weight down.. That's a red flag and I don't respect that..

When DC retires he'll probably get up to 280 and health problems..

Hold up... huh? Has he missed weight for a fight at 205? Maybe it’s hard for him but he gets it done. It seems his weight gain here was quite purposeful and the ease with which he put it on shows that he did really have to work to make 205.

Are you saying you’d respect him more as a 205 and 185lb champ just because he would look more ripped? I’m not sure he could make 185 ever, even with the best of habits.

I'd respect all fighters more if they didn't let their weight get out of hand between fights that's all I'm saying.. DC looked fat and slow to me against Stipe.. I think DC is very fortunate he landed that inside punch as Stipe was winning that fight..

Look at the number and strikes landed.. It was all Stipe except for those stiff jabs DC landed at times.. DC is talented and still one of the best ever, I don't dispute that...

^Back when he was fighting HW in strikeforce. He's weighed in heavier in the past than he did for the Stipe fight. DC has never been super shredded, no doubt he puts the work in though, maybe doesn't eat super healthy after training but I'd still put his cardio up there with any heavyweight. Another HW that has a bit of pudge but has great cardio is his training partner Cain...
