UFC 227: Dillashaw vs. Garbrandt 2 (August 04, 2018)

[Thor4140]

Swanson always gives up the neck when he's losing fights.. That fight was kinda easy to see play out on the sub for the Brazilian.. Cub is on his down hill slide now... Could get bounced from the UFC soon.. He's fade material from this point forward I think..

he is fighting killers Jibby there is now way they are going to cut him

[firekillex]

lol swanson getting cut

[firekillex]

sucks seeing cody lose again though.. basically the exact same story as the first fight, hes the faster fighter but when he hurts TJ he gets way to hyped up and just starts winging bombs, TJS eye wouldve started becoming a big problem if he just fought smart, sucks to see ... if he fought like he did against Cruz nobody is beating Cody Garbrandt ....

2 ko losses in a row now , gonna be a tough climb back up

hopefully they do DJ / Cejudo 3 never seen a fight that deserved a rematch more i scored it a draw
then Moraes/ Tj that would be fireworks

Jibbby? New rule here?

[Sanity Check]

If seems like Garbrandt doesn't respect TJ as a man.

Cody doesn't respect TJ's power and doesn't bother with defense the way he normally would. That might have made it easier for TJ to land so many strikes.

That said TJ's hands improved a lot similar to how Cody's kicks improved. TJ is always getting better which is nice to see in a champ.

[BIGDAY]

WRASTLERS...…. RUUUUUUUUULE!

[JIBBBY]

Glass jaw Cody knocked out twice by a guy with no power

Cody I noticed really holds his chin high when swinging.. It's wide open to be touched.. TJ touched it.. TJ really doesn't have one punch power, but he kept connecting on the chin over and over and rocked Cody.. Dude was on queer street, very rocked..

TJ was impressive last night, he came forward and really tried to finish once he started to connect in the exchanges.. He bullied the bully...

[JIBBBY]

I guess, that's 3 losses in a row now and he hasn't looked very good in those losses.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Cub-Swanson-11002

[Ghenghis Kahn]

I was rooting for Cejudo and looks like many of you cashed on him but did he even land more than couple punches? Mighty Mouse got robbed.

Cody's still young so he'll eventually use his head. You can't swing for the fences all the time when your chin's a suspect.

[UncleChael]

Robbery without a gun.

i feel the same way. The guy just rushes everything if he would just pick his shots. Tj does what no other opponents does to Cody when Cody just comes in and pummels them. He fights back and Cody just leaves all kinds of counters cause he tries to kill ya. I guess he just feels he can knock anyone out but TJ knows this better than anyone.

i don't think he got robbed. I actually took Cejudo but man a champion to me never should lose a fight like that. If they gave it to DJ i would have been fine with it. Those rounds were to close to be giving those to Cejudo when ithe champ has defended his title 11times. Sometimes a guy who beats everyone most want to see him lose so they give all close rounds to the challanger because they are shocked a guy who is dominate might have had a little hard of a time in a round. my thoughts of course.

jibby always ends the night with comedy gold. Three losses to Frankie T City and this fuking beast who should have beaten Tcity lol.

Ok, if Cub loses his next fight which I will betting on the fade then he might get cut.. He's excellent fade material right now as long as the match makers don't feed him a complete bum, Cub is on his way out of the UFC and on his way back to Bellator soon..

Most if not all UFC fighters get cut after 4 straight losses, that's just fact..

lol u are aware he was headling (TV) most of his fights right? last night he fell terribly to the third fight on a much anticipated pay per view show. He is a good fighter and a exciting fighter which is what Dana loves the most. He isn't going anywhere just like Cerrone. I would even say Cerrone would get cut before him. These two guys are just not the top of the heat but very nice solid fighters.

[Sanity Check]

Remember when Cody Garbrandt fought Dominick Cruz and Cody's defense looked tight?

I still think Cody doesn't respect TJ as a man. Cody doesn't respect TJ's power and acts like TJ can't hurt him.

That could explain why Cody's defense looked great in the Dominick Cruz and looked like !@#% when he fought TJ.

There's evidence for it. Cody and Team Alpha Male are always criticizing TJ saying how TJ never knocks anyone out and saying TJ doesn't have power in his hands. I think they actually believe that BS and that's probably a big part of why Cody lost the fight so easily.

Back at it with some picks. Really think there's some good value spots on this card. May add some on Dillashaw and/or Torres but pretty much finalized on my bets. Currently 19th in a hotly contested Toutmaster. Let's get it!

Dillashaw vs. Garbrandt

Dillashaw (-120) 3.6 u to win 3 u

Hedge: Garbrandt Round 1 (+550) .5 u

DJ vs Cejudo

DJ ITD (+115) 1 u
DJ Round 5 (+1425) .2 u

Swanson vs. Moicano

Swanson (+370) 1.8 u

Viana vs. Aldrich

Viana ITD (+240) 2.2 u
Viana Round 1 (+400) .5 u

Hedge: Aldrich Decision (+300) 0.95 u

Santos vs. Holland

Ramos vs. Kang

Ramos ITD (+135) 1.6 u

Torres vs. Perez

Torres ITD (+388) 1.3 u

Zhang vs. Taylor

Zhang ITD (+205) 1 u

Not a very good card. Once again won on my most confident fight but really have been struggling the past few cards. Dropped a couple spots on Toutmaster as well. Just seems like there's been some weird shit lately in fights (Santos-Holland featuring mostly grappling, Ramos vs. Kang featuring hardly any...). Maybe the break is for the best.

Fukk man..

People were asking you about that and still waiting for an answer. Since you are the pimp of women's MMA.

Maybe we would have bet more if you gave us the ok signal.

Can't really complain though..good work

Sorry buddy. I completely forgot to post my thoughts on that fight here this time around. Had to do a trial this week so didn't have much free time.

Next time I got a lean, I'll defintely make sure to post.

[GunShard]

I won my bet on TJ. There's definitely going to be rematch between DJ and Cejudo for sure. Looks like Wrestlers are taking over the UFC championships: TJ, Cejudo, Cormier and Woodley. Though Woodley not technically a champion.

[JIBBBY]

These little guys it's all about points for each and every round and position control is huge on the cards... Like BIGDAY said wrestlers rule!!!! Especially with the little guys that are hard to finish..

Still I think Mighty Mouse gets the next trilogy fight and works on his wrestling defense.... Nothing like a wake up call with a great fighter that doesn't experience losses very often..

Woodley not the champion? Since when? Surely you dont' recognize Colby Covington's fake belt as the real belt, do you?

[JIBBBY]

Colby a wrestler that hasn't gone away from his strengths in fights.. However when an elite wrestler meets another elite wrestler I think you gotta go with the better striker on paper..

Colby is game in any fight with his wrestling and pressure.. Colby is confident and talking trash.. Colby is Chael Sonnen 2.0.. ...

Anyone else hit the Cujudo by split +2000?

Never get arrested on a weekend. Finally out though and she's not pressing charges. Could have been a lot worse. Just drunk in public basically charge.

Dem you're always raising a bit of hell when you drink and gamble on MMA, what's up with that buddy? Chill as you let your emotions get the best of you... Look at the bright side though as you didn't throw a bar stool thru the window at some bar this go around. ..

[PaperTrail07]

Yeah if your committing a felony at least make sure its profitable lol...

Lol i have been keeping my cool for the most part as in just raging in the thread instead. Viana losing pissed me off bad. It was hard but i just went outside the casino and breathed fresh air but Demetrius johnson losing when he hasnt lost in like 10 years was the last straw. I had a ton of parlays that just needed him to win. At least next ufc event isn't for few weeks so time to recover. Yeah jibby that day was worse with the bar stool. This time was just cigarette tray.so it's an improvement. Next time ill just shoot someone with squirt gun.

Demonata no matter how bad your night was, it still probably wasn’t as expensive as Hugo’s - even after paying bail. Wasn’t he 25-30 units down? Can only assume BIGDAY hijacked his picks..

[stonebanks]

Fortunately I completely missed this card as I was at a wedding, looks like a total washout.

For those who lost their kidney on this event, don’t worry, you still have another..

Nice break then it’s time it’s to get off the canvas, spit the dust out and come swinging for the next one.

Stone.

I missed out on betting most of the card as well and I feel lucky for it.. I would have got lit up also based on all the results.. Was out on a date Saturday night, summer time got the feelers out.. Gotta do it, putting sports gambling on the back burner for now..

This was a card where I think alot of solid MMA gamblers lost.. I don't think anyone picked Henry to win by decision to close out the event.. That about sums up this card....

Some picks on MMAMania write ups might deliberately have been written to throw people off their game.

I'll give you an example.

Their pick was Brett Johns over Pedro Munhoz.

They said Johns having a 7 inch reach advantage would make a big difference in the fight.

BUT if you look at Pedro Munhoz' previous fights he's always @ a reach disadvantage. Munhoz had a 7 inch reach deficit against Rob Font and he still dropped Font with a left hook.

That's why its not good to tail or follow other pplz plays. Have to try to think for yourself and win/lose on your own merits.
