Yeh. Bellator.

I had $8 on Emmanuel Sanchez.

Won me a whole $1.60'ish or roughly 4 units.

[Hugo de Naranja]

I'm in Vegas for March Madness so not much time to cap this card. I'll try to drop in and note some bets tomorrow. Best of luck all!

[Shagdogy]

Didn’t intend to have too much action this card and ended up with a good amount. Hope it works out. Probably shoulda just hammered Gutierrez and called it a day.

Gutierrez -195, risk 5u
Hill -145, win 1.5u
Shelton -130, risk 2u
Mitchell +130, win 2u
Peterson +205, win 2u

Fig/Formiga FDGTD -130, win 1.5
Peterson sub +1100, risk 0.25

Thompson/Makdessi/Fig/Vera/HillMarkos o2.5 parlay +459, risk 0.5u

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Im wondering if that pena/ peterson line is wrong. So many questions with pena, loss of will, completely lost out there in his last fight, weight cut issues...super confident he could even make bantamweight, then penetrates up? Goes down from lightweight to featherweight after one loss?? What a big cry baby, ohhh i lost so it has to be that im not big enough, lets go down to featherweight?? A lots of red flags with this dude, for sure.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Aldrich appears to be a low volume striker to me. A left hand power shot is the only thing she does, and I really don't see much power there. Barber is much more active and tends to throw quite a few kicks. Barber easily has strength and athleticism advantage. Barber has elbows from the clinch and killer elbows from top position. Barber can get the fight down with clinches and body locks. Barber is moving up to 125 after diet issues at 115. She supposedly was never fighting close to her potential because she was at such a calorie deficit with her diet. Aldrich is also moving up for some reason even though she wasn't a very big 115lber.

I agree that buying into prospect hype is a mistake, especially on a young unproven fighter. But I think that is more relevant in male fighters. Not trying to be sexist, but the lack of power and sometimes downright lack of skill in women's mma makes it easier to bet on an inexperienced fighter. There usually isn't as high of a chance of a better fighter getting caught and ko'd like there is with male fighters. I think the talent pool for female fighters is so small that there is still a huge disparity in talent between top female fighters and mid/low level fighters. I see this as one of those scenarios.

And the other option is I'm f*cking way off on this and will come back with my tail between my legs wishing I had listened to you!!

I tend to agree with you here, HOFF...Barber looks like a potential future champ...

[JIBBBY]

I'm guessing "Always bet on Black" is the deciding factor here?

Hill kinda sucks could lose by decision.. She gets hit alot..

A bunch of chick fights in the early prelims which I don't like.. I might not even bet them..

[The HOFF]

I tend to agree with you here, HOFF...Barber looks like a potential future champ...

Glad to hear it. She seems down to earth in her interviews and pretty mature for a 20 year old. This is the second largest bet I’ve ever made so fingers crossed I’m capping this one right.

[CasaBonita]

Thinking on onloading on Barber but dunno really JJ games at all, so i might pass...
Any deep thought on that rather than shes a future champ?

[Sanity Check]

$2.50 on Eric Shelton.

JJ Aldrich improved a lot since she began training with Rose Namajunas & friends.

Maycee Barber showed good skills in her 1st UFC fight which was at 115 lbs.

I think Barber will win but I wouldn't sell everything I own to bet on it.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Finalizing my bets now. Picking Shelton UD and Gutierrez R2 TKO for the first two

[Snowball]

oh well, UFC losing viewers without cable platform.

I miss Fox Sports every Fight Night no problem.

[Enfuego]

oh well, I guess Fight Night is a thing of the past on cable.

thanks for nothing, ESPN. UFC losing viewers without cable platform.

ESPN+ costs you $4.99 a month. Come on guy.

[Snowball]

ESPN+ costs you $4.99 a month. Come on guy.

I already pay for cable. I have 3 ESPN channels or more, now they want me to buy ESPN+?

Why was the last on ESPN now this on Plus only? The regular ESPN is showing COLLEGE WRESTLING tonight
and NCAAW and COLLEGE SWIMMING on ESPNU !!! sickening company.

And if you don't have cable, ESPN+ doesn't let you see events broadcasting on their cable channels.
mostly all garbage nobody wants to watch

I'll repeat, it cost you more to buy a cup of coffee than it costs you to get ESPN+. Quit being cheap.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

[209 Life]

Come on Formiga need this one bad

[Sanity Check]

AFAIK Alexis Davis has been training her wrestling / grappling with Sara McMann. She should have an advantage here. Not certain whether she's looking a bit *low energy* though, which can be a bad sign.

I don't understand how someone can show up to a fight in the UFC with low energy when they know they're fighting someone who is hungry and committed.

gg.

ESPN+ costs you $4.99 a month. Come on guy.

Not about the damn price, it's principle, u got 4 MAINSTREAM CABLE CHANNELS, N ONE NATIONAL IN ABC, wait 5, including Classic!
Those fuking idiots in the programming dept. cannot get it thru their thick fuking skills that UFC IS NOW, as far as popularity, compared to UFC 1-10.
But the fuks at ESPN would rather
just buy tv rights,
TAKE A LOT of sports programming POWER, from FOX,
N just bury EVERY GODDAM MAIN EVENT ON FUKING ESPN+!!!!!!

Answer this, is ESPN REALLY TRYING TO GROW THE SPORT OF UFC?
FUK NO!!
Money coming off the trees in that conglomerate, n as
UFC
HAS
BECOME
MAISTREAM,
AS FAR AS ESPN IS CONCERNED,
IT'S GETS LESS PLAY THAN WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN DID,
ON A TAPE DELAY OF 3 Yrs.

Why should I have to fuk with going thru fuking streaming, when u have
5 CABLE CHANNELS TO BROADCAST UFC.
thought ESPN acquisition of tv rights would move sport forward,
In the mainstream media at least, I.E. CABLE TV!!!!!!
FUK ESPN N HOW.THEY BROADCAST UFC

SORRY,
BEEN PISSED ABOUT THIS.FOR AWHILE!

NEEDED.TO.RANT

[the1yankee]

Guess now,

it's perfectly normal hooking up a laptop to large tv, if u wanna watch broadcast on a screen bigger than 30"

[Sanity Check]

Mitchell is known to fade late. Don't know if that 2nd wind will be there for him.
