UFC on ESPN+ 13: De Randamie vs. Ladd (July 13, 2019)

[turbozed]

That's a lucky cash, did you play it for a good buck or a hedge?

Just put a random $50 on it since told my buddy I'd take a stab on it if I was doing well this event. Got it in about 5 minutes before the fight started. Complete lucky circumstance and not something I can take credit for. Just happy it cashed lol

[Hugo de Naranja]

Got Wrecked on that fight. penetrate Faber

[Sanity Check]

If Germaine wins it'll keep this +3500 alive.

Don't care either way.

Uriah will be fifty by the time Dilly gets back

Let me dream, bro!

[JIBBBY]

I might start playing every dog in the next event.. Throw MMA capping logic out the window with this event..

Fighters are evolving, dogs are cashing!!! I will adjust my game.. Not like years ago.. Keeping it real.. UFC level now everyone has a shot to win..

RESET RESTART.. Last 3 events I'm just trying to hang on and break even.. This event I got ruined though.. Won't even try to chase in this last fight..

[JIBBBY]

I love this walk out tune.. Warrior song for sure.

This would be my choice when trying to over achieve in life.. Solid tune!!

Don't look @ odds.

Just pick the person you think will win.

Two early stoppages in main & co-main but watevaz I'll take it.

[Thor4140]

Ah that was an easy win. Nice to be on the end of a horrible stoppage for a change

[turbozed]

Did not expect to win both GDR and BvB bets so easily. Up huge tonight! Hope everyone did well!

For supposedly one of the best MMA referee's, Herb Dean makes a lot of terrible calls.

[dlowilly]

Herb Dean needs to retire

[firekillex]

perfect punch
but another early stoppage imo


solid fights though ... wonder if GDR ever will fight cyborg

[Thor4140]

Horrible stoppage but i think it might have saved Ladd a beaten

every time I see him, he's screwing up a fight

I don't know who called him one of the best. He's the Angel Hernandez of MMA refs.

Cost me big as I had props covering basically everything but someone in round 1. Had it going distance, round 2, 3, 4, 5

[firekillex]

she 99% chance was done ... but i agreed it shouldve went at least a few more shots longer

[Thrilla]

DOG-LICOUS BABY!

[nyrider88]

another quick ending but will take it. round 1 ko +665

[b208]

seen ppl complain that masvidal landed 2 unnecessary shots.. good stoppage imo

[Hugo de Naranja]

Terrible card for me. Terrible stoppages on both co-main and main events. One in my favor and one not

[Thrilla]

Herb Dean was on the Joe Rogan podcast. Was hard to watch, one of the worst if not the worst JRE episodes.

[b208]

What was aspen gon do?

[Hugo de Naranja]

That last punch in the main event was a punch to the boob. Lol wtf

[nyrider88]

after watching the replay, aspen looked disoriented after she went down. the simon was completely robbed on the stoppage.

Don't get me started on Herb. SMH

[Sanity Check]

I was very tempted to load up on Ricky Simon and Mike Rodriguez.

Surprised I didn't, its what I normally would have done.

[Sanity Check]

I like De Randamie, Roberson, and Van Buren. Good luck!

I played GDR at +120 and kept on adding up to +160. I've been pretty high on Ladd when she debuted in the UFC, but think her finishes of Lansberg and Evinger make her out to be a bit more hyped than she deserves to be. Her major weapon is her top game, and she can finish anyone if she is able to get dominant position on the ground. But there are a ton of holes in her game which make it difficult to consistently get the fight where she wants against a person that doesn't want her to engage there. The first is that she move forward at one slow speed, and is wide open defensively. The second is that her wrestling really isn't that great. She's hit a level chance double leg on Lansberg, but against Eubanks she shot from far out and airplaned the shot. Mainly prefers the bodylock takedown, which GDR has defended well in her past 4 fights. The biggest issue is that she hasn't shown an ability to close distance to grapple, relying on her slow motion forward pressure to cause girls to clinch with her. While this works against poor strikers, it's going to be difficult to handle against GDR who has the range, knows how to use it, and the footwork to preserve it. Cardio-wise, Ladd looked to slow considerably against Eubanks, and she took a bit of damage in that fight just two months ago. Now with another hard cut in a short time span and it's likely she slows again, especially if she's chasing TDs at a longer distance and failing, all the while eating punches from GDR. I think her window to win is narrow (first 2.5 rounds), and she needs to rely on a tool that's not reliable. If she does wind up getting GDR down with time to work, then she has a great chance of finishing.

Lots of sharp calls from this guy, too.

Dana called him that. Dana was having a hissy fit with Big John at the time and used to call Herb the best in the business simply cause he was mad at Big John. You think Herb is bad now you should catch him in his early days. absolutely brutal.

I think this is why people give Herb Dean credit:

Khabib's manager has a few fights, too:

Turbo i swear knows every woman fighter on the planet. I normally just go with my eye test but when i don't know anything about a woman fighter Turbo is the go to guy. I looked at that fight and thought how in the hell is anyone not named Holm, Cyborg, or Nunes favored over this girl De Randmie. I mistakenly thought Ladd was that overrated Macey girl. The other chick fight i had no idea about either one. I didn't bet that one but by the records the girl who lost looked like a lock. I see someone say she pretty much was a lock and i was thinking about betting her but Terbo comes on and makes a case about the other girl and that was enuf for me to back away from the fight. Turbo don't win them all but he is pretty dam close.

[Thor4140]

I have 3u on Brianna at +130. Honestly, I don't think Morandin, Chambers, and Frota are a much higher level of opponents than Curran and Lima. Frota is probably the toughest out of all those girls due to sheer size alone but still was considered a terrible fighter coming into the fight. The big difference here is that Brianna came out and dominated all her opponents with consistently and showing good skills and cardio. Souza arguably lost her fight to Frota, or at least it was razor thing, and showed a lot of cardio issues and holes in her game against Morandin.

Brianna just matches up well with Souza. Brianna has the advantage striking and her takedowns look much sharper. She has also learned that Dagestani style wrestling staying in half guard and lacing the legs. Souza hasn't looked great on her back being too content to stay there and throw up armbar and triangle attempts. Brianna seems to be immensely strong while Souza isn't overpowering, except for sometimes being able to blitz her opponents in the first round (which inevitable leads to her slowing later). Brianna really should dictate where this fight takes place. If she's winning exchanges striking, she can keep it there. If Souza comes forward aggressively, she can change levels and land the TD. The only x factors here are that Souza has some sneaky power early and can sometimes surprise her opponents with her aggression. If that doesn't work, I don't see her winning rounds against Brianna, especially the later rounds.

This is high level handicapping
