Yes

I think so. There's a reason we have a 3 round main event. The young kid is the next big thing and UFC doesn't want him to gas out in late rounds. UFC wants him to get a big name under his belt, even if that win is against a 36 year old Brunson.

Shouldn't matter though as I see him knocking Brunson out in rd 1.

**Sanity Check** · 08-01-20, 05:52 PM

(I feel like I'm posting too much of late, said nothing about main event cardio over the last week)

Only want to point out Shahbazyan has only gone to rounds 2 and 3 once in his career.

Its normal for guys who chronically finish in round 1 to gas out in deeper waters. The first time they go there.

I made $$ fading team head mooment in the past. This time I might have to put my $$ on team head mooment, instead. Strange world we living in.

I think this is the single most likely outcome but Shahbazyan's cardio looked awful in the Stewart fight (the only time he's ever been out of R1), and he was able to use his wrestling as a safety blanket, something that he won't be able to do here.

8/1 UFC

Vincent Luque -200 (2 units)

We will be looking to bet Brunson live later in the fight then but make no mistake that fighters improve and so could Shahbazzyan and his cardio.

Sure but I need to see the improvement before laying (-3xx)

Live Betting:
Durden (+116) 1.03u after R1

**Sanity Check** · 08-01-20, 06:22 PM

Round 1, 10-9 Durden.

Never landed significant strikes, never came close to finishing the fight.

**Sanity Check** · 08-01-20, 06:28 PM

Significant strikes in round 2 were not.

"17 Gutierrez 14 Durden."

Significant strikes guy showing once again why his is the number #1 bs stat

Gutierrez outstruck Durden by a larger margin than that.

**Sanity Check** · 08-01-20, 06:37 PM

I guess they scored the 1st round a 10-8 due to the new california rules being in effect.

California ruining the sport, like you'd expect.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 08-01-20, 06:38 PM

I thought a Draw was the right score. Durden had Back Mount for almost all of R1 and Gutierrez did literally nothing.

I would prefer 10-9.

Gutierrez did nothing. But Durden also did nothing aside from holding and throwing pitter patter punches.

Its like a round where nothing happened with only a few jabs landed.

I disagree but I understand where you're coming from. Durden definitely didn't win the fight. I think 28-28 Draw and 29-28 Gutierrez are both defensible scores.

Agree.

New california rules are bad IMO. Lay and pray on someone for 5 minutes: 10-8. Taking someone's back and doing nothing for 5 minutes: 10-8.

It encourages holding and stalling. If you get a good position you can do absolutely nothing and the judges will reward you as if you had almost finished the fight.

**Hugo de Naranja** · 08-01-20, 06:55 PM

Here's how media had it. Pretty even split between Gutierrez scores and Draw scores

Never seen either of them fight.

Tiny on Maness. His only loss to Taylor Lapilus who has lots of wins in the UFC.

Another one! lol

**Sanity Check** · 08-01-20, 07:36 PM

I think Maness got round 3.

Outstruck him with his back to the fence.

Don't know if the judges will agree though.

**Jake paul 1** · 08-01-20, 07:37 PM

Munoz didn’t lose that fight lol

Martinez+Saenz Goes Distance (-155) 0.31u to win 0.2u after R1

**Sanity Check** · 08-01-20, 07:49 PM

Sports science !@#%.

Vegas could be one of the easiest places to cut weight BTW.

The low average humidity makes it easier to sweat and evaporate water from the skin.

Blablabla.

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 08-01-20, 07:56 PM

Ball shot every fight!

This is NUTS!

Everyone thinks Trevon Giles sucks.

After James Krause came close to beating him on 24 hrs notice.

Trevon Giles has to have a lot to prove here.

**Sanity Check** · 08-01-20, 08:09 PM

Israel Adesanya and Derek Brunson both looking like Wesley snipes from demolition man.

If Tyron Woodley adopts the same hairstyle.

The world will implode.

**PhoKing** · 08-01-20, 08:09 PM

what a bitch move giles

**adila1401** · 08-01-20, 08:09 PM

Giles just fainted in hallway, no fight??

**Hugo de Naranja** · 08-01-20, 08:09 PM

Trevin Giles has fainted in the hallway and that bout is cancelled. What a bitchh
