    Makdessi -135

    Patrick is being ridiculously overvalued here and I'm not sure why. I'd be inclined to believe that it's the perception that Makdessi is susceptible to being grinded out by good wrestlers, but Patrick is not a good wrestler. He does the exact same thing every fight, and I can almost guarantee you that he'll circle for a few moments as if he's going to strike, and then he'll wildly rush towards Makdessi, throw a punch, and try to wrap his arms around Makdessi's legs for a takedown. He's incredibly predictable. He's also never fought outside of Brazil before, for what that's worth here, and has shown to fade deep into fights, which is something Makdessi should be able to take advantage of, if Patrick even makes it that far. One of the only things I'm truly worried about is the fact that Patrick is a southpaw, and Zahabi has shown over and over again that he doesn't understand that matchup. If that weren't a concern, I'd bet much bigger here.

    Makdessi -135 6u.

    I personally put a small wager on Patrick at decent + odds. He looked fired up at the weigh-ins. I'll live bet Makdessi if Patrick can't hold him down in round one.

    Patrick is supposed to be pretty decent on the ground isnt he? I had a little trouble finding information on his jiu jitsu. I get the impression he won a few titles but im not sure on what level.

    Bet it based on some comments before but now upping the action MD. Thank you for posting and bol to all.

    The line drop on Makdessi really just gives us a much better bet. I think the public is focused on believing that large reach advantages are the be all and end all. Well, when you are Spider or Bones that may be true...not Patrick.

    Makdessis striking is in another realm

    To anyone who tailed, I hope you at least feel it was a good bet. I'm pretty happy with it, clearly right side I think.

    Was on Makdessi before I saw this thread. Wondering why there's not more bitching though, this seems one of the worst mma judgements I've seen, based on the final two rounds which I saw (2-0 Makdessi). Especially the 30-27.

    Yeah, it was pretty awful. The decision annoyed me, but hey, at least it wasn't Bendo/Thomson.

    Not the worse decision ever (although the scores were perhaps a travesty....30-27?) as Rogan said "i feel sick"!! This is why i find it hard to pull the trigger on mma anymore. Almost put a few hundred on makdessi, would of been uber-pissed

    Yea, that 30-27 was unconscionable, inconceivable, and the worst judging on planet earth.

    Think I coulda stomached losing a split dec of 29-28s. I had it 30-27 Makdessi when I rewatched (think I value sig. strikes more than most judges). The 30-27 though almost makes it a "Thor, check in" moment.

    there you go fellas, my theory is proving to be right, a few random fights (which likely will go to dec) happen to have questionable calls.

    This time it was Mak and Watson.

    A good capper will be good at predicting fights, a great capper will be good at predicting potentially bad calls. Adapt or die.

    all you can do is get your $ in good...much like in poker, the rest is up to the poker gods or in the case of MMA, the jackass judges
