+31.52 units tonight. The Davis hype on here was way out of control. Jones by unanimous decision at +335 was way off. I wish I'd laid more on that.

Out of the last 16 events I have won cash except for fight night 38 with all the underdogs. Got burned by Davis in UFC 172. Sometimes you get blind sided. My logic was he was a better wrestler so should get the takedowns and he beat Gus and Machida. In retrospect when two wrestlers fight each other there's a possibility than the wrestling can cancel each other out and the fight will stay standing. If this is a possibility you can't bet on the weaker striker. That's what I'm taking from this fight and into my future betting decisions.

Anybody know what rumble odds were in between round 1 and 2 live?

Actually, bookmaker had him at -800, -700, -600, -550, -465, -450 between rds 1 and 2. People were pounding Davis for some reason.

Davis's wrestling credentials are far superior then Rumble's.. His MMA wrestling was considered to be one of the best in the sport prior to this fight!!! Based on Rumble's past fights he typically kills himself to make weight and then gasses out in later rounds if he can't get the KO early on because of that.... That's how I thought the fight would go, as Davis would get Rumble down and beat on the tired man in rounds 2 and 3... WRONG I WAS....

Rumble was also fighting lessor fighters in a lessor organization up to this UFC fight!!!

Phil got punked in the 1st round and was never the same, and Rumble seemed to just have his number.. We saw the best Rumble Johnson to date I believe..

Picking Phil Davis to win was the logical call, but we all didn't consider Rumble would come in this prepared and in fighting shape.. It happened and it is what it is....

Davis looked lost out there, god awful performance. Admittedly I thought Rumble would gas and get taken down. Wtf, between this fight and the chick fight....I don't know man, being so off really has me questioning whether I am decent at predicting fights or if I just got lucky in the past.
First Davis screws me by beating Machida, then he screws me by losing to Rumble. He's lucky I'm not a sniper.
