man this ufc is full of drama lol...

Man, I use to throw a big party whenever there was a big boxing or UFC bout but there has been so many clunkers that you never know what you're going to get. The interest level in fighting has really gone in the shitter. Pretty damn sad. I would have a huge BBQ spread and a crowd watching it on the big screen. Not anymore. I can't even get my wife and kids to turn off Netflix for an hour to watch. Plus the fights end too damn late at night. It's 1am on the East Coast, most people are hitting the clubs not watching a pillow fight.

[Hugo de Naranja]

I still pay for all of them but I usually end up watching it by myself. My phone use to ring off the hook. "Are you watching the fight tonight". Not anymore.

They were talking on Rogan's podcast about how the ground game disappeared once people started greasing. You can apply vasoline or whatever pre-fight, or you can take a bath with baby oil in it and it comes out your pores when you sweat. All to prevent submissions.

If they can somehow do away with that, it will be better for the UFC. Good ground action, and the threat of that will open the standing game up more.

I think the Fertitas sold at the top. One last big push with Rousey and McGregor as the main starpower, then sell it off.

UFC should cancel the GSP-Bisping fight and have GSP fight Woodley and Bisping v Romero.

[Sanity Check]

Almost all the pros thought Wonderboy won the fight.

This is how I thought the card would play out.

Tyron Woodley (c) < Stephen Thompson
Khabib Nurmagomedov < Tony Ferguson
Rashad Evans < Daniel Kelly
Lando Vannata > David Teymur
Alistair Overeem > Mark Hunt


Marcin Tybura > Luis Henrique
Mirsad Bektic < Darren Elkins
Iuri Alcântara > Luke Sanders
Mark Godbeer > Daniel Spitz


Tyson Pedro > Paul Craig
Amanda Cooper < Cynthia Calvillo
Albert Morales > Andre Soukhamthath

If Wonderboy got the decision, I would have gotten them all right except for Lando vs David Teymur.

...

[Hugo de Naranja]

Teymur/Vannata wins FOTN. Elkins and Alcantara win POTN

[Hugo de Naranja]

Looks like my theory about Lando having a shallow gastank panned out.

[Plaza23]

Dana seems pissed. He said he had Wonderboy winning 3-2. Said Woodley didn't help his cause tonight.

Super accurate picks!

[Hugo de Naranja]

I think she was surprised how quick and flexible Calvillo was. She was going doing some gymnast type stuff to get into position to choke her out.

Calvillo is a really good scrambler

[Hugo de Naranja]

Good double hit Hugo!!!!

Thanks bro. We were both on that dog money train tonight. Teymur has been my boy since his TUF run. Hopefully he doesn't become a huge favorite in future matchups since I love betting him. Cool dude and his brother is a good prospect as well.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Kierra Anderson Douglass - the wife of NFL'er Harry Douglass.

Is this from that show Empire?

[Hugo de Naranja]

Wow! Surprised 2 of the judges gave it to Kelly.

Most media members gave it to Kelly

http://mmadecisions.com/decision/783...s-Rashad-Evans

[Hugo de Naranja]

Agreed.. I gave round 1 to Vannata only.. Vannata was the aggressor but probably not enough to win rounds 2 and 3 IMO.. Tough fight to judge but probably the right call.

I had it 29-28 Teymur as did most others. Was hoping to live bet him after R1 in the (+500) range but didn't get the chance. He was a measly (+130) and I thought he lost R1.

http://mmadecisions.com/decision/783...Lando-Vannatta

[Hugo de Naranja]

thanks boss. only 1 i follow in UFC

No problem brother

[Hugo de Naranja]

Fukk this I'm cashing out Woodly . Hope this isn't a mistake hah

Nice parlay hit there. Did you end up hedging?

[Hugo de Naranja]

What an awful fukking fight. I'm dozing off with this shit. This entire card has been shit.

I thought most of the card other than the main event was pretty good with some solid scraps throughout. Good comebacks and finishes.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Agree. Clear as day Joe is biased towards Wonderboy also. Not sure wtf Woodley is waiting for here....playing a dangerous game. I was expecting a Melendez vs. Sanchez esque fight here...boy was I wrong lol.

Melendez vs. Sanchez was one of my favorite fights ever. Woodley was (+375) after R4

[Kermit]

Almost all the pros thought Wonderboy won the fight.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/3/5/...ompson-ufc-209

Between the 4th and 5th round, Woodley's own corner told him that he needed a finish.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Took teymur and parleyed with woodley

+260
+100. Nice !!!!!!

thanks bro !!!!!!!

No problem my friend. Let's keep the money train rolling.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Thompson DID NOT easily win 3 rounds. Those 3 rounds were the most lackluster, zero action rounds I think I've ever seen in the ring. Yes, I think he barely won those rounds but neither one of them was doing much. He threw like 3 punches to Woodley's 2. Come on, that's horseshit. Those rounds were a draw to me. Woodley took 2 rounds clearly and the last round was a 10-8 and could have been an early stoppage from that one punch. That was enough for Woodley to win IMO, although I would have called it a draw for them both being asshats.

Double DQ under Pride Rules

[Hugo de Naranja]

Thank man.. It's my birthday today and I wasn't gonna lose this event.. 3/4/68... Nice birthday present indeed ...

Glad you won as well Hugo.. We were both on Woodley.. It's been an up and down first 2 months for this year betting MMA for me so this was the event to get the wheels rolling in the right direction..

Happy birthday bud! Hope it was a great one.

[Sanity Check]

[Hugo de Naranja]

I get that the main event sucked and Khabib/Ferg got cancelled but there were some GREAT fights on this card. Comebacks in Alcantara/Sanders and Elkins/Bektic, some great finishes in Calvillo/Cooper and Overeem/Hunt, and a classic striking battle in Teymur/Vannata. All good stuff imo.

[Ralphie Halves]

True, but making the ground game more of a threat would open up the chance to KTFO.

It's not like they even let them do much on the ground before standing them anyway. It won't become a greco roman wrestling match.

[Sato]

The judges tend to give it to the champ when the fight is close. Stephen tried to point fight his way to the championship. I had Lando picked. Great fight nonethless.
