Hope Glover is ok after taking one of the worst beatings I can remember anyone taking.

I might take Gustafsson to defeat Jones/Cormier in a rematch.

He's the only LHW that is actually improving.

Meh no evasive footwork whatsoever. Tends to fade when he is taking damage or being pressured effectively.

[JIBBBY]

Glad you got the KO there. I think I made a small profit this event. Just glad not to get killed on a weird Euro card.

Glad you survived it.. I probably lost $500 on each book with this event, this event was the biggest loss of the year for me so far in any one MMA event. I was due for a loss like this though.. It's been a while and it happens..

I need to reset, restart after this event and up my MMA capping game.. I've been relying to hard on MMA write ups lately with MLB starting up. I need to start capping better, watching more fights on video for match up comparisons.. I got away from that a bit and got lazy lately and it cost me.. Not like me

Meh no evasive footwork whatsoever. Tends to fade when he is taking damage or being pressured effectively.

I think the reason Gustafsson fades in fights is he covers a lot more ground when he's running away in a big looping circle than his opponent does moving in a straight line. If Gustafsson covers a total of 2 miles with his feet in a 5 round fight. His opponent might only cover half a mile. Gustafsson's big frame, being 6 foot 5, that also makes it harder on him. Its not fuel efficient for someone that big to constantly run around a cage like Demetrious Johnson.

I really like Gustafsson's hands. If he could stuff DC's wrestling, I think he could pick DC apart.

Jon Jones tried to blame his poor showing against OSP on his mom having her leg amputated. But I think its the coke that is screwing him up. He could easily go from GOAT to being a bum.

Marcin Held took that wicked knee coming in and got KO'd with the very first fight.. Was all down hill from there for me.. .. Musoke getting Ko'd in the last seconds of the fight was a killer, Madidi getting robbed with the decision stung me as well.. Omari winning by decision really hurt also... Mesha getting KO'd quickly in that questionable take a dive loss really did me in..

Did hit Smith straight and by decision.. The only big win besides Sobotto straight and Gus by KO for me... Also hit Taleb and Hermasson in a parlay that helped.. Those wins stopped me from losing $1000 on each book...

Looking over now I did lose on average $400 on each book, not the end of the world.. Still my biggest event loss for the year..

NEXT... UFC 212 as I expect to deliver better results.. June 3rd it is!!!!

[Sanity Check]

A few weeks ago, I started out with $40. Worked my way up to $280. Lost something like $180 on Marcin Held. $60 on Nico Musoke. $40 on Cirkunov.

I got wiped out on this card. LOL

I think I'll be back though.

I always get overconfident and start to make bad decisions. Not sure what to do about that.

Its hard to stay mentally disciplined over the course of weeks/months.

Yep Sanitiy those were all big plays for me on this card also. Madidi as well.. I still don't think they were all bad bets.. Nothing I would have changed on those 4 bets if I capped them til I was blue in the face..

These Euro cards can be straight up tricky.. This card was no different as appears none of us posting really killed it today..

Let's get back to the American cards I say!!!!

[Rich Benjamins]

I had a good night overall. But I put too much money on Alhassan. You always have to be careful betting on the latest hyped prospect. Cirkunov and Alhassan let everyone down today.

Smith and Sobotta kicked ass though.

[GunShard]

Oezdemir was the co main event underdog that was due for a win. Took about 6 fight cards of favorites winning. For anyone that was betting this way lol.

I surely won't count him out in future fights from this point forward.. He just seems like a goof to me though, but in all reality he's tough as nails and simply just wins..

Noted and checked for future fights....

Good job Rich on the event win. I'm jealous...

[Rich Benjamins]

Thanks Jibbs. I'm taking MMA betting very seriously this time around. Doing a lot of due diligence, and reviewing a lot of fights. I also get ideas listening to people like you and others on this forum. Keep up the good work!

Good job Rich on the event win. I'm jealous...

[firekillex]

negative card for me, taleb decision and gus ITD saved me from going down
took held submission and Ciruvenov ITD as well and had a parlay that got busted right away

oh well i think next time one of these small european shows ill just do a few fun parlays then watch the prospects to see how i like their game for future events..... didnt know half the guys on this card and had 0 time to study film

[UncleChael]

Preds win the cup without Ryan Johanson that's all I know boys. GM1 +145.

Nashville is going rock the Pens tonight! P#98
EDIT: TELL EM UNCLECHAEL SENT YA.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Grinded out a tiny event profit of less than a unit on this card while losing 2u on MEPs. Won on Hadzovic + R3, Smith, Akhmedov Decision, Sobotta + SNA + ITD, and Live Betting. Lost on Till Props, Madadi Props, Stasiak + Under, Hermansson Props, Taleb KO, Cirkunov, and Gustafsson Decision. All in all, I was happy with my picks and glad to get a few dogs right. Hadzovic's R3 finish was huge for me but I was hit and miss after that. A few results which really surprised me (Hermansson finishing Nicholson by early TKO and Cirkunov getting insta KO'ed) so I was glad to not get killed on this event. On to UFC 212.

[Demonata]

I lost 5 bets on that card. It sucked ass and wascthe worst ive ever done. Curcunov losing in my gustaffson curcunov parlay was the final nailbin the coffin. Im staying away from the next card. Got to recharge.

[PaperTrail07]

About 50-50 straight bets ......lost all parlays starting with Held cracking 2-3....smh
