I've heard he let up, he had a problem cutting b/c he added muscle and needed to adjust, and also that he was ill leading up to the fight. No clue which excuse is right (maybe all?)... but I think we can all agree he wasn't himself. He's fighting Mendes next right? Wonder what the lines will look like there. I don't think Chad will be "money" in this one.
I totally agree. When Aldo was firing on all cylinders, hominick was in big trouble. If he could do that for 25 min WATCH OUT!
War Aldo.

News that Aldo was recovering from infection and had been sick. GRRRRRRRR... Things I need to know BEFORE the fight.

No way dude! Nog was soooooo slow in that fight.
I just wish like Hoff said that they would let the bettors know before the fight happens that they are sick. Although I know that isn't going to happen.

Should be a exciting fight, thought the line would actually be higher. Im on it small, i never go big on Bellator fights.

Gd job Hoff, far too many people getting carried away with the whole "always pick the wrestler" theory! Didn't make sense to me when Freire had already proved he can deal with them wen he faced Warren.

For me, it was more of a value play (+160), even though I didn't necessarily favour Straus. Same thing applied when I bet on Hawn to beat Good and that turned out to be profitable (though the decision was a bit dubious). I never bet much on these value plays, but I think they're worth a flier bet.
EDIT: Nice job by the way, Hoff.

Gettin Straus at +160 was certainly good value in comparison to what the line ended up at so can't knock that.

I didn't know if 100 units was a realistic goal for the year but I just might make it if I keep the same pace and didn't just jinx myself. Some positive events in June will have me about 50 units up half way through the year.

His days as an underdog are surely over. Kind of like Evan Dunham. It took about 3-4 fights of him being a decent dog before books got the clue. Story was a big dog against Hendricks and again against Alves. Unless he fights GSP or Fitch next, I see Story being a large favorite from now on.

Barely managed to pull out a winning night. A little sour on the Maldonado/Kingsbury decision, and pissed at myself for loving Guida the last month and then pussing out and not betting him.

What was up with Maldonado in the 3rd? He sealed Kingsbury's left eye and didn't throw any rights to his face the whole round
