UFC 139: Hendo vs Shogun

[Tree Rollins]

Good job the judges for once. Even though it was 48-46 IMO.

WHAT.A.FIGHT.

[Das Jax]

If this is a 10-8 round. Henderson should still win 48-46. Henderson won the 1st 4 rounds. Shogun won the last 1:30 of the 4th, and the whole 5th.

Called perfectly. Forget the award for fight of the night... we just saw fight of the year.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

no 10-8 rounds even awarded

[Tree Rollins]

shogun has a hell of a chin. Should have been finished at least 3 times.

[Kaladarus]

I didn't know you could live bet a decision. Hit Hendo at -140.

[Tree Rollins]

Is Dan henderson seriously 41 years old? He just dominated an elite, prime 29 year old Shogun Rua for 3.5 rounds....WOW.

[brooks85]

hendo!!!

damn my only loser was story by decision, havent had a perfect night in many moons, i hope that sotn makes up for it

[brooks85]

aww ****!!!

[5mike5]

HENDO, WANDERLI, and bonnar just made my month on a 20 to 1 parlay

[spurginobili]

Great fight. Hendo landed some brutal shots.

Shogun is a warrior and gracious in defeat.

[5mike5]

that was a flat out WAR

[JuicedUp]

this whole card was amazing!

[jacktheknife]

Got .7u on Castillo, McDonald, Bader, Torres and Rhonda Rousey.

On Hendo straight up at +120 for 1.6u

Went for it, .8u on Wanderlei at +155

Just got back a sliver of my round robin flyer, but the bitches can have the whole thing. Well played, gentlemen.

[Vaughany]

Unbelievable

[scofflaw]

Here are my picks for 139. I should make my own thread to log this stuff, but I figure I'm not good enough at capping to be influencing anyone. Meh.. here we go.

Faber - 10u
Kampmann - 3u
Silva - 1u
Bonner - .5u
Weidman -.5u
>.5 on Bader, Baczynski, RDA, McDonald, Hendo

Parlay (.5)
Faber, Weidman, Torres
Faber, Hendo, Torres.

Faber is my biggest play and he'll make or break the night. Bowles hasn't looked good in either of his UFC fights. I think Faber is better at everything and the price on him is a great.

I lean Kampmann because he's so technically sound and well rounded. His slow starts are a little worrying but I can't see Story beating Kampmann any other way than cage stalling ala Alves. I think Kampmann's grappling is too good for Story to be able to dictate the fight.

I'm don't really like Silva, I just need that action! lol. The deciding factor for me was simply experience. Silva has been in the cage with the best and Le is relatively inexperienced in MMA. Le throws loads of kicks with straight punches, compared to Silva's mostly wild looping strikes. Le's style looks awkward at times and I'm curious to see how he'll stack up against more relevant fighters. I'll take a wild guess and say I think Wand tags Le with a clean counter hook and drops him for the TKO... but I wouldn't be surprised if Le put the lights out with any solid connection.. I don't think it will be a kick though.

Might go bigger on Hendo.

I don't think I've ever liked so many underdogs in an event.. I'm a little worried

Added 1u Silva. 2u Hendo

Actually made it 2 more on Silva, not one. The line went up again.

What a night!! Easily the most successful betting night I've ever had. I even hit a +3300 parlay (Hendo, Silva, Faber, Bonner, Bader, Weidman) Only 2 losses, a last minute micro on Silva by decision (+1000?) and .5u on RDS.

[knownone]

I scored it a 47-47 draw.

Same, was actually surprised when I got on here to see so many people scoring Hendo ahead.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

great fight, that being said i don't think either has anything to offer Jones. He takes care of both within 2 rounds

[Tree Rollins]

Rampage is fighting on the Japan card in a couple months. Definitely see them doing Rampage v. Shogun since they're both coming off a loss....I'm guessing now that either Rashad fights Hendo and the winner takes on Jones after he beats Machida, or maybe Dana will just choose one of the the two, either Hendo or Rashad....Should be interesting.

[knownone]

If they ever wanna give Hendo Jones now is the best time IMO.

[Kaladarus]

Top to bottom that was one of the best cards of all the time.

[brumbies]

lol someone vandalised rua's wiki page, stating that he lost to henderson via WHS Soccer Kicks, Warrior Style.

[LearningTree]

It's really sad that dumb MMA fans want to cheer on a mediocre fighter like Wanderlei Silva when he has no chance in hell of winning a belt or contending in any division. He' a bum. He still fights like a retarded caveman. He's irrelevant. Period. Get over it. Same goes for Cro Cop and whoever else. People need to grow up. MMA fans are so ******* stupid and annoying.

[NunyaBidness]

MMA fans are so ******* stupid and annoying.

I've got one in mind.

[more_betterness]

Draw in my book... I think the judges gave hendo a 10-8 in the third because no one in their right mind doesn't give Rua a 10-8 in the third. Especially because one nut job judge gave Bonnar his fight at 30-25.

[GoGoGadget]

I have no clue how one judge gave Bonner two 10-8 rounds but doesn't give Shogun a 10-8 round in the fifth. I am really happy Dan won though

Do you suffer with autism by any chance?

I cheer for him not because i think he has any chance of becoming champion, but because i bet on him at + money to beat an older untested fighter

[Vaughany]

I guess Shogun will suspended for a while after tht beating tho. He might not have enough time to heal and have a proper camp for the Japan event

[Tree Rollins]

If they ever wanna give Hendo Jones now is the best time IMO.

I agree. If you're EVER gonna do it, you have to do it now. The guy is 41, you could say that another year wouldn't be a big difference, but just like any other fighter father time will show up all up a sudden and one day he'll walk into the ring an old man. There is no way to predict it. If that fight is ever going to happen, you have to do it now.

[Tree Rollins]

Good point. Wikipedia says the Japan event is February 25th. So it would be close. If not Shogun, i wonder who Rampage will fight? Any idea?

I hope they don't bring that dipshit King Mo over and give him the shot. He doesn't deserve a fight like that yet, imo.

[rocky mattioli]

really doesn`t matter(if you didn`t have money on shogun/hendo)...best fight i`ve ever seen.....dana should give em both 100 g`s extra and call the fricking thing a draw and order a rematch as soon as both are able.....

i can`t remember a better fight...imo,blows bonnar/griifin away.....both guys were seriously hurt in this fight and found their way back somehow....it was super-human....

i know that m.f.`er(dana) is kicking himself in the ass that this wasn`t on fox the other night....

Overall I'll str8 up and honest and say I am not thrilled about any of these plays. All of these could very well lose as they are risky fights, I know I am going against many of you guys on these picks.

Either in for a VERY good night or my WORST night ever!

However, this card is rewarding enough - I can't wait for this stacked event, tuning into facebook fights now!

GL everyone!!!

Yeaaaaaaaaa! Not the best night, would be up about 600 if not for ******* story, should have listened to my buddy or not have gone as heavy.

Would have hit that other small parlay had faber not been such a stud!

But hey, I'll take 300!

For those doubting weidman, i hope everyone realizes this man is the real deal and a stylistic nightmare for just about everyone. Should have paid the juice and taken him str8 up and not just the parlay.

And I've read a lot of people on here think rda got robbed. While it was close, lol at robbery. 29-28 tibau all the way, arguably 30-28.

Hendo / shogun was one of the best fights I've ever seen, hands down. Probably would have been best fight ever had the 5th been more competitive. And wand's comeback.... FUCCCKK YEA! Its moments like this that make me love this sport. PRIDE SON!

Cheers to mma and cheers to everyone on here, I hope you all did well. Just got home from an epic showing at my friend's bday party, the roof almost blew off during the hendo fight!!!!

I LOVE MMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bogbat]

Same, was actually surprised when I got on here to see so many people scoring Hendo ahead.

I found it hard to justify any 10-8 rounds for Henderson because Shogun came back and inflicted his own damage after being nearly stopped each time. I did watch it on a shitty stream and I was a bit distracted at times so I don't know if I would have it the same a second watch through. Regardless, I had Dan so I was happy with the outcome.

EDIT> Fight metric is out : http://blog.fightmetric.com/2011/11/...icial-ufc.html

They scored it the same as I did.
