Almost bought this PPV but realized I was only wagering 1 fight, so a pass for me.

im hearing how great these prelims were but in all honesty tthis was a bunch of shitty fighters going at it. Jimmo knocks out that can Perosh in 7 seconds. He hits him with a punch a three year old kid could have gotten away from for goodness sakes. Riddle fight was garbage. Riddle is nothing but a bonus fighter. he finally uses his wrestling cause he knows he has a shot at sub of the night. he can't box and the other stiff couldn't wrestle. McGee Ring was garbage to. Two average fighters just swinging at each other like a tough man competition and then of course one gasses. The only reason people think the prelims were great was because the main card was horrible. On another note it took Rogan till midway thru the third round to notice Faber landed a punch. How much did he bet on Barao? All this shit about Faber legg like it was falling off. It wasn't until after the fourth that Faber even realize it hurt a little. This card sucked and Rogan sucke with it.

u clearly miss Perosh again tonight

worst even i've had in a while. wiped out profits from the last two. only good decision i made last night was to watch a stream rather than order the ppv. lol.

think i may have to double down on shogun.

Great decision!

Yep, im gonna have a decent amount riding on Shogun in parlays by the looks of it

I don't even know what to say about last night.. boring show and nearly every fighter was playing it safe (like 148). The bad decisions cost me some money too.. there was no robbery but McGee and Lombard both won. Now I've got to use extreme caution betting on Canadian events, just like Brazilian. ****.

Kuivanen got the nod against Clarke...so not all Canadians were favoured in split decisions

Fair enough. I was out getting some food during that fight, then I stepped out to smoke a bowl during it's replay haha. OK, the only fight I think was influenced by the home crowd was Ring/McGee. Meh, I guess everyone is gonna lose money on a bad decision occasionally. I'm just bummed out I gave away all my profits from killing it on Munoz/Weidman.

[Vaughany]

McGee was also robbed against Ring on TUF tho which was in Vegas! Not disputing the home influence but have to look at the bigger picture as well...I think it's more to do with inept judges in general!

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

they say UFC 147 Silva/Franklin 2 did between 175-200K PPV buys i wonder if this will do worse (148 did 1 million buys)

Most people (including mmajunkie) scored Rounds 1 and 2 for Ring last night... and most people scored the TUF fight for him, too. He clearly won both fights in my eyes.

Dana White pissed off at the post fight presser. I really don't know what he expected, could see that coming from a mile off. No shit the crowd doesn't appreciate a manlet slapboxing match, lol.

From an entertainment perspective I really don't like the lower weight classes in MMA. I don't care if Dana says "you're not a fan of mma if you don't like that fight". Thats the same thing focking ben askren says when he bores people to death. It's not WHAT faber/barao were doing in the cage was "boring", it was the fact they were manlets. It's like peewee football, they do the same things as real football except when they tackle each other nothing happens, and when the qb throws the ball the kid doesn't catch it.

It's like these guys have no power in their punches whatsoever. Every single fight at 135 and below is a manlet dancing around. Uncle Creepy is the worst, guys technique is god awful, has no defense, but who needs defense when you are in a pillow fight with mighty mouse johnson, a product of the crack explosion in the 80s.

It's weird because in boxing the lower weight classes are actually exciting and fighters can actually punch. Rios would probably stretch Wanderlei Silva. This fight went down at 135

Riddle was funny at the press conference going on about the buckletoothed Brit who spat on him when he fought Osipzcak! Massive rant about it and how he wants to fight Hardy!

[Vaughany]

Hardy's response to Riddle calling him out... "Why the hell would I fight Riddle? There is no value in it for me and I'd be forced to look at him more than I have to now."

the funniest part was how dana tried to instigate something by saying riddle hates brits, but he had no idea about the spitting incident and it was purely chance that riddle actually does hate brits. lol.

[Vaughany]

ha yeah, was the one thing tht perked Dana up!

He called you guys "buttertooth" Brits. The insinuation is that your teeth are not white, but a yellowish color resembling that of butter.

hahaha I assumed it was "buckled" as in all ****** up like a Pirate's!

[DeFactoCrippler]

What does that say about MMA fans as a whole? People are just in denial about it.

[Beelzebubzy]

hahaha I assumed it was "buckled" as in all ****** up like a Pirate's!

Haha you are giving riddle too much credit here
no way he makes that joke
defacto or the devil himself could make that joke but riddle hell no

[Beelzebubzy]
