Tate -270
Not Hunt by KO -190

.....and that's it I guess.

For Bellator I fired Marshall +175 though, idk seems like just about anyone who can touch Manhoef can knock him out nowadays.

Iaquinta/Damm official time changed to 2:26 by the commission making the under a win.

If you bet it, email your book - I don't expect accuracy to win out but it would be nice if it did

Good signs for Roy overall because cutting might be draining to Hunt's cardio

Nelson in to +110 and getting steamed, tempted to fire but I think I want to just sit back and enjoy the fight too much to actually fire it
wtf the guys like 5'10 unreal. This is why some fighters are best not given bonus checks .

Hunt did look better than expected at weigh in but had a big bottle of water with him so was clearly struggling

Only real surprise was how small Maximo Blanco looked.

Tate didn't tower over Nakai quite as much as I expected but her reach advantage should be pretty huge

Lim must cut so much weight to make WW, he always looks kinda Rumbleweight out there

If anyone wants to sweat the Lim/Sato fight i'll take Lim wins in R1 at evens if anyone wants the other side

UFC Australia card looks to be nearly complete and it is absolutely awful. Bisping/Rockhold is the only semi decent fight on the whole card. The Whittaker and Palelei fights don't totally suck, but everything below that is not worthy of a main card anywhere. On the plus side opposition looks good to win in Victoria and they've pledged to legalise MMA in the state and UFC have pledged to sell out a stadium in Melbourne so we'll get an actual PPV card next year here if that happens.

GL
Got a pretty decent sized bet in on hooker in his ufc debut, but don't see him winning here.

Blanco is just much more talented, hits harder, moves faster, more explosive, stronger, better wrestling, better BJJ, and should be strong enough to win the clinch battles.

I've backed blanco almost every fight, so maybe the jokes on me though.

I thought the same and still do but he did look a lot smaller at weigh in. Skillset wise he should be good though

Nelson +105 (3u)
Nelson sub +800 (0.5u)
Nakai +260 (2u) (did a very lazy cap on this fight, worried I may be waaay off.)
Walsh +215 (1u)
Tanaka -170 (3u)
Blanco -156 (3u)

Jury/horiguchi/lim -165 (2u)
Jury/horiguchi/lim/Caceres +113 (1u)

Blanco/tanaka/lim/hori/cac/jury/Roy +1026 (0.5u)

Just realized this card starts right after midnight, not noon. Sigh...

Here are all of my tears as an aussie (our cards usually start anywhere from 3am to 9am)

I'm hoping i'm right that Tate will dismantle Nakai easily but we'll find out soon I guess. Rest look good although i'm not playing Hunt/Nelson because I have no idea what's going to happen

Lol yeah, being an mma fan must suck outside of Canada/U.S.

You could be dead on with Tate. I did a terrible job capping the fight, but I ended with Nanaki around +163ish so had to fire.

UFC just suspended Johnson indefinitely

Anyone know why?

We are aware of the situation involving Anthony Johnson. As a result, we are suspending him indefinitely. We are using a third-party law firm to conduct a formal investigation and once we have more information, we’ll determine whether further course of action is necessary.

The rumor is domestic violence.

That sucks, Davis does kinda strike me as having a bit of a douchy personality, but very sad to see a contender succumb to being an idiot if the rumours are true.

Honestly if he's been abusing his ex then cut him regardless of his contender status, the UFC needs to have a zero tolerance approach in the event that allegations of domestic violence are found to be valid against any of their fighters.

Innocent until proven guilty, but if he is proven guilty he needs to be fired regardless of his status as a contender. In the meantime I guess he sits on the sidelines and if the allegations are unfounded then the UFC pays him for his time sitting out.

Thiago Silva had no place being re-signed in the first place, dude is legitimately crazy, he is a multiple time drug cheat and the only reason the charges were dropped is the woman in question went back to her home country. He definitely belongs in jail.

So, Thiago Silva was released as well.

Seems SIlva is holding some cocaine and has a concealed gun in his pocket.

Def. bad news for Rumble Johnson... shame as I was really looking forward to him vs. Gus. Thiago Silva probably was only re-signed due to his training partners all begging Dana to reinstate him. He looked really out of shape in his last fight and always struck me a a dic with his throat slash thing he did.

When Barnett does it, it looks like pro wrestling but Silva looks so mean while doing it and I always rooted for him to lose.

UFC on Fox 3 card looking good, better than a lot of PPVs even

JDS vs Stipe
Overeem vs Struve
Mitrione vs Gonzaga

and some not bad looking prelims as well with Ellenberger, Varner, Brunson and Herman on the card with plenty of fights still be to booked

Three of my fav HWs in JDS, Struve and Gonzaga fighting, all three fights have the potential to be great and end in spectacular fashion

You rarely get to see 3 heavyweight fights, especially when all of the fighters are that high ranked.

Pinnacle has regraded my Iaquinta/Damm under to a win by the way, so i've been paid for the bet. <3 Pinnacle. Always nice to get an unexpected 1.3u back.

Crazy chin, not sure I've ever seen a fighter take that many full blast punches without showing any sign of being dazed.

Still decision was correct

Took Kang here, I think it's a decent value spot as a dog.
Tanaka has so much hype but I think Kang has fought better competition.
