Good fight IQ by Dariush, covering up then using his superior wrestling

As boring as it is I think he should spam takedowns and ride out topcontrol to a decision from here

expecting 30-27 30-27 29-28 Dariush or thereabouts

Good gameplan, good to see him do well. He's a smart fighter. Up 5 and a bit units now I think, will check later. Card going pretty well. Great spot at +2xx I forget who told me to look at their earlier fights to see that Dariush matched up well but thanks to whoever it was.

Kinda worried Martins might knock Elkins out - I usually fade Elkins and he burns me but stylistically he should win this

I got Elkins at -171 and he's -203 though so evidently people like my side

Let's get it done Elkins. He's a really smart fighter who does a lot with a limited physical skillset

I like that Elkins is shooting a lot. As long as he shoots constantly he'll land takedowns enough to win

Seeing the same here from Elkins.

10-9 Elkins.

Less physically gifted but smart fighter. I like betting on smart fighters.

Very good gameplan and execution by Daruish.

I don't think Davis will be able to take Glover down. He might be able to sneak one in. Glover will easily beat him up standing. Davis afraid of getting lit up by heavy handed strikers too. I just think Glover is a rly bad match up for him.

I'm not disputing that Glover is the fav but I think Davis wins often enough at +260 or whatever price I got

Close round, Martins landed the big shot but Elkins dominated the rest of the round

I think overall it's 20-18 Elkins but could be 19-19

Excellent recovery by Elkins... very smart fighter. This fight reminds me of Couture vs Tim Silvia... mixing in the takedown attempts and striking.

20-18

lol brazilian crowd is mad

martins is one dimensional and cant do anything

elkins should just keep putting him there after ref breaks

i'm enjoying this grind even though the fight isnt that exciting he's just shutting martins down intelligently

martins has landed the bigger shots but elkins massively outlanded him overall and had the octagon control so he wins

30-27 Elkins, r2/3 were close but both for Elkins imo

Assuming we hold I have my 0.1u to win 9u parlay that needs Stringer, Davis and Mendes to sweat

lol at Martins parading around like he won

I got it 30-27 and 29-28 at the worst. Octagon control.

LOL 30-27 Martins wtf I mean you can make a bad case for r2/3 but round 1? wtf?

At least only one judge went full ******. 29-28 I could understand if you disregard octagon control and go on damage but how the hell can anyone ever score r1 for Martins? And in r3 he landed 3 knees which were nice, but was controlled and outlanded for the rest of the round

4-0 on the card as I forgot about the Fili fight already. Pints are tasting good.

Up 8.7u in acct but I think sect7g's got a decent chunk of that so I think i'm up around 7u for the card now.

Stringer, Davis and Mendes left + one live parlay with the three of them to close it out

lol how is Maldonado ranked 15th? Epic fail whoever does rankings

Jones
Cormier
Gus
Johnson
Rashad
Hendo
Glover
Davis
Bader
Shogun
Lil'Nog
Manuwa
OSP
Feijao
Jimmo
Blachowicz
Drysdale

That's 17 guys better than him off the top of my head

Prob shoulda gone 3u here but didn't want to dilute the awesome price I got on 1u

Maybe we subtract Feijao who's sucked lately and Jimmo who isnt amazing. Pretty sure everyone else on the list is a decent fav over Maldonado. Would snap take every single one of them at -150

Not sure what's worse - Mendes trying to take Mayweather's nickname or Ortiz trying to take the Rock's - especially when Ortiz already had his own memorable nickname

10-9 Stringer, not quite a 10-8 due to not enough damage but thorough domination so far

Swoop you're a genius tonight

10-9 easy.

But Maldanado has a history of starting slow and coming back with his body shots on the feet. Need to keep the TD;s coming.

edit: ughhh I sort of saw this coming....with 1:30 left.

Stringer had better not gas and lose

edit: nvm, too easy, Maldonado just sucks

He may gas in r3 but as long as he doesn't get KO'd he has the fight in the bag and all it should take is one explosive td at the start of the round
