lol, well at least my under hits so i only lose 0.6u for the fight
Maldonado is still a terrible fighter and i'll put 10u on whoever his opponent is if it's anyone from the list of 17 guys I mentioned a few posts ago. I might even make it 20u if the fighter is someone who can wrestle and has a gas tank
One time give him someone like Ryan Bader or Robert Drysdale lol I think Maldonado is literally +1000 vs Bader and would be something like +2500 vs Cormier
Up something like 6.5u now for the card
Completely ridiculous that Stringer gave the fight away
Elliot can you tell Robert Drysdale next time you see him that he needs to call Maldonado out so I can make some money plz?
tbh I like Maldanado as he is so genetically deficient and always has to come back. Happy for him as a person. Stringer has a history of gassing so that plays right up Maldanado's alley. Very cool of AS to congratulate him.
How do these idiots like Villante and this ******ed Struve manage to gas so ****ing bad after just laying on top for 1 round. It's ****ing pathetic. Maldonado just lays there.
The best way to describe stringer is a 'not tall not rangy struve with a worse gas tank and worse bjj' and yet he still almost won
Honestly that fight was pretty pathetic, Maldonado was a fat slow punching bag until Stringer gassed and gave up
This next fight is win/win - I don't like Davis and want to see him get knocked out and will still be up 5u or w/e if Glover does it, but if he wins I win a couple units and i'm up 8u+
I think money wins, let's go Davis - but if you're going to lose I hope it's by spectacular knockout
Good start. Davis needs to stick to the gameplan. Glover was in a bit of trouble there
It's going to come down to cardio a lot if Davis can tire Glover out he's going to win - if he runs out of gas himself and can't shoot then Glover will take over
Wow, Davis is actually going to win. Awesome. I figured he could do it often enough at the odds, but didn't think it would be over half the time. It's actually looking like he's a decent favourite
20-18 Davis. Glover was in trouble again if there was a minute left
He's looking better than he has though. If he can ever put his hands together he'll be a threat to the title. He needs some Edmund Tarveryan or Bang Ludwig in his life.
So Davis now has wins over Gustafsson, Teixeira and Machida (although that was a close fight he lost). Impressive though. Nice wins. Makes Rumble's win even more impressive
I wonder how Evans/Davis 2 would go? Was on Evans there but not sure who i'd pick now.
30-27 Davis, great performance. He's earned a shot at the loser of Jones/Cormier imo - no other fights make sense really, Gus/Evans winner has a title shot vs the winner of that fight, he just lost to Anthony Johnson, he's still a bit above Bader, already fought Evans long ago (he could fight Evans again if he loses to Gus I guess)
Interesting he calls out Anderson. Not going to happen, Anderson doesn't have enough fights left in his career to waste one on Davis. After Diaz it's either GSP or some other superfight that would sell like Bisping if he beats Rockhold or a LHW fight with Shogun if he beats Manuwa or something. I guess if Vitor somehow won the title from Weidman he could fight for the MW title again. I think GSP, Bisping, Shogun or Vitor would make the most sense after Diaz if he wins (if he loses to Diaz I think retirement is the best bet)
Phil... shut your mouth... You have the most awful promo/interviews ever.
He sounds like a black guy trying to be a white guy who's trying to be a black guy.
As per the fight... excellent gameplan and he def. deserves another big fight. Rashad Evans seems to be the one who makes the most sense since he now trains with Gustufson.
Yeah the only fights that make any sense are Bader, Evans 2 if he loses to Gus, or the loser of Jones/Cormier
I suppose he's also big enough to go to HW if he wanted to, he could easily bulk to 235 and still be in shape as he has a big frame and he'd have a pile of good fights in a thin division. Honestly the next time he loses a fight if he does it puts him out of title contention probably for good at LHW... tempting to go to HW, right? I think he'd be top 10 at HW just due to athleticism. Makes sense to try and get a title shot at LHW first though I guess
since im on a hot streak today i'll add another 0.4u on Mendes last minute. Got 1 and a bit on him now.
Between me and the bets Sect7g have placed through me we're up 12.8u between us now for the card going into the last fight. I think I must be up 8 and a bit at least now, maybe 9. Will work it out after the card.
Let's go Mendes!
We might be about to play hot potato with the FW Belt here (I could see it going Aldo to Mendes to Conor to Edgar or something equally crazy in the next few) - or I guess any of them could become a dominant champ if they dethrone Aldo
If Stringer didn't gas we'd have Mendes +9000 here to close a parlay
