Well you're 2/3 fav to win if your fighter's name gets read first, but I was expecting to lose this one 90% even after the fact (had Randa too).

That was tough to watch. Adding another 2u on Cruikshank and Stephens.

0.1u on Proctor just for the sweat, think the line seems about right

Nice kick from Medeiros. Was looking close up until then. Proctor's body just show down with that Kick

Hoping Cruickshank is as big of a favourite here as I think. Long road back to even but this would get me back to being down a smallish amount

Pretty much what I expected, 10-9 Cruickshank, closeish but clear round for him, striking was close and he landed two takedowns. I think his striking was slightly more effective too but it was close and Noons finished pretty well

Good start though

If this ends due to an eye injury ill be tilted.

That sucks. No contest hopefully since it was clearly an eye poke. Disappointing since he was clearly up a round.

They'd better rule it a NC rather than a TKO as it was clearly caused by the eye poke as shown in the replay

Will be Cruickshank again in the rematch if they set it up. Pretty frustrating since it was shaping up to be a good fight + my favourite bet of the card. Good refereeing both giving him time and taking the time to look at the replay rather than just calling it a TKO or whatever a bad ref would have done

Yeah obvious NC. Would be a DQ before a tko. 7unit bet was looking great until the eye poke. Tilting.

So close to sucking out on Noons, why can't idiot Yamasaki ref here instead? Altho it looked like a nice gesture by Noons, it seemed BJM gave him the green light to keep going and Noons backed off?

Adding a half unit on Oliveira, this fight seems close, before he missed weight I liked him at +100 narrowly, +158 would be amazing if he was healthy but still like it narrowly I think after missing weight

Rivera needs surgery? Haha, makes the whole thing even worst for him. Hopefully ufc gave him win bonus considering he won't be fighting for a while.

I hope Olivera wins. Money is on Stephens though. Olivera may be the one fighter I can root for despite having 7u on the other guy lol.

Fun round. I have it 10-9 Oliveira because he spent 2 minutes in a submission attempt and only ate about 3 elbows on the bottom. Worrying since he was on bottom for almost all of the round with some judges but I def give him the first

Think I go Olivera too. Not at all terrible to go other way.

Beautiful grappling by Oliveira, his fights are always fun

Great defense by Stephens to not get armbarred or choked so far but Oliveira is breaking him slowly and should be 20-18 now

Stephens might break him mentally if he keeps it up though but he's running out of time

Would love for this to be 5 rounds

wow, Stephens want NO part of his ground game. He might give the round away butt-scooting but shouldnt matter

edit: nope, takedowns for days. Evidently missing weight didn't hurt him. +158 looking phenomenal

Smart from Oliveira IF he knows he's up 2 rounds but incredibly risky as r1 was at least competitive-ish and judges can be ******ed

Get on top and lay on him lol. You need this round.

Don't know why he pulled guard there instead of just pushing him into the cage to go for a TD, he gave the round away that he was winning but still wins 29-28

Oliveira clearly wins here but I can't help but feel he'll get robbed a non zero percentage of the time due to shoddy judging. Still probably -1000 to get the decision though

Man was Olivera ******ed for not holding top position there in the 3rd. Can def see some ******ed judges give Stephens 1st and 3rd.

You could score 1 and 3 for Stephens but it would be stretching, i'd call it a robbery but not the worst robbery of all time or anything. I can see one judge giving it to Stephens maybe half the time but two judges is more like 1 in 10 or 1 in 15

Comes down to the first. Probably split decor Olivera. It's close though.

Yeah he was it was a super lock if he did, and by giving away r3 which he was dominating he opens himself up to being robbed if the judges are incompetent and 'loltopposition' r1

30-27s a bit iffy but he did crush the first few minutes of the round so whatever. I do think Stephens won r3, but at least it's the right result. I had it as a pretty clear 29-28 Oliveira

Still stuck a medium amount for the card, but a lot of that was Markos and the fight was close, and we also pushed a 3.5u bet that was clearly winning with the Oliveira eye poke.
