I think this is close.

Live In-Play in round 5: Holly Holm (+268) vs Germaine de Randamie ~$122.16 for ~$327.39

We could be headed to a split decision here assuming Holm wins r5 which seems likely

Hope she gets it, if i'm a judge i'm probably scoring 5050 rounds for Holm given the ref didnt take a point for the two after the bell shots and they clearly did damage illegally.

Also I should have bet the o4.5 like I wanted to but decided against evidently.

3 rds to 2 for the dutch girl.

if making sounds and throwing and not landing win you a fight then holly won, pushing up against the cage does not win you the fight.

the dutch girl leaps and bounds the better fighter.

Ediit: She caught her a million times clear with power.

look at the fight status ffs.

Maybe that's what Randomie meant when she said, at ufc 208 when I fight, you will not forget me, that's for sure. She said something like that, you will remember me.

Right!!! We see!!!

Guess it comes down to did Holm win rounds 3/4, she definitely came forward and threw more

I hope she gets the decision, GDR is dirty and deserves to lose for the two after the bell shots. If GDR wins a 48-47, she isn't the champion in my eyes. Hopefully Holm gets the nod.

Do you mean 1-2-4 or 1-2-3 out of curiosity? I wasn't watching super closely enough to score it and 3/4 seemed close.

Given it was a UD I guess it should be obvious I just wasn't watching closely enough

Booooooooooo GDR is not the champion, should have been two point deductions for late shots after the bell, 47-46 Holm.

Granted Nunes or Cyborg is going to beat the **** out of GDR now and i'm going to enjoy it a lot.

Utter bull**** she's saying she's not like that and got caught in the moment you did it twice in two rounds bitch

my god cyborg has one huge HGH/TRT head and jaw.

shes barely a woman but still i wanna see her fight lol

Rogan mentions Cyborg, GDR is all 'i'll fight anyone but i'm injured and need surgery'

Our dirty new champ can't hide from Cyborg forever though (granted Cyborg is also a dirty roid cheat but i'll overlook that to enjoy watching her crush GDR when they fight)

UFC needs to sign Megan Anderson already and get her a fight at 145 since after Cyborg she's gotta be next in line right it's not like 145 is deep

+8.4u for the card, pretty solid card. Hopefully 209 is just as good, definitely going big on Khabib and Wonderboy.

Haven't taken a look at the Lewis vs Browne card in detail yet I guess I will soon.

LOL at the audible "FU!" from a disgruntled ticketholder during the post-fight interview.

Holm will be given the benefit of a doubt and at least another fight despite a three fight losing streak now as it would have been a draw with the point deduction unless she wants that boxing match against Katie Taylor.

Cyborg should beat GdR handily.

Swoop has the passion. This card looked bad and was bad.

Even Miesha on the post-fight show says right off the bat that she thought Holly won three rounds. One point deduction would have been a unanimous draw and I would have cleaned up.

GDR won Round 3 on all judges score cards after Holm dropped her with a head kick to finish the round, crazy.

What a **** show of an event. Brunson decision was horrific, main event was trash, a night to forget.

oh rly?

I don't believe those stats for one second. The FS1 post-fight show graphic said Holm significant strikes 77, GDR 80 for what that is worth.

Also, not that helpful really. Waiting for Compubox, Fightmetric or whatever fight statistics company that does these things to put up the round-by-round statistics. Pretty moot.

Scored it 3-2 de Randamie (1, 2 & 4) but wouldn't have disagreed vehemently with a 3-2 Holm win.

You can just go to fightmetric website. It has De Randaime 144-122 in total strikes

And Brunson 118-54 against Silva. Confirms my suspicion that people that had Anderson winning are out of their minds.

Oh yeah...here are those fight statistics from Fightmetric:

The GDR decision I can understand. Anderson, that was a straight up robbery.

I guess at the end of the day 208 was always a throwaway card and I made money which offsets how bad the card was entertainment wise

209 is the first properly stacked card of the year

Wonderboy vs Woodley 2 should be awesome considering the first fight was a draw and entertaining, I think Wonderboy can make the adjustments and win the title this time but anything could happen

Khabib vs Ferguson for the interim (basically first crack at Conor whenever he wants to defend his LW belt) should also be great, Khabib could lay on him but he's active from the top and works for subs, and every Tony Ferguson fight is entertaining, and it sets up a great return fight for Conor regardless of who wins

Reem vs Hunt, who doesn't want to see that, hopefully Hunt can find his chin, obviously Reem has better all around striking but he has a far weaker chin and Hunt can put him out with one shot easily, again anything can happen.

Vannata vs Teymur, not as huge a name fight but Vannatta's two fights in the UFC so far have been fantastic, highlight reel KO and he had Ferguson in more trouble than anyone's had him in during his win streak on debut, hopefully he can get another highlight reel finish, he could legitimately be a top 5 LW right now he just needs to be able to prove it and Teymur is 2-0 in the UFC, I think this is a showcase for Vannata hoping they have a superstar on their hands but if Teymur gets the upset they get another Swedish draw in a 3-0 prospect so it's win/win for them.

Rashad vs Dan Kelly, yeah, Rashad's best days are behind him but he's still an ex champ and the old Aussie who keeps winning fights as a 4-1 underdog gets another crack at it this time against a name opponent, this is supposed to be an easy win for Rashad but who knows

Elkins vs Bektic in a battle of the best gameplanner/fight IQ gatekeeper in MMA against the guy who seems to have been a prospect forever and keeps getting injured, if Bektic wins this one he's pretty much in the top 10 and if Elkins does he gets one last crack at a contender. Betting wise i've never faded either guy i'm pretty sure or at least I haven't for the past few years.

Then we have Todd Duffee's return as well, and a bunch of other fights that don't matter

210 looks a bit weaker but still has 4 legit fights and the card isnt complete yet, Cormier/Rumble 2, Weidman/Mousasi, Blachowicz/Cummins and Brooks/Oliveira, although the last two aren't that relevant contendership wise anymore.

211 is shaping up nicely, Miocic vs JDS 2 should be a great standup war, Werdum vs Rothwell to get Werdum a rebound win or Rothwell another upset, the UFC wants Nate Diaz vs Alvarez but that prob won't happen

212 has Holloway vs Aldo

211 or 212 could also get Joanna vs Andrade, Nunes vs Shevchenko 2 and Mighty Mouse vs whoever's next in line (Benavidez 3 or Reis maybe?) and Bisping vs Romero so they should both have two title fights i'd assume and the others go to 213 as the co-main and the Fox card. Plus after 209, the winner at WW might be ready to fight Maia by the 213 July card so that's another potential co-main or they could even do a huge 3 title fight card again in Vegas.

213 is the Vegas in July card so it should be a logical place for Conor vs Ferguson/Khabib winner to happen if Conor will stop the ridiculousness of wanting to fight Floyd in boxing and it should have at least one if not two other title fights from the above potential ones as well.

We also have the TUF season/finale and title fight of Cody vs TJ to look forward to whenever that is.

Then Jones vs the DC/Rumble winner when Jones finishes his suspension

Pretty good few months of MMA coming up if everyone can stay injury free.

Dana White being 'honest' in ths post-event interview with Megan Olivi that UFC 208 wasn't a good event, said it wasn't a good bunch of fights forgetting Dustin Poirier vs. Jim Miller but then quickly correcting himself and thought Derek Brunson beat Anderson Silva.

Only three bonuses given out!? Poirier/Miller FOTN, Jacare POTN.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_208

Which two rounds were clear for Brunson, 1 and 3? Or is my opinion of round 2 (which some media scored 10-10 for some reason and others gave to Brunson) way off? I thought r2 was close but clear Anderson, r1 was close (Anderson won more of the round, but Brunson landed the best flurry of the round from the clinch) and r3 was close but clear Brunson

I kinda get it with the 3 bonuses, there was no other standout performer in an exciting fight and only the one finish, so the one good fight gets FOTN and the one good performance gets POTN and then what? I guess you could give it to GDR for winning the title, but I mean she punched her opponent after the bell twice and the decision was close, then Anderson won, but via questionable decision in a fight that wasn't amazing, then Jacare, Miller and Poirier all already got a bonus and it's not like Poirier's win was so fantastic he needs a second bonus for POTN

If they make it up by giving 5 bonuses on a card where there are a ton of good performances i'd be fine with it

Other than miller/poirier that was a pretty rotten card.
Thankful for the Silva decision, put me up 3.45units but I was not even slightly hopeful he'd won it at the end...

Also... Nover losing? Are you kidding, I had him winning 30-27.

Sheesh. Only thing that prevented complete disaster for me there was Silva by robbery. Also I scored that for Holm, but I'm terrible at scoring live.
