Well it took a few slightly scary minutes then the takedown and smesh commenced

I actually think Ferguson will be even easier for Khabib because Tony's only chance is a sub from the bottom or a one punch knockout at the start of the fight his TDD is much worse and he'll get taken down on the first shot.

Conor has the best shot to one-punch KO Khabib in the first minute but thats the only way hes going to lose enroute to the belt

Khabib is like a bear because he grew up wrestling bears. The Eagle is hungry and Barboza is there to be eaten. I def should have got some Khabib ITD even if Barboza survives it was the right side. Khabib straight up super safe tho

Khabib, 8-0 in the UFC, my record betting on him, 7-0. Not bad.

Pretty crazy Barboza survived the mauling but he's tough. Smart to go for broke with the spinning kicks in r3. Glad I took Khabib straight up instead of ITD I guess but I think ITD was +EV too probably he should finish him half the time or so when they fight.

Hurry up and come to terms for Tony vs Conor already for the July Vegas card so we can get Conor vs Khabib in either Ireland or Russia in late 2018

30-25 30-25 30-24. Against Edson Barboza. That said enough.

I need Cyborg now. Although when the cage closes I might find myself rooting for Holly anyway. Khabib is everything he has been advertised as. What a monster.

u1.5 price is too good. Fired it for about a half bet, +275. Yeah, it usually goes over. But it's a Cyborg fight; Holm is live to land a head kick and Cyborg could easily GnP or submit her in that time or even KO her standing. +275 is absurd.

Not even close to a sweat on the under. Pity, but +275 oh well you lose those a lot.

I find myself cheering for Cyborg even though I don't like her because the thought of Holm headlining multiple PPVs this year and being declared the greatest ever female fighter is unbearable

Could still break even for the fight if Cyborg submits her but seems unlikely, still a winning card won about one full bet and change even if not

Don't know what fight Rogan and co. are watching but Cyborg is hurting Holly and winning so far.

Its a matter of exceeding expectations etc

Fight is close so far though, Holly is the right side at pre fight price but its 29-28 or 30-27 Cyborg depending how we saw r2

Holm is lucky r3 ended when it did she was going to get finished there a lot

Never seen Cyborg so composed. Pity Holly isn't more gritty, and in your face, she/they should of known that if they pushed Cyborg early on they might of fought a fatigued Cyborg.

Holly looks outclassed, Cyborg's boxing is better than Holly's, which is a little surprising given Holly's background.

I have no desire to ever watch Holly Holm main event again, hopefully this is the last time.

Cyborg fought a smart fight knowing it's a step up in competition and cardio issues etc. well done to her but the fight was pretty boring. All Holm fights are boring unless her opponent does something interesting (Rousey charging in blindly, Tate epic comeback)

We have the rare card with zero KO/TKOs and only two finishes.

Decent card for betting for me winning a bet and change but below average from an entertainment perspective, hopefully 220 is better, it should be.

Stephens vs Choi card should be good in 2 weeks for a minor one.

Two 48-47s is interesting. I mean, it was a competitive round and watching at first I had Holm winning r2 but I struggle to see how she won any other rounds. All 3 sherdog cards had it 50-45.

I think I would have scored it 49-46 but wasn't watching super closely as it was fairly boring

Interesting that Cyborg said she wants to fight Megan Anderson in Australia. Only 6 weeks out, but that would definitely add some depth to the 221 card making it a double title fight if Anderson's past whatever her personal issues that caused her to pull out of the last fight was. Makes sense as it's way too weak to headline a PPV and sell but could co-main to Whittaker/Rockhold for sure.

I actually haven't totalled up my year yet for MMA bets only but im pretty sure I had a winning year after an awful first few months, I had something like 75% winning cards for the second half of the year so pretty happy with how things have been going recently

Good luck in 2018 everyone

Oh wait we have a Rizin card now about to start. Outside of Cro Cop fighting a can and Gomi being terrible which are both unbettable any spots we like? I have no idea who most of the other fighters are

Two 48-47's, really? Screwed up my Cyborg -5½ point spreads. I still won a lot on the starts round 2 and over 1½ but that is still very disappointing and costly. Looks like $382 net for UFC 219. Almost feels like a loss after those scorecards in the main event.

Two of those insane judges gave the first two to Holm. Nevermind that she was outstruck almost x2, and everything Cyborg landed seemed to wobble her whereas she landed pitter patter shots.. but I guess pushing your opponent against the fence for a few seconds to catch your breath wins fights now. Couture would be proud. Holm would have won if this was a 3rounder according to those mouth breathers.

Can you imagine if Cyborg's corner would have told her to just coast the 5th, or she would have taken the round off since she had it in the bag? It would have cost her the fight and been one of the most insane decisions of all time. They basically said this and the Randamie fight were equally close.

I did have Holm winning r2 live granted in a coinflip round but the other 4 were all clear Cyborg and its certainly closer to a 50-45 than a 48-47. Very unlucky on the -5.5 points.

Can we please never have Holly Holm main event again now that she's 1-4 and all of her fights are terrible unless Rousey or Tate do stuff to make it interesting
