Perfect card so far;

Adesanya, Kim, Pedro, tua, Matthews, and blaydes.

Took Romero smallish at +163 to cap it off

Scary moments in the first though


Seems like the judges scored 1 for blaydes, even tho he won the first two minutes, and had dominant grappling positions, think you gotta give it to hunt for the damage

Perfect card for me so far in that i've won overall on 5/5 fights ive bet so far only missing a couple props. My leans I didn't bet in Kim and Formiga won too.

If Rockhold wins too it'll be pretty close to a perfect card

If Blaydes faces someone in the top 5 he might be in some trouble in his next fight, his offensive wrestling is fantastic but he doesnt have much else, I can't imagine him beating someone like Cain Velasquez. He might beat Reem or JDS but I can't see him beating Cain/Werdum/Ngannou/Stipe very often. I guess he could beat Ngannou if he can take him down enough and gas him out.

I put a tiny hedge to only lose half my risk if Romero wins via R3 tko, because he kind of has a habit of doing that but really comfortably with my Rockhold bet if Romero isn't at 100%. If he is then I think my bets about breakeven, we'll see I guess.

He already lost to ngannou pretty one sided.

Doctors stoppage after 2nd round, so you knew his chin was legit but he improving quite a bit between fights

He beats Cain 1/100 times imo. Nightmare matchup

Pretty comfortable with how Rockhold's fighting, he won the first, second's close with Romero's flurries connecting but Rockhold controlling most of the round. R1 Rockhold, r2 close

Congrats to all the o1.5 backers

I'm mildly annoyed I didn't bet Rockhold dec at +400 which I thought was great, but happy to be on Rockhold straight up still on what we've seen so far.

I'm convinced a healthy Whittaker beats either guy fighting tonight.

Rockhold gets hit way too much vs supbar strikers

That Bisping KO looks less and less fluky as time goes on. Whittaker likely tags him.

LOL wow, and I only hedged to lose half specifically on r3 KO, I should have gone all out on that +1600 r3

It is truly absurd the amount of r3 finishes that Romero has by knockout

yeah I thought the same as he started backing away in a panicked straight line.

Bisping was actually no fluke. Damnit.

Such a ridiculous way for this to finish

Looking forward to Bobby Knuckles dominating this cheater with two legs next time

Absurd that I added a small hedge at +1600 but it was small enough to still lose for the fight, still had a very strong card though won about 3 max bets

Romero looks hurt too

I think i'm hedging every Romero fade in the future with Romero wins by r3 TKO

Now the UFC has the cluster**** of Romero missed weight and won to deal with and Whittaker's already beaten him. Dana won't be happy.

I must say, I hate Romero but seeing Rockhold get knocked out never gets old

I'd love to see Weidman get a rematch against Rockhold, I think he can beat him with a sensible gameplan

yeah Rockhold/Whittaker was the fight to make, although I doubt it was gonna sell much anyway.

Not sure where Rockhold goes from him here, maybe him vs Weidman again

Luke's only fault is his bad chin and considering the flurries he also has poor defense as he backs straight up.

Romero can beat Whittaker and if his coaches had any semblance of intelligence he would have won the 1st matchup. He didn't use enough wrestling and his coaches should have told him to attack Whittaker's leg... I have no idea why Romero abandoned that.

I love Cuba and Romero deserves the next crack and dammit I'm 40 this year and I need to have a champ my age.

I typed that post after R2 fwiw

Thought he still might get the W as Romero is known to slow down but not too surprising he got KO'd.

he doesnt have power in his hands. he has good kicks, good cardio, amazing jitz, but meh boxing, meh chin, meh wrestling

his top game is close to jacare but he has trouble getting the fight there.

So who fights Whittaker next now? Guess it isn't that big of a deal he is out, no one deserves a title shot.

romero

the whole interim belt is just marketing for the weak ppv.

I don't think you can give a guy a title shot after he missed weight.

That's making a mockery of the entire process. I know someone is gonna say "lol it's the UFC" but I doubt it goes down like that. Especially for a fight that is gonna get like 200k ppv buys.

Main card delivered nicely, considering it was weak on paper it was very entertaining after some mostly skippable prelims

It's a weird spot at the top since Romero missed weight it's hard for him to be #1 contender without fighting again, I guess Jacare makes the most sense. Romero should definitely have to make weight and fight again to fight for the belt, you can't get a title shot off missing weight. Obviously whoever he fights is a #1 contender fight. Jacare, maybe Borrachinha if he wins and looks good and Whittaker's out until later this year?

Set up Rockhold vs Weidman 2, winner is automatically in contention for a shot and the backstory is there

Branch/Santos and Hall/Borrachinha winners should be in the mix too, especially if they're Santos and Borrachinha

Gastelum is up there too I guess put him in there with Brunson to get one of them back on track. Then the winners of those 4 fights square off in some capacity or you could put Jacare in for Borrachinha if he wins and they decide to skip over Jacare and give him the shot at Romero instead since Whittaker did beat Jacare very decisively and fresh matchups would be good. Borrachinha and Santos are their two most marketable up and comers, either could be the future of Brazil at 185 if they keep winning since Anderson/Jacare/Machida are all old.

Machida vs Bisping to headline a fight night in Brazil/UK

MW is so stacked over the next few months if everyone stays healthy and Whittaker can get back in action this year

That makes dollars so it makes sense though.

Speaking of that fight, what would the line be? Feels like Woodley at -250 or less is a snap bet. He should absolutely run through Nate. Nate sucked at WW.

+3.2u for the card
Hunt almost did it man, props to Blaydes and nice come back in R1, Sucks that i was not able to put some bets in B365 the Tuivasa Win R1 prop was good value, B365 is always off on those round props

Any thoughts con Cerrone/Medeiros
I like Yancy @ +145, but i think i can get even a better price since cowboy is a way bigger name
