You're welcome man. Actually hit two +700s though they were very small bets of course, that might never happen again in my life. Grant, JDS, and Glover saved the day for me. Still stewing about that horrible ****ing decision against Holloway though. Few things in this world as tilting as correctly picking out value on a big underdog only to have the judges bend you over and **** you.
@kingofcool Granted it was a few years ago but Werdum comfortably outboxed Bigfoot to a decision, I would have to say you are definitely wrong about BF having the superior striking between the two. Werdum also has a way better chin IMO, though the power edge does seem to go to Bigfoot. Werdum's guard is also the best there is amongst heavies, Nelson wanted absolutely nothing to do with it after getting a takedown on him. Definitely an interesting matchup for Cain, and something I would like to see before they give JDS another shot. Basically, agreed with everything Donkabomber said on the matchup.
That said, how can anyone not love JDS? Guy seems to have a heart of gold, great personality, exciting fighting style, finishes almost everyone he beats. Definitely one of the easiest guys to root for I've seen in any sport. Also, Glover's little fanboy moment was pretty cool as well.
Agree with stressed on the monies thing, JDS is sponsored by Nike FFS.
Nurmagomedov fight went basically as expected, I'm still gonna be looking to fade this guy against anyone who can keep it standing as his striking still looks as bad as ever both offensively and defensively. He is definitely a talented grappler, though Trujillo is so bad it's hard to tell how good exactly. Anybody who can make this guy box for 3 rounds is probably going to have a field day.
All in all, one of the most fun cards in awhile even if I did get robbed blind on a big dog for the 2nd straight card. Every main card winner was really impressive and there were some beautiful finishes.
