Adding 0.5u on the Rousey fight under 1.5r -145.

Only stuck 1u now so I get a winning card if Silva wins, since if Tate wins I win that bet and if Rousey wins I get my 2u sidebet

Yeah, I shouldn't have bet the over.

But whatever, I had a dream Tate wins in round 4, so let's be illogical and see that happen, i'd be willing to lose a bet to see either title change hands today

Browne vs Werdum, who takes it and how? I feel like Werdum can probably grind him out if he avoids the big strike early, but I hope Cain gets back sooner than expected and both guys get to fight him

Browne vs JDS would also be cool, although JDS will probably just TKO him with better technical striking

Don't want to see Werdum JDS Browne just yet. Feel like we have to nourish the fact that we now have a contender in Browne and Werdum when Cain is the champion. Behind those two, we only have Reem left and then JDS if he wins 3-4 fights (which he should, if he is not spent due to the 2 beatings he got from Cain, 10 rounds of getting demolished has taken a lot of fight out of him).
However, if Werdum somehow wins, it would open up the division a lot more. Give Browne Hunt (would be better with Big foot to avenge the loss, but he's suspended for 9 months I think) and then he gets the next shot after Cain Werdum (unless we have a strange cain win).

Rooting for Ronda. MMA need fighters like her who isn't vanilla. Looking at Tate's frame, I don't see how she can stop the takedowns.

Tate has heart and fighting spirit, she just can't match Ronda's Judo and submission grappling. Amazing couple of escapes. Big fan of both of them, hope Tate one day works her way to a third fight but I doubt it

On the plus side my over hit

If Rousey wants to be the biggest superstar ever she needs to go full heel and tell the crowd to go **** themselves

Whew Rousey made me sweat it a bit, thought we might see a TKO finish for a minute there in I think Rd 1.

NEARLY pulled the trigger on Fight Starts Round 2 at +100 sigh

Rousey has such sick judo. I wish there were more judo centric male fighters. DHK really used his but has gone away from it as of late.

Embrace your inner heel Rousey 'i'm going to armbar your favourite fighter and there's nothing you can damn well do about it'

Here comes the Julianna Pena biggest fan ever favourite 'Team Tate's revenge' hype train if she can string some wins together

If she can get 2-3 wins, Pena vs Rousey will sell infinite tickets as the avenging her coach/mentor/best friend storyline

Guess Ronda is going to dominate the division for some more time should she choose to stay and not do acting (which I doubt she'll pull of anyway, except for appearing in some small parts in action movies). Saw she has the cardio to back up her high pace, reminds me of Cain. Also why was Tate engaging the clinch sometimes, baffles me when she knows what Ronda can do. How ronda uses the momentum and does her throws is just amazing.

Not much compares to those Judo trows, cardio held up for ronda. I am satisfied the only person who can beat her is Cyborg at this point.

Rousey has phenomenal Judo. Tate's submission defense is top notch too she got out of a tight armbar and triangle before eventually getting subbed.

I'm disappointed Rousey didn't go full heel though, Holly Holm, Julianna Pena, Cat Zingano and Sara McMann should be interesting plus Alexis Davis maybe

McMann as an olympic wrestler will be interesting, buyrate wise Pena and Holm and of course Cyborg are the money fights though.

That pause was weird I feel like Silva may be retiring win or lose with that

He's either going to be the best Anderson we've seen or a box full of nerves. I have no idea.

Rondas cardio held up but she seemed to get really sloppy in the stand-up defense department. Tate went full Lui Kang bicycle kick on her ffs. Judo zombie ftw.
