over 2.5 rounds means 2.5 rounds must pass, ie when the clock hits 2:29 in R3, over 2.5 wins

had a small bet on Njokuani, wish I had bet more, put that + winnings on Shaub, not feeling so great about it and wished i had done it on papa but whatever, will let this one ride too. Also have a small bet on Rashad

First half of parlay in. Knew Griggs was gonna get roflstomped, just in way over his head. I'm in third in Sherdog's pickems comin into this event though, and I had Browne by TKO, why couldn't he just get starched by the knee sigh...
Thompson came in pretty fresh, but after being taken to the ground, he basically got worn out and it took out a lot of energy from him. He did tag brown on a couple occasions, and he could have finished, but Brown covered up well and continued stalking Thompson, pushing him up against the cage, iniating the clinch, and at one point he dropped Thompson with a elbow. Then in 3rd round, he got him in a crucixif and then in a reverse triangle sort of choke.

I haven't watched lots of Browne's fight, but he's no takedown machine is he? So, if Thompson has trouble with someone of Browne's wrestling caliber, then he's not going far.

no, hes got a solid ground game but most of his TDs are clinch and trip type stuff, he doesnt have a real double elg or great single

lol cmon man. Still so early in his career, no way to say that yet. Just have to see how he develops. I never thought he would be a future title contender or anything but he should be a solid fighter at the very least...

Also, if anyone is interested, here's a simulation of Rashad vs Jones made some time ago.

Honestly, with the information at the time, I'm not that unhappy with the Thompson bet I had.

I don't even care that his TDD was so bad. Thompson's cardio is what killed him. If he had a respectable gas tank, he would have finished Brown in the second round or the third a very large majority of the time. Brown was hurt several times, but Thompson was too tired to take advantage.

I knew the TDD risk going in, but I never would have thought that a lifelong martial artist in a relatively low weight class would gas that hard after one round. c'est la vie.

He gassed because of the grappling, standup cardio and grappling cardio are completely different things.

View: that Bocek round should be a 10-8.

I know nobody would ever score it that way but I think it should be. When one fighter does nothing but get pummeled, gets his back taken, etc thats a 10-8 IMO.

I got Bocek in an ID prop

and a parlay w/ Browne as a hedge against both the ID props. Hopefully nothing funky happens

If they didn't give Shogun the last round 10-8 then that wasn't 10-8.

Well that was an egregious misjudging obv. And I even said no judge would give Bocek a 10-8 but I'm saying they SHOULD.

Bocek's corner is actually really good there imo
MMA Thread Quote

Had Bocek in 2nd, was close though.

29-28 Bocek IMO.
MMA Thread Quote

Bocek is a very skilled grappler and has solid takedowns but god is he boring and unrelevant.

lol boceks corner is GSP and Firas, not really ever gonna get bad advice.

I think its likely htere is a ton of value on Alessio in his next fight

Nah, I only linked it cause I think Jones looks a bit like Kareem. Though, Rashad is a bit similar to Lee in terms of hand speed and stance.

Wtf is Joe on about, hard to score, it's really easy, both r1 10-9 and 10-9 so far for yagin r2.

Second was a bit close honestly Hominick was really landing great punches at the end. But I still believe in knockdowns too much to give him the round. 20-18 Yagin.
