Funny how quiet Dana's Twitter is.

All the other fighters going nuts, and Aldo calling him a pussy

[Marky147]

They're saying it would have been GSP next if he'd won.

Glad he lost if it means GSP stays in his gym.

[AdamM]

Yeah, he got a bit carried away after smoking him for most of the fight.

Going for a showreel KO, instead of just sticking to what was working.

Can see why Diaz struggles with stringing words together now, but he's like a piece of iron!


Double paid about 19/1

Well played Marky
I had 2x three fight bets and got 2/3 in in both.

I haven't got caught up with all the interviews and post fight pressers yet, but did I see back down to 145 to defend next? Hope Frankie gets it, rather than another Aldo fight.

Pleased for Miesha. Would like her to get Nunes first, rather than Ronda.

[Marky147]

Cheers, it made up for him losing.

Superb fights, and I agree with your thoughts on Ronda.

Dana said that she didn't even watch the fight, but said 'back to work' when he told her Miesha had won.

I'd prefer he made her fight Holly again, and the winner got Miesha.

How did you guys score Lawlor v Anderson?
Maybe I was biased because a bet was hanging on it, but I gave him 1 & 2, with Anderson getting the last.
If Anderson had got it 29-28, fair enough, because 2nd round was close, but i thought 1st was definitely Lawlor's.

I went to make a drink when that was on, so missed most of it.

Anderson said himself that he thought he may have lost when he heard one of the cards was 30-27.

[AdamM]

Don't get me wrong, we've had much worse shockers than that, but cost me £70

[GreekStein]

I wish Dana did the press conferences like he used to.

I've no problem with Dave Sholler but Dana just way better.

[AdamM]

I think he does the ones he can, but it's a scheduling thing.
Not many people put the hours into their job that Dana does.

UFC 7.5 Ultimate Ultimate
First time with judges, and they got two right, one wrong IMO

[Nakor]

Adam - Like the flashback site, please keep churning them out.

How long in advance are the cards for the UFC major events released?
When will the 200 card be known?

[AdamM]

Cheers

200 definitely in short list phase now.
