[Marky147]

Best thing about 164 was Henderson losing, although irritatingly, he still got a chance to remind everything that he can do all things through Jesus.
I wonder, would Jesus touch gloves before a fight?

I was hoping that Henderson would win, but only because it would have meant the blame didn't lie solely with Mir for costing me the best part of £200!

Finally got caught up with the UFN from last week.
Hate to say it, but I think Texiera is massively over hyped.
Don't get me wrong, tough guy, and exciting to watch, but Jones won't break a sweat with him.
Bader had him in all sorts of trouble.

I think Gustaffson will give Jones a fight, but if the champ sees him off, and dispatches Texiera as easily as I think he will, the division is looking pretty cleaned out.

Pretty depressing as a confirmed Jones hater

Just seen the next TUF coach line up.
Frankie Edgar v BJ Penn at 145

BJ at 145??
he could barely get down to 155.

Still, BJ's a legend, so good luck to him, although I think even at the new weight, Frankie has his number.

Sorry to read that Marky147 but Barnet's a Beast, and if he can stay fit and off the Sted's he might get a decent run at the Title.

UFC 165

Lay of the year is Gustafsson, can't see him troubling Jones at all. (As long as the compound fracture is all ok)
A small saver on Eddie Wineland is a must at 4/1, is great value but has a tough match.

Technically he only cost me £20, so it's no biggie.

Barnett definitely looked impressive for sure, the bet was a bit of wishful thinking anyway

I've gone the other way.
While I think a jones win is the most likely outcome, I couldn't resist a bet on 5/1 Gustaffson.
I think the skill gap between them is a fraction of that between Weidman and Silva, so anything is possible.

WARR GUSTAFFSON

[deejaypee]

Will be an interesting match, as Jones has never fought anyone with gustafsson's reach, but I think Jones will be able to take him down at will and keep him there.

[Marky147]

Hope you're right Adam, I'd love to see Jones get ironed out!

Only bet I've done so far is Mitrione by KO @ 7/5 with laddies, gonna have a look for a punty acca once I've had some dinner.

[AdamM]

I had that 48/47 as I gave Gustaffson 1 & 3
Good effort. Next time.

Could either of us gotten it more wrong?

I actually gave him the first 3, but it was so close you couldn't expect Jones to lose the belt.

I jumped on with you to get out of it for the day, and we definitely had a big old slice of value pie!

[AdamM]

I think there was a good shout for round 2 to be a draw, but they're so rarely scored that way, so for the two head kicks and the elbow, Jones narrowly.

I can't see how one judge gave it 49/46. Presumably the third, but looked clear enough Gustaffson to me.
Didn't change the result though, so no point moaning.

 

[deejaypee]

Not seen the fight yet, but have been told it's close, will comment on it tomorrow.
