Went with Davey Grant at 9/5 tonight, think Holdsworth might be being slightly overrated. 4/1 for the decision too. Fancy Maynard on points too, he's won 3 of his last 7 by split decision and there's a draw in there too so think the 5/1 for a split in his favour could be a player.

Absolute comedy how some of the americans don't make weight, watching them around the house it was like they had copied their diet straight from my handbook

I'll multi up your picks for a sweat, and hopefully you can sweep me into the money, Scotty!

Anyone you like Mark? Pretty meh card really.

Think that Holdsworth is deffo decent, but tough to be really know what to make of Grant when he bowled on through uncontested.

Pena came across really well on the show, as well as performing well in her fights. I struggled to work out why they were all such assholes to her, and have been rooting for her from the off. That said, I think Rakoczy has been impressive in her fights, so much prefer the 9/4 about her.

Like yourself, not that inspiring a card, so I have stuck Rakoczy in a treble  with Grant and Maynard.

I'm not huge on anything, just think Grant should be 5/4. He's 15/8 now.

Yeh I like Pena too. Think they are all being really cuntish to her.

Yeh I like Pena too. Think they are all being really cuntish to her.

They were, especially when through the show she was always going out of her way to be nice to everyone. Writing everyone notes before their fights, wishing them luck and saying that she believed in them.

My head asploded when all those morons were slagging her off, and I'm so glad that she won the whole thing. With a bit of luck Miesha will iron Rousey out now as well!

[AdamM]

Amen to that last bit.
Rousey moaning she was portrayed badly.
They didn't fake her flipping Miesha off week in week out and threatening her every five minutes.
Was a Rousey fan before the show, but thoroughly unpleasant girl.

Though Miesha handled it exceptionally well.

For balance, I thought that the way she treated all fighters (bar Miesha ldo) was really good. She always had time for the ones on Miesha's team too, and the gifts on fathers day for the fighters on the other team was a very nice touch.

She certainly went out of her way to ensure that she wasn't remembered for that though, and it was good to see Pena give her a bit of stick in an interview after the finale.

Regardless, Tate by armbar one times please!

[AdamM]

Did you see the interview Anik did with them at the finale?
Cut the atmosphere with a knife much?

Just got caught up with that show yesterday.
Nate Diaz after fight interview was a classic.

[AdamM]

Just placed a 3 fold on UFN 33
Hunt v Big Foot should be explosive, and I'm picking Hunt to score the TKO (any win will do for the bet though).
I Like Te Huna, but I think Rua should be able to handle him. Rua's recent losing record have made the odds pretty close.
I also Like Antony Perosh, but sadly, i think Bader will dry hump him to a decision (again, any win is ok for the bet).
Getting 5/1 on the combo.

Also looking forward to seeing Pat Barry, but wasn't on the coupon.

I saw him chatting with them both during the event., and it was awkard to say the least.

They're pretty funny guys - 'I had to fight because I'm broke'


Ronda was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night, talking about bashing some guys up in the cinema...

Remember the event is tonight this week guys since it is in Oz.

Lets go the Hunt and Barry first round double!

I'll have some of that, gonna be a rough weekend with Morning Line at 8am tomorrow!

[Marky147]

Just LOL @ that fight!

[AdamM]

Gutted. So close.
Bader dominated.
Shogun destroyed.
When Hunt landed that straight right in the third, thought the bet was in the bag.

I scored it 48-47 Hunt, but can't really complain because I'm always banging in that there should be more 10-10 rounds and as a result more draws.

Don't think if was a lol fight at all.
Just both fighters gas tanks ran out long before their heart did.

Love Pat Barry, but he needs to get his ass down to 205

[Marky147]

Was in amazement that they got through 5 rounds after clumping each other like that, and not at the fighters themselves

[AdamM]

Fair enough.
Both looked like they'd be happy to pack it in at 4 rounds and go to the score cards :-)

Was like a Rocky movie, great spectacle on the most part and those 2 are definitely not built for 5

Incredible resilience by both fighters, and the amount of heavy head shots should have seen it over much earlier!
