UFN 120 - Poirier vs Pettis - Virginia

[Jae Gibbz]

It's pretty simple to just use the meaning to explain it.

It's the same as a moneyline but when scorecards are involved in any way in determining the winner, the bet is refunded.

Not sure how this board came up with the convention "NSC" when the line says "scorecards = no action." I think that adds to the confusion as well. I have always used and will always use SNA or S=NA. "NSC" (no scorecards) makes it seem like you're betting for it not to go to the scorecards (meaning there will be a finish).

lol I actually started to use S=NA, but everybody else uses NSC so I just use that

Sage will win this fight easily I am telling you. Betting Quinones is not good stuff & the opposite of elite.

 

[betrayedlurker]

Pretending Quinones is a good fighter just to bet him here is a #mark move. I can tell you right now that Quinones wouldn't have even a fraction of the success Sage did against Barberena before he quick tapped, plus Quinones has no ground game himself. The creepy little choir dweeb clearly still has potential, especially as a striker. Quinones has NO ceiling.

Kalikas picking Quinones as well

Sharps are on Quinones

Marks are on Northcutt

Seriously how can anyone bet Sage as a favourite in the UFC at this point smh

Kalikas is so sharp that he didn't even profit in 2016 lol.

-10u in a year where he charged $700 every 3 months for his bets.

Again, no actual reasoning or analysis from you. Just blank statements. Sage has struggled with grapplers, specifically guys that can sub him. Quinones is just a Walmart kickboxer.

I'm not betting this bum fight, but lol @ betting Quinones just to "#FADESAGE LOL". Even if he wins, that's not something sharps do.

I"m really liking the Pettis/Porier under 3.5 as well.

I either see Pettis getting an early KO, or Poirier getting a mid 3 round submission

hmm cant see that happening.. Poiriers' last sub was what 5 years ago? and Pettis never been subbed he even survived long periods on the ground vs Oliveira iirc

 

[thewiggo]

If anyone is getting a sub it's Pettis.

I see Pourier getting an early KO though.

As for Sage... just wait till he wins. This is one of my most confident picks of the year.

 

[wack3d]

most confident pick of year and Sage in the same sentence what is going on in this thread lol surprised the fight is even being talked about.. clear skip imo

You think sherdog is your ally? You all merely adopted the ability to endlessly discuss dodgy fights to the point of exhaustion. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already elite, by then it was nothing to me but blinding.

I can understand why people may be surprised, but I see this as a really good match up for him and I think he gets the win

I thought so too, but started looking into it when Sage dropped to -160. Quin only offers an outside kicking game. He got away with it as he was always the bigger, more athletic guy on the regional circuit. Now he is facing a bigger, faster, more athletic fighter with more power in his hands and decent wrestling. Just a good stylistic matchup which was clearly made by the ufc, imo, to get Sage back on track.

Can a man dream for Christ's sake!!!!????

lol.

all in all, I don't see this going 5 rounds. I"ll be shocked if it did.

i think i started the NSC trend, haha, and i've regretted it for a while

have we learned nothing about the dangers of completely dismissing fighters' chances? some of this is getting old.

I'm happily on sage, myself. Just small. Maybe I'm square, eh?

...or maaaaaaybe I see a guy with a huge athletic upside who has taken time off to improve his game at a VERY young age vs a dude who is a one dimensional fighter? (Good technical striker, not much power). I bet quinones against Rocha pre ufc and I (incorrectly) played him vs Gordon.

Sage is also the bigger dude. Wasn't a tiny 170 and quinones should be 145.

Sage can land takedowns, might have more power, and is actually arguably the more experienced ufc fighter here.

I think he wins 2/3 the time. -160 was fine with me.


...or again, maybe I'm a "mark," too.

Or maybe you really like his Spartacus physique

LOL!

Wasn't Mickey Gall a one dimensional fighter? Wasn't his one dimension the ground yet he dropped Sage cause Sage has the worst defense ever, even against a guy whos stand up is garbage?

Sorry but Vivisection gets thousands of views and have the #sealofapproval on their analysis for a reason. They are smart enough to know Sage isn't trustworthy just cause he trains with TAM now

Gonna be GOAT when Sage eats one punch and his privliedged white male Disney lifestyle kicks in and he immediately wilts
