UFC 221 - Rockhold vs Romero - Australia

[iGnP]

100%. They don't know much about implied odds, etc. but they (mostly Connor) are good at identifying when a largish underdog has a really good shot. Off the top of my head, they called Kattar/Filhi and Kim/Kish well.

they were both VERY confident in Whittaker > Jacare too

What makes you guys think that Rockhold can keep getting rounds other than kicks?

I don't know. Like I said, I don't have a big lean, that's why Romero holds so much value for me. He has good standup, good takedowns...Luke has one of the best gnp/mount/ground games...But will he use it?

Hmm another. I believe the trend was fighters missing by 4+ no?

romero looked fine at weighins. he aint stupid. he aint coming back on weight

 

[ill800]

Who cares about a fake belt?

Winner is fighting for the real title anyway

 

[TheOneTrueKing]

im gonna get the 2.5 ive been waiting for

I'd honestly blame a miss that small on a faulty hotel scale or something.

From Erik Apple on the UG on Romero

"He doesn't look healthy with that walk"

Yoel +155... forced my hand. He shouldn't be that much of a dog against anyone in the division gimme a break

Yea I like that number too. I was waiting for +150 but I think I’m just going to be happy with my play on ko +250

I have a hard time seeing him winning a 5rd decision

+715 on the decision is tempting though


Edit: played it for a unit. I think it may get bet up even more

Still may have to hit that though

I'm splitting half and half on ML and KO

Yoel is going to lose bros.

Guy is almost 41, having a bad weight cut this close to before the fight is not going to end well vs a monster like Luke. If he doesn’t get lucky KO early, he’s going to gas and get shredded.

Honestly though, Luke looks worse in that interview than Yoel did at the scales

*Aside from a rematch with Whitaker, I agree. Adding to Yoel.

I'd still bet Yoel at +150 against Whittaker

I was thinking the same thing, maybe Luke had even more tough weight cut than Romero

He did look awful. He could barely put a sentence together.

Not me, no way. I might not bet Bob either, but I'd need close to +200 to bet Yoel. After the first 7 minutes, that fight wasn't close. If anything I'd bet Yoel rd 1 for a tiny bet. Once Whit figured out range, that fight was a wrap.
