UFC 199 pbp/discussion

obligate asshole science comment: light years are a measure of distance, not time

Very true, this is what happens when you try to work out what happen in the film interstellar !
 
Congrats piglord, I think the entire board thought your bisping play was never going to hit in a million light years lol, if it works and brings home the bacon, that is all that matters.

must have felt like this when it happen

I thought piglord had lost his marbles putting that much money down of Bisping. I mulled it over in my head so many times, same with hendo but for the life of me I just couldn't bring myself to put anything on them at all but look waht happened and look how many dog upsets we've had already this year. No matter how inevitable an outcome may seem nothing is set in stone, in this game anything can happen. I'm starting to feel like who ever my initial gut instinct is I should fucking just pick the opposite guy :D
 
anyone think we get semi playable odds on Weidman when he fights Bisping now that the count has vanquished both Luke and Anderson?

I'll be very surprised if we don't. I'd love to see Bisping defend the belt at least a couple of times but I really don't see that happening especially if he gets Jacare next. Then again what the fuck do I know? :rolleyes:

the fact that Luke was -700 against him prob means books dont value him highly at all. Even after this fight, which is probably an outlier result, Id be shocked if Weidman wasn't a decent sized favorite

People will be more willing to throw down a lot of money on bisping now. Weidman will prob be a slight favourite but I think the lines will move pretty quick.
 
Honestly this event taught me to say fuck short notice and play who I think is on the better side of the lines. I didn't profit the way I should've off Nate cause of it, and when Luke vs Bisping was announced I said I was eyeing Bisping til this whole bullshit about him filming a movie.

I think both piglord and plekz make proper points. Rockhold is an excellent kickboxer, but he is an extremely predictable one. Left round kicks, left straight and from the other side a check hook and question mark kick account for a largeee majority of his offense. It was incredibly smart of Bisping to circle into Rockhold's right side outside of range and wait for the counters, hes unquestionably a better boxer with a style to exploit Luke's deficiencies. And he did, in a much more devastating way than anyone could've imagined because Luke decided to not respect him and over commit to his hands in a way he never has before.

don't make a unilateral decision / strategy adjustment just on tonight -- sorry for the losses, i feel ya, believe me

Yeah you're right. Plenty of times the short notice fighter does look obviously affected, can't get rash off of two examples where they pull through.

Dk if you kept watching after you left the thread last night, but was imagining how pissed you were watching Cole Miller fight lol

yea i saw the whole thing live. even bet miller +1100 after rd 2 and wanted to vomit when he lost the sub(s).

felt like trash.

dariush, ortega, poirier b2b2b saved me. i went 3-8 on the 11 fights i bet, but those 3 were all large wins, fortunately.

Glad to here you're back on track man, just in time for MMA Christmas in early July

you are more likely to get rockhold v weidman 2, and then bisping v jacare. they'd be assholes to try and deny jacare first at that title now. there are no other matchups to give jacare, the fight with rockhold was ages ago, there's really nothing to ignite there that compares to the very recent and alive rivalry between rockhold and weidman.

Totally forgot about Jacare. You're right about him prob being next but I don't think they'll set Luke and Weidman in a non title match up
 
In other news, the UFC has banned GOAT Helwani from covering events.

I get yellow card. Ariel gets banned. Confidence increase in life?
Im glad helwani is getting heat. It just makes him cooler to be an outcast instead of a suck up. Helwani is a REAL journalist not s shill

probably when the lines come out but he will get pounded real fast.
