I thought Nelson was going to go for a wrestle-heavy strategy as it was his only path to victory.
(I know that Mir out-wrestled Nelson in the first fight, but Mir's wrestling and mobility has degraded a lot worse over the years)
Naturally, the idiot doesn't do that until the end of the 3rd, when he gets a takedown effortlessly. Bleh. I was contemplating a play on Mir when he was +215, but I don't even regret not playing it.

Haha, Sonnen accusing Mir's camp of cheating.

So chael leaking the inside info that roy's leg was hurt and mir found out so he threw leg kicks all night long. Wish we knew that..
Handicapped Ilara Joanne perfectly, only wish I went much bigger with such value on her as an underdog to the very mediocre Bec Rawlings. Smart game plan by Frank Mir with the leg kicks and keeping range. He also was a lot bigger than fat Roy and his chin held up much better than expected. Loss of 8.48 units as a result.

Glad there were no betting lines for the Baby Slice fight. Otherwise it would be a mess with bookies potentially wanting to refund two days later:

Mixed feelings about this. When I watched it live, I thought Baby Slice's elbows were very blatantly illegal.
But on replay, exactly ONE elbow was illegal, and even that occured thanks to his opponent's movement, not an intentional targeting of the area. I actually would have let the original TKO decision stand, personally, although changing it to a NC is not horrible.
