Conor getting jacked

And with that muscle mass goes his timing and his stamina.

BRB loading up on RDA.

Addendum: fuck that, I'll wait for the micks to drive up his line.

I lost a house on Conor last time, and I am prepared to do it again. RDA is a beast . Honestly, I am not sure when to pull the trigger on this. Right now +120/+130 seems like a gift, but the Conor fan boys always seem to move it as we get closer to fight time.

Im getting in medium action on RDA at +120 and Im going to go balls deep if the micks stack up on Conor in the final stretch.

In other news, you should take a hard look at Bisping against Silva if you want to sweat a live dog. Line already moved from +250 to +235 but I think a lot of people are going to pile onto Silva at -310'ish because they think its safe & easy money. Pre USADA, pre crippling injury, pre KO sure I guess, why not, but Bisping is a pressure fighter on his home turf facing a counter puncher freshly ex-juicer in the twilight of his career. Fuck Bisping to pieces but I think he binks a majority decision here.

I actually like Bisping as well. Great value given everything going on with Silva

It is insanity RDA opens at -160 and could be +150 or more on fight night.

I just found one book at +140. I'm a McGreggor mark but I did put some money down as it seems like gold value.

I was surprised at the amount of heads on here who put big money on Aldo to beat McGregor last time. Aldo was shit scared going into that fight, even Joe Rogan said he looked nervous as fuck and that one side of his body looked bigger than the other. RDA may well also be juiced up, and fancy his chances better than Aldo, but will most likely still get KO'd when he comes in swinging wildly and walks straight into that left hand.

McGregor has such a strong focus and vision of how things will go down, and trains just as hard - if not more so - than the rest, not to mention he's being trained in movement and jiu jitsu by some of the best guys; he firmly believes he's going to win and knows how to do it, whereas RDA likely has niggling doubts in the back of his mind just like all of McGregor's previous opponents who got KO'd.

Ok it really sounds like youre just basing that entire perspective on Joe Rogan sound bytes. Joe Rogan is literally going senile on real time and his aspie fascination with McGregor has a horizon that ends at the last promotional video.

Watch McGregor's fight with Mendes. Mendes fucking styled on him. Mendes isnt even that good and had like 2 weeks notice. That was the fight immediately proceeding the flash KO of an old and declining Aldo. I didnt like the Aldo bets either but you know who did? A fucking ton of people who bet for a living. So just because I didnt have faith in Aldo doesnt mean I was right, it just means I was on the right side of the pitchfork, because I have never in my life seen a fight end with the first punch where it meant anything significant.

RDA is going to beast mode Conor the same way he beast mode'd Pettis and Cowboy. Conor can totally still land a Magic Punch because thats part of his arsenal, but dont mistake that for some mystical capacity for game planning and oh my god please PLEASE never again say that Conor's jitz training makes him somehow relevant on the ground. Where was Conor's training 8 months ago when Mendes fucked him up with total impunity from top position until he basically gassed from it?

Conor should be +260 against RDA. He's not because career mouth pieces like Rogan convince people he's some sort of mensa to sell tickets. Just like Rogan did with Ronda. And Silva. See a pattern?

+260 doesnt mean he cant win. It means RDA gets caught about 30% of the time or whatever. And thats just about right.

The Mendes fight looked closer than it really was, because every blow McGregor landed had power unlike the relatively tame shots received. He was comfortable being taken down and got a cut on his eye from an elbow but wasn't hurt, and Mendes couldn't find a way to do any serious damage, instead Mendes got tired and wounded from McGregor's counter elbows.

If RDA is smart he'll go for takedowns/submission and try to grind the fight to a decision, but he's used to standing close and pressuring fighters who haven't got the precision and power that McGregor does.

Should be an interesting fight, and I hope it goes the distance, but most likely will be another first round KO.

[DJ_Chaps]

Reem extended the ole contract.

[sonatine]

Reem extended the ole contract.

its a sad commentary on the state of the division that they even allowed him to.

[Crowe Diddly]

Reem didn't extend, he fought out his contract and became a free agent, then resigned. With Bellaforce around, that's a pretty big difference.

[Ricky]

Well well well, Rousey crying again.

[Crowe Diddly]

While we all wait for the next hammerhouse early casualty, look who's back in the Bellator fold again! Put away your lawsuits, grab your huge chain, and howl like a werewolf, Quentin Jackson is back!

^^^- If he wants to be as much of a headliner he can be then Bellator is Rampage place.

If anyone cares Rampage spends a lot of time on his twitch channel sometimes playing the UFC game but some other type of games too:

As for Rousey I'm tired of seeing her cry too but when you put your life into something and come up short when everyone had you on this pedestal thinking you couldn't lose it's got to be rough. She will become a more humble / level headed person from that loss but the fact is she got completely rocked and outclassed vs. Holm and unless she works on several things in her style this could repeat itself.

The part that should scare Ronda the most is Holm blocked Rousey from tossing her to the ground and I think Ronda must get Holly to the mat in order to win.

FWIW Ronda said the first flush shot to her gabber left her on queer street and honestly I'm not so sure thats bullshit.

The shot rattled Ronda for sure (not sure if she was out on her feet tho).

Ronda was never punched like that in a MMA fight before. Rousey definitely went into panic, reckless aggression mode knowing she didn't want to take any more punches like that which ended up being her demise.
