Lineker's great but Dodson has the potential to bullet time him for 25 straight minutes.

Gotta agree with Roy. Shit job by Big John. Should've been stopped several seconds sooner then it was. Nog wasn't defending himself and inexcusable.

[ftpjesus]

Up until the last 3 Rousey fights where she KOd 2 and got KTFO by Holly Holm every chick she fought tapped out to an armbar.. She was pretty much the armbar Queen until suddenly she developed her striking ability finally.. Other then Rousey cant think of too many Armbar subs in the last several years

im talking about professional high level mma.



not ... whatever it is exactly that women are doing in the cage these days.


it actually makes me physically ill that im in a thread where i have to spell that out.

Up until Rouseys asskicking she was being treated as the beast of all women's MMA. (My how the mighty have fallen). But agreed outside of Rousey it's usually RNCs that cause tapouts.

I might stack on Alvarez on this one

You thinking Eddie wins by armbar in the late 1st?

[Shizzmoney]

Conor Mcgregor (-160) and Eddie Alvarez (+130) early line on Bovada.

[sonatine]

I wouldnt take Alvarez here at worse than +210. I just dont see the advantage otherwise. Maybe I need to rewatch his RDA fight but at the time I felt it was kind of a fluke..

I think Conor is going to unhinge Eddie's jaw, personally.

Yeah I mean, the biggest lesson Ive learned recently is that Conor shows up when he needs to and can/will fight smart. Eddie could smother him for the blanket W but thats not a great bet to make at like +140 here.

Again I need to rewatch Eddie's work recently because the last 3 rounds could be like Conor's first round against Mendes... so maybe the plays here are Conor via TKO and Eddie by decision.. will have to check the prop lines.

[Shizzmoney]

I think these are the plays, as well as betting the over rounds prop. This should be a 5 round fight, IMO (unless Conor finds Eddie's jaw...but Eddie has a great chin and his last TKO loss came in 2007). Eddie's lost twice since 2007, but both by subs and Conor has no sub game.

Eddie has great cardio, and that could help him steal rounds 4 and 5 especially if he can continually take the fight to the ground.

How many pfaers have to loose their ass betting against Conor?

Lets have some real talk tho; I am not entirely sold on Eddie's durability. And I think he got over on RDA because RDA was no longer roided to the gills.

And if Conor TKO's him its going to be early because Conor's power drops off hard after rd2 and thats without a weight cut. So something like Eddie by decision at +375 seems exponentially more profitable than a 2.5 round over at +220, because once we pass the 13 minute mark I think its Eddie's game... but again I really need to rewatch that RDA fight, just riffing here really.

[Shizzmoney]

I can't judge on RDA and the "Brazilian Steroids" theory until I see him in his next fight (which is one of my favs, Tony Ferguson). I certainly favor Ferguson, but if RDA gets starched again, especially in the way he lost to Eddie where he simply got RUN OVER, I would be more apt to see Eddie's win more as a fluke.

But Eddie is a gamer, man. He's just a steady, solid, good fighter. Does everything pretty well, although nothing spectacular, which is why Conor via early KO (rd 1 or 2) is in play because Conor's striking is so dynamic and even held well against HOFers like Aldo and Nate. And Eddie is no where near the striker those guys are. But he has pretty damn good wrestling, and that's now to neutralize Conor in this fight for him, IMO.

[sonatine]

You are definitely making me wonder if Im underestimating Eddie.

The RDA/steroid comments are based on Pettis' and Cowboy's extremely telling body language after their losses. It was very "oh ok so it was that kind of fight, great, of course" shade-based-accusations when some RDA retard-strength'd them.

I believe Dana announced a few hours ago that Conor was relinquishing the belt after this fight, but no matter how you look at it, Sean Shelby is fucking up.

[OSA]

So I am definitely getting tickets for this. All of the douches from LI for Weidman in one stadium is too good to miss up. Plus the weigh ins.

This time, I am not getting tickets until the day before. No more curses.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday. Anyone have any idea on price of tickets? They tried to rape people for 200, I gotta think 205 will be the same.
