So glad I didn’t put money down on these fights. I picked Rodriguez and Overeem to win. If I would have lost those bets to a majority draw and a literal last second KO, I would have been livid.
I was doing 3 team NFL parlays earlier this season and lost two weeks in a row because of a half point in one of the games I picked. I stopped doing parlays.
Pretty good weekend for grappling nerds before 245. Quintet has some zesty match-ups. No-Gi Worlds is underway. Ed Ruth is competing at Purple (lol) and Kenny Florian is in one of the Masters brackets. Jacare got his fourth degree:
Seeing Aldo is horrific. I cannot believe he’s attempting to do this cut and I hope never does it again.
I wish I was more excited for tomorrows card. I'm pretty much only excited for the non-title fights. I think the card is going to drag hard as fuck and run super late because all three title fights have a pretty good chance at going the full 25 minutes. Yan/Faber - I got Yan by decision. Moraes/Aldo - I think Aldo gets viciously knocked out. He looked absolutely terrible during his weight cut. Nunes/GDR - Nunes by decision. GDR isn't going to rush in and go punch for punch like Cyborg did. She'll fight smart but still lose. Holloway/Volkanovski - Max by decision. Halloway has a ridiculous takedown defense of like 90% or some shit. Covington/Usman - The fans are the losers. I'm dreading watching this. I think this is going to be beyond boring to watch. Usman has never been taken down in the UFC. Covington will get him down but he won't keep him down. I'll take Usman.
