general MMA/ combat sport sh1t talk

1.8 million matched after 1 day, the conor effect is real, this will break records on betfair

Interesting match up id expect Mayweather to win obviously however I wouldn't expect him to KO mcgregor personally taking 5/6 on a guy who hasn't knocked anybody out since 2011 7 fights ago. Id expect Mayweather to use his speed and pick him off over the course of the fight..

let the mid games begin.

I think floyd can easily tko conor, I'll take it at the current price. I think ppl are giving mcgregor too much credit here

matt hughes update:

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Family-Says-UFC-Hall-of-Famer-Matt-Hughes-Condition-is-Improving-123933

great news to hear he's improving.

On the other hand I think the train may be R.I.P after hitting that gorilla!

tonya evinger in for megan anderson against cyborg, that was quick...

Robbie lawler vs Donald cerrone postponed due to a cerrone injury.

evinger did well, comparitively at least...

lawler cerrone was nice too

1 month break after the moreno event next week unfortunately

gastelum vs silva announced

ufc still trying to build gastelum despite all his **** ups?

thought he was going back to ww, maybe the cut is just too much. MW is too big for him but he can't make ww..

there's been talk about new weight classes though, the gaps between LW/WW and WW/MW are too big imo

8 oz gloves confirmed for floyd/conor.

now rumours floyd got KO's in training

kevin lee  vs tony ferguson for the interim lightweight belt. strange that beating chiesa in the most stacked division in mma gets you a title shot now....

thanks for nothing khabib...

Always these sort of rumours though Razz. Most likely to try and increase PPV sales £££. Sure I read that Floyd has used 8oz glove for 46/49 of his fights so it's not that big of a deal IMO.

definitely they are trying to increase sales. but also I'm convinced these stories are released to try and affect the price. like when dana released the sparring video with malinaggi, conor's odds immediately dropped. and when the glove story also they dropped again soon after. floyd has said he's going to be betting on himself and I think he's trying to make it seem as if conor has a better chance than he has to get more better odds on himself. he's savvy with money and he knows more ppl are going to bet conor anyway which is good for him.

**** JDS popped, black beast vs nganou now. black beast is going down..

What's yur prediction Razz for the Mayweater fight?

Is Jon Jones finished with the steroid bust or just another 9 month ( 1 fight ) ban ?

4 year ban.

Very sad times. Has to affect hus legacy this. Should be remembered for being the GOAT but he'll be remembered for the ther **** now.

forgot about this, what a ****how, even with a 4 year ban which i think might be unlikely but who knows, I still think he can comeback then but he wont be the same. yeah not sure what to think of his recent performances now. such a waste of talent..

I had mayweather by ko/tko and ML pre fight but all the hype and **** made me double guess my instincts and I only went pretty small on both.. pretty annoyed in hindsight I warning ppl about being affected by all the hype pre fight and let it happen to me : /

edgar out of the holloway fight god dammit, cruz out too

aldo calling for a rematch, I say **** it and let zabit magomasuizfhaukwfdhawiwhatever fight holloway instead

Frank Mir vs Fedor announced for bellator, why not at this point... tough fight for fedor these days

Bellator Heavyweight tournament market up.

https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/mixed-martial-arts/market/1.137377840
finding it really hard to pick a winner, surely bader, mitrione or mir wins though.

im thinking bader tbh, he's a really big lhw so he wont be hugely undersized and is the only fighter thats in his prime haha. might make a thread for this later

when does it get underway?

january 20th I think, starts on the rory mcdonald vs douglas lima fight card, what a fight that's going to be, possibly the 2 best welterweights on the planet.

https://www.bestfightodds.com/

It says rampage and chael is the first fight, have to bet rampage at that price. 1.74 atm, but weird **** always happens with bellator so I wont bet that much

Do you think Bellator will ever be genuine competition to the UFC?

not any time soon no, strikeforce was a legitimate threat, but after they got bought out, scott coker doesn't have enough top fighters in bellator to get to where he was. and a lot of fans now are very new to the sport so they get drawn by stars, not douglas lima(who could be the best ww right now) unfortunately.

cub swanson vs brian ortega this weekend, excited to see ortega again, some of the best ground game in the sport atm. cub's a little over the hill I feel but still dangerous. ortega makes a lot of improvements with his striking from fight to fight and is a lot younger(i think) fighter with a lot less miles on the clock. I feel like cub has a pennant to put an exciting fight over fighting smart too. took ortega at a slight underdog for a couple units

beautiful guillotine form ortega, that adjustment mid choke was so skillful, truly one of the top jiu jitsu games in the sport, great to see a gracie student do so well after all these years.. cub looked ok on the feet but his strikes just didnt phase ortega at all, who just ate them like tic tacs

moraes's KO was another contender to KO of the year, I don't think sterling will be the same after that.

Fedor vs Mir tonight, gone small on mir @1.8 but not that confident, he is back on the juice and looked great at the weigh ins, proof that he is taking it seriously and not just showing up for a payslip. he weighed 300lbs not that long ago and lost 30lbs. fedor looked better than he has in a long time too. but with mir being the much heavier guy and fedor basically losing to  MW ufc reject fabio maldonaldo, i feel mire is the right side and couldn't resist betting mir in this o.a.p fight.

Had the exact same conversationg with my mate last night

frank mir back on the juice
260 with abs
fedor got bashed up by Maldonado a few years ago
and they gave him decision
because he's a fan fave
bent as ****
got overturned I think
then mitrione sparkiod him
mir should just smash him right up
20lbs heavier
fitter

might have a carpet on mir
to pay for my ufc ticket

WP, Mir... Awful tactics.

Oh well, IFW just got more expensive

that's a good win for fedor at this point in his career, now he gets to fight sonnen... fedor vs chael sonnen, wtf is happening lol. glad i kept my mir bet small and seeing fedor winning again was a small consolation

Nah, for 226 in July.

Definitely a good result for Fedor, and be interesting to see him against Chael.

I'm presuming Chael will want to be juiced up, if he's getting in with Fedor.

chael was almost certainly juiced vs fatpage in all likelihood, probably everyone in the tournament is lol. I think bader takes the tournament, king mos should be an easy fight, he's had a lot of injuries, is old, shopworn, had serious multiple bouts of staph that ravaged his body apparently. and even when he was in his prime i didn't rate him that highly.

I'd imagine so, and definitely will be for Fedor

Bader should be winning that at a canter, as he's the only one whos anywhere near their prime.

mitrione has a chance to catch him, but outside that i dont see anyone else standing a chance. saw a pic of him somewhere next to king mo, he looked giant.

About all any of them have, I think.

Unless he gets sloppy, should beat all convincingly.

I love poirier to beat diaz. i got evens but am adding on anything above 1.5. think he closes 1.4 or even lower.

Gegard Mousasi vs Rory McDonald in bellator tomorrow, rory is a straight up savage fighting mousasi who's a weight class above whilst already having entered the bellator ww tournament!!

betfair even got a market for it :

https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/mixed-martial-arts/market/1.148696261

I like gegard to win, i got him @1.5 but might try to hedge with rory ko if props are released for it.
